This song is really good. I like it. And you’re right, the bassist could be a bit louder.

The song is awesome. Especially live.

Do you know “OVER”? I think you could like the song, too. YouTube: SCANDAL - OVER

Yes, I did receive the live Bluray and I’ve seen the concert now multiple times.

The sound is perfect, camera work is good (not many unfocussed frames), image quality is very high (although you can see some “flickering” when the cameras shutter speed doesn’t match with frequency of the lightning) and there are interesting camera angles. There aren’t too many cuts (that’s good IMO, I dont’t like it when there are four cuts per second and you can’t see a thing). The sound of the Bluray doesn’t seem to be much post processed (auto tune and the like) if at all. You can hear it if the singer can’t reach a high note (but that occurs rarely). Nethertheless, the singer’s live performance is extremly good. It sounds like a studio recording. Mixing is also very good, you can hear everything very clear (I do not own any good audio equipment to judge that but with normal speakers or headphones it sounds very good).

All negative points I’ve mentioned above are really, really minor. You may not even be able to notice them. The Bluray is of very high quality.

Only thing I’m missing is a live performance of “GIRL AND”, my favorite song from them. The concert was held last year, so there wasn’t a chance that they could play it 😉

I’m very satisfied with the purchase and will surely buy the next concert Bluray as well.

TLDR: Overall, 5/7. Would recommend to buy the Bluray. 😄

Oh, Ok. I hope you get some time to relax with Japanese music. “26” is a really great song, I can understand that it left an impression on you.

I will also think about some songs with happy couples in the MVs for my next posts 😉

By the way, did you decide to order the album with the Bluray?

@awdsns@feddit.de I’m sure you’ve already seen the new MV. What’s your opinion? :)

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 raving about my favorite band. 😅

What SCANDAL songs do you like so far?

Thanks again for posting this. I’ve been listening to this song every single day since you posted it. I can’t get enough of it. :D

I like this song, too. IIRC this was an april fools joke at first.

Yes, that’s mostly their style. But they also have a few slower songs like “15fun” (15分) from the “Attouteki Shoujo-Manga Story” (圧倒的少女漫画ストーリー) album, which I can’t find on YouTube right now; I could swear they had a MV for that song.

Edit: Found the MV on some chinese site called “bilibili”. I don’t know how official that is so I’m not posting a link here. If you’re curious, google “moshimo 15分”. It’s the first link under the “videos” section.
