Whaaaaa..!Thanks for the heads up, pacrimguru!
It would be awesome to see Rina solo, she did it skillfully, aren't she?..I envy you!
Flowers for SCANDAL?Darn, it's beautiful..!
And if you don't mind, could you tell us their ID on SH USA group pic? I'd like to know them.. .shy.
I'm sure SCANDAL will be glad wearing those shirt! Awesome!
Well, I've heard WOWOW had an exclusive right to this concert..But I hope Sony would release DVD for the Budokan concert. .please.
Anyway, did Mami or Haruna use new guitar? Well, I've seen white guitar in Rina's blog pic..thanks, pacrimguru! .hail.
Thanks to @hirumakyo and @zechzech for the heads up too..

I hope they would release a DVD/Blu Ray of it .... not just the footage but the whole live itself...

I think most of the artists who played live at Budokan released a live DVD ..... we'll just wait for announcements about that

The live event is absolutely amazing. I am happy to see the girls again.

Here are some of take aways from the event:

1.) An intro video showing the girls do boxing and responding to interviews.
2.) Fire in the stage! SCANDALのテーマ!
3.) Epic bass solo of TOMOMI in the song, Hi-Hi-Hi.
4.) RINA's solo drum performance!
5.) HARUNA, MAMI, and TOMOMI doing a dance cheography with their guitars.
6.) HARUNA, MAMI, and TOMOMI teasing RINA for taking the spotlight.
7.) Featured HARUKAZE for the first time in concert!
8.) TOMOMI's mom and the manager's check!
9.) Sung all the songs from SCANDAL SHOW album.
10.) Everyone spinning their SCANDAL towels in the song, DOLL, to close the night.
11.) Buying SCANDAL merchandise! We managed to buy what we want but waited 4 hours.
12.) Singapore being mentioned!
13.) Meeting SCANDAL HEAVEN members after the event.

Here are some of my selfish nitpicks from the event:

1.) When Rina did the solo drum performance, I was expecting that they will also perform どぼんどぼんど too. But they didn't. Anyway, it's just my selfish request. That song deserves more attention though.
2.) Failing to catch the confetti! We are in the first floor.

Yep, noodles is right. Yes, I am Jerry, aka, "pacrimguru".

Both Tomo and Haru used guitars I've never seen before. Tomo had a blue bass with gold stripes and Haru had a glittery silver guitar with a black skull on it. Mami had a new guitar too, but I don't recall the color. She used the White Falcon too. Rina had 2 sets of drums, her pink set was the main set used and her red set was used for the encore.

^
Nice to know you, jerry! .hail.
Tomo had a new blue bass?..cool! Well, I've already know that Squier made guitar for Haruna and Mami on this blog, I'm so curious to know what it looks like..but for Tomo, it's news for me! .wow.
Ah, Rina still stick to her Angelina as always ..
Yay, I see the news of Budokan here..They dressed and looks like an angel! So glittery, so shiny! Ah, I see those bass and guitar you've mention, Jerry! Awesome..!! Thanks for the heads up, Jerry!Vote casted..!

This was shown in the media thread but this is getting me excited

Your description about RINA is spot on. She also looks a bit drunk when she did her solo.

CANTA (wat) trying to get to BUDOKAN.




CANTA runs into ThoseGuiltyEyes.

...then get on the SCANDAL MANIA Bus...



Dobondobondobondobondo!




Flowers from SCANDAL HEAVEN to SCANDAL:


SH USA Group Pic:


We sat on the arena floor, we lucked out and all of us had either front row seats or seats that were not more than 1-3 rows from the stage. We got to see everything up close. It was amazing to say the least. A big highlight was RINA's drum solo, she played with such confidence and she even played up to the audience with dramatic flare. All girls were on their game last night. There were plenty of cameras there so I'm confident this concert will be made into a DVD for everyone else to enjoy.

We were also successful in giving SCANDAL a set of t-shirts that we made especially for this trip. We hope they enjoy them!:



It was also great to meet the Singpore contingent of SH too!

YaY Pacrimguru for all the SH members you traveled with. The photo of you guys at the bus stop was awesome. Have a safe trip and looking forward to your pics and stories.

Drunk? What d'ya mean with that? Her face turns more red?
Ah, maybe she had few shot of sake or beer..
But, still she's awesome, right? Tell me, she did the solo powerfully with lots of skillful technique?
Well, as @inocoma said, have a safe trip too to all SH members that now currently in Japan..
We looking forward to another pic+stories..We'd love to hear from all of u, guys!
Have a nice day!

LOL she's not drunk, it is just that her performance is really awesome that she is tired smashing her drums. haha.

Yatsuhiro I'm curious what did Tomomi's Mom and Eisuke san do on stage or did you happen to see them somewhere?

woah. ad you had shirts!
i wonder if you also gave shirts to scandal members

its nice if you got a souvenir Scandal Stuffs that the Scandal members used in their performance like Mami's pick..

Tomomi's mom or Eisuke didn't appear on stage.. Just that Tomomi was saying she had no money, then Haruna was telling her that her mom just send in a check for her.. The check amount was about 158k+yen.. And it was total hilarious because Tomomi was like "ehhh?! Okasan?? Hontoni??" then Haruna joked that they would distribute the check to everyone in Budokan.. And she became even more stunned.. Mami and Rina were laughing and giggling too... :lol:

Didn't had time till now to post...
Thanks 320x240 if i am not wrong? for the ticket... Really enjoyed myself
And to the SH USA members it was nice meeting you guys
Hope we all come out on the DVD interview video thing? Not really sure what it was about

I really want to see Rina's drum solo!!! .toj.

~Thanks for the share guys

No, no, chucking tees at them wouldn't have been in good taste. Team SCANDAL had a gift box set up in the lobby of Budokan specifically for gifts for the girls. I handed one of their staff our "present-o" which contained the tees and a note written by thoseguiltyeyes in Japanese congratulating them on their concert and wishing them further success. We also asked them to tour Internationally again.
