『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt』 - Season 2, Episode 91

•The episode starts with this.

•The second Power Word for HARU comes from Season 2, Episode 76, around the 10:13 mark. The audio that plays is from when HARU is talking about salt bread she had in Seongsu when she vacationed in South Korea. To recap: Ohno says that he doesn't know what salt bread is, and apparently none of the other staffers know about it either. HARU is surprised and says that salt bread is a fad right now. Ohno says that he knows that much at least. HARU says that the salt bread from Jayeondo is pretty popular. Ohno asks if she has any photos. HARU says that she has a photo of the exterior. Ohno laughs and asks why. She says that it's a stylish place that faces the street. Ohno asks what the bread tastes like. She says that the sweetness of the butter and the saltiness of the salt are just right, and it basically disappears as soon as you start eating it. You take a bite of it, say it's delicious, and before you know it it's gone. Ohno laughs and says that he doesn't understand from that. She repeats the "Delicious!!" part again. Ohno asks if it's the size of a butter rool. HARU says it's a little bit bigger, and repeats once more that she just took a bite of it, and while saying how good it was, it was all gone. TOMO talks over the audio and laughs while saying, "How many times are you going to say that?" The band laughs and mentions how the audio was distorted when HARU was saying "Delicious!!" Ohno says that HARU kept saying that instead of explaining what it was. At the end, the Power Word audio plays again and TOMO laughs and wonders if the clip was from the second time HARU had said that. HARU says that it's not that kind of quiz, which makes them laugh. HARU says she wants to get better at doing food reports. TOMO agrees and says that she didn't do any kind of report and just said it was delicious. MAMI laughs and says that you can't do a report on food after it's all gone.

•The next two Power Words are from TOMO. The first one is from Season 2, Episode 49, around the 12:25 mark. To recap: TOMO says that she's rather unsure of her sense of distance. She bumps into people and doesn't notice when she drops things. Her iPhone flies off so often that she wonders sometimes if it's actually alive. She doesn't know why this is and says there's something wrong with her hands, and that her senses are dull. HARU says that she kind of gets that. RINA says that she's amazing when it comes to the playing the bass, though. TOMO goes, "Am I even playing the bass?" They all laugh hard. HARU says she must be a prodigy. MAMI says that she seems to be okay when she drives and doesn't come close to bumping into anything. TOMO says that she does when she rides a bike, though. MAMI says that she once had to hold her hand while walking to keep her going straight. After the audio plays, RINA and HARU say that they remember this. TOMO says that she's still like that. RINA asks if she doesn't know if she's actually playing the bass, to which TOMO says yes to. The band laughs. TOMO says that she has no sense of her surroundings about 50 cm/20 inches from her. RINA laughs and says that that's the area where you should have the most sense, normally. TOMO says she just doesn't notice anything, and that earlier she even spilled hot water. HARU confirms that this happened. TOMO says it's kind of scary and that she feels like something's wrong. RINA says that despite all that, she's managed to survive this far. HARU agrees. TOMO goes, "Am I really alive, though?" RINA says she's fine. MAMI says that the fans should come to a show and check to see if she's playing the bass or not.

•The second Power Word for TOMO comes from Season 2, Episode 54 around the 4:57 mark. To recap: The next jellyfish fact TOMO reads is that they're 95% or more water. They say they get that, and that they are like jelly. TOMO then reads that they don't seem to have a cerebral cardiovascular system. TOMO wonders what that means, and if they are considered a living thing. MAMI wonders what the definition is of a living thing. TOMO wonders if it means that something has a life force, and what is life if there's no heart? She goes, "Is this now a philosophical discussion?" The others chuckle. TOMO then wonders how they're able to move. Ohno says they move using nerves alone. MAMI wonders how that works without a brain, and then reads a fact that says that instead of blood vessels, jellyfish have "water vessels" that carry nutrients throughout their bodies. TOMO says that they do sound like they're closer to plants, and that plants are living things. They then all laugh at this. After the audio plays, TOMO laughs and says it seems like Ohno had gotten mad at her for saying that plants are living things. RINA says that that side of Ohno comes out sometimes. HARU says that fans seem to like that side of him. They laugh. TOMO says that when listening to "Catch up" like this again, you do find that episodes that are actually educational sometimes. You remember the info you learn at the time but will forget it a year later. They laugh at this.

•They then close out the episode. HARU says that they'll read MAMI's and RINA's Power Words in the next episode. She says that there are some Power Word moments mentioned that they remember and some that they don't. They say they're looking forward to next week's, but are also a bit scared at the same time since it's kind of embarrassing to listen to stuff that you've said in the past.

#front-page #catchup

Do you know what you like about the band members? Continuing the "Power Word Awards" from last week!

Season 2, Episode 92 blog

---

HARUNA: First of all, thank you to everyone who came to "BEST Xmas 2024" on December 24th!

All: Thank you very much!

HARUNA: We'll share our thoughts about it later! Now, it's time for our annual segment. We'll look back on 2024. "SCANDAL Catch up Power Word Awards 2024!"

All: Yepー

HARUNA: In this segment, we pick out "Power Words" from the 2024 episodes, including things that members said that really resonated or made an impact. This marks the fourth time we're doing this since 2021. Last week, we presented the awards for HARUNA and TOMOMI. Today, we'll announce the Power Words for MAMI and RINA.

MAMI: It's okay to wrap things up with this for the year??

HARUNA: That's right.

MAMI: Eh, is it okay?

HARUNA: The new year's already here.

MAMI: On the contrary, is it okay?

HARUNA: Let's close with this. It all depends on the past us.

RINA: That's true.

MAMI: ...I'm counting on us.

HARUNA: So let's get started and introduce the "Power Word Awards 2024!"
Power Word Awards, RINA Division - From Season 2, Episode 49!

RINA's Power Words in response to a message from a listener who doesn't like themselves - 19 minutes 23 seconds

RINA: I wonder if I can listen to this...

RINA: I really thought, "Please don't say that..."


(*Back in the studio) RINA: I started crying all of a sudden...!


RINA: She's such a good person. Messages like these, they're really sensitive, and it's so hard to choose the right words or to even know how to express them. I thought that while I was sharing it, but I'm glad I kept going. I felt really happy that I didn't stop. And, she's the same age as me, so she's at that age where life is changing a lot. She's probably at a time when she's struggling and dealing with a lot of things on her own. But to be able to show that kind of love to yourself, that's so cool and important. And I hope that she'll give herself that love. I really felt that. She's such a cute girl with that mentality. I've never met her, so I don't know what she looks like or her style, but I think she's really cute and cool. No matter what body type she has, I truly think she's cute. As I've gotten older, I've really come to believe that. Of course, there's beauty in delicate, slender figures, and there are clothes that suit that style, but living a life where you love yourself, that's the most cool and beautiful thing there is. I'm so happy that our messages and music have reached people like her. Thank you so much to her.

MAMI: Thank you, indeed.

RINA: I remember this very well...

HARUNA: That was quite an episode.

RINA: I'm sorry it started with me crying suddenly... As I was speaking, my heart was filled with emotion, and I felt that it must have been difficult for Kawai-chan to edit it, so I couldn't say much more... But yeah, I still think there are so many reasons in the world that make it hard to love yourself. There's so much pressure to be something else or to look a certain way, and that makes things tough sometimes. I feel that way too. But the things I talked about that day, I still feel the same way. I'm really glad we have this episode. I'm happy it got picked for the awards.

HARUNA: They're simple but really impactful Power Words.

RINA: I see; it's simple, but I'm glad it resonated.

MAMI: They're the most proper Power Words we've ever had, aren't they??

Your years of hard work are greatly appreciated. So many of us would be out of the loop if not for you! Thank you so much!

【Translated Summary】
『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt』 - Season 2, Episode 92

•The episode starts with this.

•The second Power Word for RINA comes from Season 2, Episode 81, around the 16:31 mark. To recap: The listener confessed to a woman they recently met but got rejected. They were talking about how the listener would buy her a souvenir from their favorite band's concert in Tokyo. When they called her, she said she would accept it. They thought, since they're bringing a souvenir, they could also grab a meal, and they wanted to see her again. However, she ignored them this time. RINA wonders if the woman just wanted the souvenir. The band says that they remember this. RINA wonders what happened after this, and laughs that if there's a sequel to this story, she'd like to hear it.

•The next two Power Words are from MAMI. The first one is from Season 2, Episode 40, around the 19:35 mark. To recap: The band is reading their 2024 resolutions, with MAMI up next. Hers are to stop sleeping on the floor, start playing a game, stop eating while doing something. She says she started 2023 from sleeping on the floor, but has been trying to reduce her time sleeping on the floor by doing these three steps: She starts off from sleeping on the floor and then realizes she shouldn't be doing that, so then she sleeps on the couch but realizes she also shouldn't be doing that, so then she goes and sleeps in her bed. So in 2024, she's going to stop sleeping on the floor and start off from sleeping on the couch. The others laugh and RINA goes, "Not the bed, huh?"

•MAMI then talks about her third resolution, which is to stop eating while doing something. She says that after she wakes up and brushes her teeth, washes her face, does her skincare routine, does her hair/makeup, she always starts eating breakfast at the same time. The others are really surprised at this. RINA asks if this means she doesn't sit down while eating. MAMI says that she basically only stands up while eating. TOMO asks if she eats while she still has stuff like skincare cream on her hands. MAMI says that she does eat with chopsticks, though. TOMO asks if she'll keep doing that, having stuff like cream on her hands while continuing to eat. MAMI says yes. TOMO says that sounds like a hassle. HARU agrees. MAMI says that she feels the time spent on eating is wasted in the morning. The others chuckle and HARU says she does understand that. MAMI then says that she'll often eat straight from something like the rice cooker or a pot. This also surprises the others. MAMI also mentions that she'll stand while eating from these as well. They laugh and RINA goes, "Isn't that really hot?" TOMO and RINA ask if she eats the food with a scoop/ladle. MAMI says there are times she does that. The others laugh. RINA points out that she does this in spite of being bad with hot foods. MAMI says that she blows on it while eating, and that her tongue is currently really burnt. They laugh hard at this and HARU says she should definitely stop doing that. TOMO says it would definitely be more efficient if she took the time to eat normally. MAMI says that she doesn't have time to, since there's no time in the hour she has between getting up and getting out of the house, and trying to also get ready in that same time frame. HARU says that sounds like a pain, and that she's also skilled. MAMI says that she doesn't sit down while eating. RINA says that that's definitely something you can only do if you live alone. TOMO says you could only live with other people who think the same. MAMI reiterates that she wants to stop eating while doing something, and says that it feels like she hasn't eaten when she does that. The others laugh hard at this. RINA says this is all so amusing. MAMI says she doesn't feel like she's eaten but has eaten everything on her plate (or pot? lol).

•Back in the studio, the band laughs. RINA asks MAMI if she still does those things. MAMI says yes, but she thinks she's doing it less. However, she did do one of those things this morning. RINA asks if she ate from the rice cooker. MAMI says no, and that she was putting on makeup while eating. HARU says that's actually impressive. RINA says she guesses it's become like a habit or routine. MAMI says she wants to eat something but also wants to put on makeup, so she ends up doing both at the same time; everything's simultaneous. They all laugh. MAMI mentions how she'd be boiling soba noodles and pulling out a few strands from the pot to taste them to see if they were the right texture. RINA asks if she used dipping sauce. MAMI says yes, and as she was doing this, she realized that she actually shouldn't be doing this. She then says how she tends to eat everything as she's tasting it. HARU says that you have to try not to eat it. TOMO says that MAMI sounds impatient. MAMI says that she wants to get as much sleep as possible. HARU says that that is the most important thing. MAMI says that she pretty much does everything simultaneously. TOMO says that setting goals doesn't seem meaningful anymore. The band laughs. MAMI says that she did sleep on the floor much less in 2024. RINA and TOMO say that that's good. TOMO says that they're definitely going to be asked about their 2025 resolutions soon. HARU says that they'll decide in a few days. TOMO says that she always struggles with coming up with some, and maybe they don't need to do one this time. They all laugh. MAMI says that now that her past resolutions were heard, she asks if the others remember what they said. RINA and TOMO don't remember theirs. HARU starts to say hers, and RINA says that HARU did say she was going to save money. TOMO asks how that's going. HARU says that she's done better than last year. TOMO says that that means it was meaningful, then.

•The second Power Word for MAMI comes from Season 2, Episode 61, around the 3:59 mark. To recap: They're talking about the fine line between routine and stability. RINA says, "It's the degree of excitement. You want to change the way you perceive things, and the heart you have when you face them. When you feel like you're in a routine and you're tired of repeating the same thing over and over, try to come up with new ideas. If you look at it from a broader perspective, we've really been doing the same thing since we were kids. Just writing songs and performing live. Within that, we're expressing new feelings. I think it's all about your own state of mind." MAMI says, "When I'm writing songs, I always feel like I'm playing octaves for guitar solos and such. I wonder if I can do something different, but I can't, so I just send them to everyone, thinking, 'Oh well...' or 'Pfft.'" Almost the entire clip is of RINA speaking with MAMI only speaking for about a minute, which makes them laugh. RINA laughs and apologizes. MAMI says, "I feel like if I think too much, I'll waste time. So, if everyone thinks it's fine, then that's good enough. If everyone thinks it's different, then I'll just make adjustments. It's just a matter of fixing it." RINA says that it's important to have someone listen to it at least once. MAMI agrees and says that you can get lost when thinking on your own. She then sniffs and says sorry that her nose is running a bit. They all laugh. Ohno seems to ask what the "Pfft" is referring to. MAMI says that it's when she taps the send button on her phone.

•HARU says that she thinks this when they do this every year, that you can really tell what the listeners like about each of the band members. You can tell what aspects they find appealing from just a brief comment. RINA says that although the types of comments are different, they all have the same kind of power. MAMI says that you can understand the band better through these Power Word episodes. HARU adds that you can understand their personalities. MAMI then says that the listeners will now be searching for Power Words again starting from the next episode, which is kind of scary. HARU says that they say this every year, that they should be aware of what they say and think, but they never remember to do so.

•They then close out the episode. As this is the last episode of 2024, they thank everyone for tuning in. HARU says they did a lot of different segments; as well as a live, late-night broadcast; and public recordings--it was quite a dense year.

Talking about new single "Terra Boy" out digitally on 1/1!

Season 2, Episode 93 blog

---

HARUNA: Happy New Year, everyone! It's now 2025. Thank you for your continued support this year. Since it's 2025, that means "SCANDAL Catch up" will also celebrate its 5th anniversary in March and enter its 6th year...

All: Amazing!

RINA: We're really grateful that we've been able to continue for so long.

HARUNA: Let's keep updating this long-running program.

RINA: Yeah, really.

(*Note from the staff: Of the many streaming programs on AuDee, "Catch up" is the longest-running one)

HARUNA: For the first "Catch up" episode of the new year, we'll be talking about "Terra Boy," the first release in our three-month consecutive release series, which was announced at our concert "BEST Xmas" on December 24th last year. Since it was released on January 1, I'm sure many of you have already listened to it.

(*Staff request: Please listen to SCANDAL's new song "Terra Boy" released on January 1st!)

HARUNA: It's really great when you listen to it with headphones.

RINA: It really lifts your spirits. But it's been a year since then.

HARUNA: Yeah, it's been a whole year.

RINA: We've been planning this release project since December 2023, and we've spent the year creating it. It was designed with the image of moving forward with a bright and exciting atmosphere as we head towards our 20th anniversary year. I think we've really achieved that with this start, and it feels amazing.

TOMOMI: We've been reflecting on ourselves and working on music for a long time, so we were curious to see how the people we worked with back in our early days, like Hidenori Tanaka and Keita Kawaguchi, thought about us now that we're approaching our 20th anniversary. Since the song came out the way it did...

RINA: Yeah.

TOMOMI: It made me think that we might actually be sparkling.

RINA: Before we started production, we met with the songwriting team and talked for hours about our story so far. We talked about how we were impacted by the pandemic, and when we write our own songs, the music tends to get pretty serious and intense. That's fine, but we wanted to step away from that and, honestly, just enjoy the simplicity of playing instruments and making music. We wanted to go back to feeling like we're in a band. We broadly shared that idea. Hide-san really understood us, and he said he was happy to see us be able to create everything on our own now. He had thought we wouldn't be able to work together anymore because of that. That conversation really made us think, and it gave us fresh inspiration. I'm really glad we asked to work together again.

【Translated Summary】
『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt』 - Season 2, Episode 93

•The episode starts with this.

•I will write out full translations for what's being said.

TOMO: Hide-san (Hidenori Tanaka) gave us a lot of bright and tear-jerking songs like "Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku STORY," "Hello!Hello!", and "Yoake no Ryuuseigun" back in our early days. I think that "Terra Boy" is a bright, tear-jerking, sparkling song that he gave to us as adults, which is kind of profound.

HARU: It made me want to remember the initial drive we had we started the band. We talked about how important those feelings are. So for the recording of TB, we tried to capture that same fun feeling from the days when we did dual vocals and had all four voices in the mix. It was really fun.

RINA: It was. We took the whole month of January off in 2024, and during that time [Hide-san] concentrated on making songs. Right on February 1st, he sent us 5 demo tracks. I was really impressed with the speed, enthusiasm, and nostalgia of the demos when I heard them. They were really great.

T: Each song's explanation also really hit me emotionally. The other songs were also great.

H: But "Terra Boy" was an immediate decision, right?

R: Was that the first song?

H: I think so.

R: He put it at the beginning, and as soon as we heard it, we knew we had to do it.

T: Hide-san also really liked it. He said the odd time signature at the start was an invention of his--something new.

R: He did. The lyrics are full of playful, unique words we couldn't have come up with ourselves. We had gotten too close to our own songs, so when we stepped back, it helped to find a fun balance and play with it. That distance was really necessary at this time, and it was something I realized after making the song.

H: He really does have a way with words. It's amazing.

T: Also, he wasn't supposed to come during instrument recordings, but he dropped by after we ate. That made me happy, too.

R: It was really nice.

H: It was a tag team of Hidenori Tanaka for lyrics + music, and Keita Kawaguchi for arrangement.

T: Yeah, really nostalgic.

R: Kawaguchi-san also seemed to be having a lot of fun. He would incorporate ideas that came up on the spot and play around with them. Kawaguchi-san and Hide-san are good friends, so the vibe between them was really great.

H: I really want people to listen closely to the piano Kawaguchi-san added to the second verse.

R: It wasn't originally in the arrangement, but when we tried adding the piano on the spot, it sounded so cool, so we went with it.

T: That performance should have been filmed for sure.

R: Right? I wish we could have shown it to everyone.

H: It was pretty exciting.

T: The recording was a piece of cake.

R: It really was. I was happy everyone was having fun working on our song.

H: In a good way, everyone didn't take on too much responsibility, including us, and that lighter feeling really helped.

T: That's exactly what we were looking for this time.

R: I think it's really important to have that approach when you're in a band.

H: It really felt like SCANDAL. We're a band that can do anything. We don't have to feel obligated to make all our songs ourselves.

R: We've been freed from that mentality. Back in the day, we couldn't do it all on our own, so we had to rely on support to be recognized as musicians. But now, everyone has worked hard to be able to write both lyrics and music. Now, it's more about figuring out who we want to collaborate with and how to create the most interesting music. It's a new challenge, and while it feels similar to the past, it's actually very different. And that's been really great. I think it's because SCANDAL, as a band, has truly reached a point of completion that we're able to do this.

T: There are song album-only songs we made with our friends, like "Plum," which EOW wrote; and "Anata e," which Rhythmic Toy World wrote. We had the confidence back then that we could get ideas from people other than the band members and perform them, and still make it work as SCANDAL. So we weren't scared to work with the people who helped us out in those early days--rather, we felt like this is what we ought to be doing right now. It made me feel like our 20th anniversary year is just around the corner. I feel like we've really established ourselves, as a band, and found our own identity.

R: Our 20th anniversary year is about to begin.

H: It's coming up soon.

R: I can't wait.

H: These feelings will continue with the release of "Doukashiterutte" (どうかしてるって; There's Something Wrong) on February 1st, and "Soundly" on March 1st. After these digital releases, we will be releasing the EP LOVE, SPARK, JOY! on March 5th. We decided ahead of time to do three consecutive months of releases, and the idea for this EP led into the digital releases. The title LOVE, SPARK, JOY! is made up of three simple words, and as mentioned earlier, it's really about our wish to enjoy music from the heart.

T: We used a lot of fun, bright, uplifting words.

R: We decided on "LOVE" at the start, and then we decided to add "JOY" as a simple word. The challenge was figuring out what the middle word should be.

T: We threw out a lot of options, but in the end, we thought "SPARK" felt the most dazzling.

R: I'm glad we went with it.

T: I like the visual of the logo as well.

R: It's adorable.

T: It really has that LOVE, SPARK, JOY! vibe. We'll be going on tour for it, and the merch is also LOVE, SPARK, JOY! themed. Please look forward to it. Oh, are the designs already out? No? Yeah, of course they're not out yet.

H: The logo is already out, though.

T: I hope you look forward to it all, including the merch.

R: This title really sparked so many creative ideas for us.

H: The LOVE, SPARK, JOY! tour will start on March 7th in Nagoya. We'll be touring the whole country through March and April, so it'll be pretty fast-paced.

R: It's like a month of back-to-back shows, right? The schedule's pretty packed.

T: Yeah, there's a fair number of performances.

R: I think it's 14 performances in Japan. And then we'll be adding international shows.

H: We're still finalizing the details, so we can't announce them yet, but we're going to give it our all this year as well.

R: It'll be another long journey.

T: Let's talk about the different ticket options now.

(*Note: Please check out the official international account's IG post about it for more details!)

H: This time we're doing something quite challenging for us. This is our first time touring around the country while playing at a mix of venues, such as live music clubs and halls, depending on the location.

R: The size and capacity of live music clubs vary a lot, right? From venues that can hold thousands of people to much smaller ones that might only hold around 500. The way we experience concerts also changes depending on the venue size. We've noticed it ourselves, too. For example, when we go to a show at 350-persony capacity venue, we wonder if we'll be okay standing for two hours. Sometimes it gets a little tiring or you feel a bit nervous. Then, our promoter, who's been working with us for a long time, came up with an idea. For the clubs, we could separate the front and back sections, and think about arranging chairs for designated seating, like a seating plan.

H: Reserved seats in the back.

R: We talked about trying something like that, and we thought it was a great idea. We decided to divide the ticket types to create an environment where people can feel at ease and come to our concerts more easily. I don't know if any other bands do this, but we thought we'd give it a try. It's definitely a new approach.

T: Since we're approaching our 20th anniversary, there have been fans who've followed us through different stages of their lives, some of them even growing older with us. Some have had children and now come to our concerts with their kids. And, of course, as people get older, some prefer having seats for a more comfortable view. On the other hand, there are those who want to be at the front and really have some fun. So, we wanted to offer a way for everyone to enjoy themselves by giving them the option to choose what suits them best. We're trying something new, but we don't really know how it'll turn out. Some might think it's great, while others might find it a bit tricky. But by trying it out, we hope to improve things where necessary and ensure that as many people as possible can have fun and enjoy the concert in a way that's comfortable for them.

R: We're also looking forward to that.

H: There is a seating map we've posted that shows how the venues are arranged, so please check them out for more details. In some venues, there will be standing space in the front and designated seating in the back. The back section will have chairs, but that doesn't mean you have to sit the whole time. It's more like securing your space where you can stand and enjoy the show. If you get tired, you can sit down. It's designed for everyone to enjoy the concert freely.

R: The map with the layout is really easy to understand, so I think you'll be able to get a better idea by looking at it, rather than just hearing about it.

T: The only time we've set up chairs at a live music club was during the pandemic, so I'm kind of excited to see what it'll be like.

R: The scenery will change, and the view from the stage will change too.

H: We're looking forward to it in many ways.

R: I think it's a really great idea.

H: We can't wait to see everyone around the country!

H: Here's a quick announcement from us. The song "Terra Boy" that we talked about today will be released digitally from January 1st. Please send us your thoughts on it!

R: The music video was released yesterday [January 5th], right? I hope you guys check it out as well.

H: It's really lively.

R: It's really good.

H: The director we worked with was amazing, too.

R: They were the best.

H: On February 1st, we'll be releasing "Doukashiterutte," and on March 1st, we'll release "Soundly." Both of these songs will have music videos as well.

R: They'll be released on the 5th of their respective months.

H: And then we'll be releasing our EP on March 5th. It will include the three songs we released digitally, plus one cover track, with a total of four tracks. Please look forward to that too! It'll then be followed by a nationwide tour in Japan, starting March 7th in Nagoya. After touring in Japan in March and April, we plan to go overseas, so to all our international listeners, please look forward to it!

H: Speaking of which, we launched official international social media accounts at the end of last year! They will post primarily in English, so hopefully it'll be easier for our international fans to stay updated on our activities. We hope it helps you feel even closer to us!
