interview of haruna with Masafumi Gotoh (ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION)

Masafumi Gotoh's INU COMMUNICATION - Lady is perfection
The dog we'll be featuring this time is a minature dachschund named Lady. She's a young female dog only half a year old, and her owner is HARUNA, the vocalist and guitarist of the rock band SCANDAL.
HARUNA-san and Lady arrived a few minutes later.
Lady was a very calm dog. She wasn't scared nor did she get riled up as she sat next to me, and it felt like she was leisurely emitting indescribably happy vibes from her entire body.
I felt like my spirit was being hydrated in an instant. The manuscript this time was so cute that I thought it was enough to just write "cute" with the fattest font.
heard that HARUNA had previously not liked dogs that much.
Her grandmother who lived with her loved dogs and had a Shih Tzu and a pomeranian. However, it seems that the spoiled dogs grew up having haughty personalities and had even bitten her. She sympathized with me, who had been bitten by a Mame Shiba Inu before.
Still, HARUNA-san suddenly wanted to get a miniature dachschund and came across Lady by chance at a pet shop she stopped by. She had no choice but to take her home with her. It's like a story out of a drama.
Since SCANDAL is a band that tours overseas as well, there are lengthy periods when she's away from home. Who takes care of her dog during those times? When I wasn't sure if she could answer such frank questions, I was surprised that the editorial staff was asking questions like, "Do you live alone?", or, "Would you have someone take care of her?"
When you write the word "Pia" (ぴあ), the hiragana gives off a pop-like feeling. When you read it aloud, you get the impression of a soft, harmless small animal calling out. It feels as if you would inadvertently talk about your personal matters, but they are part of the mass media. You could even sell the information by adding something like a P-code.
I thought it was terrible.
The conversation ended as I felt overwhelmed and worried about all forms of private matters would be laid bare in this dog serialization series. I felt like she'd say something like, "I leave her at a pet hotel." For other questions, I felt as though I'd hear extreme things like, "It's impossible now for me to deal with people more high maintenance than Lady."
But when you have a dog as cute as this, would you even want to leave it and go on a lengthy tour? I don't even like dogs that much, but I think it might be tough for me as well.
Rock band tours are tough. If you have any worries about your dog, your mental state will undoubtably be all messed up.
Firstly, you probably don't want to go on tour while being separated from your dog.
However, you must play concerts in various places in order to make a living, and to promote your albums.
You leave the house feeling down, your spirit starts slipping downward as you reach the nearest station, and by the time you get on the Yamanote Line in the morning with a guitar case on your back, your spirit hangs down from the hem of your pants to the ground. You get stepped on by the passengers on the packed train, and as you get off at Shinagawa Station you change to the Keikyu Line while having to listen to tongue clicking close to your ears. By the time you arrive at Haneda Airport, your spirit will be far from billowing udon and will be more like shredded cloth. You're in despair before boarding the plane feeling like that, you throw your guitar at the airport staff, head back home via taxi, hug your dog, and cry loudly. Only then can your mind and body be restored. From that point on you live not as a musician but as a dog owner. You'll have trouble eating, but that can't be helped. Indeed.
Wouldn't you retire?
I thought that was a sad thing.
HARUNA-san is not a mentally weak owner like me, so she should be able to leave Lady at a proper place; entertain audiences around the world; have celebrations; and so on, as well as moderately taking care of her body and completing concert tours. Then, she'll return home and embrace Lady, which should revitalize her dried out spirit while on tour.
I thought that was a wonderful thing.
I too kind of want a dog now. However, just like I failed a simulation, it would be impossible for me, who takes sloppy care of themselves physically and mentally year-round, to do.
The road to getting along with dogs is steep.

The new Feedback! items
Are both at the shop in Shibuya as well as online!
We also came out with some beautifully made outerwear that can be used for a long time?!
Basically everything is unisex
And can be worn by both men and women
We hired models
For the 2019AW collection
And I think it got easier
To see what it looks like when men wear the clothing
We hope you enjoy
Incorporating clothes made by musicians
Along with music.
"I feel a little more excited when I wear this?"
Is what I hope you'll feel like...?
A portion of items are now on sale,
So check them out before they're gone!

We're steadily making all kinds of things
Such as setlists, staging, outfits, and merch
For our world tour that starts in March.
We hope that you'll be able to enjoy so many things
And feel excited and all tingly.
All so that we can go even further on our next tour.
Today,
I went to do some personal training.
I want to play more beautifully, gorgeously, and strongly
Instruments that don't use electricity
Really are all about your mind and body.
If I feel like it,
Maybe I'll post about my training on social media
I'll work hard?
Well then,
There's less than a month left until our album is out.
The result of us wanting to do something
That would be most fun delivery method
Will be us holding
One-day manager events to commemoration the album's release!!
We'll be going around to a bunch of places?!
We want to make it a wonderful time for all
Please come out and see us!

We did a radio recording for J-WAVE!
It's been a little bit
Since the four of us did a radio appearance together
So it was super fun?
We talked about all sorts of things in depth
Like delving into each of our musical journeys
And talking about when we were producing the album.
It'll be aired next month over the course of four weeks,
So please look forward to more info about it...!
Also,
We added more overseas dates
To our world tour.
Our beloved Europe.
This time we'll be going to Paris, London, and Berlin.
Watch over us in Japan, okay.
We still have more overseas dates that'll be added.
The 7-Eleven presale for the Japan performances
Have begun, so check it out while you can!
This year will truly be a year of touring!

Thanks to everyone
Who watched J-MELO
This morning?!
They aired HARUNA&TOMOMI on location in Kobe,
And two songs performed in the studio?!
You can also watch it on demand,
So those who missed it, check it out here?
That's right;
By doing world tours,
There are people [in Japan] who ask us,
"Should I refrain
From going overseas from Japan?"
In our case
There are no particular restrictions
It's also like this in Japan,
But the atmosphere in each country is completely different and interesting overseas as well?
Thank you for thinking about
Even the smaller little details?!
We'll make it a great tour?!
Today,
Rain mixed with snow fell in Tokyo as well,
And it was so cold that it took courage to go outside?
Take care of yourselves
And have a good weekend?!

interview
SCANDAL - What are they excited for in 2020, a year after establishing their new label?
Singapore fans have a lot of freedom to create a space to enjoy music
HARUNA: We put together a setlist with songs unique to C3AFA. Although we played plenty of anime-related songs, the excitement in particular for "Shunkan Sentimental," an ending song for the anime "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood," was insane. We asked everyone to sing the chorus, and it was perfect.
TOMOMI: We also got everyone excited with our new song that we still hadn't played in Japan. I'm looking forward to coming back to Singapore in May on our world tour.
MAMI: It feels like there were tons of anime song lovers, of course, and those who love Japanese bands and the music itself. Singapore fans have a lot of freedom to create a space to enjoy our music. The ability to be able to have fun in your own way is awesome to have, and compared to a few years ago, it feels like the way [the fans] get excited is gradually evolving.
RINA: We were looking forward to getting to play in Singapore, so I'm really glad we were able to do so. I'm sure there were many people who saw us live for the first time, and we'd be happy if they took this opportunity they had today to come out to the [upcoming] solo show of ours here, or see us in Japan.
Q- Did you get to enjoy the sights and food in Singapore?
TOMOMI: Before our show, we all...
HARUNA: Went to Gardens by the Bay.
RINA: Although we've been to Singapore a bunch of times, we still hadn't been able to go there.
MAMI: So far, we went to go eat chili crab and also got to eat chicken rice.
TOMOMI: We were so impressed! Also, we might be able to go eat somewhere after the show? I'm looking forward to that.
Look forward to SCANDAL's second phase.
Q- Please tell us what's appealing about this event.
RINA: C3AFA isn't just about concerts, and what's characteristic about it is that you can also enjoy the exhibitors. Another thing that's appealing is that there's a continuous combination of artists that you don't really get to see together in Japan. We often play our solo shows [in Singapore] in venues that are half outdoors, but squalls are also a natural staging unique to Singapore. The view at night on the way back is the best.
TOMOMI: The local fans convey their love for our work, almost equal to our fans in Japan. It's a place where people like that have fun above all else.
MAMI: Those in Singapore really know our stuff—not just the new stuff, but the old stuff too. For example, although "GeGeGe no Kitaro" is an anime that we've been familiar with since we were kids, the locals here are just as familiar with it as we are, which makes us happy. There's a lot of things you can learn about for the first time at C3AFA, and I think it's also a place where you can learn about Japanese anime.
RINA: HARUNA and I went to see the booths being set up during rehearsals yesterday, and we had fun just by walking around. We were surprised to see a butler cafe while we were on a business trip, and when we saw the drink menu and noticed that boba's popular here too, it made us happy to find something in common with Japan.
Q- Lastly, please share a message for your fans.
MAMI: A year after starting our new label, we will be releasing our new album Kiss from the darkness in February 2020. We were able to convert our ways of living into songs, and we'd like everyone to enjoy SCANDAL's second phase. We hope to continue to keep sending out Japanese culture via events like this. I feel that we have good, inseparable bond with anime.
RINA: We've been able to continuously make music for 13 years without stopping once, and I think that it started in our indie days when audiences at our overseas shows liked our style. We too very much cherish our shows overseas, and we hope that'll never change. We'd like to convert what we've gained overseas into music and give it back to Japan as well. Please enjoy our various activities going forward too!
HARUNA: We really challenged ourselves sound-wise and lyrics-wise for Kiss from the darkness, our first album that'll be released via our new label. We take pleasure in being able to challenge ourselves to new things even after doing this for 13 years, and you should be able to notice that we still have so many things to do. We made this album while thinking of how we want to support those who listen to us. We want to come back even more cool after playing shows in Japan and overseas on our world tour.
TOMOMI: We do a world tour when we release an album, and every time we perform around the world, I feel that my understanding of each song deepens. That's something huge for me. The songs that we perform when play around the world and then go back to Japan, grow steadily. It makes it fun to tour every time.

It is a must-see, as rumored,
And it felt like two hours went by in a flash.
It tackles social issues in South Korea,
And there were parts that hit hard even without words,
Using only facial expressions and reflections.
This director's original work is amazing,,,
I haven't really seen many South Korean movies,

But little by little as I grew up,

The all-female Japanese rock band SCANDAL released their ninth studio album, Kiss from the darkness, earlier in February, the first set recorded under their own private label established under Victor Entertainment, a long-standing rock label in Japan.
The four-member band was formed in 2006 in Osaka and debuted two years later. They founded their new label, called "her," in 2018 on their 10th anniversary, and share that recording the new album in their new environment last year was like "making music feeling really relaxed in our own atelier.
"The result is an album that the members say "embodies how we live as a band and as individuals," and also "redefines what 'all-girl bands' are." Japanese society is gradually shifting toward a more gender-free mindset in general, but the members of SCANDAL don't mind being called an "all-girl band."
"People come up to us and say, ‘You're not an 'all-girl band' anymore, you're a rock band,' and we find that so weird. Who says you can't play rock while also enjoying being women?"
SCANDAL kicks off a world tour promoting Kiss from the darkness in March, with 19 domestic concerts and 12 engagements abroad with more dates to be announced. The members -- HARUNA, RINA, TOMOMI and MAMI -- sat down with Billboard Japan and spoke about their new label, the concept of their new album, their thoughts on being called an "all-girl band," and more.
Tell us how your private record label "her" came about.
HARUNA: We celebrated the 10th anniversary of our debut in 2018, and were wondering what else we could do that would be exciting. We figured it might be really fun to create our own label and make new music like we were debuting again.
RINA: We wondered whether or not we should actually do it, though. Our team at our former label supported us for a decade and helped build SCANDAL's style with us. But we did feel as though we were able to complete one thing under that team, so we decided to move forward in a new environment so that we can take on various things in an experimental way.
It's been over a year since you founded your label. Have you noticed any concrete changes up to this point?
TOMOMI: It felt like we were making music feeling really relaxed in our own atelier. I think the way we live our lives and our lifestyles are directly connected to our songs now. Of course we were always honest when tackling music in the past as well, but we used to think that our band's mission was to do songs that highlighted our brighter side, and wanted to play songs like that. But when you go through various things over the course of a decade, obviously there are days when you don't feel so upbeat. I feel that we're now able to make songs out of that kind of humanity that we have.
Did you have a concept for your new album from the beginning of your own label?
MAMI: We started making the album without any particular concept. We came up with the title after all the songs came together.
What kind of album do you think Kiss from the darkness turned out to be, then?
MAMI: I think it embodies how we live as a band and as individuals. In terms of our respective daily lives, and mentally as well.
TOMOMI: It shows our human side. It might be the first time we were able to include all kinds of emotions -- delight, anger, sorrow, pleasure.
Were there any songs on this album that were particularly challenging for you?
HARUNA: I think "Saishuheiki, Kimi" is a challenge in terms of the type of song included on an album. It's a pretty wild song -- the kind that changes the scene, so to speak, at a concert when we perform it -- and we hoped people would sense that "something is different (with SCANDAL)" by releasing it as a single. It expresses our current modes and our feelings towards this album through sound.
SCANDAL has always been pretty clear about presenting itself as an "all-girl band." Why?
RINA: We like being called an "all-girl band." People come up to us and say, "You're not an 'all-girl band' anymore, you're a rock band," and we find that so weird. Who says you can't play rock while also enjoying being women? It's one of our themes as a band. I wish more people would accept all-female bands in a more positive way.
Could you elaborate on what being an "all-girl band" means to you?
RINA: It just means we're a band with women members. But we want to celebrate being women, and think that it's better to remain extremely positive about being framed or labeled in that way.
HARUNA: I think this new album redefines what "all-girl bands" are. We used to mostly present our positive sides in our previous works, but three out of four of us will be in our 30s this year, and for SCANDAL to keep being an "all-girl band," it'll become more important to show what each member is feeling as human beings. I think we were able to express some of that in all of the songs on this album.
SCANDAL performs outside of Japan almost every year. Not very many Japanese rock bands perform so many concerts abroad like you do. Why do you think your music is accepted by international audiences?
HARUNA: I think that might have a lot to do with us being an "all-girl band." It's a part of J-pop culture. We noticed this after we began playing overseas a lot, but most countries don't have very many all-female bands.
Could you share your ambitions for this year?
RINA: Improving what we currently do. And while we tour every year, we intend to show our audiences a different SCANDAL that they've never seen before this year.

Rina blog #1 Spring
It's been a while since I blogged〜
I hope you're all doing well︎
The four of us are doing well as usual
These past few days I've been mostly spending time at home,
Taking it easier than normal
And watching movies and dramas, reading books, etc....
Each day is relaxing
Today,
We recorded for Catch-up.
Beautiful sakura are blooming
Close to the studio〜
They're such a cute, pale color
Being able to start Catch-up
During this time period,
And having a place
Where we can send out our voices each week
Truly makes me happy.
Listen at whatever time's good for you
Ah, as for my hair,
I added in a light pink〜
It's now a spring color︎
Rina blog #2 Vocals and clothes
We did vocal recording today
New songs are steadily being completed︎
This one's turning out really cool!
We did vocal recording today
New songs are steadily being completed︎
This one's turning out really cool!
It's getting warmer little by little,
And I've been wearing this Feedback! sweatshirt quite often
The sleeves are wide,
And at the end of them
Is a delicate beige lace.
The word "ESCAPE"
Is embroidered in the center on the front.
It's also cute to wear it
By zipping it up,
And it's also nice
To leave it open and show off any accessories.
We typically come out
With sweatshirts that are more casual,
But this is a unique design
That can show your femininity.
