From CDJapan:

Availability    Pre-Order Sold Out
This item may become available again after the release date, depending on the publisher stock.

I guess if you tease the title of a SCANDAL photobook as "Naked" of course it's going to sell out!!

Shoot! I'm tempted to buy this book. Hopefully the pre-order is available again prior 10/8. CDJapan has 1,000 points offer if paying 5000+ yen thru Paypal  between 9/16-10/8

woo.. i'd like to own a Scandal photobook.. regardless of if I can read the interviews or not

[SomethingWild]

^Yeah, there are always plenty of pics to enjoy 

I don't like/understand the concept of calling it "their 1st artist book." As far as I know, the Temptation Book was also a mix of pics, interviews and sheet music... so why would this be that much different.

Aw well, any new Scandal book is welcome.

It's available for preorder again and CDJapan has extended the 1000 bonus point deal to 10/15. I just got mine ordered today to take advantage of both 

Update 10/14: CDJapan notified me today that the book is available for shipping in November. I guess it won't be in my hands until close to the end of November

I got mine today! 
This book is a must-have for SCANDAL fans. So many pictures  . I attempted to scan a couple pics for you guys, but the way of the book format (10-1/8" x 6-1/8") makes it impossible to scan pics clearly unless tearing the whole book apart. The cover picture by BarrieV is actually the sleeve. The softcover is pink with stars all over it. Let me tell you how awesome this book is:
- A wealth of poster-style pictures from Doll to BA. I'm honestly overwhelmed with the amount and quality of these photos. These photos are the same quality as in BA Magazine if not better. I can say they're as close to photo lad quality as you can get. My favorite is Tomomi, but Rina steals the show in these pictures. I attach a picture of Rina that I really like.



- Photos of their Asian Tour, dominantly in Taiwan. Many are photos of their performance and behind the scene. These are in collage style in the first 22 pages.
- Interview archives of them with CD&DL mags. Strangly there's no mentioning of the Cure Doll Vol 1 featuing the "Taiyou" uniform (I had that girlie mag from AM2 strip though  )
- Pictures taken by Rina over the years
- Member's fortune telling

Overall, I bought this book for the photos. With SCANDAL changing their styles recently, this book is a good collection of the old SCANDAL looks. You can skip the Video Action DVD, but this book is a must-have. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
