Sweet, I love it when Rina and Mami work on songs together.

So I guess we might.be  getting something along the lines of Shoujo S or Girlism,  that'll be pretty cool. Can't wait to hear it. 

Shoot... most of my top songs were either written by Rina or Tomomi... now that got me excited even for a little bit.

[quote="thoseguiltyeyes"]On the LINE MUSIC live stream they just announced that they're inviting girls only to the PV shoot for "Sisters" in August in Tokyo! That's pretty awesome. Wish I could go! haha.[/quote]
That's awesomely cool, I wish I could go too. This is one in a thousand chances of a lifetime, and would help boost our confidence within ourselves more. *Wondering* I wonder what day in August? 

In my opinion Rainy is one of their best songs, and that one was written by Rina as well.

Got a feeling "Sisters" is going to be a landmark. 
It's interesting to look at RINA's lyrics. Those songs seem to follow certain themes… think about Tokyo skyscraper, Bright, One piece, Koi no gestalt houkai… 
"Sisters" is going to be powerful! Onward and upward, SCANDAL!

M wrote:I'm happy that they're coming back full force. Now that Sister has just been confirmed (announced, actually lol) I hope the other rumour about the girls not releasing an album is not true. Though they really do have a lot this year (Stamp, Sister, Documentary) I hope they'll still release one.

The girls are working hard this year huh? But I'm sorry to inform you that Haruna did confirmed in a pass interview that they'll not be releasing an album this year,I guess too much is going on this time and the Hello World buzz is still in effect.  But IDK,  who really knows? It's Scandal 

On topic, in the promo pic it looks like they were having some sort of slumber party, it kinda looks like they're in PJ's. Maybe we'll get some more info about the single  in August since July is still all about Stamp!
Most likely the b side is gonna be used for some project or event since their recent 2nd singles of the year(Kagen no tsuki, taiyou scandalous and Yoake) b sides, are always used in something.

I think it's a given that we won't have a new album in 2015, with Hello World being published so close to the end of 2014, and the word tour putting their usual schedule completely out of sync, and then their extensive workload and all. Now that they seem to be focusing on writing songs by themselves, it's only normal that the creation of the next album will take a little longer than usual. And then they'll maybe even wait until next summer for the whole 10-year anniversary thing.

back number released last month a summer single called "SISTER", and the title-track is kinda up-tempo, so...

Love this promo pic, it's cool and weird (HARUNA's bad bro style is glorious). I'd love if the covers look like this. Maybe the polaroid effect is part of a trilogy (?); I mean, maybe this repetition is conceptual. And yes, RINA's lyrics are so emotional, they always touch me in a very specific way. I remember when "Pride" single came out and I was instantly obsessed with "Emotion". Ahh, those days...

Different sites have slightly different descriptions of "Sisters":

「Sisters」, the title track of their new single, is a rock tune with lyrics by RINA (drums, vocals) and music by MAMI (guitar, vocals). Further details will be released at a later date. The official site of SCANDAL's label currently is taking applications for women to be extras in the music video shoot for the new song. Those who are interested may apply through the dedicated form after checking the recruitment conditions.

「Sisters」 is a girls' rock anthem, with music by MAMI (guitars, vocals) and lyrics by RINA (drums, vocals). In addition, they are currently accepting applications for women who are interested in appearing in the music video for this new song. The shoot will be held on 8/6 (Thu.) in the suburbs of Tokyo.

And here we go!
I read the title 'Sisters' a couple of weeks ago from untrustworthy sources, but it appears that it was actually true.
Still waiting for my package containing 'Stamp!' though. 
If they continue like that, I will be broke by the end of the year, take my money   
Sleep -> Work -> Buy SCANDAL

SCANDAL will be doing a collaboration with NYLON JAPAN (fashion magazine) for Sisters.

SCANDAL×NYLON JAPAN is doing a collaboration!

Does it mean that there will be a CD + photo book edition?

rinrin151091 wrote:Does it mean that there will be a CD + photo book edition?

I doubt that, because they only do those for albums. Rather than a full-on "book," I think it might be more like the pink photo booklets they've had inside of the CD cases for most of their past singles.

But we'll see; we won't know anything for sure until we get more info about the single.

I was wondering that also as it does say CD packaging which I would take to mean the CD case itself. 

Also are they in the newest NYLON issue as I noticed they posted a pic of it on twitter or is it just in relation to this  announcement?

graftenberg wrote:Also are they in the newest NYLON issue as I noticed they posted a pic of it on twitter or is it just in relation to this  announcement?

Neither one of those. RINA simply said they're preparing for a shoot and she's reading NYLON.


What NYLON posted on their site is all that we know about the single/collab so far. We'll only know specific details when they're announced at a later date.

The photo book is most likely just a booklet included in the single.

new single again ? :D very fast

In the Rock in Japan interview, Rina describe Sisters as being a danceable tune. 
Rock + Danceable = something like ESY or Orange Juice.

Does anyone think that Morning Sun will be the B-side? (They previewed this song at the RIJF festival). I really want to see the PV, and better yet, hear the preview to this song.

^ it looks like b-side will be named LIFE IS A JOURNEY and it was made by tomomi actually

at this point I wonder if morning sun was a wrong fans's supposed title or scandal will release the song + the one for the documentary in the near future

Well isn't the t-shirt she designed also has a quote saying... Life is a Journey, Let's Take a Ride... haha... well can't wait to hear it, I loved Kan Biiru maybe i'll like this b-side better

reilachii wrote:^ it looks like b-side will be named LIFE IS A JOURNEY and it was made by tomomi actually

I'm pretty sure Morning Sun is a separate song, since a lot of fans did say it was called Morning Sun, and Scandal usually announces the name of the song right before they perform it. 

Plus Yeah another new song, so far we got Sisters, Chiisana honoo, Life is a Journey, Morning Sun, and the Birthday song, can't wait to hear them all 

LIFE IS A JOURNEY might be an all Timo song...maybe, it has this Bright/Place of Life vibe just from the title.   hope we get to hear Sisters and the b side some time soon.

Rina stated that she wrote the lyrics inspired by 60s vintage movies, maybe the music will have this Vintage Retro 60s vibe.

JPU will release "Sisters" digitally (iTunes/Amazon) across the UK and Europe (they also released "Stamp!" today)
