Guys, I'm begging you NOT to please post any spoilers here! I wanna feel some suspense until I play my record on the turntable, hehehe. Just chillin!

Haha, same here. Im resisting from the temptation cos i wanna be surprised ;p

Ahhhh 「Love in Action」 is so beautiful~ lalalalalalalalala~
A relaxing song~ Thank you, Jikan!
(Radio Rip? Is it broadcasted in SCANOMICS?)

!!!! Ty!

Surprised by the start and then suddenly... TIMO xD

It sounds nice! But it's a bit "experimental" to me, not sure how to explain it =P Lots of different sounds/effect, etc wow. But it sounds great I like it! .love.

Could this be the "experimental" song they talked about in some blog? Can't exactly remember but I think one song was described like that?

Anyways, I think I need to listen to it many times to truly enjoy it but it sounds good .love.

.clap. Yay its out! I've kinda gotten over the rape replay hype but it is a good song.

I love the composition of Love in Action, truly Mami impressed me!^o^)*
For Onegai Navigation, I think it is going to be my favorite song of the album with Image, so powerful rock song, the chorus is fantastic, well everything is great in this song for me!♥♥♥

Love in Action's arrangement is definitely unique — I'm pretty sure that at this rate, HELLO WORLD will be a better and more rocking album than STANDARD! Onegai Navigation still definitely takes the top for me so far though.

wow Love in Action sounds almost like a math rock song!
I like it, it's a happy song but not just a simple ballad.

"love in action" is properly stylized in all lowercase letters, guys. No letters are capitalized.

Nope; RINA already mentioned in this blog that the "experimental song" she was talking about is "Oyasumi."

This time there's a song where I'm on main vocals for the first time︎【Oyasumi】 is the title
The experimental song I had written about on the blog is about this song

It's still a 4/4 song so I think it's very far from a math rock song. The "messed up" pattern is technically called Syncopation and it's very interesting that Mami came up with it, I wonder if she listens to Djent once in a while?  .lol.

I thought Maths rock as well but yeah I  think syncopation would be more correct.
LOL on the topic of Djent I'd love to see SCANDAL produce a djent song so that Rina could use her double pedal.

LOL I feel like this is the first time for me that I've heard syncopation in a pop-rock song and outside of my musical theory or jazz/blues songs, haha. love in action is quite the odd number. Yay for more experimental! I can't say enough how much I love Mami's compositions lol.

Graduation
Lyrics & Composition: HARUNA
Arrangement: Atsushi

Oyasumi
Lyrics: RINA
Composition: RINA, Keita Kawaguchi
Arrangement: Keita Kawaguchi


It's the song that RINA sings main vocals on! Also, with a length of only 1:25, it's pretty much just a snippet since it's less than half of the song's full length of 04:36.

They're mates with tricot. I wonder if bits are rubbing off on them.

Well this is already their best album. Love in Action is just amazing. Rina's song is different but mellow, sweet.

I am just so amazed by Graduation, Haruna did a great job with this song!!°o°)~♥
Concerning Oyasumi I am not fond of Rina's voice, especially that it is quite auto-tune on this song but it is better than Koi no Hajimari wa Diet.

You can tell the girls really poured their heart and soul into this new album.

This album is getting more and more interesting... can't wait -_-

Am I the only one here that keeps hearing Congratulations instead of Graduation? LOL, yeah probably, haha. Even though I don't understand a lick of Japanese, Graduation is one of those songs where you can really feel the emotions despite the language barrier. I have to admit, that bass-vocal interaction near the start is amazing! 

Oyasumi is a pretty good song, but honestly speaking, I feel like Rina's voice sounds like a lot of other Japanese artists out there which isn't necessarily a bad thing per se, but personally I prefer voices to be unique. I do like the guitar parts though! I wonder if someone's (either Mami/Haru) messing around with the electronics on this song — it could be like Kill the Virgin?

You summarized best my thought!

Wonder the same, and which guitar Rina is playing too!^^

They're really doing a great job on composing now!
I totally love Onegai Navigation and Graduation!! Especially Graduation
It gives me a warm feeling and I love Haru's voice there .toj.

I have very high expectation on this album
Glad I ordered the T-shirt edition!
