Girl SSCANDAL

This is the third single by the four-piece rock band SCANDAL, who have been energetically touring overseas since their indie days as students and have now become charismatic leaders among girl bands in the J-POP scene.

The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime BLEACH, and its catchy intro guitar riff and slap bass create a strong hook.

The melody is simple, making it recommended for beginner vocalists, but since there are many chorus parts, it affects the instrumental members in terms of singing as well, so care is needed when selecting it.

With a simple ensemble throughout, it’s a rock tune that’s fun to play together as a band.

This is the debut single by singer-songwriter Ami Sakaguchi, who set her sights on becoming a musician in fourth grade and picked up the guitar in her first year of junior high, driven by the preconception that “holding a guitar would look cool.” The song, themed around her first love in high school, features a pop arrangement with breezy piano sounds that hits just the right note.

Although the melody has many rises and falls, it isn’t difficult, making it easy for beginner vocalists to sing.

On the other hand, since many prominent phrases appear in each part of the ensemble, be sure to practice so the band as a whole can bring the song together.
