Hit and popular songs by SCANDAL

Let me introduce songs by SCANDAL, a nonstop four-piece girls’ rock band.

SCANDAL was formed when members who originally attended a vocal and dance school were invited by an instructor to try playing instruments.

While they enjoy idol-like popularity, they also have many captivating songs, and I imagine many people have covered them as copy bands at school festivals.

The gear they use is mainly from Fender, and Squier, a Fender subsidiary, offers cute yet cool signature models that perfectly match their image.

If you’re a female guitarist or bassist who admires them, be sure to check them out.

The lyrics evoke a cool, confident woman, and when combined with the bold sound, just listening to it lifts your spirits.

The chorus has a catchy, easy-to-hum melody, so you might find yourself singing along before you know it.

It’s a great pick when you’re in the mood for something a little different.

The acoustic guitar accentuates the song’s light, lively feel, and I find myself naturally swaying as I listen.

I also got the impression that, in a good way, it doesn’t feel too much like a typical band song.

It seems like a style that would suit a sunny day or an urban setting.

The song leaves a strong impression with lyrics that depict the process of growing into adulthood and a sense that the singer is beginning to accept it naturally.

The flowing composition matches the passage of time, making it a track I want to listen to when I feel like stopping in my tracks.

It’s a tie-in song between Bourbon and SCANDAL.

In the music video, Bourbon product packages and the members of SCANDAL are depicted in animation, giving it a cool and pop vibe.

The song has catchy lyrics that make you want to hum along—a real live number.

It’s a fast-paced song with a drive that SCANDAL hadn’t had before.

As the title suggests, it made me aware of the “moment” of worrying about the present.

At the same time, it’s a song that gave me courage.

In particular, the lyrics right before the final chorus are really moving—don’t miss them.

As the song nears its end, it builds momentum into an energetic climax that’s guaranteed to hype you up at a live show.

With its captivating twin-vocal arrangement, it’s also a lot of fun to sing with a friend at karaoke.

With an unforgettable intro after just one listen and a chorus melody that sticks in your head, the song is addictive based on those two elements alone.

In a sense, it’s uncharacteristic of SCANDAL, so I think many people will find themselves wondering, “Who is this?” when it comes on the radio or in a store.
