Theme：RINA

I went to the salon today
I got my hair colored, cut, and treated--
My usual three-item set
I added in a little bit of pink
And mellowed it out♡
I feel refreshed〜

---

On my way back,
It got dark in an instant

All of your thoughts about the documentary
That you've DMed
And sent on social media
Makes me really happy.
Did it also trend on Twitter?
(My friend told me about it)
Thank you!
Every day is held together
By the support of every person's thoughts and voices.

We got to honestly talk about
All sorts of things in the film,
And having everyone learn about us
Made us feel a little lighter.
Ah,,, We'll go to an even better place!
Somewhere that's further away from here!
Those are things that we still feel.

What kind of future is waiting for us?
I hope we can go see it
With everyone who's with us then ☾

How do you say "I love you" in words other than "The moon is beautiful"...?

Episode ＃142 blog

HARUNA: This time, we're going to focus solely on reading messages.

TOMOMI: Yayー

Yuna

On the 24th of next month, on Christmas Eve, I will be getting married to the guy I've been dating thanks to SCANDAL! We'll be going to BEST Xmas that night!

All: Congrats!

RINA: Nice!

HARUNA: Happy to hear thatー

TOMOMI: I'm really happy!

HARUNA: Let's make it a great night.

Yurina

Regarding what was mentioned the other day about how to tell someone you love them without outright saying it: I put a lot of thought into it as a married person, so I'll be reporting about it here.

It happened one day. A message before my husband came home from work: "There's a dessert that looks like something you'd like, so I'll buy it for you."

"This...is what it is...! To love...! He's telling me he loves me...! !" is what I thought haha. I don't usually notice it that my daily life had been overflowing with love. Thank you for noticing such a wonderful thing.

TOMOMI: This really is "love."

RINA: Yeah, I get it.

MAMI: What they're always thinking about is "love."

TOMOMI: Heading to the cashier while thinking about the other person...

HARUNA: It's "love."

RINA: They're connected.

TOMOMI: It's great how these are all happy messages.

RINA: Lots of warm messages.

Yumu Yumu

In episode 140, I heard the topic of conveying love without using the words "I love you." I suddenly remembered the words my girlfriend said to me and felt love from, so I'm sending a message about it!

I have a girlfriend I've been dating for 3 months! About a month ago when we were out driving, she suddenly said, "Don't die before me, okay?" I was surprised at that time but thought that was cute, and I replied, "I'll live a long life!"

I happened to get a phone call from her right after listening to Catch up, so I told her about this time and the love I felt!

MAMI: Nice!

HARUNA: There are many ways to convey love.

RINA: It's a word that comes out naturally because you want to be with that person forever.

TOMOMI: Are you unsure about whether to die before or after your partner?

HARUNA: Yeah, I'm unsure.

RINA: I get it.

MAMI: Eh? eh? Unsure!?

TOMOMI: Wondering which way to go.

RINA: If you had a choice, which one should you choose?

TOMOMI: You'd feel like you want to keep going, but you could also feel like you might be able to endure it.

HARUNA: I might want to keep going...

TOMOMI: Both are forms of "love."

RINA: There's also the pain of being left alone.

TOMOMI: Which one should you choose?

MAMI: Eh, is that something you can choose??

HARUNA: But wouldn't it change with age?

MAMI: It depends on your health at that time.

RINA: Realistically, there are various things to consider.

MAMI: Let's get to the next message. This is another way of saying "I love you."

Touch!

(*Another way of saying "I love you" expressed by novelist Soseki Natsume) "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

You can eat the edge of the tonkatsu!

RINA: Eh, shouldn't it be from the middle?

MAMI: It says the edge.

RINA: Why the edge??

TOMOMI: There's no denying the theory that the edges are delicious.

RINA: Ah, true.

HARUNA: Doesn't Touch! always send messages about fried foods?

TOMOMI: True - they did send a message saying they didn't know the difference between a croquette and a mince cutlet!

RINA: Do they like fried foods?

MAMI: Is their parents' house a bento shop or something??

【Translated Summary】
『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Apollo』 - Episode 141

•The episode starts with this. HARU wonders where in Nagoya the listener wants to live. TOMO asks if there's an area that she'd recommend living in. HARU says she doesn't know, which makes TOMO laugh.

•Gotta be honest, this episode was honestly not very interesting. They talked about so many things mostly related to Nagoya that aren't really important/interesting, that I don't even know what I could pick up to translate...so I am not going to translate any of it. Apologies haha

•Though I will translate this: At the end, TOMO asks if HARU and MAMI would like to live in Nagoya. There's a pause before they both go, "...that's okay." TOMO, RINA, and their staff laugh hard at this. RINA says that it's sad how they said that as their answer. TOMO says that this segment was probably pointless. MAMI quickly says no, and thanks them for trying to inform them about Nagoya.

Presenting the merits of Nagoya to HARUNA and MAMI! Is Nagoya too humble!?

Episode ＃141 blog

---

HARUNA: We're doing a feature on Nagoya...??

RINA: Yeah, we are.

TOMOMI: That's right. We will tell MAMI and HARUNA, who are from the Nagoya area, about the wonders of Nagoya: "Living in Nagoya city"!!

RINA: There it isー!

HARUNA: What is this...

TOMOMI: When Nagoya comes up in conversation and things like, "Nagoya is the best!" or "Nagoya is a nice placeー!", the two of you are like, "Well, I do like it" or "Nah..."

HARUNA: I mean, we do love it.

MAMI: We do love Nagoya.

RINA: Yeah, we understand that.

TOMOMI: But you guys go, "Nah..."

RINA: It was like that the other day.

TOMOMI: This exchange happens over and over again.

RINA: Yeah, it does.

TOMOMI: So, we'll be conveying the wonders of Nagoya.

HARUNA: That means that you two will be telling us, right?

TOMOMI: Yes, it's a special about Nagoya.

MAMI: That's great for everyone from Nagoyaー!

HARUNA: Well...thank you.

TOMOMI: First, we'll be covering the basics. Nagoya Castle! The castle was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu as the last step to unify the whole country.

MAMI: That's right. I'm aware of that.

TOMOMI: There are also the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology! Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium! Nagoya City Science Museum, with the world's largest planetarium! Legoland Japan! And most recently, Ghibli Park!

MAMI: The Science Museum is where you go to on field trips.

HARUNA: It's a lot of fun.

TOMOMI: (*A bit surprised at how fired up they are) ...ah, that's right.

HARUNA: Like we said, we love Nagoya!

TOMOMI: What's the best thing about the museum?

HARUNA: ...not sure. I don't know that.

MAMI: ...I also don't know.

TOMOMI: Our listeners are worried; we've received emails about it.

MAMI: But we love Nagoya.

Harurhythm

During a recent episode, HARU and MAMI said that they love their hometown of Nagoya but don't want to live there. I actually really want to live there (I've never lived outside of Kanagawa Prefecture).

I'm planning to move to Nagoya next year. When I talk to my friends from the Aichi region, they all say that there's nothing in Nagoya. I've been to many places for concerts and events, and there are many tourist spots that I like, but the first place that's ever wanted to make me live somewhere is Nagoya. It's thanks to HARU that I've come to like Nagoya so much. I love listening to HARU and MAMI talk passionately about Nagoya as well as diss it on radio programs and the like.

TOMOMI: It seems it's thanks to HARU??

MAMI: I wonder what made them want to live in Nagoya...

Since getting my driver's license,
It's been so much fun
To driveeee,
(The photo is when there was heavy rain)
(On my first day of driving)
(Before I knew it, I was on the Metropolitan Expressway and kind of panicking)
But until now
I had never driven totally alone.

Today the idea to go for a drive
Suddenly came to mind,
And I finally drove solo◎

I endlessly drove straight ahead
Without knowing where I'd arrive, and then went back home( ◜ᴗ◝ )
Glad I got back safely〜
I was scared to go to the gas station〜haha
Filling up's not possible for me( ◜ᴗ◝ )
That's happened a lot〜
The power the shoshinsha mark holds is crazy〜
Thank you to the people who filled up my car〜
It feels like I leveled up today

Though I'm still nervous
To drive far by myslf,
I want to try driving on a lot more roadsー!
That's what I thought today haha

I thought I might up come with some lyrics
While driving,
But that was overly optimistic.
That'll likely take another 2〜3 years( ◜ᴗ◝ )

【Translated Summary】
『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Apollo』 - Episode 140

•The episode starts with this.

•RINA reads the next message from a listener who says that they started listening to SCANDAL because of their girlfriend and has become a big fan. Their job has gotten pretty hard due to the pandemic, but their girlfriend and SCANDAL's songs help them do their best. They say that they hope to one day go with their girlfriend to a SCANDAL show. The band thanks them. RINA says that it was a simple message but made them happy, and that a lot of couples attend SCANDAL shows in general.

•MAMI reads the next message from a listener who is writing in as part of that "one sentence" message topic where they encouraged listeners who have never written in before to write in for the first time. The message simply goes: "The other day I boiled some eggs at my new house." The band laughs and says that was a good message.

•They then say they're going back to the regular messages. TOMO asks if only one message for that topic was sent in. A staffer says that wasn't the case, which makes the band glad. HARU says that those messages are spread out across the ones they'll read today, and then reads the next message from a listener whose previous message was read during episode 134 about how they asked them to play SCANDAL as background music when they had surgery. They also mention the "playing songs while giving birth" topic and says that they were told that most mothers who request that don't actually have the leeway to be listening to the songs. Another thing they mention is that children's heart rates are fast (100-ish), so it's easy to get a feel for that by listening to a song like "Anpanman no March," which is 96 BPM. They say that a SCANDAL song close to that would be "one more time." RINA talks about how she listened to a click track when she took her driver's license test, and laughs that that was something she could have done forever. HARU says that listening to/doing something along to a click track is basically what she does for a living, anyway. They also say that it's good to keep in mind that "one more time" is good for what the listener mentioned.

•TOMO reads the next message from a listener who is writing in for that "one sentence" topic. They say: "I broke up with my girlfriend of 7 years because of SCANDAL. Give this a listen: 'Ai ni Naranakatta no sa.'" The band goes, "What??" since the message isn't worded very clearly. MAMI wonders if it's because of SCANDAL that they broke up with their gf. HARU says that it's more likely that they had originally met their girlfriend because of SCANDAL. They're still unsure of what exactly the listener meant: Is it thanks to SCANDAL that the couple met one another, or is it because of SCANDAL that the couple broke up? RINA says that they're sorry if it's the latter, which makes the others laugh. MAMI says that maybe they should take it that it's because of SCANDAL that they broke up, since they mentioned "Ai ni Naranakatta no sa." HARU says that perhaps they saw the lyrics and realized that what they had wasn't true love. RINA says that that could be possible. TOMO says to send in a reply telling the band exactly what they mean.

•RINA then reads the next message from a listener who is writing in for the Smental segment and asks the band, "What number seems like it would be [physically] slippery?" The band says that all/a lot of them seem slippery. HARU says that there aren't any that don't seem like they would be. They then say their answers all at once. MAMI, TOMO, and RINA answer "0" while HARU answers "9." MAMI, TOMO, and RINA seem to think that maybe they all answered the same, but HARU says that they didn't. TOMO asks who answered differently. HARU says that she thinks it's herself. TOMO goes, "Did you say 'mochi'?!" (in reference to episode 137), which they all laugh at. HARU says she didn't, and that she answered "9." TOMO and MAMI go, "Nine??! It's gotta be zero!!" They try to guess/wonder why she would choose 9, but HARU just says that she can't really answer that; she just went by feeling. HARU says that the more they do Smental, the more the realizes that she'll be off the mark when answering. TOMO says that she doesn't get her explanations at all. RINA says that her answers are good ones, though.

•MAMI reads the next message from a listener who is writing in for that "one sentence" topic. They ask the band what their top 3 oden ingredients are. TOMO says that she definitely knows what her top one is. RINA says she thinks she knows what her own ones are but is unsure of their rankings. RINA says that they probably don't need to match up their answers since it's supposed to be about their own top 3 ingredients. MAMI says that one that she always has to have is mochi kinchaku, which might rank ＃1 for her. Eggs are also on her list. RINA says that eggs are ＃1 for her. TOMO says that she definitely has to get daikon, which HARU and MAMI also agree with. TOMO says that jagaimo (potatoes) are also on her list. HARU says that wieners are good. Another ingredient MAMI lists is ganmo. Another ingredient RINA lists is atsuage.

•HARU reads the next message from a listener who is writing in for the first time and mentions stuff like how they'll be attending BEST Xmas. The band says that they are deciding on things for that a little at a time. TOMO then reads the next message from a listener who basically asks the band how you tell someone that you love them without outright telling them you love them. The band is unsure and tries to think. RINA says that this is kind of the same as when you're racking your brains when writing lyrics. MAMI says that nothing's coming immediately to mind. RINA says that they might need six days in order to figure it out, which makes the others laugh. TOMO says that this will be their homework for the next episode. HARU says that they might like to hear from other listeners what they think. TOMO then asks their program director what he thinks about the question. He also is unsure how to answer. They again say that this is difficult to answer.

Clips of our trips
Theme：RINA

I'm sure there are many people who learned about this
Via the official announcement we already made,
But we've completed a photobook
Full of photos from our overseas trips
Shot by our photographer
Takeshi Yao!

---

He continued to take pictures
While staying close to us band members
Not only on concert days, of course,
But for all other times as well.
We're very happy
That he took almost two months out of his schedule for us,
Despite being in big demand
With a lot of other popular artists.
Too luxurious.



There's an excitement and air of tension
When you have something that makes you go,
"If it weren't for this one photo, I would have forgotten about this〜."
Excitement and a moment to take a breath.
When you reminisce,
Memories will come flooding back from then
And you'll feel a twinge in your heart.



Who we are this year can only happen right now--
We were photographed as is, and we like every single photo︎
I'm sure that for the people who will see this,
It'll act as a switch
That'll bring back the feelings that pass by so delicately
That can't be remembered without an impetus.
I'd like for you to occasionally flip it on
And immerse yourself in the moments you love.



Photos really do hold a mysterious power to them.
That goes for photographing, viewing, and being photographed.
In just a year and a few months,
Things have changed so much that even I'm surprised.



These are photos that can only be seen in this photobook
That only could have been taken by Yaoyao.
You can experience the story via the layout and design.
Scenes that were captured
From the perspective of a photographer.
There are so many good moments alongside each other◎



We really want to bring our activities overseas
Back to Japan
In all sorts of ways︎
It would make me very happy
If you could enjoy this book as you'd like it.



Ah, speaking of,
It will also come with an original sticker
For those who preorder it♡

The sticker's design
Hasn't been revealed yet,
But just between us:
It was made to look like a Paris subway ticket.
It'll look adorable
If you put it on your phone case or laptop...◎
I wrote that in secrecy haha

Our documentary film was finally completed
Last week◎

Our trusted video director,
Our office team, and the her staff
Edited until the last minute,
And I think it turned out to be a really great film.

How we feel about being a band right now,
What happened overseas,
Things that couldn't be conveyed without making it into a film,
What we couldn't tell everyone,
The heat of the audience and the power of live performances.
It is full of sincere words and a sincere atmosphere.

It's our story,
And is part of the history of all-girl bands.
I'm glad we got to leave a record of itー!︎

I think there will be many more all-girl bands
In the future,
And I'd like for them to watch it
After they've been around for 10-odd years
And have been an odds about something
Or when they're stuck. What viewpoint is that, anyway,,, haha

It's definitely a work
That will make each person
Feel many things.
I'd definitely love for those who are fans at this stage
To watch it︎

We've made a great film!
All that's left is to get it out to everyone!



Ah, did you know?

Second anniversary, and

Yesterday was
DAISY PROJECT's second anniversaryー!
Ahー, I'm so happyー!

---

Thank you for always cheering us on
And having fun together︎

To express our gratitude,
We have made
An original clear file in celebration of our second anniversary!



They are being given for free to the first 100 purchasers [who buy any item].
If you're interested in one,
Buy something you'd like
To get this file〜!
(It looks like we'll be hitting that number soon, so be quick about it◎)


Also,
We launched a new collaboration item yesterday!



We have made a cuticle oil
In collaboration with "URUOKA,"
A product of Sasaki Shoten Co., Ltd.,
Which sells nail products for professionals.

We'd love for you to start using it
During this current dry season.



・Rose Geranium
・Grapefruit White
・Lavender

Are the three scents it is available in.
All of them are scents that everyone can enjoy
And are easy to use irrespective of gender.

I was so unsure which to go with,
And finally went with lavender♡
The marble-patterned labels, designed in colors inspired by scents,
Are also cute,,,



It's easy to use:
With the oil sucked up with the dropper,
Just drop it along the edge of the nail
And blend it with your fingers◎

Apply it quickly before going out/going to bed,
And let the nice fragrance and moisturization soothe you♡



The oil and an original postcard
Come in an elegant gray organza drawstring bag.
You can give it as a present as is◎



I packed everything one by one
By hand
This time as well︎

It always makes me happy
As I work while thinking,
"These are going out to everyone〜!"

The number of things that take away from the proceeds are reduced
So that we can give the maximum donation amount◎



It took a year
To finally complete this oil.
The moment our items get sent out,
My love for it overflows. haha
I believe in DAISY
With all my heart.



We thought about how
People might be worried about dry hands or damage to them
When they use water every day for housework and childcare,
And I hope that their skin and hearts will be moisturized during those times.
Please take some time to do some self care.

Since the item went on sale yesterday,
I've also gotten a lot of opinions and impressions
From people who don't have kids.
I'm really happy and feel like I've been rewarded.

Comments like, "I'm worried about my fingertips when I touch my computer at work,
So I'm looking forward to using it!"
And, "I'm happy because hand care has been on my mind
Ever since daily sanitization has been the norm,"
And, "I want to give this to my mom as a present."
And, "You might be able to reach more people
If you send an easy-to-understand usage method
To men that have never used a nail oil before!"

Thank you for thinking with us!
Thank you for getting it!

I hope everyone can feel warm
Via DAISY items.
Also,
Those worried about their families,
You're not alone.
Even if something's unresolved,
I hope you don't forget
That there are people right here who always care about you︎
Let's live life together


It's getting too long, so I'll wrap it up haha

And move forward with it

I'm writing lyrics every day
My head is so full
That I have nothing left for the blog or social media haha
Doing YouTube videos is definitely out of the question...haha
Sounds play back in my head when I'm sleeping,
And I go, "When I wake up, I need to jot this down...!"

We'll get through this as usual,
And have a satisfying song that we want everyone to listen to
The weight of one song increases year by year,
And every day I hope that you'll be happy with it
Then it'll be set free◎

Spoiler:

What color is Osaka?? Their answers to a "Smental" question finally all match up!?

Episode ＃140 blog

---

HARUNA: We'll be reading messages this episode. Let's get right to it!

Rinati

If you were to express Osaka as a color, what color would it be?

TOMOMI: What was "Smental," again?

MAMI: It's that one, you know...

HARUNA: The one where all have writing paper and try to give the same one answer to a question.

TOMOMI: Aah...

RINA: The one where we match our answers.

Staff: Hey! Make sure you remember it since it's a popular segment!!

MAMI: Shall we try it?

TOMOMI: Let's try it. Smental! "What color would Osaka be?"

HARUNA: Eh? What would it be...

MAMI: Hm...

RINA: Well, it does have an image of it being energetic and lively.

TOMOMI: Doesn't "Osaka" already have a color in its name?
(Staff note: What she meant by this is a little unclear)

MAMI: I do picture Osaka as having a color... But are there any colors that represent that atmosphere?

RINA: Yeah, it's the color of the symbol of Osaka.

HARUNA: What is "the color of the symbol"??

MAMI: Ehー

RINA: In any case, let's go for it.

HARUNA: Let's say it outloud. But what does that mean? I don't understand.

MAMI: I picture Osaka as being three colors.

HARUNA: True...

RINA: What colors is MAMI thinking of...

HARUNA: At any rate, let's go for it. One, two, three!

All: (*All answer verbally in unison)

RINA: Eh, what did you guys say?

TOMOMI: Did we all answer the same?

HARUNA: I said red.

RINA: I also said red.

TOMOMI: I also said red.

MAMI: ...I said orange.

TOMOMI: Ah... Yeah, it was basically all the same.

RINA: I totally get answering with warm colors.

MAMI: Yeah. I was unsure between orange, red, and yellow.

HARUNA: I was unsure about going with [orange or] yellow.

RINA: Orange basically is red.

TOMOMI: A reddish orange.

HARUNA: So, we all got the correct answer for "What color would Osaka be?"!

Staff: You did not - Game-wise, it's a "Non-Smental"!

【Translated Summary】
『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Apollo』 - Episode 139

•The episode starts with this. RINA says that electronic money is becoming the norm all around the world. HARU also mentions that overseas it's all about using credit cards. TOMO says that the use of electronic money has increased since the pandemic began to limit physical contact between people. RINA says that it's probably good if you use both cash and electronic money.

•TOMO reads the next message from a listener who asks what the fine line is between "oishii" (おいしい) and "umai" (うまい) is (both words essentially mean "delicious"), and ask if the band uses the two differently. They also ask when they're eating with friends which word they would use. RINA says that she basically never says "umai," which HARU agrees with. RINA also says that she might have never used it even once, but TOMO says that she has heard her say it before, and that it comes out naturally quite a bit. They agree that all of them do frequently say "Umaaa!" HARU says that she does say that a lot. MAMI says that they don't usually go, "Umai naa!", though. HARU says that they do say "Oishii" as well. TOMO wonders what the difference is between the two for them, anyway. She then says that it's faster to say "Umaaa!" the moment you eat something that tastes good. She says that perhaps "umai" is used more for B-class foods while "oishii" can be used for really anything. HARU says that you tend to use "Umaaa!" when you're eating something for the first time and it's so delicious that it surprises you, and for "oishii," you tend to use it when you eat something you know is delicious but experience it again--kind of like, "Ah, this food really is delicious." MAMI says that your first reaction to something that's good is "umai," and that you say something is "oishii" after you've had the chance to bite into and savor it. TOMO says that it does seem the difference might be related to speed (initial reaction: umai - later reaction: oishii). The staff talks about something in the background that is pretty inaudible, though it does seem to be related to generations since RINA says that differences could be a generational thing.

•RINA reads the next message from a listener who asks them what the fine line is between the "red thread of fate" belief vs. the "red line (? lol) of fate" belief. Basically, they say that the former is about the person you're fated to be with while the latter is about personal connections.

•MAMI reads the next message from a listener who asks them what the fine line is between what "okashi" (お菓子) and "dagashi" (駄菓子) is (both essentially mean "candy" or "sweets," though the latter usually refers to inexpensive sweets). They also mention how they heard someone on the radio list their favorite dagashi and said that Yan Yan was one of them. The listener thought that was odd since they don't consider Yan Yan to be dagashi. TOMO says that she doesn't consider it as dagashi either--rather, it's a "luxury item" (since she really likes it). The staff laughs at this and MAMI says that she agrees. HARU talks about how she considers dagashi to be something that's small and can get a large quantity of for fairly cheap, and so she also does not consider Yan Yan to be dagashi. MAMI says that nostalgia is also a factor; if you see something that you used to buy when you were younger and it makes you feel nostalgia, then that could be considered dagashi. Yan Yan doesn't give off that factor for her. They conclude that Yan Yan isn't dagashi; it's okashi.

•To close out the segment, they try to decide what the topic should be for the next Kyoukai-sen Kyoukai meeting by looking at pieces of paper that have topics written on them. They decide to pick one about what the fine line is between the different types of Kansai dialect there are. An example would be how, despite both TOMO and RINA being from the Kansai region, their dialects are slightly different since they're from different parts of the region.

Using different methods when you're alone vs. when you're with someone? Where is the fine line between when to use electronic money vs. cash?

Episode ＃139 blog

---

HARUNA: We will be holding the fall 2022 meeting of "Catch up Kyoukai-sen Kyoukai" (Fine Line Association).

Zakitasu

This isn't about the fine line between words, but do the SCANDAL members have a fine line between when to use cash and when to use electronic money?

I'm a cash person, and when I went to a botanical garden cafe the other day, I couldn't pay cash and so I couldn't order from the café. I'm glad it wasn't a date lol. If this was a date, I'd have definitely been dumped, wouldn't I?

RINA: You wouldn't get dumped.

HARUNA: This topic makes sense in today's society, the fine line between cash and electronic money.

RINA: Yeah, it seems that many people pay with electronic money these days.

HARUNA: The number has grown.

MAMI: I certainly do use electronic money when I go shopping alone or to a cafe, but I do need to carry cash when I go out to eat with others.

HARUNA: Yeah, when you split the bill.

MAMI: Yeah, you can also send money (via an app), but it is better to go with cash.

TOMOMI: Not everyone can send money.

HARUNA: Sending money (electronically) is getting more common.

RINA: It is.

TOMOMI: On days when I have a lot of coins, I really want to use them because they're heavy...

HARUNA: Maybe if it's over 1,000 yen.

RINA: What do you mean by that?

HARUNA: If it's over 1,000 yen, you should go with cash. When you buy a bottle of water at a convenience store, should you use electronic money?

MAMI: With the spread of electronic money, people tend to forget to carry cash.

HARUNA: That does happen. You may not even know your cash balance.

MAMI: You might not even know how much you have in your wallet...

Sendai GIGS
Theme：RINA

---

We played a concert in Sendai on Sunday!
Our first performance in Japan in forever where cheering was allowed
Was soooo much fun,
Made us really happy,
And brought back a lot of feelings.
You guys have been so patient for these past few years.

Again, we're grateful
To SiM for inviting us to play this tour.
Thank you so much
To GIGS for allowing audience vocalization,
And to everyone who came out.

We had almost forgotten
The feeling of people calling out our names between songs
And the atmosphere of the performance progressing
With the words that are said to us during MCs,
And we were excited about the feeling of creating a live performance with everyone.
The power that voices hold really is amazing.
Seeing people crying as I was drumming
Made me go, "Oh wowww!"

This was a good night
That made me want to feel like this again and again.
Thank you so much!








See you at a festival next!

【Translated Summary】
『SCANDAL Catch up supported by Meiji Apollo』 - Episode 138

•The episode starts with this.

•MAMI reads the next message from a listener from Japan who attended the London performance. They say that was their first time seeing SCANDAL live in nine years since their STANDARD tour in 2013, which was when they were a second-year high schooler. Seeing SCANDAL now brought back memories from when they were in high school. RINA says that it's impressive that the listener has continued to follow SCANDAL all these years. HARU says that getting messages like this one makes them think once more about how touring overseas is really great. She says that it used to be a yearly tradition for them to go overseas at least once per year before the pandemic hit.

•HARU reads the next message from a listener who is a middle school teacher. The band all goes, "Hey! Teacher!" and laugh, saying that this the first time they've done that in a while. The listener tells them about a recent happening where a student of theirs said to them that the "Poallo" chocolate was delicious. After asking them about it, they realized that the student was actually talking about Apollo Chocolate. They told the student such, but the student kept saying that it was "Poallo" (SCANDAL: "How cute"). The listener wants to show them what a piece of Apollo actually looks like, so they ask the band for an Apollo pouch and say that they'll make sure to fix that student's thinking. The band laughs, says that's cute and that they'll give them a pouch. TOMO says that this might be a made-up story. They laugh and say that that might be true.

•TOMO reads the next message from a listener who is also a teacher (SCANDAL: "Hey! Teacher!"). They talk about looking up real-life places that SCANDAL has visited around Tokyo and brings along their boyfriend with them, though he hasn't realized that they've taken him to these spots because they're SCANDAL-related. They want him to realize this, though. Another thing they mention is that MAMI takes a lot of roadside photos, with some being taken in front of public toilets in the Koenji area of Tokyo. This makes the band laugh hard. MAMI says that those photos are probably the ones that her photographer friend takes of her. HARU asks if MAMI writes in her captions that the photos were taken in Koenji. She says no, and HARU says that that means the listener looks up/finds that info out on their own. They say that that's pretty impressive. MAMI seems to look up what photos the listener was referring to, and apparently she didn't even realize herself that those were public toilets. Another thing that the listener mentioned was that they plan to attend SCANDAL's joint-band concert in Sendai with SiM. TOMO says that maybe MAMI should take some photos in a weird place in Sendai, which makes the others laugh. She also says that it could be a game to see whether or not the listener can find the place. MAMI says that the boyfriend will probably wonder why they're going to a weird spot.

•RINA reads the next message from a listener who is a fourth-year college student who has been a fan since they were about 13, and says that SCANDAL has helped them out/supported them through hard times while in school and work. RINA says that it's crazy to think how much of an impact they've had on peoples' lives like this. HARU says that they've changed some great peoples' lives in a big way. TOMO says that it really makes them happy. RINA says that it really makes them glad that they've dedicated everything to the band when they hear things like this. HARU says that hearing things like this makes them realize that they do need to keep working hard as well.

•MAMI reads the next message from a listener who is from the Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. In their 20s they lived on an island but wanted to live in Tokyo, but in their 30s they say they've finally realized the appeal of living on an island. They ask the band if they've had the same kind of thoughts. HARU says that they've been getting a lot of messages lately regarding places to live. TOMO says that she'd love to live in the Goto Islands in the future, which makes the others laugh. RINA says she left the rural area she was from to move to Tokyo for the band, and she longed for Tokyo so much that she had really thought that once she visited, she'd never want to leave or live anywhere else. However, she's grown to learn about the merits of her hometown over the years, and going back to visit has made her realize that the way people lives their lives there really does fit her. HARU says that that's really surprising to hear. RINA agrees and never thought that that kind of day would come, and also says that since learning how to drive she's been having stray thoughts like how she might live in Nara or Osaka one day in the future.

•MAMI says that she is definitely not returning to her hometown. HARU also says that she won't be either. RINA goes, "The pair from Nagoya is so harsh about their hometowns!", which makes all of them laugh. MAMI says that she does love Nagoya, though. TOMO says that it does seem like everyone from Nagoya is the same way--they love Nagoya but will not go back to live there. A staffer says something to them and MAMI + HARU say that they do like Nagoya. HARU says that once you go to Tokyo, you realize how much better Tokyo is. TOMO asks what she means. HARU talks about the commercial aspect and it's because the number of trendy food places have increased in Nagoya that Tokyo is so much better. MAMI says that it's that Nagoya is always one step behind in the trends; it's like, "Why is this older trend so popular here now?" HARU laughs while wholeheartedly agreeing. TOMO says that that aspect is cute. HARU says that that lag was actually something frustrating when she was in high school. MAMI again says that she does love Nagoya, but it is a little frustrating to be there. HARU says that food from Nagoya such as miso is something that you can buy there and bring back with you, but there's really nothing else. Anything else you could just buy in Tokyo. RINA wonders what their families who have always lived in Nagoya think. MAMI and their staff burst out laughing at this. HARU says that it's not really about that, and that their families and friends do seem to enjoy living there. It's just that HARU herself doesn't want to--that's something she's felt since she was a kid and would say that when she was grown up, she'd definitely go to live in Tokyo. MAMI says that her family lives pretty far from any bus or train station, which always makes her think of how much of a pain it must be for them.

•They then close out the episode. They say that they're recruiting messages for a new segment related to Yan Yan day (November 11, since 11/11 looks like four Yan Yan sticks next to each other), which encourages listeners who have never sent in a message to the program before, to send in a message about anything they'd like. Those whose messages are read will get some Yan Yan sent to them. They say that the message could be really short like a tweet if you'd like.

•Another thing they talk about are their recently-announced upcoming live performances. HARU mentions the MERRY ROCK PARADE that will take place in Nagoya, which makes the staff laugh. HARU asks what's up, and the staff seems to say that they laughed because Nagoya was mentioned. MAMI says that she's happy when they're able to play a show in her hometown. HARU says that she doesn't want people to get the wrong idea, and that she does love Nagoya. MAMI also says that she loves it. TOMO goes, "There's something wrong with you guys! You're contradicting what you said before!", which makes everyone laugh. MAMI again says that they love Nagoya, and that they're happy to be able to perform at the festival there.
