I will be posting translations of RINA's book 「one piece」. The book is split up into five chapters with two special interviews. I will be posting each section in order.
Also, because we do not allow scans of official releases to be posted on SH, I will not be posting any pictures that are exclusive to the book. However, because many pictures in the book come from RINA's actual blog entries, I will be posting those and only those.
Here's the intro and the first chapter.

Here's the intro and the first chapter.
Thank you very much to everyone who has picked up a copy of "one piece."
This time, words in my blog entries that caught the writer's eye were picked up and published.
The pictures consist of those from the blogs at the time as well as ones I've ventured to put in. The others that are mixed in are photos I took for this book.
Because this has been a long time coming, I wanted to show a different side of me from the band. All of the pictures were taken with me in casual clothes. I learned about situations, lighting, hair, and makeup. The pictures were shot in Osaka.
The interviews are full of things I've talked about for the first time. This is my "you can only find this here" for you who've gotten this book. It's a volume jam packed with 22 years worth of things since I was born until today, as well as 8 years worth of things since the band began until today. Please enjoy.
from RINA
CHAPTER 01: LIVE
Voices calling your name, eyes shining,
Sweat glistening, sounds strumming. 100% stimulation.

- RINA has written on her blog about GIGS:
When we return to Osaka
We receive energy from the city and the people.
I truly love it.
Standing on this stage tonight,
I became confident that this will forever be a sacred placeー.
2014-06-23 「360° at Osaka-Jo Hall 」
Make us believe 『I'm glad I like these people.』
I too have supported SCANDAL immensely since I was 15 to 21.
2013-03-03 「The day before it comes true」
I was dreaming while awake.
2012-03-29 「SCANDAL & Budokan」
Although we haven't begun rehearsals yet, it's been a while since scenery has come into sight like this in my head.
A tense feeling like one where you want to run away,
Mistakes made until now,
Things that have come around until today
It almost seems like everything has been for this.
That's a silly train of thought on a slightly large scale.
2012-02-15 「An eternal future」
Never once have we performed with a feeling of spreading our influence to someone.
It's simply
Enjoyable.
It's simply
That we want to be immersed in a special feeling
Together with everyone in front of us.
It's simply
That we believe in our senses and what we create
That have come around earnestly.
That is
Someone's happiness and my strength
When you experience what's being changed by tomorrow's influence,
Your heart tightens up.
2012-03-04 「The feeling of sound」
This was not the place that we aimed for,
The surprisingly small Budokan,
But we cannot stop in a place like this.
2012-03-29 「SCANDAL & Budokan」
Losing composure on stage for the first time in a while at a live house one day.
Everyone awakened me.
Something was cleared away, and I was taken aback.
2012-06-02 「Zepp Nagoya」
If there are people who still haven't seen us live,
I want you to come and see us at least once.
Then, I think you'll want to come again.
2012-07-28 「HIGHER GROUND 2012～FINAL～」
Though you know what to do, things just don't go well.
It's the same for me too. I'm stopping those kinds of things now.
There are nights where, in contrast to feelings, tears precede.
I didn't know how I could escape from there.
I still don't know the correct answer even now.
But,
Lives always give me a hint.
That is
Us standing on stage,
And everyone who came to experience that too.
They're definitely coming for that.
2012-08-15 「Catching hold of a hint」
This really is enjoyable for me.
If this band were to be taken from me
I feel that it would be the same as losing my breathー.
This is all that I have.
As long as it seems like this,
I don't think SCANDAL's story will be interrupted.
2012-10-22 「Fourth anniversary」
The people who were thinking,
「We want more!」
Were thinking of me who was also thinking, 「We want more!」
What's probably most precious to me,
Is thatー.
2012-11-16 「ZEPP SAPPORO」
We're checking our live outfits. The first round.
We're particular about them this time too.
We want to make something that'll be conveyed to everyone in the back and front.
It's looking like they'll turn out ideally♩
2013-02-21 「Check」
One more week left until our one-man live at Osaka-Jo Hall.
Today we persisted from the beginning until the end.
Every song is how it should be here,
Like it has been for many years.
It's a repetition of exchanging words and trying out by actions.
We can only go over and over our image.
2013-02-24 「Prediction」
We're going to challenge ourselves with all kinds of things from here on.
We always want to continue standing on stage
With brand new feelings.
Best regards starting from tomorrow!
2013-03-04 「Osaka-Jo Hall」
It's good because you can get used to a happy feeling with close friends who gathered only due to your favorite bands being the same.
I like it because you can experience live music up close.
「Becoming one」 in our hearts,
We'll definitely make it a good live.
2013-06-19 「Knowledge」
Although you may not have much power,
You want to do all that you can,
And you strongly believe that you'll stand at the head and pull yourself there.
Because you guys come see us, who are always being too free at a high speed,
We can jump into all kinds of things and places without fear.
Let's do a Band Yarou! together!
2013-07-20 「Band Yarou Yo
Vol.4」
A record of this day is like proof/an amulet to me,
And it's similar to the meaning of holding something like that.
Those who were at the venue on that day,
Those thinking about us,
And those who just recently learned about us, check it out!
A "first time" only happens once.
2013-07-23 「Wonderful tonight」
Writing blogs about each venue isn't the same as a live
I know how much everyone is looking forward to them
I also don't want to forget the live that day as much as possible
2013-11-24 「Mishima Civic Cultural Hall」
Lives are festivals
Everything you don't like melts into the short night
It's an awesome power spot
2013-12-04 「International Forum Hall A」
Please bring along all kinds of feelings.
Right now I am living for this day
I want as many people as possible to see this.
I invite you over and over again because there are things that I want to tell you in earnest
We're not playing lives for the sake of recording them or for publicity
2014-06-06 「Dear」
I feel that something will change
If the arena performances are all hits
2014-06-07 「Thank you」
It won't happen again if you miss out on
「FESTIVAL」 at Yokohama Arena tomorrow and the day after
︎
It's fine to line up early in the morning for goods.
Please come filled up with energy at an appropriate time︎
Well then, we'll do our best
︎
2014-06-27 「Tomorrow,」
I'm full of 「Thank you!」's.
I hope each night will remain in your hearts,,
2014-06-29 「FESTIVAL at Yokohama Arena DAY2」
