Good news, the cover Pokémon is not appealing me so much but I am still happy!<3
For the Pokérap song, it reminds me of the french one which was so good (and the 1st generic too so much that Loverin Tamburin did a cover version!) :

I wish they could adapt this melody and sing it in japanese of course but oh well!^o^"

I wonder how will "Pokémon Ieru Kana?" sound in their voices haha

I read the news last night, and I'm really excited for this release!
i just (finally) heard the full preview for Yoake no Ryuusei-gun, and I'm liking it.  The medium tempo is nice, and the lyrics are great.  I can just imagine a midsummer night with streaking meteors in the sky....
 
Of course, I'm excited to hear their version of Pokemon Ieru ka na?  I've always liked Imakuni?'s original version (and the special Ieru ka na, baby? version) over the newer ones.  I actually haven't heard Tsuruno Takeshi's BW version before (despite knowing about it), so thanks for posting it.  I thought for sure that it would be an original Pokemon song for the Pikachu short or even a cover of Matsumoto Rika's Mezase Pokemon Master.  Still, I'm anticipating how SCANDAL's version will change things up to a band sound. 
 
Heh heh, I wonder if they got all of the 151 and not forget any like Imakuni?....w
I'm looking forward to the Nico Nama and already reserved a timeshift just in case.  I can't wait to hear them sing it live...!

Ah, if you can't tell, I'm a big Pokemon fan, from the original generation.  I was happy to learn that all of the girls are Pokemon fans, but I can't train as much as Mami....w

I think it was intended to just name the 150 Pokemon and excluded Mew who was born from a joke of the programer Shigeki Morimoto, even if at that time of the song, around 1997, Game Freak already revealed there was a 151 Pokémon, they maybe wanted to keep still a mystery around that Pokémon I guess!^_^"

I just read on a french pokemon website that a special 3DS XL edition for the movie will be released but just in 10 copies and to get this 10 copies, you have to send back a postcard that will be found in SCANDAL single edition (probably the Pokémon one)!!! (°o°)
Can someone tell me if this is really official?
Sorry for the double-post but it is a news so well...^_^""

@Yuffie
It's official

@sillentdx
Well that's a good news, no doubt it will increase the selling of the singles!^_^

i am gonna order this on cd-japan. yeah! o/

I'm still amazed that our girls got the deal on the latest Pokemon(movie) soundtrack, which is like a multi-billion dollar franchise that every person know even my grandpa lol. and by the looks of it Nintendo/gamefreak is backing them up BigTime. which is good. very good.

so.. having loved pokemon as a kid, and a diehard SCANDAL fan as an adult.. combine them.

one can probably imagine how happy i am right now..

its surreal. Epic even.

did we already have the lyrics/composers names? because on this site the credits for yoake no ryuuseigun are

Lyrics / TOMOMI & Hidenori Tanaka

Composer / Hidenori Tanaka

Produce / Seiji Kameda

most of the time, that site is right, so I wanted to post it

Yeah, that info was released on news sites when the song was first announced in the beginning of April. I've had the info in the first post of this topic ever since then.

^ didn't saw it, my fault ops

But we still don't know the official credits for B-side Your Song right? I expect it to be full SCANDAL but maybe someone else made the music.

SCANDAL-sama, release the official covers already I can't wait anymore I want to see them!

Could be, I guess.  It kind of makes sense since Imakuni? forgot Saihorn (but included Mew) in the Ieru ka na, baby? updated version.

Although, in the PV that was included on an old Pokemon VHS, I believe, they clearly show Mew's card.

I hoping that they either fit Mew in after Okorizaru or shout it at the end where Raymond usually says that Imakuni? forgot one.

still no clear information on the content of the DVD??

refer to a live presentation 
or tour documentary

They're tour documentary videos, from what it says in the descriptions on Sony Music Shop: "A total coverage video of the live house tour from 5/1-5/11/2014 in Hokkaido"


Also, an instrumental version of "Pokemon Ieru Kana?" will be included on the Pokemon LE.

Footage from their tours have always been one of my favorite kinds of Scandal-related media.
Great to hear we'll be getting some from one of their latest tours with this upcoming single.

I remember when I first discovered the band and came across the videos from the Temptation Box Tour Documentary. Watching the way the girls were off-stage and behind the scenes made me fall in love with them even more.

Tour documentary? I just thought it was the concert's songs like what they did for the DVDs from Departure single.

Hum I loooove documentaries about SCANDAL but I really would like to see some songs they played during 「Kyuu ni Kite Gomen. in Kita」! Their setlist had songs of STANDARD that we don't have a video yet and even Rainy!

Spoiler:

Well we will see what it would be but I'm dying to see STANDARD, Namida yo Hikare, Rainy and even HARUKAZE. Praying they includes these songs  .toj.

covers???

holy shiz!
it looks lovely  .wow.

Waaaahhh!!♥ Even with the low quality they look awesome, can't wait to see them in HD!!!\(^o^)/
And of course, it follows the space/comet theme!

A little bigger:




I have a feeling they might officially release the covers tomorrow or so, to coincide with their performance at Osaka-Jo Hall. They tend to release new info and such around significant days/events.

Nice covers, pretty unconventional

The cover looks amazing! I also like how "unconventional" it is, as you said ^^ 

That's good to know then. I'm waiting for the HD! Since both DVD's are the same, I need to choose based on which cover I like better aha. The regular edition cover is my favourite but I can't (or should't) buy more than one  .fustrated.

I like how the jackets turned out. I was hoping for a spacy theme, based on some comments I read, and I wasn't disappointed.

The actual content for the DVDs hasn't been announced yet, have they? I was hoping that they were different, hence the differing catalog numbers....

It's looks very interesting and artistic! Now we need HQ  .clap. 

My favorite one for now seems to be the regular, the one I didn't buy T_T
