This is a new rip and sounds like a genuine 320 kbps to me and has some huge scans too!!:

Quickly skipped through it. I like it much better than Temptation Box

My fav part of the album is the "Love Survive - Sparkling - Burn" section

I also dig "One Piece."

The other songs... I need to get used too or are a bit standard.

Pretty solid album, but like Temptation Box, it's missing some classics... Their old song have a more "OMG YES EPIC" feel to them

Just bought a copy from E-Bay of the Hong Kong release which is the Limited Edition version consisting of CD + DVD + Folder cover. I thought they may have meant the magazine cover but Yes Asia says it is a folder. Either way it still works out cheaper for me (I'm in the UK) to get it from the E-Bay seller!!

Just listened to this. Much better than Temptation Box it has to be said. Aside from a couple of sings it's much more of a rockier affair and a lot of the tracks are far superior to the singles.

My favourites so far are One Piece, Very Special, Burn, Sparkling, Appletachi no Dengon and Sono Toki, Sekai wa Kimi Darake no Lane. If have a complaint is that some of the melodies are a little nursery rhyme-ish for me and the vocals quite often a little too helium for my tastes. The musicianship comes to the fore a lot more with Mami throwing out some more solos, Tomomi getting some funky bass lines in and Rina's drumming sounding more focused.

Overall a vast improvement on the last album and singles and a positive step forward for the band!

DVDISO for Baby Action can be found here http://asiaworld.foroactivo.net/t855-dvd-iso-scandal-baby-action
5 parts on Fileserve, 2.15 Gb total. Note that the URLs are thru ilix.in which redirect to Fileserve.

Regarding the album, I love it overall. I actually listened to it 4 times today: twice at works, and twice at gym. The new songs are upbeat, very much SCANDAL-like.

I dunno if it is already posted or being done at the moment... are there any magazine scans of the Magazine Edition online yet?

My copy haven't arrived yet. I should have ordered from CDJapan.

Scandal did manage to make a record for this century by having three consecutive albums in the top five of the Oricon charts. With Baby Action at #4, Temptation Box at #3, and Best Scandal at #5
A feat last accomplished by girls' band "Pink Sapphire" in 1991

My copy arrived today! Watching the DVD now!

BigDnm01 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 18, 2011, 11:33:16 PM »

My copy arrived today. Listening to the album right now. will watch dvd later. This is why I bought a Region free dvd player just a month ago, and been watching all sorts of concert and dvds.
looking thru the Magazine, ohh my god, how awesome is THAT! and MAMI looks so cute in sweats, a hoodie, those shoes and most of all, Her Meatball-head hairstyle (sorry, Sailor Moon influenced).

I really want those photos in digital formats, has anyone uploaded it?

SomethingWild · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2011, 04:30:10 PM »

^You actually have the magazine? Nice

How about shooting some preview pics so that we can get an idea of what it looks like?

rollingproject · « **Reply #32 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:28:39 PM »

@bigdnm01 please inform us if you found scans of the mag. sharing is caring. hahaha.

the dvd is really worth watching even if you dont know nihongo. so i suggest, get the copy in whatever way you can. hahaha!!

BigDnm01 · « **Reply #33 on:** August 21, 2011, 06:23:01 PM »

^Will do, and I ask you all to do the same.

And @ BarrieV's request, although I can't do scans, I can use my phone's camera to take some Preview pics, will upload in a moment.

EDIT: Now I use my phone camera, and I don't use camera too often, so sorry about the quality.

EDIT: I just check on some of the pictures, it's stretched like crazy. I didn't optimize it, this time I'm uploading it in optimize for message boards. do wait a while. Also the picture is really bad when u view it in full, there are dots or grains everywhere. I'm sorry, I dunno how to use the camera. But these are just previews, We all are awaiting high quality scans.

Fix it, I hope, when you click on it, it may stretch, but once you save it it doesn't, I dunno why... anyway it's the best I could do.

here are the ones i found

can someone scan more for the people who dont have the Magazine plz, BTW Rina and Tomomi looks really cute in these images

BigDnm01 · « **Reply #35 on:** August 21, 2011, 07:35:24 PM »

^That's awesome, I wonder how they do it. these are scans, right? either they edit or that they have the original photos, which is awesome.
And I don't mean to disagree, they are all cute and pretty, But Mami is just totally adorable, too bad there's only one.

My package arrived today, it took more than 2 weeks from CDJapan, but I wentt with lowest shipping charge anyway. Needless to say, I didn't win the poster lottery. I'm curious if any oversea customers wins that poster

I can't read Japanese, but overall, I love this magazine. The pictures are vividly clear and professional, unlike the first 2 albums. It's a hard cover book. I just wish that they have the CD in a separate sleeve.

I love these pics of Tomomi

Thoese eyes are killers
