Japanese do love their pokemon, so i sure hope that helps their sales!

That's what I'm hoping but I try to not get my hopes too high because even if it's a Pokémon song we cannot be sure they will make new records. It should with SCANDAL + Pokémon fans yes but it's not sure. It also has 4 editions this time so this should help a lot with the numbers.

Lately, and as Departure prove it, they always sell good so I have no doubt Yoake will make good sells (+30k~).

But what I would really love to see for them is to make a huge hit with the help of the Pokémon brand and fans. Something like a 50k sell or even more, something that would be really huge for them and the charts so that more and more and more people learn about them and can see how amazing they are!

That being said i love them and if Yoake doesn't sell good then so be it! I just think it's a huge chance, everything seems to be set right for a huge record (Pokémon brand with lots of fans, used in a movie, good sells with the latest singles, 3 arenas almost sold out with a nice promo, etc).

I have no idea what's the difference between the 2 limited editions, could do some research here since I'm sure you all already explained what comes with each edition, but as I'm not the type of guy who buys eveything just to add to the collection, I'll make a guess and shoot in the dark here. There's no tracklists, just different... locations? Well, I think it's the same event, so let's go with the best looking cover, I guess.

Too bad my day off is just today, and the single will be out tomorrow, but I think big stores may have the single already, I'll be "konnitsuta'ing" later and with some luck I can get the single in the afternoon. I was a huge Pokémon fan back in the day, I wanted to get the Pokérap by SCANDAL, but I'll stick with my cheapness and brokeness, and get only one version as aways.

I'm guessing that what you're referring to are the DVDs that come with the LEs? They were both shot on the same tour, yes, but the content of both of the DVDs fairly differs from each other. I had posted what the differences are here:

I've seen both, and basically: LE A = them sightseeing + a few clips of their live shows. LE B = them throwing around ideas for constructing "Your song."

Wow! Thanks a lot for the super fast reply! Now I can leave home knowing what to get!

Really, Team SCANDAL should get you to work there and promote the band to foreigners fans. You already do an awesome job doing that here, and I feel that SCANDAL deserves better promotion aimed to fans like us.

It's been a while since I visited SH, but I'm glad I can get this kind of information here. Will come back later to do some reports.

haha that would awesome if something like that happened. They at least definitely need someone to proofread the things they try posting in English.


Anyway, they're pretty late on this, but the images of the first press stuff are finally out:

■B2 poster if ordering from these stores (CDJ is included)


■Original coaster if ordering from the 4 usual stores:
□TOWER RECORDS…feat.HARUNA

□HMV…feat.RINA

□TSUTAYA…feat.MAMI

□Shinseido…feat.TOMOMI


■Original notebook with stickers if ordering all 3 editions from the Sony Music Shop


■Pokemon Edition only: 「Mega Diancie & Pikachu」 B2 original poster
If purchasing the Pokemon Edition at nationwide CD shops (with the exception of some online stores), you can get a 『Diancie original poster』

Dat Notebook >.< i want....

Just looked on some stats about singles and realized that they never got a single on #1 Oricon daily ranks.

The highest they got was with Taiyou Scandalous that reached #2 daily rank on release day. Of course they got a lot of daily top 3 with several singles but never reached #1.

Maybe they can change this with Yoake  .clap.  I suppose this will be a good indication if Yoake can break some records or not. Of course it depends also on the other artists' releases ^^

Go SCA-chan!

Not trying to be a pessimist, but it won't be this time SCANDAL reaches no.1 in sales with a single. If I'm not wrong, I think I saw new releases by both Kiss my feet (that Johnny's group, I'm not so sure about how it's spelled) and SMAP (another Johnny's). The usual suspects aways get the top spot...

Anyway, Tsutaya managed to have Yoake no Ryuuseigan one day before release date, is this what they call "flying get day"? Or is it only when you preorder it?

Well, I gave it a few listens, and... I think SCANDAL can do better. It's just an opinion based on first impressions, the songs may grow on me with time, sure. Heck, I hated Kagen no Tsuki the first time I listened to it, but then it became one of my favorite songs. But as of now, Yoake feels like a nice summer song, and that's it. If I were to compare to the previous single, Departure felt like an instant hit from the moment I heard it. It felt like the SCANDAL of nowadays, more mature, more capable of providing complex songs. I don't think Yoake is a bad song, but it gives me the impression the composer needed to complete a song to go with the Pokémon movie and just throwed it at the girls.

I liked Your Song better, it feels like it really can bring the mood up, especially during lives. Just like 24ji, it would be awesome to open a concert playing it. But even so, Your Song makes me wonder if I didn't heard this kind of song coming from countless other bands. It's energetic, it feels good, but if you are picky, like me, it feels kind of generic.

It's not I'm hating on SCANDAL, I just know they can do better. And they did not so long ago, I loved every little bit of Departure and Rainy. But then again, it feels like the girls had time to work on both songs, without external influences. As they are now grown up women and have experience creating music, I think no one can make songs better suited to SCANDAL than the girls themselves.

The presentation, on the other hand, is perfect, everything about this single looks gorgeous. I got the Limited A Edition, and didn't watch the DVD yet, just skipped through it, and the girls look cute as ever. The poster is really nice, but I didn't get Mami's coaster, maybe because the store I got the single from is a Wonder Goo with a Tsutaya inside it...? I don't know really, it looks like the "Tsutaya" part is only the rental corner. Back on topic, one thing I think is better this time than Departure's is that the DVD has almost half an hour of footage, instead of just 13 minutes.

You can call me weird, but I would rather buy a single at double the price that had both version's extras, than having to buy the same thing twice just to get both DVDs. I don't know why, but having separated versions feels more like a rip off.

Sorry for the wall of text, but my opinion on Yoake is not that positive, though that may change in the future. If it don't, at least I can keep on listening to Departure on loop until the next single or album, because that one is a masterpiece.

just had a look at some of the other things being released this week here, and I definitely can't see them hitting 1st, as much as I want them to, due to 2 artistes: Perfume and SMAP. SMAP as a part of Johnny's is always going to be placed high, and girl group wise Perfume far outranks SCANDAL in terms of popularity (their last single sold better than SCANDAL's record on opening week, and that wasn't even their best). At best a 2nd or 3rd place is possible, but definitely not a 1st. Still that's good enough at least for me, I'm content with them having a top 5 position

Well it's dependent on other releases so with what you are saying it looks like the #1 spot is out of reach sadly but who knows there is always a bit of hope and maybe the power of Pokémon can help.   

Would be nice to get a #1 but even without it they could break their records so in the end I really hope for a good sale, the #1 spot is more of a bonus   Staying top 2-3 for the whole week would be great too.

@Rank57: Well it's impossible to love every song on the same level obviously, there is nothing wrong to not be crazy in love with Yoake. I sometimes also need some time to really like a song and Yoake and Departure were like that for me but now I love them really a lot.

Yoake no Ryuuseigun single lyrics:

https://www.scandal-heaven.com/t10627-yoake-no-ryuuseigun-single-lyrics#666854

My copies of Yoake arrived early this morning.  .clap.  The single is wonderful, definitely. The pictures on each of the cases are very pretty and the booklet was fun to look through. c: My only complaint with the single is the casing that the Pokemon Edition came in. The casing is a rather flimsy one that lets the disc slip out pretty easily. I've always had a dislike for these sorts of cases because it's so easy for the CD to get damaged. I really wish they would have used a regular casing for the Pokemon Edition like they did for all the other editions. :c

Other than that though... Yoake is a perfect single. I'm glad I ordered all four versions. >v< Both of the posters are beautiful~ Especially the Pokemon one~ :3 I feel like I should start hanging these posters up instead of keeping them in their tubes for safe keeping. x)

Picture:

I just received my products!
I like pretty much the booklet even if the first cover is well, quite original with the "f*** you" thingy and the pet that seems to fart, lol so weird!^_^"
There is some pictures too that I don't understand, the ones where Haru and Tomo seemed to give us the finger...  
But anyway, I love also the pokémon edition, very beautiful and above all the edition is not made in plastic which I dislike, so it is a plus!\(^o^)/

Euh BIG QUESTION, what is this? I received it with the Pokémon edition but I can't read japanese so could someone tell me what is written, thanks! (it is related with the pokémon 3DS LL version)

Spoiler:

^^"Pokemon the movie original nintendo 3DS LL" but as you are not in Japan, it's useless lol
