About

SCANDAL IN CONCERT:

Japanese all-female pop punk quartet Scandal has been rocking the land of the rising sun for nearly a decade, but recently their melodic, spunky sound has earned them a growing international fanbase. In 2014 the group released their sixth album Hello World, an aptly-titled introduction for global audiences to their upbeat sound and edgy songwriting. Unlike many J-pop groups that have been meticulously put together by record labels, Scandal formed while still in high school, and their live shows reflect their DIY origins with scrappy, punk-inspired performances. From their brightly colored schoolgirl uniforms to catchy songs like "Departure" and "Runner's High", Scandal always treat ticket buyers to an electric concert experience full of energy, personality, and first-rate musicianship.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Scandal was formed in Osaka in 2006 by a group of high school students who got their start performing on the streets of the city's bustling shopping districts. After signing with indie label Kitty Records they issued several singles before getting picked up by Epic Records Japan. Their label debut, 2009's Best Scandal, peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's Japanese albums chart, leading to extensive touring and a New Artist Award at the 51st Japan Record Awards. Their 2010 follow-up fared even better, peaking at No. 4 and spawning the hits "Shunkan Sentimental" and "Taiyo to Kimi ga Egaku Story". The band toured extensively to sold-out Asian crowds in 2012-13 while continuing to release albums and lend their songs to popular anime TV shows. In 2014 the band greeted their growing international fanbase with their sixth album Hello World, a punchy release full of anthemic tunes that forms a perfect addition to their boisterous sets on tour.

    Best Concert I've Been To!

    by Aaron Michaud on 9/9/23

    I saw Scandal in July 2022 in New York. Not only do the girls put on a great show and have good stage presence and interaction with one another and the audience, but they're incredible musicians to witness on stage. This was easily the best concert that I've ever been to. Even some of the venue staff, who had little to no experience with Japanese music, seemed to really be getting into the show. Scandal is simply amazing 6/5 stars haha

    Surreal Humbling Emotional

    by Jpop on 7/18/22The Masquerade - Heaven - Atlanta

    Emotional Surreal Humbling. I participated in the M/G. I was able to show Tomo my tattoo of the bands name on her handwriting. I didn't realize the moment was so Humbling awesome until I got to look at the photo afterwards. I was front row. Was enthralled & sometimes on tears as they played I've waited 12yrs to hear. The band gave it there all. It was a rare night. We have been small but we showed Big love❤️

    So Scandalous, baby

    by Where the Dragons Roam on 7/18/22The Masquerade - Heaven - Atlanta

    Looked forward to this show for a number of years now because of delays and cancellations and when the ladies of Scandal finally arrived they did not disappoint, Performance was top notch with hyperactive enthusiasm and charm along strong setlist with high and low peaks for vibe and tempo. Could’ve used another couple songs in the set to make up for the shorter and fewer MC breaks because the language barrier though. VIP M&G was very brief and regretfully there were no autographs but the photo was nice given the COVID circumstances. Venue-wise the masquerade was on the level it always is, well organized and accommodating despite it not being in the best/cleanest area of Atlanta but that gives it a little extra character I guess. I’m stage setup issue was lighting on Rina, the drummer. Not sure if was lacking of lighting or bad placement of the drum kit but she was in the complete dark for most of the show sadly.

    10/10 would go again

    by John on 7/18/22The Masquerade - Heaven - Atlanta

    I drove six and a half hours down the morning of the show, had lunch, went to the show, slept, then drove six and a half hours home. Worth every second and every penny. The band was energetic and fun, the venue was excellent, and the sound mix was one of the best I have ever heard. If they come through anywhere near again, I will happily attend. The only thing that would have made it better would be more shirts and in larger sizes at the merchandise booth.

    Great show! Would do again

    by Bobby on 7/17/22

    They put on a great show! They have a great diversity in sound and mix things up a bit, so you’re never bored. Every member sings and they rock! They’ll have you dancing and rocking out for sure. I wish they had played “Stamp” but that is my only complaint, the setlist was great! I think they played like 20 songs!
