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.

ブッ飛ばしてやる
さっきまでアイツ 強気な発言
だけどオロオロしている
まじにオドオドしている
繋いだ手を振り解いて
後 振り向いてばかり
バレたとこ勝負
もう後に引けない
たとえ道行く人が
画面を写メに
ニヤッと変えても
愛が欲しい 花一匁目
お坊ちゃまはセーフで
卑怯者は圏外
人の噂なら 気にしてないよと
抱き合った後の 言葉は嘘なの
スキャンダルなんか
ブッ飛ばしてやる
いつだってアイツ 強がり発言
ならばオロオロしないで
そうよオタオタしないで
本当(ほんと)の気持を知りたい
二人のこれからのこと
カマ掛けられると
突然 頭
まっ白けになって
アイツの中の駄々っ子
仔猫のように
逃げ足が早い
夢はいかが 行きはヨイヨイ
いい訳なら沢山
自虐ネタは要らない
人の目になんて 振り廻されない
今日までの愛が 本物だったら
愛が欲しい 花一匁目
都合のいい女と
まさか思ってたりして
二人で居てもなんか淋しい
陽炎の中でぼんやり
アイツが滲(にじ)むよ
アイツが見えない
The Scandal song 'SCANDAL' is a powerful anthem about believing in oneself and persevering through difficult times. The song begins with the singer admitting that they have said 'I have no choice' before but then recognizing that their small thoughts cannot change the world. Life isn't always full of happy things, but the singer still wants to maintain a smile and have faith in themselves. Even though they recognize that they're being tossed around by gossip and other distractions, they remind themselves that tomorrow is a new day and they can overcome their concerns. The chorus, with the repeated lyrics 'Oh スキャンダルベイベー' ('Oh, Scandal baby'), serve as a powerful reminder that the singer won't give up or give in to scandalous rumors about them.
The second verse builds on the optimism of the first, with the recognition that life isn't always just about happy endings. The singer reflects on a particularly poignant moment where they saw a sunflower sprout in the midst of ambiguity, which serves as a reminder that even when things seem uncertain, it's still possible to find joy and beauty. The passage ends with the declaration that they can never be strong if they're only breathing with sighs and that they've always believed that miracles can happen.
Overall, 'SCANDAL' is a song about persevering in the midst of challenging circumstances and believing in oneself even when others might not. It's a powerful call to stand up for oneself and stay true to oneself in the face of adversity.
