All japan dates of their tour are cancelled

Haruna singing Tsuki

「This is the bonus edition (?) of #うたつなぎ (connected by song) that I had Chiaki Sato tag me in.
The supermoon was really beautiful yesterday and the day before that, so I chose to sing the song "Tsuki" (Moon) from our new album. I'd love to hurry up and play this liveー!
Since this is a bonus edition I won't be tagging anyone, but thank you for the opportunity
#stayhome」

Tomomi singing Laundry Laundry

「Eha-ani (big bro Masahiro Ehara) passed the #うたつなぎ (chaining songs together) baton to me!

Here's a song about laundry, perfect for staying at home, from our latest album.

I'm passing the baton to Tavito Nanao-san whom I deeply respect❤」

Haruna stream

The whole group did a live stream (this is the only upload for now)

Mami created her own Face masks (no surprise here, she actually makes many of her outfits from scratch!)

「My first time wearing a black mask

Mysterious hand

I handmade this cloth mask

I tried to make it on the bigger side but made it to too big
There's room for improvement」

Rina and Tomomi did 2 interviews

rina did a blog post about them

Something that
TOMOMI and I recorded
When we went to Hiroshima
Around mid February
Is now up on YouTube〜!

This is the first video,
With more on the way︎
This was so much fun to record
While being with staff that we've known
For a long time now〜

It'd make me happy
If this serves as a little enjoyment
While you're at home

As the domestic performances for SCANDAL WORLD TOUR 2020 “Kiss from the darkness” had been postponed to prevent the spread of COVID-19,we continued to prepare for the rescheduled dates. However, due to restrictions placed on indoor events even after the ending of emergency measures, the difficulty in holding a completely safe tour, as well as the unclear venue schedules, we are announcing that we must unfortunately cancel [the Japan performances on] this tour.

We would like to express our sincere apologies for this unfortunate outcome to all fans who were looking forward to our shows. Information regarding ticket refunds will be available through SCANDAL’s official website. If you are a ticketholder, please be sure to visit our website.

While we are incredibly sad to announce the cancellation of the tour, we will be performing a livestream concert on August 21st (Friday), which also commemorates our 14th anniversary.

Date: August 21, 2020 (Friday)
Time: 19:00~ (TBD)

Registration URL: https://eplus.jp/821/scandal/

** This will be a paid livestream viewing **
** Ticket information for overseas fans will be announced at a later date **

We will do our utmost best to recreate the same concert experience that we originally planned for the tour, including the setlist, outfits, stage lights and visuals, etc.

Not being able to deliver the best live experience with everyone is heartbreaking, but we look forward to delivering a new and improved experience to all fans. Please join us on this special day.

Additionally, we are excited to announce that we will be kicking off a special tour as we head towards our 15th anniversary.

Rina uploaded a 2nd Vblog

it's been a while since she dye her hair dark

Scandal - Living in the City

interview with Tomomi

I want to live a healthy and exciting life in my beloved Tokyo forever.

SCANDAL's new song "Living in the city" will be released on June 3rd. This song, which features lyrics and music by bassist TOMOMI and was written at the same time the band worked on their newest album Kiss from the darkness, is a mellow track that lovingly depicts normal, everyday life in Tokyo. Please enjoy this new song that was recorded by SCANDAL in their homes for the first time!

Today's song column is a lyrics essay penned by TOMOMI, who wrote this new song's lyrics and music. What she spelled out leads to the emotions she put into "Living in the city," and her everyday life in Tokyo. Now that the stay-at-home period has continued on for a while, is there some place or someone that you rediscovered feelings for? Please keep that beloved place or person in mind while reading this essay.

～Lyrics Essay: "Living in the city"～
It's been more than 10 years since I moved from the countryside in Hyogo Prefecture to Tokyo, and I have some shops that I can call my "go-to" places. One of them is "Pretty Things ," a small coffee shop along Komazawa Koen-dori.

As I open the glass doors, I'm enveloped by the fragrance of freshly ground coffee and the sound of a vinyl record playing through a sound system that was clearly fussed over. On this day they're playing Daryl Hall & John Oates . It's the song that my beloved De La Soul sampled . My body moves naturally. I'm on cloud nine.

I head to the counter only about five steps away as I dance, and the same little guy and cute lady as always take my order. There are three types of coffee beans to choose from. Out of those I choose the ones from Ethiopia, which are said to have strong acidity. I always go with the Ethiopia ones. I also get honey toast. It's my standard order.

I have many reasons for going to "Pretty Things": The Ethiopian coffee beans and honey toast; Hall & Oates, of course; and because everything else there always puts me in the best mood.

Floors tiled with geometric patterns, unique sundries, cultural magazines, original apparel lines. This store that is precisely full of pretty things, is a strong ally that excites me from morning till night, and provides me with much awareness.

So let's go back to the little guy who briefly appeared at the counter earlier. This little guy is the owner and the person who caused the Tokyo cafe boom in the late 90's.

Of course, since I'm from the countryside, I didn't know that at that time and only heard about it later, but apparently there's not one person who runs a cafe who doesn't know about him. That's amazing.

Nevertheless, he's always friendly and stylish. Yes, truly amazing people don't express their awesomeness. Though they don't express it, people with similar sensibilities naturally gather around them.

People who turn up to "Pretty Things" are—how should I put it—ones who work hard in Tokyo, go hard when having fun, and feel that they can afford to finally head out somewhere after having all kinds of experiences. Amorous adults that imbue the scent of Tokyo culture. It's extravagant, inevitable, and admirable.

I drink my Ethiopian coffee while admiring it all. To tell you the truth, I couldn't drink coffee until a few years ago. It was too bitter for me. However, when I tried drinking it because I wanted to live like those people I admired, I found myself loving it in no time. There have been lots of those kinds of things during these past 10 years. Most of what has made me who I am today has been my daily life in Tokyo.

When I had just moved to Tokyo, it had me feeling lonely and feeling like I'd be left behind if I didn't flip a switch on every day or work extremely hard. But, before I knew it, it became a place that makes me want to say, "I'm home." I love Tokyo. It's comfortable.

Tokyo, which had stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19, had its emergency measures lifted on May 25th. I haven't been there in two months, but I think I'll soon go over and visit the little guy and Hall & Oates, and have some Ethiopian coffee and honey toast while checking things out.

There were many moments when my heart felt worn out during the stay-at-home period. But, this store is a strong ally that excites me from morning till night, and provides me with much awareness. I'll adopt this new lifestyle and not slack off on washing my hands and gargling. I want to live a healthy and exciting life in my beloved Tokyo forever.

Scandal member's reunion after not seeing each other for 2 months!

We finally, finally got to see each other againー!!!!!!!
So happy! So happy!!
So happyyyyー!!!!!!

I think it's been two and a half months?
For the first time in forever the four of us got together
And we recorded Catch up,
FEEDBACK Shop in Shibuya is open again,
And we gave MAMI and TOMOMI their birthday presents
And observed social distancing
While all of us celebrated and ate cake.
It was so much fun
Talking about nothing in particular!
It was a really great day♡

I savored this happiness
Of going outside and getting to do my beloved job with my beloved people.

I've perked up︎

she looks great!

this is the picture she used as thumbnail

i finally watched the VLOG #3, it was a Q&A and Rina picked the questions from fans

it was pretty good, definitely better than some of their other interviews, they asked her about if she wants to get married, what she would do if she wasn't in scandal and a lot of other questions, she talked a little about her life in high school too

and seems when she started her channel she was planning to stay silent and only speak via text bubbles but she couldn't hold back talking so that's why she changed to the current format
