There‟s another group called Scandal, 4 girls who play rock music and they wear school uniforms. I think that‟s going to be a great thing in America because you never think of cute girls playing rock. You think of tough girls with tattoos and piercings and such, that image is not unusual. But it is very unusual to see very serious, good student kind of girls playing heavy rock. I think is just the type of thing that will wake a lot of Americans up. In the 90s, Shonen-Knife toured with Nirvana. Nirvana saw how cool they were because these were three tiny Japanese secretaries playing punk rock. If I just hear that description, I immediately want to go see them from the description alone. There‟s a lot of groups in Japan that could be doing stuff like that in the future and Scandal is one of them. So I always get behind them and talk about them outside of Japan.

I think SCANDAL is more of a pop group that plays a bit louder than typical. Their music mix is pretty much like boyband/ girlband groups in the late 90's.This guy seemed to be into the cuteness of these female groups (SCANDAL, AKB48, Perfume...) before their musical aspects
Since we're on the subject of SCANDAL, great post by YouTuber bagusbjelkenstedtSCANDAL★BAND -「YUMEMIRU KORO WO SUGITE MO」.MP4
Before you guys jump on a band wagon and criticize me... I said that he seemed clueless with saying SCANDAL playing heavy rock. This is the thread about SCANDAL, is this not? Duh!
Before you guys jump on a band wagon and criticize me... I said that he seemed clueless with saying SCANDAL playing heavy rock. This is the thread about SCANDAL, is this not?Just because the guy was in a rock band, whatever he said about rock is correct... Yeah, right! I've seen it all now
Muppet, can you tell me where Yumemiru Koko Wo Sugite Mo comes from. was it on one of there singles?
Relax dude, I was just teasing you.
I think so too, but still unsure tho ...a henna tattoo perhaps [/quote)Craze in Tokyo are hose (stockings??) with Tattoo looking patterns.....I would be surprised if those are actual tats.......
