News clip about the Budokan performance:

It seems like the girls pulled out all the stops.
Also, Tomo with a blue bass. Curious.

Sorry but those outfits..... SO not rock'n'roll.....

spec8 · « **Reply #763 on:** April 04, 2012, 11:43:52 PM »

^Yep, I get what you're saying but you guys stated them not being rock and roll a few times now and seriously, I don't think they ever were. Yes they have heavier stuff like Daydream, Kagerou or Doll but so does Stereopony and even so they are a Pop-Rock girls band, at least nowadays. Don't you think?

SCANDAL = The Most Powerful Japanese Girlie Pop Rock

So, no, they have never been "Rock 'n Roll" to begin with. But I agree that the dolly outfits for the Budokan show were aweful. They were not even scandalous if that's they tried to convey. I almost see Twisted Sister's Dee Snider in Haruna

Dee Snider would be proud.

I've always considered SCANDAL a rock group to be honest, even with the lame dance routines that they sometimes incorporate into their videos. Yes they are poppier than the likes of Dir-En-Grey et al but for me they're still qualify as a rock group. Image wise however they seem a little confused and are trying too hard for the mass market appeal for my tastes when the music and the fact they are four good looking girls with talent should be enough in my humble opinion.

But those puffball skirt outfits at Budokan are just .... words fail me. I just hope it is a one off. Just my personal opinion.

Yeah to me, CD albums with alot of printed artwork and photos inside is more tempting and as a fan, more worth having.. like a much cherished collectors item

I bought the Baby Action album magazine ed before this one, not from CDJapan but out shopping whilst holidaying in Hong Kong. You got the VIDEO ACTION Blu-Ray version though, the good thing about that is HD quality music videos; hope you got a hdtv to enjoy it with anyway.

Yeah, I have that Blu-ray disc but no mean to view it

I still use a 32" tube TV and normal DVD player. I've always thought about upgrading to an HDTV and a blu-ray player, but have never put it in action. One of the thing troubles me he most is with the new generations of HDTV, SmartTV... keep pumping out continuously. A TV is a large and expensive item that I want to last, or at least keep me in the trend for at least 3-5 years.

I bought that Blu-ray disc with hoping for some artworks, stage footage, first-press goodies... but got nothing from those. I had to burn a DVD to watch the content.

Dear Scandal fans,

We decided to close down the Scandal sub-forum. We had a good run, but the interest in Scandal seems to be declining and there is no longer need for a special Scandal area.

The picture and performance threads have been merged into this one, so you'll be able to go back and check all your favorite Scandal moments.
If you want to check the gear thread, or one of the other old threads you can view them in the Archive.
Please use this thread for all future Scandal news, pictures and everything else! Keep rocking!

Thank you very much, spec8, for posting that tour documentary! Just the right mix of travel, arival, touring, stage checks, peformances, after peformance pieces............Really enjoyed that and my admiration of SCANDAL cranked up another notch and is now set on 11.....hardworkding, serious musicians, beatiful young woman, lots of fun, lots of kawaii, go for it attitude.

And very big props to the fans in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore......wonderful!

^In spec8's clip, Haruna was wearing some very weird contact lenses....

I personally think SCANDAL's big image change was a big failure-->they tried to make it so that they'd be taken seriously as a mainstream rock band but I doubt it's going to happen.

They looked waaaaay better during the ESY Temptation Box era. Just wish they'd change back, but the chances are very slim.
