夜露死苦 ladies and gentlemen.
for those that don't know 夜露死苦, it simply means yoroshiku from direct translation. (ye lu si ku), say it fast, and it will become yoroshiku. i see this in a SCANDAL X ELSWORD interview. TOMO gave it! haha. ok, time for my 3rd review. so hang on guys.
so what you all think of SCANDAL? just a girl pop-rock band? or maybe even more than what i think?
to me, SCANDAL are not only a girl pop-rock band, they are a band that gives people full of surprises! just when we all thought they only create rocking power songs, they do covers of them as well! and just when we thought is rock songs and superb covers, they come up with another surprise: trying ballad song.
right, by this time i think you all know which song i'm talking about right? let me give the PV if you all still cannot figure it out.
is Namida no Regret, the only ballad they have done so far.
-sob- oh gomene, is just that this PV is a way tag sad. :(
ok, back to the main topic.
to be honest, even before this PV or song was release, my initial thought is like this: HUH? SCANDAL doing ballad? you serious?
at that moment, i was really questioning why they challenging a ballad. cause they have been doing rock/pop songs till so well that choosing a ballad makes it real weird for me. it just doesn't seem to be their style at all.
but hearing the song, you know? is just like again, this band had to make me eat my words. cause the song is just deadly great! is just like secret base, the feelings are there, the slow rhythm that accompanies it. this is just another great song!
again, if i were to criticize this one, is definitely had to be the PV. why would you have the girls crying? i mean, these girls doesn't deserve to be neglected in the PV,all their relationships with friends or boyfriends got destroyed. the girls don't deserve this. but oh well, since is for the PV purpose, i will give the way they act throughout the PV 10/10!
after these single, i just feel this band really can be diverse. you throw them what kind of genre, they equally produce the same goods! no matter what scenario also. thumbs up to them!
ok, that marks my review for today. how did you feel about this song? too sad? more things to add onto my review. once again, all comments are warmly welcomed!
so stay tune for next week's review then. ja ne~

What is music for you?
Just a short post from me.
What is music for you?
For me, music is heartache, music is salvation, music is love. No music no life.
I just saw video on YouTube today that made me post this entry.
Try view it.
I kind of want to go into detail about what this video made me feel but it's going to be a long post if I'd do that. Just enjoy music like they did in that video while having a parade.
Anywaysss... Just to infrom you guys with the releases I'm quite looking forward to.
Supercell will be doing a collaboration with Kz (livetune), release date would be December 29-31. Yes, only until 31. Why? Because they are selling it in limited quantity and this is going to be in CDjapan or HMV or YesAsia, they are selling it on Tokyo Big Sight ( Http://Www.bigsight.jp/ ) 3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo TamStar Records 351 West Hall 4.
I don't know really what's the deal between them but I think they are both under the TamStar Records now so better check out the site.
http://www.tamstarrecords.jp/
YUI. Oh yes. Enough said. Your Heaven will be released in January. Yes. A new single. As for the release date, I don't know yet, I haven't got time to check all the info. I just heard it from tsunvun I think? that it will be January.
And of course SCANDAL in February called Pride. Going to be used as an opening song of an anime called STAR Driver.
Sooo. Better save uop now guys. :P

who says covering songs are a disaster? let SCANDAL show you how they do their covers!
hey people, i'm back. so let's get down to business with part 2 review, shall we?
one of the reasons SCANDAL has been attracting worldwide attention is of course the release of Shunkan Sentimental.
one month after this release, SCANDAL are attracting attention again when they decided to do a cover song in SCANDAL ~Shunkan Sakura Zensen TOUR~ 2010 SPRING.
before this tour, they did a poll on twitter, asking people to choose a song out of 600 for them to cover. As a result, the song that emerge victorious is ZONE's secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~.
who's ZONE you all may ask. they share quite a pattern to SCANDAL that the band members are also young. they raise to the fame because of this song. basically, i tell you the copies this single sold. 744,000 copies. and i let you all see how this sing was sang by ZONE.
unfortunately, ZONE was disbanded in mid 2005.
now a new girl band, in the name of SCANDAL, was told to cover the hit song done by ZONE. the pressure is big. but yet, it was this song that marks the start for people to see just how good SCANDAL are, even when it comes to covering songs. this is because even though this song was performed specially for the Tour, it eventually leads to a PV release from SCANDAL!
look at the way on how they sing. full of emotions, exactly what ZONE has done for this song! you can just notice the feelings when you see either one of the PVs.
and just simply to this song, SCANDAL and ZONE are compared. i won't say much about this. cause SCANDAL is SCANDAL, ZONE is ZONE, both bands work it differently.
so now that covering other songs makes a hit for SCANDAL. you may thought this is the end.....
MATE NE!
not the end of course. ANIMAX MUSIX SPRING 2010 is the next chance for them to show their power in covering songs again! this is a music extravaganza taking place in Tokyo, where artists performing the hottest anime theme songs. SCANDAL was one of the guest artists too. not only these, these artists are allowed to cover some of the songs too! for SCANDAL, they covered Hajimete no Chuu (First Kiss) and TOUCH.
Hajimete no Chuu is originally a song that comes from Anshin Papa, and is used for the anime "Kiteretsu Daihyakka".
as for TOUCH, it is an original song from Iwasaki Yoshimi, for the anime "Touch".
these 2 songs are based on 80's series time. so ya, i agree that the song doesn't sound that right to me. if you all are having difficulty in finishing hearing, stop and listen to how SCANDAL covers it.
Hajimete no Chuu
Touch
my feelings? BLOWN. TOTALLY BLOWN. 2 classic songs are transformed to pop songs which people are liking nowadays. this is simply unbelievable! is just as if a rusty stone has been transformed into a precious gem! i'm really amazed at how SCANDAL do their covers! there is an element of pop/rock whenever they cover a song!
and then on November, they of course release the Cover Mini-Album "R-GIRL'S ROCK", which of course the details has been given by Yuujin Ang.
the best cover they done in my opinion, is Touch and Roppongi Shinjuu. cause both songs are real power rock. very energetic.
and right, that ends the review today. feel free to comment. impressions on how SCANDAL do their covers? which cover you like the most throughout the songs they have covered in 2010? other comments are also warmly welcomed!
as for the next review, i will be posting in wednesday since i will be having my holidays. it's much more related to other genres they challenged, just one song of course they have done.
