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.

Scandal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いつもと変わらない
優しい笑顔に付き合う
もうずっと傍にいるのに今日も
あたしのした
間違いに君は気付かない
ゆっくり溶けてく
ビターチョコレート
風が吹けば君の髪に
くすぐられそうな距離で
ちょっとずつ ずれていく歩幅
見ないフリした ずっと
考えてあくびして
どんどん明日に変わって
落っことしたハートのカケラは
元に戻らないわ
ねぇ 会いたいと思う事が
愛とか恋とかソレに関係してるなら
やっぱごめん 今日で別れましょう
友達でいられたら嬉しい
なんてね
ひとりきりだと少し広すぎる
冷たいベッドで誰かの夢を見る
高い肩に合わせて
つま先立ちでキスをした
初めて感じた柔らかい体温に
照れて笑い合って
「愛してる?」
何回も聴いたのは
"不安" じゃなくて
聴こえる愛情がいつも
欲しかっただけなのよ
ばいばい、ありがとう
伝えきって愛しくなる
ばいばい
今までありがとうda-ring
君が泣いた
なんでだろう
つられてあたしも泣いてた
I love you下手くそになって
傷付けた夜だって
優しさを溢して
抱き締めてくれた君に今
もう一回甘えてみたいけど
元に戻れないわ
The song "ビターチョコレート" (Bitter Chocolate) by Scandal is about unrequited love and the pain it causes. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate her feelings, but she finds it difficult to move on. She watches as the object of her affection remains unaware of her mistakes and continues to flash his gentle smile. The singer slowly melts away like a piece of bitter chocolate in the warmth of his presence, drowning in the sweet smell of his cologne.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the distance between the singer and the person she loves. The wind blows and tickles his hair, but she cannot get any closer to him. The distance grows wider as they walk, and she pretends not to notice, lost in her own thoughts. The singer realizes that if she continues to think about wanting to see him, she will only suffer more heartbreak. As a result, she decides to end their relationship, choosing to remain as friends instead. She understands that her heart will never mend after being broken, and she will never be able to go back to the way things were before.
