My routine has been to go to shops that sell cloth, go back home, make little pouches and do some embroidery.
ab: What are you hobbies? Is there anything you're really into at the moment?
I'm totally into making pouches and doing embroidery (lol)! I've made so many pouches without even realizing! I also sometimes make them when I'm listening to my favorite music. I go to stores that sell cloth to find the material for the pouches. And find myself saying, "oh, that's nice" and "oh, that's good, too" (lol)! As for nails and fashion, I like to add a little color. I used to have nothing on my nails and wear black and white outfits a lot. Now I like to add warm, bright colors that reflect the season, somewhere in my look.
ab: There's a lot of people who pay attention to your style and what you're wearing. But where do you get your inspiration from?
When we go abroad I try to pick-up on what the local kids are wearing. When we were on tour in Europe we went around secondhand clothes stores. I try to research what's popular and then incorporate it into what I'm wearing. That's how I usually do it.

ab: By the way, what do you usually get up to on your days off?
Recently my routine has been to go to shops that sell cloth, go back home, make little pouches and do some embroidery. I've kind of been on a bit of a loop (lol).
When we are off for 2 to 3 days straight, if it's cold I'll try to make a curry or a stew, food that will keep for a while. Sometimes, when I'm making a curry, I'll slightly re-arrange it and turn it into a doria. I cook what I feel like, so sometimes I change what I'm preparing.
ab: Are there any dishes that you’ve tried abroad that you've found delicious, or anything that you want to try and make?
There is! In local gift stores you can find kits to help you make dishes, like tom yum goong (Thai soup). They sell pastes so that you can create the taste yourself. I want to buy something like that and take it back home. I really do think that I want to try and make that kind of thing!

Whether you are watching or listening, I think it's always super important to have a good time.
ab: It's the bands 10 year anniversary, do you have any goals for the future? Is there anything you want to do?
Yeah! There are stages I want to perform on and many places that are waiting for us to visit. Whether it's domestic or overseas, performing live is such an important thing, I want to keep doing it. It might not be possible to go abroad so often. Last year's European tour was our first time touring around many European cities. If we have the chance to tour overseas again, we'd like to stop in even more places around Europe, Asia, etc. That would be so awesome!
ab: MAMI, this time you came to Fukuoka alone, do you have a message for the rest of the band?
Well, it's been 10 years, let's keep going! I just wanted to say that again (lol)! That's not really something I would say to their faces (lol)!
ab：Yeah, I get it (lol). Hopefully the other members will have a chance to see this interview! Finally, do you have a message or any thoughts you want to share with your fans?
I'm really conscious to perform "spellbinding live" shows. When you perform live at a big venue, though the mood can change depending on the stage, outfits and time of the performance, whether you are watching or listening, I think it's always super important to have a good time. I want the audience to have great time in all kinds of ways.

SCANDAL
Formed in Kyobashi, Osaka in 2006. After debuting in 2008 with "DOLL," went on to win the Japan Record Award Best New Artist with their next song "Shojo S" the following year. By March 2012 had achieved the honor of performing live at Nippon Budokan in lightening fast speed. The next year, in March 2013, tickets for their performance at the Osaka-jo Hall sold-out in 5 minutes. With an impressive track record, this was a dream come true for the group. In June 2014 became the second band after Princess Princess to succeed in performing 2 days at Yokohama Arena. Influenced by SCANDAL, many girls have been inspired to start playing instruments. In November 2015, the 6th SCANDAL cover band contest was held, with 637 entries coming from around the world, proof of the fact that they are hugely popular with teenage girls. In 2015, as the headlining act, undertook their largest world tour to date, which included 41 performances in 9 countries. Over 40,000 fans saw their arena tour of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. In August 2016 celebrated 10 years since their formation. To celebrate, over 10,000 people saw their outdoor concert in Osaka, the location where the band was formed. Both in name and practise, are a girl group that represents Japan on the world stage.
