Yes, CDG it's the airport code for luggage tag at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.

I wonder if the chinese restaurant on Mami's T-shirt is a real restaurant?

The Chinese on Mami's t-shirt is broken I'm afraid
It doesn't quiet make sense, I was discussing with the Chinese fans as well (I read Chinese). The dish is also a plate of chilli prawn/shrimp, which many of the Chinese fans didn't recognise as its more of a common dish in Chinese restaurants in Japan

I think that's all she wanted to convey. It doesn't need to make complete sense.

It doesn't translate like that, this is where machine translation doesn't work, its missing many potential kanji/replacement kanji. Even the Kanji used for "restaurant" is rarely used. So will be like an Engrish t-shirt.

Yeah, I know it's on the Engrish side. I'm not trying to refute that, and I'm not saying in any way that she was going for accuracy.

I'm just trying to justify why she put that phrase on the shirt, and that what Google Translate spit out for me (and it's likely she got hers by also using an automated translator) is probably close to the idea she's trying to convey--something to do with a good restaurant. The so-called meaning doesn't need to be deeper than that lol

FEEDBACK posted that starting July 23rd they will go back to their regular schedule of being closed every Wednesday (after they reopened in June, they have been closed every Monday to Wednesday).

  Haha this is awkward, I'm a native Chinese speaker and didn't quite notice the "broken Chinese" until you pointed it out. Though, depending on how the phrase is used, it can actually be correct. For example, 带我去 (bring me to) 你最好的饭馆 (your best restaurant) is grammatically correct. It just sounds off because no one actually says that; people more commonly say "bring me to your favourite restaurant" instead of "bring me to your best restaurant". But as TGE said, so long as we get what Mami is trying to convey, that's good enough   

Mami's shirt really called out to me because chilli seafood (or chilli anything, actually) is well-loved in Malaysia/Singapore. For a second I'd even thought it was inspired by their visit to Singapore for C3AFA 2019, but then I remembered Chinese food is probably common in Japan too, which you've also pointed out   Still, so gonna get one!

Seems they'll be shifting to online sales.  I hope they didn't need to let any of the staff there go

Gosh, that's sad. These are really tough times for a lot of people, I tend to be a little insensitive to the hardship of others, since I'm retired and can stay home and not put myself in danger just to earn money to live on. It's not something I consider often, the stress people must feel, having to worry about keeping their jobs, and at the same time worry about staying healthy. This is a sobering reminder.

Awww, that is sad, it is the same in the UK, many shops will never reopen now, people are not going to queue outside in the rain if they can buy the stuff online, our High Streets will be sad and lonely places though.

An end to an era. Will be sorely missed.

Visited Autumn/Winter 2014, Winter 2015 and Winter 2016.


Autumn 2014.

April and December 2018



.waaa.

Guess I'll never get to visit the main store  .plank.

...but this means that whenver in the far-flung future I end up visiting, I get to go on a pop-up store hunt like they're rare Pokémon  .picture.

Guess it's nothing but Proxy Shopping Services for new merch in the meantime!

Am really sad to hear the store is closing permanently, the Scandal members must be disappointed.   Hope this means their new online sales strategy includes international shipping, for better outreach to international Feedback customers and Scandal fans.

How come the Feedback store is closing?

I moved your post to the correct thread.

The band has not given an exact reason, but it's probably safe to surmise that the pandemic hit the store hard, the same as many other businesses around the world. After all, they had to temporarily close for two months earlier this year (April to June).

Doing temporary pop-up stores, which they say will be done in the future, is now the better option for them and will cost less than constantly maintaining one store.

Didn't realise today was the 7th. Regular size is sold out.

Great. But I would prefer that they also make these masks with the SCANDAL logo.

Also new items photos in the Feedback Instagram, but it's sad, they have a low resolution

I want that teal one so bad  .toj.

Nice choice. That's what I ordered!

And regular masks are back in stock, too (when I was on the site at 8pm JST).

I saw that they opened a new online Feedback store.
https://feedback.official.ec/

And it contains only feedback products. There are no SCANDAL items. They are still in the store

I just wanted to know if anyone knows why this was done? Sometimes it was more convenient to order from one store. Will there be 2 different store  now?

I personally don't know the reason but it makes sense, though. FEEDBACK is SCANDAL's fashion range and they want to make it distinct from the band's range of merch. Not every fan of the band are necessarily a fan of the FEEDBACK items, and vice versa.

"More convenient" is no biggie either. If you are a fan of both, go to both stores to get what you want.
