“Everyone viewing at Colours’ website, this is SCANDAL! This year, it’s our 3rd year at Colours. We’re practically regulars right? Yeah, all along we’ve been doing this with Colours and ESP, and there’s this sense of tension or rush. Right, well this year, we’re really looking forward to it as well. Whatever it is, see you guys on 7th July at Shinkiba! Bye bye!”

ESP presents Colours 2012 concert is held at Studio Coast, Shinkiba, Tokyo. This year is its 10th year Anniversary, boasting plenty of artists such as SCANDAL, BLOSSOM, Sugawara Sayuri, Breathe, Miura Sally and YU-A. The official website (and all other artist videos) can be found HERE.

With relation to SCANDAL, a Canta Official Shop has just been created! As we know, Canta is the undoubtedly famous “mascot” that has been part of the band from the start and now, fans can grab exclusive items of it. Items include tees, tote bags, key covers, bandannas, an actual plushie of it etc. You can now check out the website HERE. Please do note: The site is entirely in Japanese and you also need a Japanese address to order. There is no option for international buyers, sadly. Thanks to anon for the tip! ^^

Check out Mami’s brand new emerald hair colour! As taken from SCANDAL’s official Ameba blog, Mami wanted to first show off her brand new hair style at the start of their LIVE IDO Tour but decided not to after all; Instead posting it on the blog so everyone could see it! She’s also looking forward to hear everybody’s comments about it ^^

SCANDAL (along with Sekine Mari) taking dance lessons from the girls of Perfume. Watch as they dance to Perfume’s hit tune, “Baby Cruising Love” on an old episode of Music Japan!

SCANDAL speaking about the 3rd “Copy-Band Contest”, which has already been confirmed a while back. Haruna adds in that of course, at the finals that will take place at SHIBUYA-AX, the girls will also do a live (concert) along with the crowning of the winners. The girls also throw in a few thoughts from the 2nd “Copy-band” Contest; Rina feels that between the 1st and 2nd contest, you could really see a level-up in the competition in the 2nd one (so there shall be more to look forward to in the 3rd one). The video can be watched in full over HERE at TEENA. (I’m sorry, I can’t embed the FLV video…) 17 days to go till the “Copy-Band” Contest officially begins & only 4 days to go till SCANDAL’s LIVE IDO Tour 2012!

Reported yesterday, it has been determined that SCANDAL will get a 3rd “Copy-Band Contest”! Fans might remember that in the previous year, the contest received a whopping 486 entries in total. It is expected to be a even bigger event this year. The finals have already been decided that it will be held on 9th December 2012 at the SHIBUYA-AX in Tokyo. Last year’s winners “dolls”, have been given the wonderful opportunity of playing alongside SCANDAL. In addition, the 3-member band will be the opening act for SCANDAL at the girls’ event “Band Yarou yo!! Vol.3”, which is set to take place on 16th July 2012. Entries to take part in this contest can be submitted from 1st June 2012 (Fri) onwards. Info credits to natalie, translations by me.
