SCANDAL is a Japanese girl band formed in Osaka in 2006 consisting of four students who met at a vocal/dance school. The band is named after a sex shop in Osaka which occupied the same building as a jamming studio where they practiced in their early days. Originally training to be dancers and singers, the girls took up musical instruments on recommendations from teachers. One thing led to another and...Due to their songs being featured on the various endings of animes and videos games, the band has achieved a somewhat international fanbase and has performed at SXSW, Sakura-Con and AM 2 in the USA, Ani-com in Hong Kong and Japan Expo in France. They have also gone on very successful Asian regional tours almost every year since 2010, and have went even further in 2015 with a 10 concert world tour in 8 countries.In August 2023, SCANDAL have been officially recognized by Guiness World Records for being the longest-running female rock band with an unchanged line-up.SCANDAL are: Haruna Ono (vocals, guitar) Tomomi Ogawa (bass, vocals) Mami Sasazaki (guitar, vocals) Rina Suzuki (drums, vocals)Studio albums Best Scandal (2009) Temptation Box (2010) Baby Action (2011) Queens Are Trumps -Kirifuda wa Queen- (2012) Standard (2013) Hello World (2014) Yellow (2016) Honey (2018) Kiss from the Darkness (2020)Not to be mistaken for the American New Wave band known for their song "The Warrior".

comment
Darker and Edgier: "Scandal Nanka Buttobase" had surprisingly edgy lyrics compared to some of their earlier songs and a very hard guitar opening. "Roppongi Suicide" and "Rock & Roll Widow" from the R Girls' Rock EP are heavier and edgier than much of their usual music. "Metronome" from their 5th album STANDARD is also relatively heavy. Also from STANDARD, "Namida yo Hikare", a straight up pop punk track. Rainy is also quite heavy. It was also used for the Japanese release of the film Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. The film is entitled Shadowhunter in Japan. Rainy is also significant because it is completely written and arranged by the band itself. Heaven na Kibun, described as a grunge rock type song by HARUNA. "A.M.D.K.J.", described by Rina as Scandal's first angry song.

comment
Hidden Depths: The girls dance! The girls met at a renowned vocal and dance school in Osaka and thus are trained singers and dancers. Haruna and Tomomi are the best two dancers amongst the girls, Haruna even appearing as a backup dancer in a movie before SCANDAL got famous. Many of their PVs feature dancing in various quantities, most heavily in "Pin Heel Surfer". RINA. More than just being the drummer, she can play the guitar, she can play the keyboard, and she can sing and dance as well. Mami actually was a drummer and came from a musical family. She picked being lead guitar as she wanted to do something different.

comment
Gratuitous English: Wide usage. Being Japanese and playing J-Pop/Rock, the girls are not immune to this cultural phenomenon. Unlike many of their compatriots however apart from the usual problems with pronounciation, SCANDAL's English usage is usually done correctly. One song, "SCANDAL no Theme" is done entirely in grammatically correct English. They've also covered their own song "Your Song" completely in English, complete with slightly gratuitous (and pointless) use of acronyms

Food Songs Are Funny: A recurring theme for almost all their album releases. Barring their first 2 albums, they had "Koi no Kajitsu" (Love Fruit) from their indies mini album, "Appletachi no Dengon" (Message of the Apples) from BABY ACTION, "Bitter Chocolate" from Queens are Trumps, "Orange Juice" from STANDARD, "Canned Beer" from HELLO WORLD and "Konya wa Pizza Party" from YELLOW. Dobondobondo's "Sekapero", where they list off food around the world for more or less the entire song.

Lead Bassist: No Body Loves The Bassist? Definitely not the case for Tomomi Ogawa. Being the second vocalist, having a unique sounding voice, her bubbly Genki Girl personality, her sense of humor, Scandal's top instrumentalist (the other ladies call her their prodigy, as she picks up songs the quickest and makes fewest mistakes) and her attractiveness as well as talent as a lyricist makes her a favourite of many fans.

Greatest Hits Album: SCANDAL Show. However unlike a regular greatest hits album, it is not a single collection. Instead it is a collection of songs the girls themselves like hence the inclusion of non-single live standards and B-sides such as SCANDAL Baby, Switch, SCANDAL no Theme, Everybody Say Yeah etc. ENCORE Show. A collection of B-Sides, plus one rerecorded track and one new song. Hit No.1 on the ORICON daily charts on release day and 3rd overall on the weekly album chart. Their most successful release as of February 2013. SCANDAL - a double album collection consisting of songs that fans voted for as their favorites. Also includes two new songs, "Freedom Fighters" and "Hello".

Lyrical Cold Open: "Haruka" and "Chiisana Honoo". Haruna's singing begins the song. "Midnight City" starts with Rina's vocals.

A Day in the Limelight: Rina had such treatment in their Budokan and Osaka concerts, possibly because she's always positioned behind the other members and because she had such little singing time. The Budokan concert gave her a 10 minute drum solo, while for their first Osaka concert she danced and sang along to her subunit's song "Koi no Hajimari wa Diet", all by herself (Haruna's part was played from a backing track)

Lighter and Softer: "CUTE!", the B-side to "Pride" - The song was used as a promo for Sanrio's adorable wittle plushy named ''Cinnamoroll''◊ therefore is suitably cute sounding. "Namida no Regret", "one piece" and "Chiisana Honoo" - The only 3 ballads released as of 2015 "Pin Heel Surfer" - Disco infused soft rock. Has caused some dissent among fans for being "too pop". The PV caused even worse backlash due to what some fans consider as "too much dancing" and "being too idol". "Nai Nai Night 2014" - A completely experimental song featuring Haruna on guiro, Tomomi on tambourine, Mami on recorder and Rina on cajon. Add to that Tomomi's naturally high voice and it sounds nothing like a song that a rock band will produce. "Love Me Do" - 1980's American pop feel as described by HARUNA. Comes complete with a PV featuring the girls interacting with guys that will make male fans green with jealousy from the way the girls look at them. "LOVE" - A song that wouldn't sound out of place playing on a beach.

Vocal Tag Team
 SCANDAL (Japanese Band) (Music) / int_f0f4b47
comment
Vocal Tag Team: Haruna Ono is the band's lead vocalist but bassist Tomomi and guitarist Mami sing lead vocals in large portions of many songs. In most (if not all) of their albums, there is at least one song for each guitarist to take lead in. Although Rina's bio description mentions vocals, most people tend to forget Rina is part of the tag team as well, having previously taken lead vocals for one verse in Sunny Day Sunday (not helped by the fact that she doesn't really sing, so most people don't recognise her voice even if they heard her). This is further driven in by the special B-Sides of the "Taiyou Scandalous" single, when the girls break up into two subgroups, and sing as duos - Almond Crush (Rina and Haruna) have the bubbly pop song "Koi no Hajimari wa Diet", and Dobondobondo (Mami and Tomomi) rap in "Cherry Jam". In the band's 6th studio album Hello World, Rina sings lead on the song "Oyasumi" (Goodnight)

 SCANDAL (Japanese Band) (Music) / int_f74ccef4
comment
School Uniforms are the New Black: Used to be their signature look. In the beginning, the girls almost always wore uniforms in concerts and music videos, invoking some fetish appeal for the fans. With the release of their 3rd album and the coming of age of their youngest member, the uniforms/costumes then changed towards something more mature. Recently, the band has stopped wearing matching uniforms/costumes.

Last Note Hilarity: "Maboroshi Nights" - At the end of the song, Haruna makes a kissing sound and says "THANK YOU!". Can be heard when turned up high enough. "Kagerou" - Someone pulls out the cord from the bass amp while it's still on, causing it to buzz. "Cherry Jam" - Tomomi and Mami break out into giggles at the very end.
