Originally broadcast on MTV Japan, the girls of SCANDAL visit the beautiful Sapporo during Winter! It’s the Winter festival & the host brings the girls around individually to experience the sights, including watching pros snowboard, enjoying authentic Hokkaido crabs and viewing snow sculptures, sights that can’t be seen in Tokyo. The girls also create their own memories by taking personal snapshots. Do check the video out! (:

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.

  • Rina: My favourite is definitely Ichigo (Kurosaki)…because I tend to like all the main characters. (I LOL-ed here.)

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~!

SCANDAL’s Mami & Rina have just updated the official SCANDAL blog with their amazing Asian Tour experience! Especially Rina’s post, it’s a pretty detailed one about their visits to Taiwan, Hong Kong & Singapore. I honestly didn’t even know “Baby Action” topped the Singapore J-POP/K-POP charts for 2 weeks straight, till Rina blogged about it, and of course, I’m happy for the girls. For the full English translation, it’s over HERE. Huge thanks to ganstream1 @ SH for the trans! All photo credits to SCANDAL! Click HERE for their official blog!

Guess which SCANDAL member just tweeted this picture of herself wearing this shirt? SCANDAL, along with many other artists such as AKB48, Horikita Maki & Becky, were present at 24時間テレビ / 24 hours television programme this year, which is broadcast live from The Nippon Budokan, the main event venue. It has started since 20 AUGUST, 6:30pm and just ended on 21 AUGUST, 8:54pm. As a charity programme since year 1978, the aim of it is to introduce existing conditions of social welfare in Japan as well as around the world, and to appeal the need for assistance towards disadvantaged people. This year, SCANDAL were pleased to be part of that effort. Popular Johnny’s group Kanjani 8 were the hosts for this year’s event. When the clip of SCANDAL’s performance has been uploaded on YT, I’ll share it here. Anw, guessed who’s the member wearing that shirt yet? (:

Posted a little while ago over HERE, those are the links to CDJapan if would like to order SCANDAL’s upcoming single & album releases. Here on a more serious note, if you guys follow the Japanese music industry aka the Oricon charts etc, you’d know sales matter a lot when it comes to getting people to take note of you. I know some fans will go: “I love them & I love their music so those sales are just a number”, but the harsh reality of the industry is that sales do matter a heck lot. Not here to preach, however, it’ll be great if we’re able to support SCANDAL by buying their CDs (rather than just downloading everything off the net). By buying their original works is one of the best ways to show them how much you support them, even if you can’t fly to Japan to see them. Also, I’m hoping that SCANDAL will get more attention for the fact that they’re too talented & too different for all of it to go to around unnoticed. Below are some artists that will be releasing their new singles/albums on the exact same week as SCANDAL. Not to scare anyone but SCANDAL really chose to release their new single on one tough week. FTIsland: Let It Go! [single, 3 editions] Flumpool: Donna Mirai nimo Ai wa Aru/Touch [double-A-single, 2 editions] V-last.: currently untitled [single, 2 editions] Namie Amuro: Naked/Fight Together/untitled [triple-A-side single, 2 editions] Oshima Mai (ex-AKB48): Second Lady [single, 3 editions] Momoiro Clover Z: Battle & Romance [single, 3 editions] Do As Infinity: Chikai [single, 2 editions] SKE48: Paleo wa Emerald [single, 3 editions] sphere: currently untitled [single, 2 editions] IDOLING!!!: Don’t think.Feel !!! [single, 3 editions] LM.C: Hoshi no arika [single, 3 editions] Buono!: title TBA [mini-album, 1 edition] Nana Tanimura: Nana Best [album, 3 editons] Snoop Dogg: Greatest Hits [album, 1 edition] Album release week looking pretty good. Single release…not so great, since there are quite some huge names releasing on the exact same week. However, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t buy their single. The position isn’t as important as the sales figure, so hopefully that’ll increase to show that more people are really noticing them. Even 1 copy helps, so please do pre-order yours if you like them ^^
