During their ten year career, pop-rock girl band SCANDAL have amassed over 73 million views on YouTube, toured around the world, and produced seven studio albums, each one having made it into the top five of Japan’s official Oricon album chart (YELLOW reached as high as #2). On 3 March 2017, a two-disc self-titled best of album will be released on CD and digital formats in the UK and Europe via JPU Records. The collection features 34 tracks, as well as two new songs.

Formed in 2006, Haruna Ono, Mami Sasazaki, Tomomi Ogawa and Rina Suzuki have had their tracks featured in a number of TV shows and films, with HARUKAZE used in Bleach, while Shunkan Sentimental was featured in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Their track Yoake no Ryuuseigun was also featured in Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.

Along with the aforementioned tracks, the best album also includes; SCANDAL BABY (“If SCANDAL was a country, this would be its national anthem!” says bass-player Tomomi); most recent single Take me out (“I really enjoy playing this live and hearing the audience sing back the chorus,” states Rina); EVERYBODY SAY YEAH (“It’s a cheerful song. We can feel united jumping around and singing this one,” comments guitarist Mami); and Awanaitsumorino Genkidene (“This song is very special. It was our first to be released after fulfilling our dream of playing at the Osaka-jo Hall,” reminisces lead vocalist and guitarist Haruna).

Of the new best of album, RINA (drummer and vocalist) said, “This is already one of my favourite SCANDAL albums! Fans voted which songs to include, and then we picked the order. It makes our previous songs sound different. There are also two new songs; FREEDOM FIGHTERS, this is a rock tune that we cannot wait to play on our next overseas tour; and HELLO, which is more of a heart-warming song.”

The limited edition CD and T-shirt bundle features a T-shirt collaboration between SCANDAL and popular Harajuku brand Candy Stripper. All versions of the album bought direct from JPU Records will include a poster and lyric translations and transliterations.

The album is available for pre-order now at Amazon, while the limited edition CD, poster and T-shirt bundle is available direct from JPU Records.
