^ Thanks so much for the links! A good find.

The intro for Koshi Tantan ... mind blown. Like their live version of Ring! Ring! Ring!
I guess it's just the difference in cultural perspectives.
I don't think it's so much a difference in cultural perspectives so much as individual taste, perhaps, and what you expect in someone who is a musical artist; not all of them are performers, and similarly, not all performers are great musical artists (eg Britney Spears, from way back when).
Personally and not speaking for anyone else, I find that SCANDAL, on the other hand, do set themselves apart as a band as a whole, performance and everything, and the attitude to go with it.
