J-Melo broadcast the answer to SCANDAL Questions from  Sunday September 23, Sun.17:10 - 17:40 on

Speaking of J-Melo, I believe SCANDAL was the #2 most requested in the latest year-end, 12th, Awards for 2018. The Gazette was #1.

Yes they were mbowie4321!


I saw that episode as well!

Scandal on J-Melo on April 7th

Thanks for the hint izzy!
I will watch the program.

It was a good interview, you can still watch it on NHK World website.

there will be another show with Scandal on February 2

It's up. They play "Tonight" in the studio in its entirety:

The whole song is beter than I expected.

It's like the Brand new wave or LOVE ME DO from the album. The bass is very interesting.

Was Haru doing lip sync? Thing that I haven't been enjoying from this shows is that voice and music seem fake, same with Saishuuheiki, Kimi. I think that other songs with effects like Koi no Hajimari wa Diet and SCANDAL in the house sound more autentic than this.

Tonight the full version is really much more interesting than I thought after listening the drama theme.

@victor_survive
The same feeling. It's like a studio recording sound, not a live performance.

I have to agree with you, I am not big fan of this. The problem that of the song like Seishuuheiki, Kimi is the backing track and performed live, like the backing vocals of Seishuheiki, Kimi in the chorus or most of the drums in Tonight.

That's the reason why I don't like when band perform "live" in TV Shows like J-melo, it's like if they were shooting a MV. At least the interviews are interesting.

I'm more worried because they use too much backing tracks when they play live, I don't understand why they do that, they are great musicians and the people who come to see them don't want to hear a mix between live and studio version of theirs songs.

I have to share your thoughts. In this case with Tonight, the back beat is one the driving forces and I am not sure how they will perform the song life especially with the electronic sound of the drums. Same problem with Seishuuheiki, Kimi. The backing vocals of this song is on the back beat and not live (shown at CDJ 19/20). 

I am not a big fan of it. I would like to hear an album where they don't need backing tracks or don't use them live. I would rater see like see songs like Departure with live strings instead of a backing track but I think this is not so easy.^^

A lot of their older songs have backing tracks as well and that's never been a problem. It's up to them to decide how they'll play those songs live.

I think that's just how things are done on shows like J-MELO.. They don't have time or space to allow bands to set up, do sound checks etc. Plus they don't want the "mistakes" that usually happen in lives. It's too bad that this is the way they feel they must "bring Japanese music to the world"..
