SCANDAL’s Budokan LIVE, as featured on Mezamashi Terebi on 29th March. The quick news report speaks of SCANDAL’s success as the fastest Japanese girl band to perform at the Nippon Budokan, after only a mere 5 years 7 months since their formation. The news also speaks of the entire concert being sold-out in 15 minutes.

For the week of 20th Feb to 26th Feb, SCANDAL managed to score a #6 position on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart for their ‘HARUKAZE’ single! In total, the girls sold 25,921 copies, higher than the first-week sales of several of their other singles. In comparison:
Love Survive: 13,507
Haruka: 21,974
Pride: 16,579
From 1:45 onwards is the the “making-of” for SCANDAL’s “HARUKAZE” PV. The girls filmed this PV in Yamanashi prefecture (famous tourist spot, esp for the Mt. Fuji) & of course, the girls described what the song is about when interviewed. You’ll also get to check out the sillier side of the girls (mostly Tomo) from behind-the-scenes. ^^

Broadcast on TV Tokyo yesterday evening, SCANDAL were guests on the Japanese show “Sakiyomijan BANG!”. The girls come in at around 0:55 onwards. Below is a summary of part 1 of the show. Pardon me for the lack of details now:
This episode of Sakiyomi is a big “BLEACH” special. As SCANDAL’s latest single is also the OP for the anime, the girls take on a “Bleach” quiz when one of the hosts question their love for the manga series. Midway through the quiz, the SCANDAL members are asked on which Bleach character is their favourite as well.
Haruna: Histugaya (Toshiro)-san. He doesn’t speak a lot, which makes him look cool.
Tomomi: I like Urahara Kisuke. I really like people that are mysterious.
Mami: I liked Ichimaru Gin…it’s not because he doesn’t say that much but because he gives off a sense of confidence which I think is really cool.
Host: Everyone seems to like characters that sort of have a ‘shadow’ looming over them I see.
SCANDAL wins the quiz in the end by being the first to hit 3 points. Then, the girls are interviewed on their latest single, which is said to be a meaningful song but with a sort-of ‘dark’ feel to it. (Following on by a little more HARUKAZE talk.) SCANDAL is then asked to touch on their Kansai-bens as well, and when asked which Bleach character SCANDAL will be, Mami asnwers Rukia (Kikuchi) b/c she’s a very strong female character. Following on is a lot more Bleach talk.
Part 2 of the show can be found HERE. SCANDAL takes on the “SCANDAL” challenge there as they requested the show to play their “Harukaze” PV. (Which I thought Mami did really well in.) Enjoy the show~!

It’s confirmed that SCANDAL will be performing their new single, “HARUKAZE” live on TBS’ “Coming Soon!!” music programme on 20th Feb 2012 (Mon). Hosted by SMAP’s Nakai Masahiro, other performing guests will include SDN48, Motohiro Hata, V6 & Erina Mano.
