If you guys downloaded anything from Budokan (or better yet, the whole thing) show that to your mates. Emphasise the fact that it's completely live especially all the instruments (except Nanka Buttobase). For individual songs from the show, I'd go with SCANDAL Baby, Everybody Say Yeah, maybe Aitai and Shunsen.

If a gig at Budoukan doesn't impress then nothing will.

Of course, I understand that some people don't care for live shows but seriously, it's where magic happens. People who can't appreciate live music are missing out, in my opinion

I saw SCANDAL PVs before I saw that live clip and I didn't care much for them until THAT moment.

Edit: Ah, the Animax Harukaze video is also good to show but Haru's vocals aren't live. This one is also really good, lots of fun

I made some of my friends love SCANDAL, because of LOVE SURVIVE. But I'm still not sure what was more convincing for them: song or me running around happily when the song started. XD

Love Survive!~

This is quite a hard question, considering that Scandal can be quite diverse in their songs. However, I could have them listen to Shoujo S and Shunkan Sentimental first.

Since SCANDAL is diverse in their songs, I guess I'll use that as an advantage... To someone that isn't much of a rock fan, I'll first introduce him/her to SCANDAL songs that aren't so rock, but also at the same time introducing the other songs that are rock-ish or pop rock. Eventually, they'll be able to adapt to SCANDAL's style.

I have a friend that was curious about SCANDAL, and I know that she isn't really into hard rock, so I introduced her to Sakura Goodbye, Harukaze and Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku STORY. At the same time, I also introduced her to Hi-Hi-Hi and Shunkan Sentimental. After that, she was asking for more songs! .clap.

And actually, what one really need in introducing SCANDAL (or any other artist) to others requires an open mind. You can't receive something with a closed hand (or mind for that matter) after all. So no matter how awesome SCANDAL is for you, if they refuse to accept it no matter how much effort you put on the endorsement and promotion, it won't work.

For me I think is Love Survive and Shunken Sentimental (in this Pv They are so beautiful !), after Welcome Home and why not Cherry Jam xD

SCANDAL BABY, for sure.

Hmmm..... since Scandal has such a different range for their songs, it would have to depend on the person you wanna show it too.

For people who love rock, I would go for Shunkan Sentimental or Nanka Buttobase. Nanka Buttobase has that awesome Mami solo that is just simply amazing! The live of this that was posted in a couple of posts ago would be good to introduce them with. They are totally rocking it and Haruna is just too gorgeous to be missed!

For people who love the calm music, I would go for Secret Base, even though they didn't compose it or write it. It's an amazing song to begin with, but with Scandal covering it, it was just beyond amazing. Also show them the pv because it shows their really close friendship and all those beautiful smiles<3 Just watch the pv yourself and see what I mean: Namida No Regret isn't also a bad choice as well.
