“While we were recording last year, we were asked if we wanted to try out for the opening theme for “Bleach.” Mami was especially a huge fan of “Bleach,” so we immediately started to work on it. There were apparently many other candidate artists, so we felt very honored and happy when our song was chosen.” – SCANDAL

When you think of the word “scandal” the first thing that pops into your mind probably isn’t an all girl band from Japan, unless you are a huge fan of the anime series “Bleach” that is. Coming from a music industry somewhat notorious for manufacturing groups, our first look at this high school uniform wearing band made us wonder… until we listened to their music.

With full throttle songs like Shojo S, Tokyo and Space Ranger these four musicians from Osaka have managed to create a beautifully sexy moe inducing appearance with all its obvious commercial appeal while keeping their identity as a rock band to be taken seriously. Their first full length album “Best Scandal” will be released in Japan on October 21.

On September 1, 2009 the members of SCANDAL were kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. SCANDAL Interview.
