SCANDAL the biggest girl band in japan! | 18 years with SCANDAL!

[Stan BiSH]

new WILD STOCK episode and this time is not about camping!

i really like Tomomi's current style, looks pretty good

basically since they are taking a break from going camping they decided to do something different and create their own unique spices to use next time, honestly i wouldn't mind if they dropped the camping and instead focused on Tomomi's adventures while she does random things

an idea, Tomomi likes playing golf so maybe holding a tournament with members of other girl bands

SCANDAL announced a new documentary movie “Documentary film MIRROR”, for now is going to be exclusive to the streaming site U-NEXT, let's hope for a DVD / Blu Ray release

We're now in production mode

︎
Yesterday too we made demos
And went ahead with all kinds of work〜!
Since we had been on tour for so long,
It feels fresh doing studio work
I'm happy that we can make things like this again
And move forward with it

I'm writing lyrics every day
My head is so full
That I have nothing left for the blog or social media haha
Doing YouTube videos is definitely out of the question...haha
Sounds play back in my head when I'm sleeping,
And I go, "When I wake up, I need to jot this down...!"
It becomes morning, and then it becomes night( ˙꒳˙ )
It's been a while since this has happened◎

But, again,
We'll get through this as usual,
And have a satisfying song that we want everyone to listen to
The weight of one song increases year by year,
And every day I hope that you'll be happy with it
Then it'll be set free◎​

Rina got her driver's license, i known Tomo and Mami already have theirs but i'm not sure about Haruna

Drive - 2022-11-21 (RINA)

Drive Theme：RINA Since getting my driver's license, It's been so much fun To driveeee, (The photo is when there was heavy rain) (On my first day of driving

Since getting my driver's license,
It's been so much fun
To driveeee,
(The photo is when there was heavy rain)
(On my first day of driving)
(Before I knew it, I was on the Metropolitan Expressway and kind of panicking)
But until now
I had never driven totally alone.

Today the idea to go for a drive
Suddenly came to mind,
And I finally drove solo◎

I endlessly drove straight ahead
Without knowing where I'd arrive, and then went back home( ◜ᴗ◝ )
Glad I got back safely〜
I was scared to go to the gas station〜haha
Filling up's not possible for me( ◜ᴗ◝ )
That's happened a lot〜
The power the shoshinsha mark holds is crazy〜
Thank you to the people who filled up my car〜
It feels like I leveled up today

Though I'm still nervous
To drive far by myslf,
I want to try driving on a lot more roadsー!
That's what I thought today haha

I thought I might up come with some lyrics
While driving,
But that was overly optimistic.
That'll likely take another 2〜3 years( ◜ᴗ◝ )​

The Scandal members did an over hour long Instagram live. I don't know if it will remain up.

Rina is almost a decade older yet most people wouldn't be able to tell



also i find it interesting that Rina is friends with many members / Ex members of AKB48, i bet there is an alternative universe where Rina is a popular member of a -48 group

Rina went glamping with a friend



in short glamping is the combination of "glamour" and "camping", basically the deluxe version of it

there is not mention of exactly where they went other than it was in Wakayama although it most likely was in the Yoshino Kumano National Park

why i think it was there? this article includes some pictures that appear to be in the same beach

This new coastal glamping site in Wakayama has amazing views over the ocean

The luxury seaside campsite in Yoshino Kumano National Park has cabins designed by Kengo Kuma

Rina

people from the article

seems to be the same place, it cost 24,000 yen or around $200 dollars per person in case anyone wants to get the same experience

Rina posted more about it in this blog, there isn't translation of the Vlog yet but the text blog was translated already

private - 2023-01-13 (RINA)

private Theme：RINA Invited by my friend at the end of the year, I went glamping for the first time...! The room was lovely, and eating in the dome Gave it

www.scandal-heaven.com

when they went camping in the first season of WILD STOCK the members stated that they don't leave home that much so i think it's pretty interesting how now both Tomomi and Rina seem to have taken an interest in more outdoorsy activities!

 

[Stan BiSH]

some cool concert pics

btw i haven't commented on them but their current outfits look pretty good, i think my favorite outfit would be either the one from Haruna or Tomomi

the members of SCANDAL revealed their new year's resolutions

front-page Presenting the merits of Nagoya to HARUNA and MAMI! Is Nagoya too humble!? Episode ＃141 blog HARUNA: We're doing a feature on Nagoya...?? RINA:

www.scandal-heaven.com

Haruna's

HARUNA: I'll reveal mine.
The first is to exercise a little more. The second is go to bed early. The third is to travel.

RINA: Nice. But you're just imagining that you'll go to bed early.

HARUNA: I've started going to bed late again recently.

MAMI: You wake up early, don't you?

HARUNA: I do wake up early. So I'm just getting less sleep.

MAMI: By the way, what time did you sleep yesterday?

HARUNA: Yesterday I slept early, around 1:30 am.

RINA: Goals that can be achieved if you work hard.

HARUNA: Yeah, that's the most important thing: You have to set goals that can be achieved.

MAMI: But that's the hardest part...

Mami's

HARUNA: That's right. Next up is MAMI. It's kind of similar to mine.

MAMI: The first is to build up my stamina. The second is to improve my quality of sleep. The third is to cook more.

RINA: Nice.

MAMI: We have fewer chances to perform live, and I feel that my physical strength has dropped, so I have to work hard. Also, when it comes to sleep, I can't fall asleep unless I keep my eyes open by playing games for an hour after getting into bed...

HARUNA: I totally get that!

RINA: You say that's not good, right?

HARUNA: I can't sleep until I can't keep my eyes open anymore.

RINA: Is that because of the games?

TOMOMI: It feels so good when you can't keep your eyes open.

MAMI: Ah! It feels so good!

HARUNA: Now I go to bed early, like 3 am.

RINA: That's pretty late.

MAMI: If I keep going, I won't go to sleep until 4 or 5 am, so I want to go to bed earlier.

Rina's

HARUNA: Now then, RINA.

RINA: The first one is to travel alone. The second one is to drive to a slightly far away destination. The third one is to continue Pilates.
It resembles everyone else's.

HARUNA: Are you okay with traveling alone?

RINA: Yeah, I actually never traveled alone. Our job kind of has us traveling all the time, and I'm thinking of going somewhere on when we have some days off, so I thought I'd try going somewhere.

HARUNA: And driving?

RINA: I just got my driver's license, so I thought I'd give it a try.

MAMI: Wouldn't it be nice to take a long drive around Japan alone?

RINA: Really nice.

HARUNA: How long is longer?

RINA: Hmm, how much?

HARUNA: Hmm, maybe 4-5 hours.

RINA: I've driven for 4-5 hours.

HARUNA: What? Really? Where??

RINA: Within in Tokyo.

HARUNA: 4-5 hours in Tokyo!!?? You're lying, aren't you??

RINA: I went to Shibuya about 4 times in one day.

HARUNA: Ehー!?

MAMI: That's not really going somewhere??

RINA: I was scared to leave Tokyo... My friend who was riding with me got tired... It took too long.

HARUNA: Of course it did!

TOMOMI: That might be really annoying...

Tomo's (is formatted differently because it was done at the end of the show)

•TOMO goes last. She says hers is to cut back on pressing the snooze button on her alarm. She says that she presses it a lot, probably about 10 times. She says that she's aware that she's pressing it 10 times, so she does finally wake up on the 10th time. MAMI says that she totally gets it. HARU says that she really hates the snooze function since it's basically nagging you to wake up. TOMO says that she hates it too, which makes HARU laugh. She says that she knows it's not a good thing to do, which is why she wants to cut back on doing it and wake up on either the first or second time. HARU wonders if she could set her alarm to the last possible time she could wake up. TOMO says that is what she's doing right now, so that "hit the snooze button 10 times" thing really is meaningless. The staff and RINA chuckle at this. TOMO seems to show them how many alarms she has set up for times other than sleeping, which is apparently a lot. The band understands and says that they also set alarms for stuff like reminders to go and eat, head out the door, etc. TOMO says that she sets about 5 alarms to go off before she needs to leave the house. RINA goes, "Are you sleeping then?" TOMO says she isn't, which makes them all laugh. She says she's awake but is spacing out. Setting all these alarms really are kind of pointless, she again says; it's better to just set one alarm (TOMO: "I want to eliminate doing pointless things").

the one from Haruna, Mami and Tomomi is pretty relatable, is really hard having a normal sleep schedule

unsurprisingly Rina is the only one that doesn't has trouble waking up although the story of her driving around for 5 hours is kinda crazy


also the members told us their favorite number

www.scandal-heaven.com

HARUNA: There are numbers that make me happy to see, like my birthday.

RINA: Yeah, totally.

TOMOMI: If it's an item's expiration date is on your birthday, you kind of treasure that item.

RINA: [Lucky numbers] are definitely a thing. "821" is my birthday and the day SCANDAL formed. Hotel room numbers count for me, too.

TOMOMI: Do you guys have a lucky number?

Haruna's

HARUNA: Yes, mine is "8."

MAMI: Really?

TOMOMI: Because it's auspicious?

HARUNA: I was born in August of 1988, and whether it's an angel number or a soul number, it's also "8."

TOMOMI: Huh!

HARUNA: It's partly because it widens out at the end, but it's surrounded by "8".

TOMOMI: I never thought about it like that...

Tomomi's

HARUNA: Eh? Well then, for example, what do you go with when you choose a number from 1 to 10?

TOMOMI: It depends on the day. By the way, today it's "2"...

HARUNA: Does it depend on your mood that day?

TOMOMI: Not at all; it's not decided.

Mami's

HARUNA: What about you, MAMI?

MAMI: I haven't thought much about it. But when I happen to look at the lucky number of the day on a fortune-telling app or the like, it makes me go, "I guess that's right"... But I might not have a specific number.

HARUNA: MAMI hasn't decided on one either.

MAMI: But my favorite number is either "2" or "5."

HARUNA: Because of your birthday?

MAMI: Because "5" (May) is my birth month. "2" is the one that's most fitting...

RINA: The one that's most fitting??

MAMI: In terms of ranking, "＃2" is good. I'd rather go with the number that supports 1 rather than go with the leading number of 1. That's why "2" and "1" stand out as winners, but isn't that because there's a ＃2? I think "2" is the most comfortable number. I don't want to be ＃2. I respect and admire it, but I don't have to be ＃2.

RINA: That's an interesting view.

TOMOMI: "2" has the cutest shape.

RINA: Shape!? Yeah, I guess it is cute.

MAMI: Isn't "6" cute?

RINA: Well, "6" is also cute because it's rounded.

TOMOMI: Yeah, "6" is cute too.

Rina's

HARUNA: What about you, RINA? Your favorite number from 1 to 10.

RINA: I like "8." But in the old days, when I finally learned to use the abacus and finally learned to do mental arithmetic, I would be doing flash mental calculation all of the time when items were being rung up at the market checkout.

HARUNA: Huh!

RINA: That flash mental calculation, it felt really good when the total number had a good cut-off number.

HARUNA: A well-defined number is good, isn't it?
