You're welcome guys and yuup like lambchopsuey said it's on their myspace as well
oho~ I wanted to find more interviews and helllooo~ I bumped into their interview they had in France :'D
It's subbed in french though o.o
http://www.asia-tik.com/interview-scandal.phpBut from what I know, here's a rough translation of what they say [meaning I translate word for word and put them together lol.]. Although it's not 100% accurate, I still have the general idea on what they're saying so I apologize for any mistakes. I am rusty
So feel free to put this up on a separate window and scroll through the texts while the vid plays~
SCANDAL at Japan Expo - Friday July 4th '08For a start, can we ask you to introduce yourselves? [Somewhere along those lines.]M: My name is Mami and I'm the guitarist. It's nice to meet you.
T: My name is Tomomi and I'm the bassist. It's nice to meet you.
R: My name is Rina and I'm the drummer.
H: My name is Haruna and I'm the singer. Nice to meet you [?]
Hm, it basically asks them on how they met and how they became a band/got into musicM: The four of us all went to the same dance school, and we talked about playing instruments because we never played musical instruments before we met [?]. And we thought if we played it would be cool! [?] So we formed a group/band and we started to play.
Why did you guys choose the name "SCANDAL" to form the group?T: It is true that the name "SCANDAL" can be 'shocking' for a group name, but before our debut, when we started to play and had a studio for rent [?] in that very studio, there was a store for adults with the name 'Scandal', and it seemed funny to have it as our group name! And even if the name can be shocking, our music isn't categorized. [I think meaning, not like the name? o.o] One is dressed in school girl clothing while the other of rock, the name of the group is SCANDAL, we are then difficult to have around. Therefore you can do what you want freely and finally, the name gives a lot of courage for the future. [?] And so we like the name very much!
In the group, who composes the music and who does the lyrics? [?]R: As for the lyrics, we four, are in charge of it. There's a theme/One takes a theme and we write about it and then meet up to discuss on what we think is interesting for the final text. For music, there are other people who compose it, [I think she said depending on the music as well] [?] but for arrangements we try to do them little by little. And for composition, _________ [?] [Something about learning + liveliness]
Therefore it can be that we will make our own music soon [?]
Which artists inspired/influenced you guy? /Which artists had the most influence/inspiration?R: We each have different taste [in music] but we all like Sum 41.
We rented one of their dvds and watched it together and their performance on stage really surprised us. One would then want to do that on stage as well, therefore in any case the four of us adore this group.
Anime-Tik: It is true, that in connection, find the same energy as Sum 41 [I believe he/she was referring to SCANDAL]
Scandal: That pleases us, since we like to do that [?]
You have on the internet, a short anime film. Do you think you can carry out a full length film some day? [?]Scandal: Yes, for a full length we will like very much.
M: Though on the other hand, we would like to put our own voices on the full length film, besides I even have an idea! That would be to make a concert with anime images and we would sing over it. It would be great!
August 8th is when "Yah! Yah! Yah! Hello Scandal" goes out in Japan. Can you tell us about it?T: There will be a total of 4 titles. 3 songs are singles that we already have and the 4th, is new.
*Anime-Tik then says something about how the singles just go out of stock and are collected [?] And Tomomi agrees by saying that they heard about them already being collected...? Mami also agrees by saying that the 3 singles totally run out.
You came to carry out your first concert in France at Japan Expo, what are your impressions?M: It is great! The french is really very "hot"!
This can be thankful [translated as grace. Like in favour of] that our site or our page on myspace, there is people who sang with us. It was really surprising and nice at the same time. We were really touched by that because the language is different but despite that, the public reaction was really nice. When someone said "Everyone, put your hands up!" the public responded right away and that was really nice.
And that gave you the feeling of returning to France to carry out new concerts?Scandal: Yes, we want to return to France
What are your future projects?M: Well, right after the release of the mini album, there will be a concert at Nagoya. Plus...from August 18, we will go around/film everywhere in Japan. [?]
For you guys to know [each other] again better, could you tell us a few things about the member towards your left? M: Well, Tomomi in Kanji, the characters tell us: To amuse/ Comfortable.
*Rina says something but no subs
M: And acutally, I understand her very very well and during shoots [film-wise I believe] and in the same room... *Mami basically says that Tomomi is funny > Cracking up jokes, etc lol*
And for me, Tomomi is a person who is very fun and very nice.
T: Well for me, Rina is very strong. She has enormous strength in her even!
R: Huh? But that's not true
T: Anyway, she has this strength in her
R: -interrupts again-
T: but she also has a feminine value and she is really very nice
R: Well, to say about Haruna... You can see her as a little bit shy and reserved, but actually she is very funny, she always tells jokes. And for me, she is like a big sister. She is a little bit like a leader to the group, because for example with Mami, Tomomi [it says tomoko but I'm thinking that's Tomomi O_O] and me at the same time. When someone laughs, it is Haruna that stops us, so that everyone can work. This shows us she is in a way [a leader].
H: Well, how to say... Mami in a word, is that she is very mysterious. At a start/At first, she can give the impression that she is a strange girl but actually, she is very funny and... It is impressive on how she happens to react very fast by account on what someone says.
M: Is that true?
R: Aha yea!
H: She leaves ____. but when we need to think/reflect calmy, she happens to think/reflect seriously.
M: Really?
R: Aha yea!
H: She really has two different sides in her, when she's fun, she's fun, [in other words, playful], and when you have to do a few things seriously... She puts well between the line of the two opposed attitudes.
A word for your European fans?T: Hello, we are SCANDAL!
M: We had fortune in carrying out a concert in France and we thank you a lot for your welcome so heart-warming that you granted to us and we are upset for those who did not come to see us play at Japan Expo. But we wish to have more occasions to hold in France. on the internet, on TV, and surely through our CD. And someday, we will return to France to play again. Thank you very much.
T+R: Vive la france!
T: Merci! [Thank you in french] < LOL cuuute.
R: We like you a lot <3
---End----
Hope you guys enjoyed that
