i've just watched Scandal First Live DVD for the first time today. I never had the chance to see it before. it was good to see the girls performing from the early days, and it was brilliant. I don't understand why Jasia class them as a pop band, when they are clearly a rock band. Mami is just fantastic on the guitar.

I don't understand why Jasia class them as a pop band, when they are clearly a rock band. Mami is just fantastic on the guitar.

All 3 of their concert dvds are awesome. The first 2 are really cool, since they play in small clubs. For a rock band, I love that small intimate setting. Obviously the Budokan show is a lot more "produced", which is nice too. Speaking of live shows, it's just a few more days until the Osaka-jo Hall live. It's being broadcast later the same night, so hopefully it'll find it's way online quickly. Can't wait to see it (I assume it'll be released on dvd/blu-ray later this year as well).

As for them being labeled pop, I get the feeling it's cause they're girls. For a lot of people, a rock band seems to automatically mean a male band, which of course is ridiculous. Scandal is, and always has been, a rock band. Blame it on people not knowing, or caring, about actual genres. Sure, a lot of their songs have a poppy edge to them. Still doesn't make them any less of a rock band.

Azagrath, thanks for the info on the Osaka-jo concert. i hope it will be online. since Queens Are Trumps was released i've been waiting to see the band playing the songs live. I know there are live versions on youtube of 'Rock n' Roll', 'Bitter Chocolate' and 'Queens Are Trumps', but i'm dying to hear 'Rising Star', 'Bright' and 'Right Here'. so i hope they play those.

there are some videos of Scandal's live concert in Jarkata on you tube. sadley they are not very good quality. but i love the outfits the girls are wearing for the show.

I just got a review copy of the Loup=Garous UK Blu-ray release and there is a 15minute interview featurette with SCANDAL in the extras which looks at the motion capture sessions for their animated selves, sining with the cast and more behind the scenes stuff from the film!

SCANDAL have a 15th Single coming out on the 22/05/13

Preview of the song starts at 26 seconds and from what I can hear it is the chorus being played.

The title of the song is 「会わないつもりの、元気でね」(Awanai Tsumori no, Genki de ne)which translates roughly as "I don't intend to see you again, take care" and it will also be used as the theme song for the film 『俺はまだ本気出してないだけ』(I still haven't given it my all)

Translation from the official web site:

新曲は、SCANDAL史上最もストレートなロックナンバーで、かつ、聴けば聴くほど染みわたる、誰もが共感できるラブソングになっています。

The new song is one of SCANDAL's most straight rock song and the more you listen to it the more it soaks in. A love song that anyone can empathize with.

Also an translated interview of HARUNA:

“Though the protagonist is a middle-aged man, the movie can encourage anyone regardless of your age or sex. Therefore, we made the song without sticking too much to the theme of the movie. The new song became such a ’serious’ song that shows our spirits.”
