SCANDAL were down at bayfm78 today, for the live radio broadcast of「KEIYOGINKO POWER COUNTDOWN JAPAN HOT 30」. Below’s a translation of the Pakki-san’s blog account of the girls:
“Today’s guests are appearing for the first time in what, 4 years! It was everyone from SCANDAL♪ We’re not writing for real for them to be a part of the Olympic line-up but with the girls’ popularity now, are they good enough to represent in the Olympics in Japan!? Compared to having met them 4 years ago, they’ve come appear as a mature group.”
“It’s like 5 years has passed since their indies debut, and on 3rd March last year, these girls have stood on the stage of the Osaka-Jo Hall that they’ve so yearned for, for a one-man LIVE. At inquiring their thoughts, they said,「(Our feelings) have became stronger as time passed, and we were quite nervous!」From before their debut, the Osaka-Jo Hall was their home territory, and because they were girls that’ve done street lives, these feelings nod towards that. With their careers moving ahead, they said,「To a certain degree, the time where we’re most relaxed would be when the band’s condition is perfect」. SCANDAL, who possesses the ability, career and avidity.”
“With that speech, here’s hoping! The new song「Departure」carries the meaning of「departing」but SCANDAL is a girls band still continuing their evolution!”
You can now listen to the full broadcast HERE. All of SCANDAL’s members also gave their thanks, and RINA even mentions she now wants to go to Disneyland!
