@alrick
what are the others band beside SCANDAL? (I only could read Sutepo, LazyGunsBrisky, Zone, and aldious)

the trio in picture #4 is "Nihon Madonna" (thanks to Jibba for the I.D.)
Scandal was also mentioned in the text in pink, hope someone can translate

the one beside Zone is Negoto, their music is also good rock with dominant keyboard sound

PLAYBOY???
mou, i'm almost die, mattaku...

garage behind SCANDAL seem familiar

^
yeah, it's similar with the one in the background for their potoshoot with shunkan uniform
I think the photoshoot is for a magazine too?

honestly i dnt really like what they're posing(except rina) its kinda erotic and people like them coz theyre different from typical idol groups but seeing them like this its just a no no esp to haru that kind of pose is just lusty and i dnt really like it

i honestly don't like it, i hope this will be the last time they do photo-shoots like this.

I have to agree with the two previous posts.
Those pictures are to revealing and erotic...
Like the second page in chimo's post... Haruna ... just no

EDIT: Question. Is the weekly Playboy here the same thing as what I would normally understand under a Playboy magazine? I am just kinda confused about this.

I don't like it one little bit.Too much flesh. 0/10

This is what I've been afraid of the most, and now it's here. OTL

Exactly what I want to say.

I'm fine with the maturity of shoots like in HARUKAZE covers, but this is too much. Now moar HFM will come out. Hope nothing like this comes out again. D:

Even though I am a huge Japanese idols fan I did not want to see Scandal
like this.
But nudity is considered no big deal in Japan and there is huge pressure to
do these kind of shots.
My daughter has 'Kat-Tun' stripped to the waist, boy bands have to do it too.
But remember they are still the girls we love !

Also they may want to show their fans they are grown up now.

don't completly understand all of this "omg I don't like these photos, they are too much ""erotic""". I found them pretty standard for every girl featured in a japanese magazine shoot ^^'' even if they are a pop-rock band,or gyaru model or even idols, girls usually do photos like these and nothings wrong with it. they ar enot nude I mean lol.
I found a lot of scandal pictures really "idoling", the whole uniforms era was pretty idol concept and even if people (too much "even if" sorry) found them "different from the the others girls", they love see them in uniforms 'cause it's how they see idols everywhere.
anyway, I like this photos. not my favorites, but I like them (:

Hi, I tried to delete a black stripe in the middle of the scan. Sorry that I did not precisely, but I'm not a computer graphic

without the nude photoshoot playboy is a magazine like the others
you have to worry when they are in the nude photoshoot!!

Weekly Playboy (週刊プレイボーイ) isn't related to the American Playboy magazine, but it is a men's interest magazine still. There isn't a ton of nudity usually, it's really more geared towards gravure/bikini shots.

Personally, I think a lot of you guys are overreacting. I think the photos are well done. And it's not like they're taking everything off suddenly and doing gravure shoots. The way I see it, shupure is a popular magazine, and it's good exposure.

I agree with you, I think the name "playboy" scared the people
scared me when I saw the name of the topic, after I look at the photos I calm down!!

@mc~: This is what I'm afraid of too sir.
Ugh! I really hate men's magazine even if I'm a men

@two post above me: We are not overreacting, we are just afraid that our idols become idolize by the dumb peoples who just like erotics.

Although we know that SCANDAL won't do that nude thing because we know that SCANDAL is greatfull to their fans, especially Rina, and love themselves also...and that's the SCANDAL!!!

We want SCANDAL to become popular but not through this, but through musics.
