My old self. Regain my sparkling!
I want to meet my 6th grade 12-year-old self. I aimed at this world in earnest just 10 years ago when
I was 12. I had admired Namie Amuro-san since I was in kindergarten, and when I was 12 I
remember in a fashion magazine seeing a notice about an audition for a school. I put in a
submission, which then became the chance to form SCANDAL. "I'm really going to become a
singer!" At that time, I honestly believed that and didn't doubt it. I'd want to meet the me who didn't
think entirely about superfluous things.

A ghost. Well, I'm just freaked out by them.

what would you shout out?

On the rooftop of a school; I'd yell out, "Love me "
Q26. If there was a time machine, where would you want to go: Past or future?
Past!
Right now, I can't help but want to go back to my sparkling self 10 years ago. Back then, first, I had a
longing to take lessons at school. The teachers and rivals were pursuing the same dream as I was...
"I have no choice but to do it. I'll do it!" I got into a fighting spirit and overflowed with it. The first time I
took a lesson, I was really moved. Now, after 3 years, that dream has been fufilled. Little by little, I
have a feeling that because I'm getting used to various things, I have strong feelings of wanting to be
reminded of my first love.
Q27. What advice would you give yourself from 10 years ago?
Be more sociable!
Q28. Please think about this realistically. What would you say if you stepped on a thumbtack? What
would be your reaction?
I'd say "OWWWWWwwwwwww!" while trying to take it out immediately.
Q29. Please think about this realistically. What would you do if in Shibuya someone came up to you
and said, "Yumiko!" while crying and clinging to you?
Calmly say, "I think you have the wrong person."
Q30. Please think about this realistically. If you received a love letter from a classmate that's kind of
your type, where would you read it?
The bathroom

Being sarcastic.
Q32. What would you say makes you the most happy?
"I admire you"; straightforwardly, that makes me happy.

Q38. When your mood is at its maximum worst...if something involuntarily clears up your

When I hear someone's love story.
Q41. When something very good happens to you, if you had to shout out a name of a vegetable or
animal, which would it be?
Give that cat over there a carrot present !!!!!
Did I actually write that? This is bad; I don't remember it at all (laughs). ...probably, when I'm happy,
they're feelings I wouldn't understand. But basically I like dogs (laughs). A vegetable I like is
tomatoes (laughs). Really...I wonder why I wrote this...

Shinshikyo-ken (a new prefecture)
Q43. Please make up the title of a movie you'd like to see.
Wizard and Witch
It's embarrassing, but I want to become a wizard. That's been a dream of mine since I was really
little (laughs). I love "Kiki's Delivery Service," and I also like the "Harry Potter" series. I want to go to
a wizarding school, study magic, and one day fly in the sky on a broom.
Q44. Please make up the title of a song you'd like to hear.
Jeongmal Sarang Haeyo
'Jeongmal' means "very," and 'sarang' means "I LOVE YOU." Since it didn't occur to me at all, if I
answer by arranging Hangul, I think it makes me want to listen to it...
Q45. Please make up the title of a TV program you'd like to see.
The Urban Legends of the World
I'd unintentionally start watching this. It's not like I myself can talk to everyone that has an urban
legend, and I have an interest in stories that I don't know about. It unexpectedly tends to be like
having a dream.

My mom's meat and potato stew

Q52. Please tell us something personal that has made you happy recently.
When I was about to pay when I had worn a mask and had ridden in a taxi, the driver told me,
"Beautiful people wearing masks don't have to pay "
Even though I didn't have any makeup on (laughs). But it made me happy.
Q53. Please tell us something personal that has ticked you off recently.
Currently, the typing manager on my computer is broken, and the screen is hard to look at.
Q54. Please tell us a romantic story that you have experienced.
In my first year of high school at the entrance ceremony, several days later I confessed to this boy
that I liked at first glance. But, for some reason we didn't go out.
On the day of the entrance ceremony, I saw this boy with a bandage on his nose. As soon as I saw
him, I thought, "Uwa, he's cool." But after that, I couldn't find that person. Afterward, "Ah, you're that
person," I realized, but looking at them, they were kind of different (laughs).
Q55. Please tell us a dramatic story that you have experienced.
The other day I unexpectedly met that person in Tokyo! I was surprised!
I was out shopping normally at Don Quijote when I heard, "Uwaa!" I wondered if he was a SCANDAL
fan, the Q54 person. It was regrettable that I had band activities; it seemed that he's also on the
entertainment road, and on his way to Tokyo to study acting (laughs). However, on that day, that's all
that we had been able to say. I haven't gotten in touch with him after that, but he excessively speaks
in Nagoya-ben. I was surprised that that's his hometown.
Q56. Lately, have you been interested in something that you weren't interested in before?
Cooking!
Q57. Please tell us what kind of feeling you get from your room.
I'll leave that to your imagination...
Right now, since my mom came over, it's really clean. That's why now I can show it off to everyone!
I'll do my best to keep it clean!
Q58. Please brag about something valued by you.
Please brag !
I don't really have anything I can brag about... If I have to say something, well, I've said it often, but I
can move my ears (laughs).
Q59. Please tell us a failure story.
There's a high chance I'll mess up the lyrics to "Space Ranger" during a live (laughs).
Q60. Please introduce a peculiar, valued person close to you.
The mothers of the members are unusually dark characters.
Q61. Please select a person. You can be with the person you like. Which member would you consult

with?
TOMOMI
Q62. Please select a person. Please tell us a member's back episode.
MAMI often falls unexpectedly.
Q63. Please select a person. Please tell us which member has "changed," so to speak.
It's impossible for me to understand RINA's luxury fetishes (laughs).
Q64. Say you find a boy of a member's liking around town. Whose type would you have confidence
in finding?
TOMOMI!
It's easy to understand what TOMO likes. Someone with stern eyes, someone that plays sports,
someone that doesn't have long hair. When I find that kind of person, "Hey, isn't that your type?" I
ask her, and I'm usually right. By the way, it seems like RINA wrote, "There are a lot of boys in
Shibuya that are HARUNA's type" , though there surprisingly aren't. Somehow it's attached to
thegyaru man-eater image, but that's not how it is.
Q65. What would you say if you were to confess to the person you like?
The usual "I like you..."
Q66. What would you want the person you like to say to you?
The usual "I like you..." is fine.

Shopping in Shibuya, then a meal, followed by saying bye.
Q69. Say you had a lover. What kind of situation would you feel the most jealous in?
When I'd see him talking with another girl that he's close with.
Q70. Say there's a SCANDAL mixer. Who would most likely be the most popular?
TOMOMI
Q71. Please picture each member's role and situation at that mixer.
MAMI Calm, and disappearing to check drinks.
TOMOMI Enjoying chit-chatting.
RINA Set on eating.
Q72. Current lover, best friend, unforgettable first love; Which categories would each
member be in?
Current loverMAMI
Best friendTOMOMI
Unforgettable first loveRINA
Q73. If you were to go solo, what would the title of your solo debut song be?
"Don't leave me on my own"

Since I haven't really thought about a solo debut, my mental state for the time being is "Please don't
leave me alone now." If SCANDAL had been after a solo song then I could imagine it, but SCANDAL
disbanding is something that I cannot imagine at all.
Q74. Please picture your solo career image.
One that's like Aikawa Nanase-san's might be good. A rock girl.
Q75. If you were to appear in a movie, what kind of role would you want to do?

Q76. If you had been born a foreigner, what name would you like?
Ashley
Q77. A big-shot senior calls your name wrong...what would you do?
I'd brush it off the first time, but after the second time, I'd tell them that they're wrong.

reaction be?
If he's cute then I might forgive him.
Q84. Suppose you farted accidentally during a live broadcast. What would your reaction be?
First of all, laugh.
Q85. Suppose five minutes before going on stage, your spirits are really low. What would you do to
get yourself excited?

MAMI-chan is so cute so cute

S-character
Q92. "I can't lose to anyone at ___!" Please tell us what would it be.
Can you dance bandman!
Q93. Please tell us your most memorable happening while in SCANDAL.
The tour in America. In many ways, it was a game!
America was, in any case, shocking. It was before our debut, and it was the first time I had gone
overseas. I was amazed that we were able to do lives overseas, and surprisingly I got addicted to
the climate in Los Angeles as well as the extent of freedom we had, so much so that I didn't want to
go back (laughs). I felt like we were drowning in lives, but we threw away the idea that we had to
play lives properly. First was to move our bodies, just as we thought, and the importance of
performances sunk deeply into our minds. For me it was a good experience, and it was the land
where we thought we wouldn't overcome that barrier and move forward.
Q94. Please tell us your personal, most memorable experience.
The day that SCANDAL formed.
Q95. Please tell us the ambitions that SCANDAL wants to achieve.
It has to be playing at Osaka-Jou Hall.
Q96. "That's exactly what we wanted to do this time!" Your burning desire is for what sort of song?
Disco-like, yet rock!
Q97. What exactly is BABY ACTION?
Our third album. It's packed with our "What do we want to do" thoughts.
Q98. What exactly is SCANDAL? Please answer in a haiku.
Right here in SCANDAL - this year everyone will all - become adults; yes
Q99. What exactly is rock? Please answer in a haiku.
It's about feelings - and staying true to yourself - and you must shout out
Q100. Lastly, which question do you think was the most useless?
All of them (laughs)
