The book arrived yesterday and it looks amazing! Here's a quick flip through of it:




Again, thanks so much to everyone who submitted something for it and/or donated! We hope to get this to the band a few days before their anniversary!

Fantastic!  It looks great!  It'll be neat if we could see an eBook version of it.  Excited to see the band's reaction upon receiving it.

We won't be doing that for privacy reasons. That's why quick flip through was done. Some submissions/letters are pretty personal, and I doubt the people who submitted them would want them to be made public.

The book looks great, thank you for doing this. Do we know if they have someone to translate letters from English for them?

Thankfully Google Translate works well for easily translating printed text.

Makes sense! Understandable

Also, here's a video of our flowers where you can see that they were in the middle of flowers from Caless, ePlus, Meiji, and Fender!

Wonderful flowers and video. Its neat to see it next to the other bouquets.  

Were you able to find out if the book made it to the band on time?

Yes, it arrived on August 15th. A staffer also confirmed when it arrived.

We probably won't get any public acknowledgement from the band about it, but on the 22nd I sent all of the members a message on IG (via the SH IG) reminding them of the book and how it has a video guide on how to access the AR features, which also includes clips from the trips we've taken to see SCANDAL over the years.

TOMO replied with this:



So at least TOMO definitely did check it out!


Also, my friends and I had sent a few gifts to the band along with the book. Part of the gift included a Badtz-Maru seat cushion + plushie. TOMO posted this IG Story on August 17th:



More confirmation that they did indeed receive everything

Awwww I saw that Badtz-Maru clip TOMO posted, it's so cute! 
I had no idea you + friends sent that as a gift, love it! ^_^ <3

Fantastic!  At least we know they received the book (and your gift!).  Hopefully it brought some smiles to their faces when they flipped through.  Thank you for following up!
