Since this is our own label, we will be expressing all kinds of things in our own way, more freely than ever before; and we'd like to create songs from "her" that'll give color to everyone's daily lives. Please look forward to what's next. This song will be the first release from "her": a song that'll be the beginning of our future」, and played their new song 「Masterpiece (マスターピース)」.

■■SCANDAL's comments:

We, SCANDAL, are launching a new imprint record label called "her." To be able to make our own "atelier," kitchen," and "playground," we are delighted to be able to relish an excitement like this during the tenth year since our major label debut.
From this point forwards as well, we will be delivering a ton of good music from "her."
Please look forward to it.

This is so freaking exciting!   I can't believe I'm more excited for them than for myself for the year 2019! LoL

This means more exposure for them, right?

With there initial going private record label, I'm sure all the press "mass media" here will be intrigue to interview them ask them about the change when the first single comes out after leaving EPIC.

Good question! I hope they know their fans from abroad will support them in this new step in their career. 
We will buy their new music as much as possible, even if we have to import it from Japan. But I hope that with this new label, they will be able to create a more direct relationship with their fans worldwide (some kind of fan club membership for international fans,...)
