Shadow Hunter is the Japanese release of the original movie. Basically, it's the Japanese subtitled edition of the original movie. The original movie was already in theaters last year in places like the US and Canada, but this is the first time it will be released in Japan. Also, a second movie has not been filmed yet.

Thanks! I got everything! .hail.

Meh I thought you guys posted here because we got a news about the song   

One month to go, I wonder if the song will be promoted or if something will happen like a full release of the song somewhere (digital?).

Yesterday i watched this movie and it's so awesome .wow. 
I think that movie deserves the SCANDAL song as it's OST :3

"Rainy" was broadcast on tonight's episode of SCANOMICS.

Oh...MY...GOD...  .omg.   

That intro! The whole song is awesome!

As expected to be honest hehe but really great. And it's such the opposite of Departure lol, they really play a lot of different "styles".

waaaaaaaaaaa!!!

I can't wait for a hq version of this song >_<

it sounds so cool

OH MY GOSH, that bass line is so Tetsuya-ish, the kick drum sounds perfect like OOR, the arrangement of the song is sooo inspiring and the guitar solo is so WAH-ish. Overall : PERFECT. Now lets wait for the real HQ Ver.

This is pure awesomeness.
Waiting for the release date just got A LOT harder. And it was already really hard 

Great one! To me, having such a song on the same single as 「Departure」takes on its full meaning.

OMG I'm so in love with this song!  .dies. 

The girls are doing really amazing stuff, wouldn't expect any less from them. Can't wait to hear this and also Departure live.   .wow.

Dat electric guitar

If Standard, Rainy, Departure are any indication, SCANDAL should just make their own songs from now on, seriously. 

Also, does anyone feel like they're getting spoiled?

I doubt they are suddenly going to make only songs of their own, doubt it would work with their crazy release schedule.

As you say, these songs are amazing and I hope SCANDAL keeps going like that and make more songs.

I hope so much this single makes a record sale, that would be so great and important for them!!! I did my part, pre-ordered the 3 editions!

A powerful rock song, I am just a little disturbed by the decresecendo riff (I am sorry, I don't how to call that and I am not a musician player ^^") that makes me think of Shunkan Sentimental intro.
Ah, if only they agreed to change their "crazy release schedule" as you said HMTM, they could have more times to do their own songs indeed and no doubt it would be awesome!^_^

Rainy... To me is somewhat a combination of Shunkan Sentimental, Love Survive, and probably Metronome... Haruna's voice fits the song perfectly

Just heard RAINY. Spectacular, incredible, I really like the somewhat dark vibe going on. Haru's voice is really good for this kind of stuff. Shunkan-like diminuendo or not, the song is...is.... indescribable.

They can be very proud of themselves for coming up with something that rocks this hard, this powerful.

I'm in love with the song, I can't stop listening to it.

Well to be honest when I think about it I currently don't really wish they change this schedule. I love them so much that I love having new songs/CDs on a very regular basis.

I think they should do a mix where they keep this pace but also take some time to compose their own songs like they just did. I know a lot of fans would love only "100% SCANDAL" songs but they shouldn't rush the process and take step by step.

Since their debut they have been involved with the lyrics and the songs were awesome even if someone else did the music. Now they want to compose more music and their songs are totally awesome but it would maybe be difficult to go to this extreme so fast.

They should do a slow transition and not change their whole process suddenly. But clearly so far their 100% SCANDAL songs are amazing .toj. 

I know this single isn't even out yet but I am soooooooooo curious about their next one to see if it will be again a pure SCANDAL or a "normal" song (= someone else does the music) like they mostly do.

@HMTM
Completely agree with you!^_^

I agree wit macdyne73

I loved this song from first listen and now that I've listened the full song, I can finally say that I LOVE RAINY!!! awwww :3

The combination mix of sound with Haruna's voice is sublime!
Unfortunately I don't understand the lyrics but... Rina not let me down, I'm sure! xD

I'm proud of them... ROCK ON SCANDAL!!!!! ^_^

This song was amazing! Somehow, while listening, if felt like SCANDAL but at times it felt like a whole other band was playing. It does have a part that sounds like Shunkan, but that's the only song I can really imagine sounding like it. Rainy is a great song, and it does fit better as a B-side, if you think about it. Now to wait for the lyrics and a translation...thanks for the share!

I really love Rainy.
After hearing the full version, Rainy is a lot better than I expected it to based off the preview we got in the trailer.
Haruna sounds absolutely perfect honestly. Her voice really does suit darker sound songs, she's got the perfect range and sound for songs like Rainy. I adore the way she sung Rainy.

I'm also pretty impressed with the guitar solo near the end of the song. I'm really looking forward to seeing how that'll be played on stage - or how the entire song will be played on stage for that matter. ^^

The girls did really well with Rainy. Their skills at composition are getting a lot better and they're getting better at lyrics as well. They're really growing as musicians and I think that growth is pretty evident in Rainy and Departure.

The song is addicting on top of that too lol. I can't stop listening to it.  .love. I love it. The girls did so well on it. I'm very proud of them.

I definitely got some FLiP vibes with the style of guitar playing, especially during the bridge.

Same, I didn't think I would like it that much from that movie trailer, but it's pretty solid. I'll probably like it better the more I listen to it, which usually happens with SCANDAL songs

It is a heavier sound than I've ever heard them play before. BUT I LOVE IT ROCK ON \m/ MAMI'S Guitar is awesome

^^ I agree; I also think this is the most heaviest song of theirs to date. Heck, I even hear some post-hardcore/metal undertones through the instrumentals. 

And I've waited for Tomo to do some slapping and popping again (lol I don't think Awanai counts) and just like in Shunkan Sentimental, she does it during the descending chord progressions. Rina's pedal work is really good in this track and Mami's use of the wah pedal in her solo was awesome!

I really want a PV for Rainy. I can imagine the PV being in a really dark atmosphere with them playing in a storm while flipping their wet hair around XD I think it'd be really badass lol. 

Like others have said, I really do like SCANDAL's musical direction this year; I'm not entirely sure if it's due to them composing and writing their own tunes, but honestly, if it is, I really do hope they keep it up.  

Thanks for sharing!

Sadly I doubt we will get a PV for Rainy now. This is actually why I hoped for Rainy to be the next single with Departure as b-side ^^ It also means will will never get the instrumental track which is a shame on such a great rock song.
