Scandal Nanka Buttobase is probably my second favorite song... No one ever mentions it anywhere lol. I love how they all sing and how the vocals change mid-sentence. The song is so cool and the MV is so amusing, I love it.

Flashback no. 5 is another one that figures in my top 5 but no one ever remembers, I can't even find a live performance of it. 

The third one that is on my top 5 and I feel like it's underrated as hell is Emotion. It's my favorite song from Encore Show, followed by Midnight Television.

Flashback No.5 is one of my favorites too. There aren't any videos of them playing it live, not just yet, wait a just a bit cuz they've been playing that song live quite often recently, there will be a video of that soon.

Exactly

Metronome, Rainy, Emotion

You can catch a snippet of them playing it live in the video of Girlfriend meeting them.  It's at 4:32.  The video is on this site already, but you can search on this to find it in YouTube:

Yeap, that's such a teaser! I wish they'd played it on the Special Thanks tour but oh well.

I have been listening to their older singles recently and found a few great b-side songs that nobody really mentions. 

TOKYO from single SAKURA Goodbye 
Natsu Neiro and FUTURE from single Shojo S 
KOSHI-TANTAN from single Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku STORY 
CUTE! and Emotion from single Pride 
Want You from single Haruka 
Kimi Ni Shittochuu from single Love Survive 

If you had just kind of skipped through these songs, like I did, I suggest you go back and check them out, it's really great.

@peachclub
Great songs, and all available together on ENCORE SHOW.  I'm assuming you don't have this compilation.  Even though all the songs were recorded at separate times, the CD track sequence plays as if they belong together.  It's a fun CD, and it contains one of my all-time favorite Scandal tunes, Happy Collector.

@wisenau
I agree.  Very fun live version.  I love the girls' swagger throughout this.  It's one of the videos that really endeared me so much to Mami.  With the exception of waving the glow stick around, she's has a "Johnny Ramone" coolness throughout this,

Also check out this version if you haven't.  It's got them all playing instruments.  Not as fun, but louder.

(I think it's on this site somewhere, but I have a hard time finding old stuff)

I knew it existed but I haven't really paid much attention to it. Now that you mentioned it, I really feel like I should check that out. Thanks, now I have something to listen to for the next 2 weeks.

I think Flashback No.5 is very underrated as it's quite obscure (not on any of their albums). Also I think Kill the Virgin is underrated too

I recently just discovered Mado wo Aketara. 

It just has nice relaxing mood and setting to it. 

It's easily becoming one of my favorite songs!

Now that I think about it, Burn and Brand New Wave are really underrated as well
