Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the music video features SHELTER, the Shimokitazawa live house which gained fame as the IRL inspiration for Bocchi the Rock’s STARRY.
I had preordered the limited edition of the new album and can recommend the included the concert. ;) The quality is equal to the Bluray of the previous album.
That band really seemed to have come out of nowhere with this song, at least according to their YouTube channel… It is a really catchy song though! Their subsequent releases didn’t become quite as successful, but they’re worth keeping an eye on!
Just listened to it, that’s a really nice track! 👌
Btw if you could also add/edit the artist and song title in romaji in the post, that would be perfect. Sorry to bother you again, I should have written this in my first comment.
Absolutely timeless and a banger! I think this was the first song I actively sought out and listened to as an “anime” song, and I couldn’t get enough of it for a long time.
About this performance I’ll say, the background dancers’ choreography is certainly… interesting lol
I’m still slowly catching up with Scandal so to speak, though to be honest mostly their “greatest hits”. It’s crazy how productive they’ve been through all those years. And although not all songs are really my thing, they are definitely insanely versatile. And most importantly, they still seem to enjoy very much what they’re doing!
And that is actually one of the greatest appeals a band can have to me. Nothing worse than a veteran band where the members seem to be only in it out of habit or for the money but can’t seem to stand each other anymore.
You’re right and that’s why I love them. You can feel that they have fun when you go to a concert. And when they have fun, the crowd has fun too! It is quite more enjoyable when you are standing in the crowd knowing that the band members have as much fun as you.
SCANDAL are making songs that they like and not songs that may sell well. Also, they are exprimenting quite a bit. “Ai no shotai” from the latest album “Mirror” comes to mind. In that song they added a gospel choir which is something that I do not listen to every day. It is my favorite song from the album.
Plus the fact that they have a wide vararity of styles. Every album feels fresh. This surely comes with the downside that one may not like every single song. There may be songs that are more your cup of tea and songs that you do not like very much. But that’s OK. Just listen to the songs that you like. (Honestly, there are SCANDAL songs that I can’t seem to warm up to, no matter how hard I try. And one of them is a popular SCANDAL song. But eh, they have an impressive discography. There are so many songs that I like.)
Sorry for replying so late, I first wanted to get a better impression of their evolution for myself. I think as a general rule, I like their more recent stuff more? Image, Take Me Out, A.M.D.K.J. - the more rock styled songs. I also really like Mirror, as a recent slower song. But among their earlier stuff, Shunkan Sentimental is also great. I also kind of like Scandal Baby, while Shoujo S does nothing for me… it’s pretty random. Though I have to say that the blatant pushing of their schoolgirl image in their earlier videos and concerts is a bit off-putting to me. I mean they were basically schoolgirls back then, but still… I prefer the later stuff where they show their individuality.
