My old self. Regain my sparkling!
I want to meet my 6th grade, 12-year-old self. I aimed high just 10 years ago when I was 12. I've admired Namie Amuro-san since I was in kindergarten, and when I was 12 I remember in a fashion magazine seeing a notice about an audition for a school. I put in a submission, which then became the chance to form SCANDAL. Back then, I was like, "I'm really going to become a singer!" I honestly believed that and didn't doubt it.

That, you know. That.
Q25. Right now, if you thought, "I want to shout out my love somewhere!", where would it be, and what would you shout out?
On the rooftop of a school. I'd yell out, "Love meーーー"
Q26. If there was a time machine, where would you want to go: Past or future?
Past!
Right now, I can't help but want to go back to my sparkling self 10 years ago. Back then, I first had a longing to take lessons at school. There were teachers, and there were rivals were pursuing the same dream as I was... I was overflowing with passion, like, "There's no choice but to do it. I'm going to do it!" I felt so emotionally moved the first time I took a lesson. My dream of debuting was fulfilled, and three years have now passed. I'm getting used to all kinds of things little by little, so I really want to remember what it was like when I was starting out.
Q27. What advice would you give yourself from 10 years ago?
Be more sociable!
Q28. Please think about this realistically. What would you say if you stepped on a thumbtack? What would be your reaction?
I'd say "OWWWWWwwwwwww!ーーー" while trying to take it out immediately.
Q29. Please think about this realistically. What would you do if in Shibuya someone came up to you and said, "Yumiko!" while crying and clinging to you?
Calmly say, "I think you have the wrong person."

The bathroom
Q31. Do you have an incurable habit that you are aware of?
Being sarcastic.
Q32. What would you say makes you the most happy?

Q33. MAMI is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
The future will definitely be an adventure! I promise every day will be exciting!
Q34. TOMOMI is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
Though things can be hard, we'll get through it! It'll be okaーy! TOMOMI's here!
Q35. RINA is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
The wind of Kansai blows through in Tokyo too! Entrust the new era to RINA!

Keep staring at them.
Q37. You had an unpleasant fight with your friend... What kind of reconciliation strategy would you make?
Go out for drinks for the time being.
Q38. When your mood is at its maximum worst...if something involuntarily clears up your mood...what would it be?
Simply being treated kindly will clear it up.
Q39. Please tell us what you'd do if someone suddenly started following and hitting on you.
If that person came out of a limousine, then I'd go with them. Maybe.
Q40. The moment you can't help but want to fall in love is when?
When I hear someone's love story.
Q41. If you had to shout out a name of a vegetable or animal when something really good happens to you, which would it be?
Give that cat over there a carrot as a presentー!!!!!
Did I actually write that? This is bad; I don't remember it at all (laughs). ...probably, when I'm happy, I have feelings I don't understand. But basically I like dogs (laughs). A vegetable I like is tomatoes (laughs). Really...I wonder why I wrote this...
Q42. If the prefectures in Japan merged into one, what would the prefecture name be?
Shinshikyo-ken (A New Prefecture)
Q43. Please make up the title of a movie you'd like to see.
Wizard and Witch
It's embarrassing, but I want to become a wizard. That's been a dream of mine since I was really little (laughs). I love "Kiki's Delivery Service," and I also like the "Harry Potter" series. I want to go to a wizarding school, study magic, and one day fly in the sky on a broom.
Q44. Please make up the title of a song you'd like to hear.
"Jeongmal Sarang Haeyo"
'Jeongmal' means "very," and 'sarang' means "I LOVE YOU." Since it didn't occur to me at all, if I answer by arranging Hangul, I think it makes me want to listen to it...
Q45. Please make up the title of a TV program you'd like to see.
The Urban Legends of the World
I'd unintentionally start watching this. It's not like I myself can talk to everyone that has an urban legend, and I have an interest in stories that I don't know about. It unexpectedly tends to be like having a dream.
Q46. Please make up a menu item you would like to order.
My mom's meat and potato stew
Q47. Suppose you started a ramen shop. What would it be called?
HARUNA's Pavilion

Meat grilling at a yakiniku shop.

Non-rotating sushi!
Q50. What would you try to do on your next holiday?
I want to travel!
Q51. You have collected all of the Dragon Balls. What would you wish for?
Grow taller.
Q52. Please tell us something personal that has made you happy recently.
When I was about to pay when I had worn a mask and had ridden in a taxi, the driver told me, "Beautiful people wearing masks don't have to payー"
Even though I didn't have any makeup on (laughs). But it made me happy.
Q53. Please tell us something personal that has ticked you off recently.
Currently, the typing manager on my computer is broken, and the screen is hard to look at.
Q54. Please tell us a romantic story that you have experienced.
In my first year of high school at the entrance ceremony, several days later I confessed to this boy that I liked at first glance. But, for some reason we didn't go out.
On the day of the entrance ceremony, I saw this boy with a bandage on his nose. As soon as I saw him, I thought, "Uwa, he's cool." But after that, I couldn't find that person. Afterward, "Ah, you're that person," I realized, but looking at them, they were kind of different (laughs).
Q55. Please tell us a dramatic story that you have experienced.
The other day I unexpectedly met that person in Tokyo! I was surprised!
I was out shopping normally at Don Quijote when I heard, "Uwaa!" I wondered if he was a SCANDAL fan, the Q54 person. It was regrettable that I had band activities; it seemed that he's also on the entertainment road, and on his way to Tokyo to study acting (laughs). However, on that day, that's all that we had been able to say. I haven't gotten in touch with him after that, but he excessively speaks in Nagoya-ben. I was surprised that that's his hometown.
Q56. Lately, have you been interested in something that you weren't interested in before?
Cooking!
Q57. Please tell us what kind of feeling you get from your room.
I'll leave that to your imagination...
Right now, since my mom came over, it's really clean. That's why now I can show it off to everyone! I'll do my best to keep it clean!
Q58. Please brag about something valued by you.
Please bragーーーー!
I don't really have anything I can brag about... If I have to say something, well, I've said it often, but I can move my ears (laughs).
Q59. Please tell us a failure story.
There's a high chance I'll mess up the lyrics to "Space Ranger" during a live (laughs).
Q60. Please introduce a peculiar, valued person close to you.
The mothers of the members are unusually dark characters.
Q61. Please select a person. You can be with the person you like. Which member would you consult with?
TOMOMI
Q62. Please select a person. Please tell us a member's back episode.
MAMI often falls unexpectedly.
Q63. Please select a person. Please tell us which member has "changed," so to speak.
It's impossible for me to understand RINA's luxury fetishes (laughs).
Q64. Say you find a boy of a member's liking around town. Whose type would you have confidence in finding?
TOMOMI!
It's easy to understand what TOMO likes. Someone with stern eyes, someone that plays sports, someone that doesn't have long hair. When I find that kind of person, "Hey, isn't that your type?" I ask her, and I'm usually right. By the way, it seems like RINA wrote, "There are a lot of boys in Shibuya that are HARUNA's type" , though there surprisingly aren't. Somehow it's attached to the gyaru man-eater image, but that's not how it is.
Q65. What would you say if you were to confess to the person you like?
The usual "I like you..."
Q66. What would you want the person you like to say to you?
The usual "I like you..." is fine.
Q67. What do you think is the difference between love (koi) and love (ai)?
Love (koi) is exciting; love (ai) is trusting in each other.
Q68. Please tell us your ideal first date.
Shopping in Shibuya, then a meal, followed by saying bye.
Q69. Say you had a lover. What kind of situation would you feel the most jealous in?
When I'd see him talking with another girl that he's close with.
Q70. Say there's a SCANDAL mixer. Who would most likely be the most popular?
TOMOMI
Q71. Please picture each member's role and situation at that mixer.
MAMI→ Calm, and disappearing to check drinks.
TOMOMI→ Enjoying chit-chatting.
RINA→ Set on eating.
Q72. 「Current lover」, 「best friend」, 「unforgettable first love」; Which categories would each member be in?
Current lover→MAMI
Best friend→TOMOMI
Unforgettable first love→RINA
Q73. If you were to go solo, what would the title of your solo debut song be?
"Don't leave me on my own"
Since I haven't really thought about a solo debut, my mental state for the time being is "Please don't leave me alone now." If SCANDAL had been after a solo song then I could imagine it, but SCANDAL disbanding is something that I cannot imagine at all.
Q74. Please picture your solo career image.
One that's like Aikawa Nanase-san's might be good. A rock girl.
Q75. If you were to appear in a movie, what kind of role would you want to do?
I'd want to try doing an action movie. But a normal heroine in love would be okay too.
Q76. If you had been born a foreigner, what name would you like?
Ashley♪
Q77. A big-shot senior calls your name wrong...what would you do?
I'd brush it off the first time, but after the second time, I'd tell them that they're wrong.
Q78. Please tell us one instance of a bittersweet episode where you "laughed it off" that you have experienced thus far.
When "Haruka" went on sale, since the name had been gotten wrong a number of times, I decided to just keep smiling.

The air conditioner! It's cold!

Black, white, pink
Q82. Please tell us your least favorite color.
Yellow
Q83. Suppose a small boy shouted, "It's SCANDAL!" and touched your butt. What would your reaction be?
If he's cute then I might forgive him.
Q84. Suppose you farted accidentally during a live broadcast. What would your reaction be?
First of all, laugh.
Q85. Suppose five minutes before going on stage, your spirits are really low. What would you do to get yourself excited?
Move around with reckless abandon.
Q86. What's an awkward compliment for MAMI?
MAMI-chan is so cuteーso cuteー♪
Q87. What's an awkward compliment for TOMOMI?
TOMO-chan is the bestーthe best♪
Q88. What's an awkward compliment for RINA?
RINA-chan works so hardーworks so hardー♪
Q89. You must change the name of the band. Please give a new one.
HTMR
I didn't think of it at all; I tried arranging the first initials of the members.
Q90. What do you think of SCANDAL if you look at the band objectively?
Not calm.
Q91. What do you think of yourself if you look at yourself in SCANDAL objectively?
S-character
Q92. "I can't lose to anyone at ___!" Please tell us what would it be.
Can you dance bandman!
Q93. Please tell us your most memorable happening while in SCANDAL.
The tour in America. In many ways, it was a game!
America was, in any case, shocking. It was before our debut, and it was the first time I had gone overseas. I was amazed that we were able to do lives overseas, and surprisingly I got addicted to the climate in Los Angeles as well as the extent of freedom we had, so much so that I didn't want to go back (laughs). I felt like we were drowning in lives, but we threw away the idea that we had to play lives properly. First was to move our bodies, just as we thought, and the importance of performances sunk deeply into our minds. For me it was a good experience, and it was the land where we thought we wouldn't overcome that barrier and move forward.
Q94. Please tell us your personal, most memorable experience.
The day that SCANDAL formed.
Q95. Please tell us the ambitions that SCANDAL wants to achieve.
It has to be playing at Osaka-Jou Hall.
Q96. "That's exactly what we wanted to do this time!" Your burning desire is for what sort of song?
Disco-like, yet rock!
Q97. What exactly is 「BABY ACTION」?
Our third album. It's packed with our "What do we want to do" thoughts.
Q98. What exactly is 「SCANDAL」? Please answer in a haiku.
Right here in SCANDAL - this year everyone will all - become adults; yes
Q99. What exactly is 「rock」? Please answer in a haiku.
It's about feelings - and staying true to yourself - and you must shout out
Q100. Lastly, which question do you think was the most useless?
All of them (laughs)
RINA's complete 100 Q&A

Q6. Do you believe in fate?
Fate is woven
Q7. Who is your hero?
We can't be heroes; we're too busy with part-time jobs.
That's a lyric from the song "Aitai" (laughs). As a postscript, when I stand on stage I want to be the hero inside myself. There is usually a feeling of being rather distanced when I see myself on stage. I think this sensation is wonderful, and I want to be more like the me that is yearned for.
Q8. Did you have any nicknames when you were a kid?
RINAriー
Q9. What is your "charisma"?
Popira
Popira is a game which requires fast reflexes that was popular when I was in primary school. I was unreasonably good at this game which involved pressing buttons to fit together music and dropping balls. I couldn't do any other games but with Popira only, I had god-like level (laughs).
Q10. What is your favorite season and why?
Summer. You can wear lots of lightweight clothes!

Q18. Please tell us a negative aspect of yourself..
Through power is zero!
Q19. Who do you want to meet the most right now? What would you do once you met them?
SCANDAL on the day that they filmed the DOLL music video. I'd teach them.
Now, looking at it, everything is an embarrassing clump. The song itself even now is still cool, but it's horrible; we really were not aware of the camera movement at all. Anyway, I'd want to teach them how to swing their heads (laughs)
Q20. Conversely, who do you not want to meet the most? Please tell us why.
A tengu (goblin). Because the first time I met one I was really nervous.
Whether it's inspiration or not I don't know, but you can meet youkai (monsters). I met a tengu once during a pre-school summer holiday. My favorite thing was playing on my own in a vinyl pool. That day, as I prepared my swimwear and went out of the front door, there was a tengu in front of the pool. Unreasonably red, it was carrying a stick with a bell attached, and it wore a skirt and geta (wooden clogs). It was staring at me. Thinking that it was rather dangerous, I called out for my mother, but then it wasn't there anymore... And also, while playing with a ball in the drawing room, I saw an unreasonably large foot and a bee that was almost as big as me!
Q21. How would you spend a sleepless night? What would you do to make yourself fall asleep?
Murmur to myself. Wait until I can fall asleep.
Q22. Please tell us an excuse you're likely to use for being late on mornings you can't wake up.
I made a mistake with the time. I'm sorry

I've gone to karaoke by myself. I'm afraid I've sang "Shoujo S" before.
Q24. If you turned into a boy for just one day, what would you want to do?
Have fun with girls.
Q25. Right now, if you thought, "I want to shout out my love somewhere!", where would it be, and what would you shout out?
At a live house; "I love you!"
Q26. If there was a time machine, where would you want to go: Past or future?
Future. I'd like to go and see if I become a lady.
Q27. What advice would you give yourself from 10 years ago?
Sulky.
Anyway, I'm troublesome (laughs). Since I was little, once I'd decided to do something, that was absolutely what I did, but I'd inevitably hit a wall each time. So I got angry with myself, shouting and crying. I would sulk. In the end, by carrying on and not giving up I got over that wall, but to do that I have tried hard to eliminate the sulky scenes (laughs). Because to keep going you need a bit of patience, I think.
Q28. What would you say if you stepped on a thumbtack? What would be your reaction?
U-wa, blood came out. Look.
Q29. Please think about this realistically. What would you do if someone in Shibuya said, "Yumiko!" while crying and clinging to you?
Being careful, I'd wait for them to stop.
Q30. Please think about this realistically. If you received a love letter from a classmate that's kind of your type, where would you read it?
Ask, "Is it okay to read it right now?" and read it immediately.
Q31. Even if you know about it, do you have an incurable habit?
I'm too much of a perfectionist.
Q32. What would you say makes you the most happy?

Q34. TOMOMI is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
I'll give you candy! Elect me! Teitei!

Welcome to my world.
Q36. You want to make your friends laugh no matter what. What do you do?
Give them lots of acorns.
Q37. You had an awkward fight with your friend...what kind of reconciliation strategy would you make?
I'd try to make up, and I go to them if I can.
Q38. When your mood is at its maximum worst...if something involuntarily clears up your mood...what would it be?
I recover if someone laughingly taps me on the shoulder and says, "What's this!! Oi!"
Q39. Please tell us what you'd do if a nanpa suddenly started following you.
If a guitarist putting his guitar back into its hard case after a street performance said to me, "Maybe you have free time?" ...err, no.
Q40. The moment you can't help but want to fall in love is when?
When I watched Tokyo Love Story
I originally watched it because this drama was on TV the year I was born but I totally love it. I thought, "I want to be Rika Akana!" I especially love the scene in the park, where Rika meets Kanji again after breaking up. Rika says 「もう、ほかの誰かじゃイヤだからね」 ("I don't want anyone else"). I think I'd like to say a similar line someday (laughs).

Q53. Please tell us something personal that has ticked you off recently.
While on a crowded train, my leg was pinched by older girl sitting in front of me. Why?
Q54. Please tell us a romantic story that you have experienced.
Walking from Kyobashi to Umeda while talking with MAMI. In the end we got so tired that we came back by train.
During our indies period in Osaka, after studio practice had finished, it became a daily routine to take a stroll with MAMI. HARUNA and TOMOMI would stay at home, having girl talk and watching DVDs, but mornings and evenings we walked around. The course was generally decided, but one day, daringly, we walked what seemed a much greater distance that usual. Talking about bands, memorizing guitar terminology etc., talking about music all the while. Anyway, we kept on walking for about three stops and then came back by train, but I haven't forgotten the scenes I saw that time. I think that was the first moment my mother didn't decide something; I myself made the decision of what I would do.
Q55. Please tell us a dramatic story that you have experienced.
My classmates held a surprise party after school, even though up until that day I hadn't told anyone except the teacher that I was moving to Tokyo.

Unbranded, high quality things

Potato-head. Our make-up artist.
Q61. Please select a person. You can be with the person you like. Which member would you consult with?
MAMI

TOMOMI often drops things. Dropping your bag without realizing it is quite a high level.
Q63. Please select a person. Please tell us which member has "changed," so to speak.
MAMI - With curry, she'll only eat the curry sauce. With don-mono, she'll only eat the topping.
It's not just curry, but katsu-don and oyako-don too. She'll just eat the topping, then give it to the staff. And with onigiri and such she'll say "Recently I've been worried about white rice" (laughs). So she won't allow anything on top of rice. I don't understand why not. (laughs)
Q64. Say you find a boy of a member's liking around town. Whose type would you have confidence in finding?

Going to a movie theater and such; something indoors
I'd prefer a non-love story movie. I've always really liked love stories, but lately I haven't had any interest in them at all. I like fantasy and sci-fi-based love stories, and movies with car action and the like; my tastes might have gotten a little guy-ish. I like romantic stuff, but it kind of feels that a little bit of poison has been put into them (laughs).
Q69. Say you had a lover. What kind of situation would you feel the most jealous in?
The moment they're talking happily with an attractive person that I don't know.
Q70. Say SCANDAL throws a mixer. Who would most likely be the most popular?
TOMOMI - She has a lot of techniques.
Q71. Please picture each member's role and situation at that mixer.
HARUNA - Talking intently with one of her favorite people, and in a world of their own.
TOMOMI - Drunk and fawning on people nearby.
MAMI - Exchanging contact information while ordering a drink.
Q72. 「Current lover」, 「best friend」, 「unforgettable first love」; Which categories would each member be in?
HARUNA - Best friend
TOMOMI - Current lover
MAMI - Unforgettable first love
Q73. Suppose you had a solo career...what would the title of your solo debut song be?
"I MISS YOU"
Q74. Please picture your solo career image.
I think I might cry (laughs).
As I thought, RINA really loves the members. Really, if I wasn't with everyone, I wouldn't want to do anything. That's why being called RINA of SCANDAL really is the best. RINA the girl doing a solo debut isn't something I can imagine. Realistically speaking, now, that is not something that I want to do.
Q75. If you were to appear in a movie, what kind of role would you be okay with?
Anything
Q76. If you had been born a foreigner, what name would you like?
Angelina
Q77. A big-shot senior calls your name wrong...what would you do?
Enthusiastically answer back!
Q78. Please tell us one instance of a bittersweet episode where you "laughed it off" that you have experienced thus far.
When a big-wig person said "Osaka-born children; there aren't any of themー"
Q79. Please be honest. Right now you want to say one word to someone. To whom and what would you say?
Mama, thank you.
Q80. What do you think is the difference between children and adults?
Being good at enduring
Q81. Here's an ordinary question. What's your favorite color?
Pink
Q82. All right; what's a color you hate?
I'd like to ask you backー♪
"Do I have any feelings of hate for colors?" is what it means, right (laughs)? I don't hate any, but TOMO is confident that green or yellow clothes don't suit me.
Q83. Suppose a small boy shouted, "It's SCANDAL!" and touched your butt. What would your reaction be?
RINA ya de! (I'm RINA!)
Q84. Suppose you accidentally farted during a live broadcast. What would your reaction be?
Poker face
Q85. Suppose five minutes before going on stage, your spirits are really low. What would you do to get yourself pumped up?
Shout out
Q86. What's an awkward compliment for HARUNA?
When I decide to do something daring, there's no one else that can settle the cluttered air but HARUNA!
Lately, when the two of us go out to eat and shop, I feel that the feeling of her being a big sister to me has grown!
Her actions or performances aren't like an ordinary bandsman's, and it's like hearing her voice has become a habit.
A rock girl who fits being in the center!
Q87. What's an awkward compliment for TOMOMI?
A skillful girl who can do anything right away.
That's not a mistake, but I know it's hard to see that.
Every word that comes out of TOMOMI is fantastic, and it's fun being together with her.
Hats really suit her (laughs)!
When she puts her head down, her hair getting disheveled while playing bass, I'm always amazed when I see itー!
Q88. What's an awkward compliment for MAMI?
It's often said that she does things at her own pace and is candid.
She always worries about everyone, and is so niceー. I think that's awesome.
Ah, the speed of shaping her image is far off, and it's so much fun writing songs with her.
She's shy before we go out on stage, and the appearance of her carrying a guitar is too cool. It's amazing.
The best, craziest guitarist!
Q89. You must change the name of the band. Please give a new one.
Peach Club
Inside of the building of our practice studio, next to the "SCANDAL" store, there was one called "Peach Club." It was one of the contenders for our name. Going to the studio, there'd often be Peach Club business cards that had fallen in the middle of the stairs. I saw in the first three that there were handwritten comments. I thought it was awesome.
Q90. What do you think of SCANDAL if you look at the band objectively?
We dance a lot.
Q91. What do you think of yourself if you look at yourself in SCANDAL objectively?
Being a drummer fits meー.
Q92. "I can't lose to anyone here!" Please tell us what would it be.
Something that I'm passionate about.
Q93. Please tell us your most memorable happening while in SCANDAL.
America tour
I never want to forget the first time in my life I was called out for an encore.
Q94. Please tell us your personal, most memorable experience.
When I transferred from an Osaka high school to a Tokyo one. So many things happened～(laughs).
Q95. Please tell us the ambitions that SCANDAL wants to achieve.
A mini-album release of all the members' songs!!!
Q96. "That's exactly what we wanted to do this time!" Your burning desire is for what sort of song?
An upper laugh track
Q97. What exactly is 「BABY ACTION」?
From here, from now, we can do everything. We can become anything. Even though we're still BABIES...
Q98. What exactly is 「SCANDAL」? Please answer in a haiku.
We sing and we play - instruments, going crazy - and we also dance
Q99. What exactly is 「rock」? Please answer in a haiku.
I love this; playing - instruments, going crazy - it is really great
Q100. Lastly, which question do you think was the most useless?
The vegetable and animal one.

Jade deserves every thanks she has received, thanks for the great translations, I do know that there are people who are also working on them as well, just be patient for the others.
In raging day, in fearful night,
with strong hearts full, our souls ignite,

It's actually not possible to post all of the sets in one post, as it's way over the maximum amount of characters allowed. Trust me; if it was possible then I would have already done it/I did try to do the same thing myself (I wrote in my previous post: "I also compiled all of the members' Q&As but it's way too long to be posted into one post").

Bumping the thread! Finally working on (the rest of) MAMI's answers... (like a year later...) XD Stay tuned~
So many people have contributed significantly to this along the way, including thoseguiltyeyes, ganstream, Namieis#1 from the top of my head ... I just filled in the gaps (mainly the longer answers and explanations) and tidied up some answers lol
MAMI's Complete 100 Q&A
So many people have contributed significantly to this along the way, including thoseguiltyeyes, ganstream, Namieis#1 from the top of my head ... I just filled in the gaps (mainly the longer answers and explanations) and tidied up some answers lol
MAMI's Complete 100 Q&A
- Spoiler:
MAMI
birthday: 1990.5.21
home: Not prosperous part of Nagoya
My favorite place in the city is the electric lights known as ‘Romantic bridge’
blood type: AB
occupation: SCANDAL's guitar & vocals.
fab time: 5:55
During elementary school I was always 5th on the roll. (attendance list)
So I lined up my favorite number 3 times.
1.When you heard you were going to do 100 Q&A, what did you think?
How exciting!!
2.Imagine this. When you get up in the morning you say one word. What is it?
Peehー
「Peeh～」is my favourite phrase. For example, even though it’s a time when someone might say「Fuu～」…… how should I put it、I don’t want to sigh、it feels like I’m changing it into this word。When I was high school、I was really into drawing this crying face with a 「Peeh」attached to it but、I think that’s how this word was born（laughs）
3.Do you have a daily routine?
Cleaning the toilet.
4.Give yourself a catchphrase.
A fickle, free spirit.
5.Do you have a jinx (superstition)?
Drinking milk tea.
6.Do you believe in fate?
I do!
7.Who is your hero?
My mother.
8.Did you have any nicknames when you were a kid?
Ma-bou
9.Please explain fully, what is your ‘Charisma’?
Ambient charisma. When you enter a convenience store, there is a ‘Trilling’ sound, right? Today I went to Family Mart, but nothing happened. Why the bell doesn’t ring for only me is a real mystery. So, rather than an ambient charisma, it’s more of a presence-removal charisma (laughs).
10.What is your favourite season, and why?
Winter! For instance, in extreme circumstances, if the world was 100°C in summer and -100°C in winter, in the summer I couldn’t take off more clothes if I was naked, but in winter I could always put on an extra layer of clothing.
11.Is there an event you particularly like?
New Year’s Eve!
12.Self-analysis: What do you think you were in a previous life?
A cat. Later a scientist.
13.Self-analysis: Please indicate the percentage of your character strength.
60%
14.Self-analysis: Please indicate the percentage of your love strength.
30%
15.What do you think is your sales point (strong point)?
She’s motherly (by RINA).
16. What do you think is your charm point?
My hands ! My voice !
17. Please tell us your positive.
I don’t worry.
18. Please tell us your negative.
I pay 500 times more attention to people’s eyes than people themselves.
19. Who do you want to meet the most right now? And what would you do once you met the person?
My guardian spirit. I’d want to know my future. Eheh.
Recently I’ve been reading [the manga] ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’. At first I thought the art style was quite bad, but our manager told me ‘You should read it, it’s funny’. In the studio we recorded this album, ‘JoJo’ was prepared for me. When I started reading it I got really into it. Don’t you think Stands seem like guardian spirits? So, I started thinking about my own Stand. I named my Stand ‘Rainbow Battle’ because it’s a Stand of time and space; I wonder if it will tell me about my future.
20. Conversely, who do you not want to meet the most right now? Please tell us why.
There’s no-one in particular. No-one I can think of！
21. How would you spend a sleepless night? What would you do to make yourself fall asleep?
I'd do nothing. I'd lie face down and hope I'll fall asleep.
22. Please tell us an excuse you're likely to use for being late on mornings you can't wake up.
“I was sleeping. Please excuse me. I’m sorry. There’s no excuse. Excuse me. I’m sorry.” I’d apologise all day long.
23. Please expose a secret of yours that you've never told anyone until now.
I used to perform regularly at a live house.
I joined the light music club in high school but they told me, ‘We already have guitarists; we don’t need more. There’s no-one on drums, so play the drums for us’. In the 2nd year of high school I was invited to join my sempai’s band called ‘anpontanzu’ [Blockheads or Idiots]) and I became their drummer (laughs). The singer was a girl, guitar and bass were boys and the other guitarist was a girl. We played covers like Judy and Mary and Blue Hearts and original songs. It felt like a high school band, but we regularly went to a studio for rehearsals and regularly played live in clubs.
24. If you turned into a boy for just one day, what would you want to do?
Go into the men’s baths.
25. Right now, if you thought, "I want to shout out my love somewhere!", where would it be, and what would you shout out?
On the railway tracks, “I love you !”
26. If there was a time machine, where would you want to go: Past or future?
Past! Edo period or Heian period. I want to see a castle town (laughs). I love history, I like the Great Budhha and other Buddhist statues. Therefore, rather than the future, I would like to visit the past and enjoy the f of those times. If I could really go back, I’d like to wear a twelve-layer ceremonial kimono and meet Minamoto Yoritomo.
27. If you could give advice to yourself from 10 years ago, what would it be?
Please learn to read sheet music, okay? Okay? Okay? Okay?
28. Please think about this realistically. What would you say if you stepped on a thumbtack? What would be your reaction?
I'd say "Ouch !!" and walk around.
29. Please think about this realistically. What would you do if in Shibuya someone came up to you and said, "Yumiko!" while crying and clinging to you?
I’d comfort them saying “What’s happened?”. After that I’d say that I’m not Yumiko.
30. Please think about this realistically. If you received a love letter from a classmate that's kind of your type, where would you read it?
On the way home from school.
31. Even if we know, do you have an incurable habit?
Using the word ‘boku’ to refer to myself.
(‘boku’ is generally for males [or tomboyish girls]; it’s more usual for girls to use personal pronouns such as ‘watashi’, ‘atashi’, ‘uchi’ or their first name.)
32. What is the nicest thing someone has said to you?
You’re a kindhearted person（＾＾）
33. HARUNA is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
Small local government! For a worry-free present!
34. TOMOMI is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
Come along without a word! Japan will become more POP!
35. RINA is running for governor of Tokyo. Please make her a campaign speech.
I want Japan to ROCK. Have more self assertiveness!
36. If you wanted to make a friend laugh, what would you do?
I’d say ‘Laugh!’
37. You had an unpleasant fight with your friend...what kind of reconciliation strategy would you make?
First of all go and have fun ! Take them out !
38. When your mood is at its absolute worst...if something involuntarily clears up your mood...what would it be?
I recover if I can see a cute picture of a cat.
39. Please tell us what you'd do if a nanpa suddenly started following you.
Hmm… I don’t like nanpa ! But I wonder if they’ll have a cat ~ in that case like a traveller, I’d say no while smiling.
40. The moment you can't help but want to fall in love is when?
When I see high school students, in uniform, on a date, my chest gets really tight. At my high school, boys wore the gakuran, and girls wore blazers. But, 90% of the students were girls. If there were two boys in the class, it would feel like there were so many of them there. So, I couldn’t see boys as boys, and couples at school had that gakuran-blazer feeling, so I didn’t think about it. But for the students who wear the gakuran and the sailor uniform, or students who both wear blazers, those are the couples I look for. When I see them, I think, “I wonder if I could have tried that once?”
41. When something very good happens to you, if you had to shout out a name of a vegetable or animal, which would it be?
furofuki-daikon Husky!
42. If the prefectures in Japan merged into one, what would the prefecture name be?
邪馬台国 Yamataikoku – a country that existed within Japan. Was ruled by Queen Himiko in the 3rd Century (AD).
43. Please include the title of your must-see movie.
Hot Snack (next to the convenience store cash register)
In a world conference of hot dogs, they challenge a Japanese convenience store worker. He makes delicious hot dogs, he does amazing things, and is victorious … I guess. It’s a moving, human drama but it’s not yet complete, so please keep an eye out for it. (laughs)
44. Please include the title of your must-listen song.
Hanshoku kinoko - Breeding Mushrooms
I think incoherent songs where you don’t know what they are saying are good. Drums and bass playing an irregular rhythm, the guitar playing I don’t know what, but there is a really cool sounding riff. It’s a really violent song.
45. Please include the name of your must-see TV program.
All of Japan
46. Please include the name of the food item that you always ask for.
“The usual” ¥350
47. Suppose you started a ramen shop. What would it be called?
麺亭 men-tei [noodle place]
48. Please tell us what scene makes you involuntarily smile.
High-school pupils in uniform on a date, taking an evening walk along the bank of the river.
49. What kind of thing do you think is a luxury?
All-you-can-eat melon !
50. What would you try to do on your next holiday?
Spring clean my room ♪
51. You have collected all the Dragon Balls. What would you wish for?
World peace
52. Please tell us something personal that has made you happy recently.
That I was able to finish the tour safely [without incident] !
53. Please tell us something personal that has ticked you off recently.
Forgetting to charge my monthly PASMO . I panic each time there is a ticket inspection.
54. Please tell us a romantic story that you have experienced.
I was confessed to in the evening at the park when I was in Junior High School. It was the springtime of my youth.
When I was in Junior High School for some reason I liked the Yankee type (laughs). At that time I was in 1st year, but this amazing 3rd year Yankee senpai suddenly said to me ‘Hey, do you want to go out with me?’. Then he said, “You should be in the Ladies’ (laughs)
55. Please tell us a dramatic episode in your life.
Dramatic...!! None...
56. Lately, have you been interested in something that you weren't interested in before?
White rice.
At first it was bread. I felt like bread in the morning, bread for lunch and bread for dinner (laughs). I liked sweet bread, then cheesy bread, then through side-dish sandwiches*, I got interested in rice. Limited to white rice at that. I don’t like rice with toppings. If there are toppings, I’ll only eat the toppings. I particularly like curry roux (sauce) and rice, but I don’t like bibimbap, which you have to mix. I hate mixing rice with side dishes.
(* Heavier sandwiches filled with side dishes, including things like potato, curry, sausages etc)
57. Please tell us what your room is like.
Hmm, it's a 6-mat (18m2) 1K* stuffed with stuff. *1K means 1 room and a kitchen
58. Please brag about something valued by you.
I can use Stands. It’s up to you to believe it or not, but during recording it felt as if black smoke was coming out from me (laughs). I think I was probably being attacked by another Stand, but like the convenience store doorbell not ringing, I think it was because of my Stand ‘Rainbow Battle’. [Another JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure reference.]
59. Please tell us a failure story.
Once when doing the encore to a live show, I slipped and fell while going down the stairs ! I was trying to be a Ninja !
60. Please introduce a peculiar, valued person close to you.
One of my high school friends is particularly indecent. I can’t even explain how indecent they are. She’s as pretty as a French doll but she’s a weirdo. Indecent. HIWAI. (which means ‘indecent’ or ‘lewd’)
61. Dare - Please select a person. You can be with the person you like; which member would you consult with?
TOMOMI
62. Dare - Please select a person. Please tell us a member's back episode.
At recordings and rehearsals RINA plays the drums with strange dumpling head (sticks)
63. Dare - Please select a person. Please tell us which member has "changed," so to speak.
Something seems to have stuck onto TOMOMI’s knee, it often moves back and forth. I don’t know what it is …
64. Say you find a boy of a member's liking around town. Whose type would you have confidence in finding?
TOMOMI
65. What would you say if you were to confess to the person you like?
I love you. Let’s get married.
66. What would you want the person you like to say to you?
Well, while thinking what to call out, they would hug me tightly and say “This is how I love you” !
67. What do you think is the difference between passion and love?
Emotions! Love is sincere. Passion has ulterior motives.
68. Please tell us your ideal first date.
Since I don’t really like going out, we’d go straight home !
69. Say you had a lover. What kind of situation would you feel the most jealous in?
All of them! I wouldn’t like him talking to girls or e-mailing them or saying their name!
70. If SCANDAL were to go on a Gokon (speed date/mixer), which member do you think would be the most popular?
TOMOMI
71. Please picture each member's role and situation at that mixer.
HARUNA is obedient but refuses men that show up. In charge of ordering drinks.
TOMOMI talks loudly to everyone. A lot of body touching. Mood maker
RINA takes care of everyone. Motherly.
72. 「Current lover」「Best Friend」「Unforgettable First Love」, if you could put the members into these categories, who would be what?
Current Lover: RINA;
Best friend: HARUNA,
Unforgettable First Love: TOMOMI
73. If you were to go solo… what would be the title of your solo debut?
‘Shortcake Romance☆’
For the song ‘Shortcake Romance☆’, I’d play guitar and sing live in the street, but actually I’d be singing a really emo song. There would be that gap. I’d open my guitar case and wait for people walking by to stop!
74. What image do you think it would have?
Playing guitar and singing live in the street is central.
75. If you were to appear in a movie, what kind of role would you want to do?
Partner of the leading role.
76. If you had been born a foreigner, what name would you like?
Artemis
77. A big-shot senior calls your name wrong...what would you do?
I'd leave it as it is.
78. Please tell us one instance of a bittersweet episode where you "laughed it off" that you have experienced thus far.
When my older brother said ‘Who ate the ice-cream I was saving for later?’ I laughed it off.
79. Please be honest. Right now you want to say one word to someone. To whom and what would you say?
To my mother. Thanks for everything.
80. What do you think is the difference between children and adults?
Mental age
81. Please tell us your favourite colour.
White, black, Blue, multicoloured things
82. Please tell us your least favourite colour.
I don’t have a particular colour that I don’t like. But I think vivid colours don’t suit me! Fluoro colours are too much.
83. Suppose a small boy shouted, "It's SCANDAL!" and touched your butt. What would your reaction be?
mumumu!
84. Suppose you farted accidentally during a live broadcast. What would your reaction be?
At that moment, I would pretend nothing happened. It wasn’t me. It was me.
85. Suppose five minutes before going on stage, your spirits are really low. What would you do to get yourself excited?
I’d say “Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!” to myself.
86. What’s an awkward compliment for HARUNA?
Cute! Slender! Proud! She’s got a good personality! She’s got a nice voice too! There are so many things I respect about her! Only HARUNA can be the centre of SCANDAL! So cool! She’s the best!
87. What's an awkward compliment for TOMOMI?
Why are you so cute? You’re so girly, everything suits you, and looks stylish! I like TOMO’s fashion sense! Your smile is so friendly. I love joking around with you.
88. What's an awkward compliment for RINA?
Your innocence is unbearably cute! It’s not fair you can be both mature and childish! I’m jealous you have such fair skin and beautiful, big eyes
89. You have to change the band name. Give me a new one…
AnpontanZU [Q23]
90. What do you think of SCANDAL if you look at the band objectively?
They’re young, but they try really hard, don’t you think― (laughs)
91. What do you think of yourself, if you look at yourself objectively?
I need to keep working hard, at a lot of things. (laughs)
92. "I can't lose to anyone at ___!" Please tell us what would it be.
Reading the atmosphere.
93. Please tell us what you have done with SCANDAL that has left you with the greatest impression.
Our very first live-house live. It was my most nerve-wracking experience.
94. Please tell us your personal, most memorable experience.
When I was in school, on the night when I suddenly got a phone call and they told me, “You should play guitar!”
95. Please tell us the ambitions that SCANDAL wants to achieve.
Osaka-Jou Ha―――――――――――lllllllllll
96. This time it's "What you want to make!" A song that fires up your ambitions is what kind of song?
A song where all of our parts are simple to play, but it sounds really cool. (Laughs)
97. What exactly is ‘BABY ACTION’?
The most that we can do right now.
98. What exactly is 「SCANDAL」? Please answer in a haiku.
Girls – holding instruments – SCANDAL
99. What exactly is 「rock」? Please answer in a haiku.
The way you want to – gucha gucha necho necho– bakki baki
With rock, isn’t everything okay? It’s fine if you run into complaints; because there are no laws, you can break as many rules as you want. I think songs that can unwind our daily conflicts are cool. There’s no clean slate, so I want to do things softly (necho). *Note: gucha gucha describes something that is messy or sloppy.
100. Lastly, which question do you think was the most useless of all?
I think all the questions were great! Ehehe.

So that means she's enrolled at Caless in the early 2000s?thoseguiltyeyes wrote:HARUNA's complete 100 Q&A!
Q19. Who do you want to meet the most right now? What would you do once you met them?
My old self. Regain my sparkling!
I want to meet my 6th grade 12-year-old self. I aimed at this world in earnest just 10 years ago when I was 12. I had admired Amuro Namie-san since I was in kindergarten, and when I was 12 I remember in a fashion magazine seeing a notice about an audition for a school. I put in a submission, which then became the chance to form SCANDAL. "I'm really going to become a singer!" At that time, I honestly believed that and didn't doubt it. I'd want to meet the me who didn't think entirely about superfluous things.
最高の夜にしようね！！
