On the eve of the concert, our media crew have a small interview with SCANDAL. The 4 girls are polite, strict but also brings about a hint of shyness, creating a feel of band of fairies rather than a rock-and-roll band.

When being asked about future plans of Asia Tour, the leader as well as lead singer, Haruna express that they hope to open out to overseas market, holding big-scale concerts in areas that are beyond Japan.

Coming back to Singapore again, SCANDAL finally have a chance to step into our local casino, playing small bets!

So, is there any secrets that cant be said out among the 4 girls? Tomomi instantly revealed that Haruna is scared of chicken. Haruna explains, "I was scared when I saw a chicken during a meal time." So, Haruna has phobia of birds, and she will escape ,and chase them away if she sees any birds. Tomomi says, "I'm afraid of insects, so Haruna and I would help each other to chase the animals away, haha!"
