freedom fighters is definitely scandal's response to everyone asking them to go back to their "rock" and "early days" sounds. gosh these girls can ROCK.

the beginning of the guitar solo reminds me another mami' solo, but just with this lq version I can say I prefer freedom fighter. can't wait to watch a live of this song. who know who composed this anyway... betting on haruna or mami

Here is my take on the radio rips of the 2 new songs. HELLO somehow reminds me of Ashita no Ashita, maybe Tomomi or Rina wrote the song. Those 2 usually writes the emotional songs.

FREEDOM FIGHTERS. Now this is SCANDAL moving to their roots once again, but now with their evolved skill and style. I would like to see this one live.

HELLO - I like it, it's a pretty good mid ballad rock track,  I like the drumming and the lead guitar riffs.  My guess Rina probably wrote this number. 

Freedom Fighters- Oh Wow,  such a cool track, l love it.   .clap. I love the intro and the hook. This song actually sounds like something FLiP would make, but with a Scandal twist. This song will sound awesome live,  I wish I can see. 

Overall, I'm enjoying both tracks, they both showcase Scandal skills with their instruments and are in tune with others. 

Fun fact: they actually posted a Instagram  video with them practicing Freedom Fighters, I thought it was another jam session.

Thx a lot for posting it.

Freedom fighters is awesome.
Also Hello is very good(YT version sounds better then daily motion). Both are  way better than the songs from Yellow. If I find this album at a good price on Amazon or Google Music I may buy it.

I listened to "Freedom Fighters" first and big smile came to my face as soon as I heard the opening chords.  It rocks; it's fun; it's going to be a good live song.  As others suggested, I'm assuming Mami wrote this one.


I liked "Hello" as well.  It is more upbeat and poppy than what I anticipated.  I was worried it was going to sound sappy.  But this too sounds like it will play well live.

I seriously wonder which new idols MAMI is following these days and ahhh if she likess BiSH that'd be awesome  .love.

Their poses last time around were also very laid back so I don't think these promo pictures are much different, it's just Mami lol

Hello sounds like a slice-of-life anime theme and I am so weak to that kind of intro riff. Before I know it I keep grouping up things so I guess for me, this is in their Morning Sun realm. A warm atmosphere and mid-tempo. EDIT: Thank you for the lyrics! I love it, creates such a beautiful imagery. 

Freedom Fighters is awesome as expected <3 I like how always have that one hard number that reels us in, like Flashback No. 5, Rainy, Onegai Navigation, Heaven na Kibun, Standard..

Yes, I am one of them. Happy Freedom fighters is pure fan service in musical terms.

Haruna looks pretty attractive on these promo pictures.

Wow, Freedom Fighters is pretty hardcore. That drum-beat actually reminds me somewhat of Stereopony, and it's a really lively, "have-to-jump-to-the-beat" song. Sounds heaps of fun.

As for Hello, I really don't know what to think - it has a very "generic anime OP" sound as waning_moon mentioned. Because the music doesn't stand out, and I can't understand the lyrics just by listening to it, it's lacking the instant attraction. The one thing that does stand out in this song though is Haruna's voice: it's REALLY nice, it has a softness you don't often hear, so I do like that A LOT. Does make me wish I could understand the Japanese language though for a full appreciation of the song when just listening without the subs.

Thanks so much for sharing the vids, thoseguiltyeyes

I love Freedom Fighters! The timing and riffs remind me of MIYAVI and anything neo-prog rock. Perfect fit for a New Japan Pro Wrestling PPV or a theme song of a sentai series!

I don't think "Freedom Fighters" is a response to anything the fans have to say about their current direction.  It's not like the band has forgotten how to rock, "Onegai Navigation", "Image", "Heaven na Kibun", "24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae" being just a few examples of that.  If you wanted something in the garage rock vein, "Happy Birthday" from Yellow fit that description.  I appreciate the new voices and sounds they are discovering to express themselves.  Their early sound was as much a product of their youthful exuberance and gung-ho attitude as of their still learning how to play their instruments.  You really can't go back to that fully and why would you?

I thought "Freedom Fighters" was great even listening to it as a radio rip.  I loved hearing the guitars chug. I didn't think I would hear that from Scandal.  Haruna's vocal intro was spine-tingling!  I loved the way she slid up and crescendoed to the end of that phrase with a big excalamation point!  "Hello" is faster than the winter ballad it was described to be.  It sounds ok, but I hold off on a serious opinion until I hear it in HQ.

My thoughts exactly  .uhuh. I've never given up on them when it comes to making good rock music. To me,  FF sounds too advanced to sound like something from their earlier days,  they are really growing as musicians.  Happy Birthday and Life is a journey are good examples of indie days Scandal sound, honestly. 

- I was hoping the t shirt would have a bit more color to it,  or the same style as the jacket covers.  But still a cool looking design, they are really pushing for the black, Rock- esque style t shirt  design for these albums ,huh? (Yellow and Hello World T-shirt's)

by wishing scandal to go back to their early days, people also mean that they should stick with being a rock band with rock songs (without obliviously forgetting their upgraded ability as musicians - how could they forget them?)
 I'm not personaly in this group of old fans (even if the girls' rock songs are usually my favourite), but I can see where they're coming from and I can totally see them enjoying freedom fighters's kind of instrumental more than hello and I can also see them hoping scandal will continue releasing songs like this more and more.

old scandal and old sounds is something that pop-ups once and then and it's perfectly okay with a band 10 years old. a band composes music also to please the fans; to me freedom fighters was for the old fan/the one who prefer their rock side. that's all

Don't get me wrong, before Yellow was released, I was hoping there would be some harder edged songs on there because I enjoy it when the ladies let it fly.  In the end, I want good songs and I was very happy with the variety they gave us and that this was truly something from the band and no other voices. I like it when bands I listen to continue to grow and evolve, although not all their experiments work.  Even bands like U2, R.E.M., and Echo & the Bunnymen(all bands that are Godhead to me) have thrown out a few clunkers, so I wouldn't expect everyone to like all the material, just respect the journey Scandal is taking and that we are along for the ride willingly.

Yes I'm glad of their diversity - Take Me Out blew me away when it first released, just like a lot of people really like Freedom Fighters now. And then they have their less impressive rock-wise, but still musically solid, songs like Hello as well. 3 quite different songs, but each with their fans.
