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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
スクランブル交差点で
青過ぎる空を見てた
雨なら隠せることもあるのになぁ
モノが溢れる街で
何か満たされないまま
レンタルしたあの映画も
見ないままで返す気がした
ねえ 今 私はあなたを思い出してた
声はずっと此処にあって
なのにずっと響かなくて
大事だって思う物が
無いわけじゃないから
帰りたいと思ってたって
帰りたいと言えなくって
強がって寂しがって
それでも明日を探してる
笑って「またね」って告げて
始めての中央線も
気付けば慣れた足で人ごみを避けて
歩いている
ねえ今 あなたは 私がどう見える?
ねえ今 私はあなたに
会えないかもしれない ...
見もしないテレビの
明かりをながめて
手にした携帯 見慣れた名前に
繋いだ向こうで
人の気も知らないで
笑う声に 思わず笑った
声はずっと此処にあって
なのにずっと響かなくて
「わかるよ」って
「嘘でしょ?」ってはぐらかして
だけどなんか嬉しくって
だからきっと朝を待って
リピートって思う今日に
期待をする
私はずっと此処にあって
それがきっと現在(いま)になって
迷いだって孤独だって
あたり前にあるけど
帰りたいと言いたかった
帰りたいと言わなかった
強がって寂しがって
それでも私は歩いていく
歩いていく ...
見てないあの映画を
明日返しにいこう
The lyrics of Scandal's song "Koe" describe a person wandering through the city, feeling unfulfilled and alone despite being surrounded by bustling activity. The singer reflects on past memories and relationships, wondering if the person they are addressing in the song still remembers them. They express a sense of longing and hesitation to return home, feeling trapped in their own loneliness. The refrain repeats the idea of a voice being present but unheard, suggesting that the singer feels unheard or ignored by those around them.
Throughout the verse, the singer reflects on the ways in which they try to fill the emptiness they feel. They mention a rented movie they never watched and a familiar name on their phone, hinting at past relationships that have not fulfilled their desires. They feel conflicted about the desire to return home and the fear of not being welcomed or understood, ultimately choosing to continue wandering on their own. The song's overall mood is melancholic and reflective, expressing a sense of isolation and longing for connection.
Line by Line Meaning
昨日のリピートのような
Just like yesterday's repeat
スクランブル交差点で
At the scramble intersection
青過ぎる空を見てた
I was looking at the too blue sky
雨なら隠せることもあるのになぁ
Even though rain can hide things
モノが溢れる街で
In a city overflowing with material things
何か満たされないまま
Still feeling unfulfilled
レンタルしたあの映画も
That movie I rented
見ないままで返す気がした
I felt like returning it without ever watching it
ねえ 今 あなたは 私を覚えている?
Hey, do you remember me now?
ねえ 今 私はあなたを思い出してた
Hey, I was thinking about you now
声はずっと此処にあって
My voice is always here
なのにずっと響かなくて
But it never echoes
大事だって思う物が
It's not that there isn't anything important
無いわけじゃないから
It's just that I don't have it
帰りたいと思ってたって
I wanted to go back
帰りたいと言えなくって
But I couldn't say it
強がって寂しがって
Pretending to be strong and feeling lonely
それでも明日を探してる
But still seeking tomorrow
笑って「またね」って告げて
Saying goodbye with a smile
始めての中央線も
Even the first time at the Chuo line
気付けば慣れた足で人ごみを避けて
Before I knew it, I was avoiding the crowd with my familiar steps
歩いている
Walking
ねえ今 あなたは 私がどう見える?
Hey, how do I look to you now?
ねえ今 私はあなたに会えないかもしれない ...
Hey, I might not be able to see you now...
見もしないテレビの
The TV I haven't even watched
明かりをながめて
Looking at its light
手にした携帯 見慣れた名前に
My phone in my hand, with a familiar name
繋いだ向こうで人の気も知らないで
Without caring about other people on the other end
笑う声に 思わず笑った
Laughing along with the sound of laughter
「わかるよ」って
I understand
「嘘でしょ?」ってはぐらかして
Evasively answering 'You're kidding, right?'
だけどなんか嬉しくって
But for some reason, it makes me happy
だからきっと朝を待って
So I'm sure I'll wait for dawn
リピートって思う今日に
Today which I think is a repeat
期待をする
I have hope
私はずっと此処にあって
I'm always here
それがきっと現在(いま)になって
And that becomes the present
迷いだって孤独だって
Even when I'm lost or alone
あたり前にあるけど
It's something that's obvious
帰りたいと言いたかった
I wanted to say I want to go back
帰りたいと言わなかった
But I didn't say it
強がって寂しがって
Pretending to be strong and feeling lonely
それでも私は歩いていく
But still, I'm walking
歩いていく ...
Walking...
見てないあの映画を
That movie I haven't watched
明日返しにいこう
Let's return it tomorrow
