Biography
In August 2006 four high school girls from Osaka, Japan started a band called SCANDAL. They started performing almost every weekend in Shiroten and later at clubs and musical venues, by doing so they became more and more recognised in all of Japan. In August 2007 Tower Records approached them, and a couple of months later they came to an agreement. In 2008 they released three singles in three consecutive months. After the release of their first mini-album, due to the low number of units Tower Records produced, SCANDAL signed a contract with Sony's daughter company Epic Records in September 2008.

Scandal is a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. The band scored a hit in the US with the song “The Warrior”, which peaked at #7 in 1984. Other minor hits included “Goodbye to You” (1982 - #65 US), “Love’s Got A Line On You” (1983 - #59 US), and “Hands Tied” (1984 - #41 US).
Scandal was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarist Zack Smith, who also wrote most of the band’s hits. The other initial members included: bassist Ivan Elias (1950-1995), guitarist Keith Mack, guitarist Jon Bon Jovi (briefly), keyboardist Benjy King, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and vocalist Patty Smyth. Thommy Price later replaced LaRocka on drums.
The band had much success early on but due to struggles within the group and their record company, it slowly dissolved—losing member after member. By the time “The Warrior” tour hit the road in 1984, all that remained of the original lineup were Smyth and Mack. Scandal broke up shortly after the tour ended in 1985. The group (minus Ivan Elias, who died of cancer in June 1995) reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited show and did a string of concerts on the United States East Coast culminating in a show at Irving Plaza in their home city (New York) on February 9, 2005. During the summer of 2006, the band (excluding Thommy Price) reunited again for VH1’s “We Are The 80’s” tour, playing a string of large - mainly outdoor - venues and earning critical acclaim. During the summer and fall of 2007, they toured again (this time without Zack Smith).
In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by Patty Smyth and Scandal (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). At a performance in Dewey Beach, DE on August 3, 2008, Smyth indicated Scandal would be releasing a new five song EP in the near future. Scandal also performed one of their new songs, “Trust In Me”. Other new titles include “Make It Hard” and “End Of The Girl”. Patty Smyth & Scandal debuted their first single as a band (“Hard For You To Love Me”, also referred to as “Make It Hard”) in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, CT to a standing ovation. Patty Smyth stated the song will be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single has been delayed to late 2009 as the EP will expanded to a full length album according to Patty Smyth’s blog in May 2009.

瞬間センチメンタル
Scandal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
今日も
僕らの未来を奪おうとする
欲しがっていたものを手にしても
素直に
うまく笑えないのはなぜだろう
溢れる涙は弱さや後悔じゃない
痛みが生んだカケラで
どんな瞬間だって 運命だって
一つだけ確かなものがあると知った
一人で考えちゃって
今を迷うより明日を迎えに行くんだ
ずっと持ってたい 心の地雷
スイッチは切ってない
変わらない未来
壊したいいつも僕を見ている
ありふれたメロディーが
くだらないと人に笑われても
キラキラなおさら輝くのは何故だろ？
何がホントで嘘だ理屈じゃなくて
感じていたい心で
きっと愛情なんて
幻想だってごまかしたくないよ
傷ついたとしても
分かり合いたいと
強く願うほど
ぶつかることもあるから
泣けるくらい青空
交差点で 手を伸ばした
10年後もこんなふうに
いられるかな 一緒に
どんな瞬間だって 運命だって
一つだけ確かなものがあると知った
限界だって困難だって諦めたくないよ
このまま離さないで
硬く握り締めた君の右手の温もり
ここにあるから
The lyrics of Scandal's song 瞬間センチメンタル (Shunkan Sentimental) explore the theme of relationships and the uncertainty of the future. The song is about a promise that was never made and the fear of losing one's future. The singer wonders why she cannot smile even when she has what she wanted. She realizes that the overflowing tears are not a sign of weakness or regret but fragments of the pain she has felt.
Despite all the uncertainty, the singer comes to a realization that there is one thing that is certain - destiny. She decides that instead of dwelling on her current state of confusion, she will embrace the future and the unknown. The singer acknowledges that misunderstandings and disagreements are bound to happen, but she yearns for understanding and shares her desire to never give up on the difficulties and obstacles that arise.
The lyrics also delve into the idea of love and the desire for a deeper connection. The singer admits that she does not want to be fooled by the illusion that love is just a fantasy. Instead, she craves the understanding that comes with the pain and hardships of love. Despite it all, she still hopes for a future with the person she loves.

どんな瞬間だって 運命だって 一つだけ確かなものがあると知った 一人で考えちゃって 今を迷うより明日を迎えに行くんだ

I reached out my hand at the crossroad, where the sky was blue enough to cry. Will we still be together like this ten years from now?

I've learned that regardless of the moment or fate, one thing is certain. I won't give up on the limits and difficulties we face. Don't let go now; the warmth of your tightly held hand is still here with me.
