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.

A song produced by Ryota Yanagisawa of SUPER BEAVER, with a cool band sound and lyrics that feel indirect yet hit straight to the heart—they really stick with you.

I think it’s a track both fanbases will come to love.

The MAMI (Gt) in the music video is super cool, so it’s a must-see for band girls.

I think it’s also a song that gained recognition by being used as an anime theme.

It’s captivating for the powerful, girlish punch at the start of the chorus, the lyrics that are both delicate and bold, and the catchy, slightly retro, band-style intro.

It’s a mid-tempo ballad that’s sweet yet bittersweet, like dark chocolate.

With a tone that makes you want to listen in the slightly chilly season, the lyrics evoke the kind of bravado and missed connections that any woman may have experienced, bringing tears to your eyes before you know it.

This song, which really captures the spirit of the times, is produced by Yasutaka Nakata, and the music video has a futuristic vibe.

Even so, it’s impressive how the solid band sound and SCANDAL’s signature style still come through.

Also, be sure to check out the slightly country-like elements in the arrangement.

Created after a world tour, the music video was filmed in Guam to capture that global vibe, and it really conveys the members’ relaxed expressions and fun, carefree atmosphere.

This song, which is the ending theme of Sengoku BASARA 4, is a very hot, fast-paced track that fits BASARA perfectly.

With lyrics by HARUNA, it really underscores that SCANDAL is a rock band.

It’s the kind of song that energizes you even when you listen to it as a fight song.

TOMOMI (Ba) takes the lead vocals, and the girlish, lovestruck lyrics really shine thanks to her high-tone voice.

Some students might be thinking, “That’s exactly my situation right now!” Highly recommended for students in love.
