Affected regions = every country in the world except for Japan lol

It's probably very likely that their music will also be up on iTunes/etc. at the same time it goes back up again on Spotify/Apple Music, which they said is coming soon.

As for the reason(s) why they had to take them down in the first place, there are obviously plenty of fan speculations about that. Officially, the band has never addressed the problem, so it's unlikely they'll ever say what the real reason(s) was/were.

Thanks so much for your knowledge and assistance as always!  I’ll be anxiously awaiting the return on iTunes.    Apple’s made it difficult to manage US and JP accounts.  I need to use 2 devices due to the 90 day rule . I know this may wishing for too much but I can only hope they will add the videos too when they make the music available in the US again.

SCANDAL's YouTube channel just made most of the band's albums available, "provided to YouTube by SONY" no less. The channel is rapidly adding new subscribers too. What's up? Happiness!

Here in Europe we still have to wait (like for Spotify), on Scandal's Youtube channel only Honey and Masterpiece are available in the albums playlist.

Just came here to post about this. Don't know if I'm late or if they just got available in my country.

Just like with Spotify, Best Scandal and Baby Action are missing.

I'm so happy when I saw they provide the English subtitles in the video XD

Love this diary concept, getting to know the members' thought is always nice.
And, it's only once per month? Aw, wish the video is longer tho... Hahahaha

I just saw this OMGGGG! So proud to be in this forum.

i cant wait to see more!

Wonderful job on the subtitles.


Listening to Haruna on wanting to finding her own way of singing. I am interested to see how this will go as I was reading Dave Grohl was saying about their new Album he wanting sound less like Foo Fighters past years.
To me it sound like Haruna want to go down this route, could there be shift in balance on songwriting for this up coming album. I laughed when Haruna was just about to sing, then cut back to her sitting again, what a tease that was. I thought we will hear a few seconds of a song  

Seems like Haruna has had a growing desire to have more input into the way she sings their songs. But because of consideration of the other members and time constraints it has been difficult. Would be interesting to see if she does decide to do so going forward. Watching this reminded me of this interview during their HONEY promotions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hemR2modYSg .

Thx for the sub.. really appreaciate it. And wow scandal is putting content on youtube now!!
is this what they said about doing something that cant be done with sony?? eventho its short and the content is release only once per month i gladly appreaciate their effort as they are already veteran in this scene and still have passion to do it. Idk if other jpn act also do something like this. But kpop group always does something like this. Its still a baby step but its a huge step for me. Thx for catering to international fan!!

Nice to see Haru, she's on the way to 33 and seems to be growing into her beauty. 

I'm quite interested to hear her own way of singing a song without outside interference or taking other peoples comments on board.  Tsuki has been her finest moment as a "Haruna" song in my opinion.  I love to listen to it while driving. : )

A job well done. Long may it continue

Thanks. A question for those who understand. This thing on Haruna's neck, what is it for? for warmth? To sing better?    I'm don't know anything about this  

@ Meph1766 I don't sing myself but like you I would guess it's some sort of heated pad to help keep the muscles in the neck and throat relaxed. 

Love video diaries gives a real insight into what goes on behind the scenes and the subs are excellent  

This is a great idea for them. They clearly took a lesson from Rina's success. Not only will it generate revenue, but it will drive traffic to their channel. I hope it's really successful.
It must feel good to be trusted to accurately convey their feelings in a very different language. They must hold you in high regard. Deservedly so.

UPDATE: 75% of the YouTube comments are about the subs, lol.
UPDATE: Things I'd like to see:
30 minutes of practice ending in "Please Please Me"
30 minutes of practice ending in 'Linda Linda" with Mami singing lead in punk outfit, Tomomi on the only guitar, Haruna on bass.
Mami vs Tomomi in a $20 outfit challenge at Mode Off.
Haruna vs Rina in a $30 outfit challenge at Don Quijote.
Laser tag.
Carrying the Olympic torch.
Serenading a nursing home.
Being recognized in public.
Trying out a Fender Acoustasonic guitar.
Trying out over the top exotic makeup. Think Vegas trapeze act.
Massive roller coaster ride.
Build your own pizza/hamburger/sandwich
Playing "Mystery Date"
Waiting for a bus, I really don't care. Anything.

^Unlucky Morpheus does very regular Q&A on their YouTube channel, it would be nice to see her Scandal members do the same. Though Rina has already done it a few times on her personal channel. 

Wonderful, thank you for sharing it here! 

Scandal always make me feel positive.  I hope they continue for many more years to come.

nice, we can see behind the scene of the mv shooting!
wish they release more often tho  

nice, new content!

Mami is wearing the same Reebok facemask that Rina is wearing in this VLOG  

As I understand it, a state of emergency was again introduced in Japan. Good for them have complete the tour without canceling some concerts.
