Our fan club tour is complete!
The finale was in Sapporo
Thanks✌︎
It made me happy that we had people listen to
Our current performances of songs from many different eras
And being able to do a fan club-only tour
Truly filled us with courage
It was a fresh tour until the end!
Ah, we switched positions☝︎ haha
We'll do something special again
For SCANDAL MANIA✌︎

We went to go see the illuminations at Odori Park
It was beautiful〜

Yes I saw the 'Scandal Baby' video and loved it Happy

Being a bass player I wanted to see how Haruna managed on bass but the sound quality was very poor, they sounded very Punk just like their early days.

Can anyone tell me how those nurse/medical masks are supposed to work? I've seen them gaining popularity and more and more people are wearing them. Don't tell me the "to prevent the sickness from spreading" because it creates a perfect incubator for germs, a perfect warm and humid environment for them to multiply. So basically I wish those white things will get traction in my country as well because they kinda look cool

As for why RINA is wearing them in these pictures, it's most likely for warmth because it's pretty cold in Sapporo.

But the recent surge in masks’ popularity isn’t entirely the result of a desire to give people the cold shoulder. On the contrary, an increasing number of people are using masks because of their desire for warmth.

Japan gets pretty chilly during the winter. Thankfully, the layered look is definitely in, and as the temperature drops, you can bundle up with tights, undershirts, sweaters, parkas, gloves, scarves, and caps. One thing that’s hard to do, though, is keep your face warm.

Granted, you could always pick up a ski mask at the sporting goods shop, but effectiveness aside, you’re going to get some strange looks wearing one anywhere other than on the slopes. But since Japanese society has already gotten used to people wearing surgical masks outside of the hospital, you can safely put one on to keep your nose and cheeks warm without attracting any attention.

I would think with Rina's sense of style she would be sporting a nice scarf to keep her cheeks warm.

Wow they surely marketed them well, from that article I can see some look a bit different from those in a hospital no wonder since u have from where to chose. Also I think the psychological aspect is far more important here, the article even mentioned a few good points.
A reason why I see them choosing the mask instead of a scarf, a shemagh or the other weird looking huge scarf thing is that the mask can keep small particles out (perfect for allergies) and you don't have to adjust it every time to cover your mouth.
