I am definetly liking Suki-Suki, the riffs and lines are so cool.  .upwalk. Its pretty funky and punky at the same time to me.  Gah, I need to hear the full version.

It does say that, but I wouldn't fully trust that source. That description says that the album has 14 tracks when SCANDAL announced that there are going to be 13 tracks.

Wow seriously just the first notes blew me away  .omg. !!!
Such a good song ! YEAH HAPPY ROCK IS THE BEST  .dance.

Merry Christmas everyone by the way  .happy.

Does anyone know if they will release a vinyl version of the album as well?

No, there will not be a vinyl edition this time. If there was, they would have announced it at the same time as the others.

I think I'm in trouble 'cause I didn't like "SUKI-SUKI". Still preferring the singles. Hopefully "Morning sun" is on the tracklist.

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait

Here is the full version of "SUKI-SUKI" from the J-WAVE 「GROOVE LINE Z」 radio program the other day:

Oh man oh man oh man SUKI-SUKI is so gooood .love. 

I was planning on waiting for release date to hear all the new songs, but I couldn't help myself lol

Damn that was hella good. It's like they mixed Stamp! and Flashback No. 5  and created something better.  .smile.

As someone who just couldn't get interested in Stamp or Sisters, I think I safely say I'm sold on Suki-Suki . . . now the only question is what the rest of the album is going to sound like . . .

Can't really tell if it was done intentionally or not, but I'm not really liking the inconsistency of Haruna's voice in this song. It's very nasal on the verse and it returns back to her "normal" voice after that.

The songs really good, it reminds me a bit of Stamp and Image with a bit of Future lol. .smile. .smile.

Yeah, Haruna's voice does seem to sound different in each part of the song, especially the verses.  To me tho I kinda like it. Still I prefer her normal deep voice though

I wanna know the meaning of the song, I have no clue what Suki Suki mean so I can't really take a guess

I had a feeling they would announce something at the Gaishi Hall live.  I was hoping for the album to be finally announced, and maybe a tour. (world tour 2016, since Haruna said something of the sort earlier)

I can't believe how on spot it was....w
Ah, sorry I've been away for so long.... (^_^; )

Rina mentioned that 2016 is (hopefully) going to be a rockier year than 2015 was. As SUKI-SUKI seems to suggest, 2016 will be a SCA-Rock year....
A part of me still wants them to experiment more with different types of rock with this album. Stamp! mixed their sound with American rock, and Sisters was a dance x rock mixture. (Though, I was expecting something more like Doping Panda for dance rock.)
I've mentioned funk rock, jazz rock, and especially dark rock to them on twitter/J-MELO messages/twicast comments, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of rock we'll see next year.

SUKI-SUKI, I'm guessing is 好き好き, which means "like" or "love" (extra-amplified version! w).
I really like the intro, and its punkish sound. They said it's a winter song, but I couldn't really tell....w
I guess I need to listen to it more....w


One thing that interests me, as well as some comments on Twitter, is why they chose "YELLOW" as the title of their album. Is it just a theme color? Or, just maybe, it refers to the color of Asians' skin? Myself being Asian with a yellowish skin tone, it doesn't strike me as odd, but overseas, it could be quite different, right?  One reason I'm kind of hoping it's the latter reason is because, as shown in the recent NHK ABU special, the members wanted to rediscover Japan's traditional instruments.  I'm really hoping they were able to incorporate some shamisen and/or koto in some songs.  Maybe a little shakuhachi would be nice too. For example, something similar to what GACKT does with his JIPANG ROCK songs and their Wa influences. 

I'm really looking forward to seeing what else is being included on YELLOW, especially since it's self-produced....

Is it weird for me to be strongly motivated after hearing Haruna sing "hayaku" in that song? Though I don't understand most of it, it gets me fired up nonetheless  .rage.

Regarding the album title, Haruna answered the question on their radio appearance on 12/24/2015. She said they were in a happy state while making the album and the color yellow was an appropriate representation of that feeling. Yellow also happens to be the color of Joy in "Inside Out"

Thanks for the answer. That was the radio appearance that featured SUKI-SUKI the first time, right?
So, the inspiration was Joy, huh…

That reminds me…I got Inside Out recently, and I still need to watch it…w

So I just pre-ordered the T-Shirt edition. I'm So excited!!

I can't decide between the T-Shirt and the DVD edition
