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.

文字があるとしたら
こんなカンジなのかもって思った
画面にうつるのは くもった私の顔
窓ガラスを越えて差す光
今伝えたい言葉があるんだ
メールでもない
電話じゃウソみたい
夜に溶けてゆく
明日逢ったらキミに伝えよう
飾らないままキミに伝えよう
想いが強くなればなるほど
うまくいかないや
早送りで月は欠ける
明日もまた同じ夜を繰り返すなら
もうこのまま明けないでよ
明けないでよ
部屋の隅に重なってる
読みかけのファッション誌
欲しいモノは何となく増えてくけど
本当に欲しいモノは
いつも目には見えずに
無防備なまま置き忘れてく
幸せは少しだけ怖くって
白い雲を掴んでるみたいだ
そんな最高級の孤独が恋に隠れてる
隙間を埋める知らないメロディー
キツく結んだ髪をほどこう
時計の針はまわりまわって
ヒントをくれるわ
相変わらず輝いてる小さな星
保存されてるキミとわたし
どんな時も傍に居たい
ねぇ 逢いたい
今伝えたい言葉があるんだ
メールでもない
電話じゃウソみたい
そんな最大級の想いが
夜に溶けてゆく
明日逢ったらキミに伝えよう
飾らないままキミに伝えよう
想いが強くなればなるほど
うまくいかないや
早送りで月は欠ける
明日もまた同じ夜を繰り返すなら
もうこのまま明けないでよ
明けないでよ
The lyrics to Scandal's song "Bright" speak to the feelings of hidden emotions and the longing to express them. The opening lines suggest a sense of frustration, as the singer contemplates the difficulty of putting her thoughts and emotions into words. The image of her clouded reflection on a screen and the light shining through the window glass symbolize her inner turmoil and the potential for clarity and understanding.
The verse goes on to describe the desire to convey these emotions to someone, highlighting the inadequacy of communication through text or phone calls. The intensity of the emotion is conveyed as it melts into the night, emphasizing the urgency to express them. The chorus then expresses the intention to tell the listener, without any pretense or embellishments, that these feelings have grown stronger but have not yielded successful results.
The second verse shifts focus to the singer's surroundings, specifically a pile of partially read fashion magazines. The accumulation of material possessions is contrasted with the intangible things that truly matter. The truest desires remain unseen and easily forgotten, illustrating the vulnerability and fragility of happiness. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the ongoing struggle to successfully communicate these growing emotions.
Overall, "Bright" captures the difficulty of verbalizing deep feelings, the longing for authentic connection, and the fear of vulnerability. It explores the complexities of emotions, emphasizing the importance of direct and genuine communication.
