SCANDAL were invited to Shingeki's TV show "神ROCK TV"




i haven't checked on Shingeki in years, nice to see they are still going strong

is not super relevant by itself but they are very different groups so that makes it an unexpected interaction, one of the members Tina is a fan of SCANDAL and asked them to guest on their show

Rina posted a blog about it, basically she says that a year ago Shingeki approached them during a festival and that last month they contacted them to invite them to the show, she says Tina asked Rina to go for a meal after the recording and two days later they met again and that she liked meeting her too



that's cool, imagine having a tv show and the management asking you who would be good guests for it so you invite your favorite artist and become friends with them!

SCANDAL's LUMINOUS Lyrics Essays
＃1 - MAMI's "Gunjou pleats" Lyrics Essay​

The theme song for my fantasy brand.

On March 20, 2024, SCANDAL will release their new album LUMINOUS! This is their 11th album in total and their first in two years since their previous album MIRROR. It will contain 11 songs including singles "Highlight no Naka de Bokura Zutto" and "Line of sight" released last year; as well as "Anata e," co-written with Rhythmic Toy World; and "Plum," co-written with EOW.

Four lyrics essays by SCANDAL will be posted! This is the first one, written by MAMI about the song "Gunjou pleats" (群青pleats; Ultramarine pleats). How did this song come into being, and what important thing did she realize when she fell into a songwriting slump...? Please enjoy this essay along with the lyrics.

A part of this song was written in 2019.

I love clothing, and if I ever started a clothing brand,『navypleatedskirt』Would be a good name for it. Although I have no plans to start one, there was a time when I was just thinking of a brand name.

The song "Gunjou pleats" was originally written to be the theme song for this fantasy brand of mine.

Pleated skirts are cute yet mature, and they look completely different depending on the fineness of the pleats. If you're not careful they can lose their shape. I also love the delicate nature of them. I feel like the way pleats move reflects your mood that day, which I really like...haha

During the few years when the norm was no longer the norm, I couldn't write songs and wondered how I was going to keep my mental health in check, But when I found this song written in 2019, I was reminded of the importance of the simple, uplifting moments of everyday life.

It made me realize that I was just like the lyrics of the song, and how amazing it is to get excited just by wearing something you like.

You have to take charge of your own mood.

To the me five years ago, thank you!

Now we can go out to many places, wear what we like, listen to what we like, eat what we like, do many things we like, and feel good about ourselves.

I too will breeze through the city in a pleated skirt. Feeling good about myself.

＜SCANDAL・MAMI＞​

i bet now there is going to be huge demand for Gunjou pleats to become a thing!


speaking of Gunjou Pleats they played the song on the radio, S-H posted the translation and radio rip

Interview

 

[Stan BiSH]

for the release of LUMINOUS the members of SCANDAL were store managers at some TOWER RECORDS locations, imagine going to the store to pick your copy of the album and running into any of the members!

Haruna was in the Fukuoka store, Tomomi in Sendai, Mami in Nagoya and Rina in Abeno hoop (the store page didn't post more of Mami and Rina but is because i think the two went to a radio show and have to leave early)
