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 ↴
幻想が生んだ無法地帯 目を逸らしてる人ばかり
その気になって 試してみなって
美化してないで 現実を知って
クソ真面目にやってらんない日もあるよ
時に 神頼み
運命のあみだくじ 指でなぞって
さあ もっと深くまで その目でみて触れて
我が物顔がはびこる この世界に嫌気が差すよ
真実は無色透明で 少しだけ冷たい
手のなる方へ寄っといで もっといいことしようよ
同じ阿呆なら踊らにゃ損々 ああ もう病みつきになってる
正論ばっか吐き捨ててないで
凝り固まった頭を冷やして
時代遅れの寒いB級評論家達に
お仕置きを
運命のあみだくじ 酸いも甘いも私
運命のあみだくじ そっと開いて
さあ 胸に閉じ込めた その想い解き放て
予測不可能な明日が怖いのは 君だけじゃない
愛なんて自由自在に 燃えて消えてゆく
さあ もっと深くまで その目でみて触れて
我が物顔がはびこる この世界に嫌気が差すよ
真実は無色透明で 少しだけ冷たい
The lyrics of Scandal's song "A.M.D.K.J." paint a picture of a strange and eerie city that has become overly sensitive and regulated. The city seems to be a lawless zone born out of fantasy, with people constantly avoiding eye contact and turning away. The lyrics suggest that instead of romanticizing and avoiding reality, one should face it and try to understand it. The song acknowledges that there are days when it feels impossible to live with such seriousness and seriousness may require relying on a higher power.
The song moves on to discuss the concept of fate and destiny, comparing it to a game of chance. The lyrics encourage tracing the lines of fate with our fingers, as if trying to understand and predict its twists and turns. The tone shifts to a frustration with the world, where arrogance prevails and the singer becomes disenchanted. The truth is described as colorless and transparent, but also slightly cold.
The song then urges listeners to move towards goodness and positivity, to do better things and not be fools dancing to the same tune. The lyrics criticize those who only speak in logical arguments and suggest cooling down their rigid and outdated thinking. The song challenges the self-proclaimed experts and suggests punishing them in some way.

I agree with you.

I guess it has to do with them founding their own record label and doing things on their own terms. The album cover for "Honey" and how serious they looked during live performances around that time can really tell something was up behind the scenes.
