my copy just arrived! surprisingly I even got a poster, although I ordered not so early sadly my cd case has a crack, but I guess I'll keep it, cause I don't want to send it back. Welcome Home sounds really good!
After hearing the full version of the side songs im gonna write a short review
Koi no Diet(im too lazy; forgive me :D) this song is good and i think even better than the songs of other mainstream idols out there. Peace! And it's really a change of music in scandal and we got to have a solo from rina )
Cherry jam - i like the intro, rappers ToMami really did a great job despite not being trained to be rappers and mami's laugh at the end; so cute
Welcome Home - simple: it's my current fave song <3 it feels relaxing and it has a feeling of being welcomed at home and somehow i got the feeling of an anime op song.
Overall the songs are great!!
"For us, the band is more like "life" to us than it is a "job." We're wonderful friends who are sharing life that only happens once." -Rina
Cherry Jam and Koi no Hajimari wa Diet is kinda different from what I've heard so far, but it's very good. I hope Rina sing more often in later singles :D
I am very glad to see all this positive feedback of the single. Got mine today. I like Welcome home the most so far... Don't really like Cherry Jam though
Welcome Home, fam thats 2 sick, Haru voice is back and peng as ever and course fam tomo voice is well piff, fam, thats a sick track
Koi no Hajimari Diet yea fam, tha sick 2 but ill say my least fav out of of Taiyou SCANDALOUS tracks, Rina has some peng voice u no, swear fam she should sing more, lol so cute how they have this mini convo especially Rina voice,
Cherry Jam, fams a hard track, the beat is sick, Tomo and Mami have peng/piff voice even though i dnt understand at they say there bars is sick, bears of sick bar i wanna cat, lol y did they rhythm sun shine and labour its so awkward, but its sick, there beat box is 2 hard, lol Haru and Rina is gassing behind there track, lol jokers.
Heard the tracks yesterday I must say its a quite good single its changed completely from my first impression.
Taiyou SCANDALous- Good as normal Koi no Hajimari Ha Diet- Cute... cool to have Rina literally sing the whole thing and I love the cutsy talk cuts. Rina does sound like a anime voice actor. Chery Jam- Laughed my head off at their hilarity. Mum had to ask what I was laughing at. Welcome Home- LOVE IT! A very refreshing and empowering melody. Sounds suitable for a anime theme.
there's a contest. you can up a video of yourself on youtube and send it. you can dance, sing, acapella air guitar, drum etc and whatever you like. they want you try taiyou scandalous.
it seems when their 14th single is released there's a SCANDAL summit that day and they will call and you could have a chance to talk to SCANDAL during the summit.
SCANDAL is the Most Powerful Japanese Girl Rock Band
HARUNA, MAMI, TOMOMI, RINA!!

"You can go anywhere. You can choose the way to go on your own The answer is for sure not just one
Cherry Jam... Definitely caught me by surprise. It's so weird, but I guess I'll like it coz it's so weird.
Koi no Hajimari Diet.. I gotta say, this is amazing. It's so catchy and I love it. I might even love it more than Taiyou SCANDALOUS. Loving Rina's singing so damn much. Sadly though, the amount of affects/MR/auto-tune used with her voice is just too much. I really don't feel like I can appreciate her voice with all the effects on it. Oh well, it's still one hell of a song. Especially Rina's talking parts where she's kinda talking with Haruna and she just sounds so damn cute.
Welcome home is pretty damn good as well. I see where everyone is saying by saying that's it's the best song on the single, but for me, Koi no Hajimari Diet beats this.
Here's a link to the Taiyou Scandalous single lyrics thread. All of the romaji lyrics are up, and I've already done translations for Welcome home + Koi no Hajimari wa Diet. Cherry Jam is to follow probably some time tomorrow.

i heard Cherry Jam, the intro was kinda surprising O.o
it was surprisingly weird O.o but i liked it anyways cuz its the dobondobond duo! <3
by the way i heard it from youtube, seems that someone uploaded already, i had no choice but to search for the song since i cant order an album T.T im sorry everyone
I heard the songs and...my fav song is from "Almond Crush" duo followed for the song who named the single "Taiyou Scandalous". Amazingly enough, "Welcome Home" is my less fav song on the 3 typed single! I don't know what everyone else is seeing it but everyone has different tastes. In 3th there's Dobondobon duo with Cherry Jam. It's a good song that can stay in your mind forever but it's not the kind a song that I'll listen a year from year and still love it. No offense...I love Dobondobon duo (Go Mami and Tomomi).
That's all, I don't want to have a really long critic to bore you guys

@All Of Treasures: There's no DVD so I'm not sure why they're listing it with one.
