That's a dressing room from some day I'd like to be part of. With no ulterior motive, of course.

So from what she says here and in the other blog this looks like a heavy song recording period. Are they finalizing the b-sides for the next single or working a lot for the new album already?

It is good the girls are trying out new gears. I see Orange amps, a PRS and (Gibson?) hollowbody.
Seems the guitarist are fond of P-90 pickups.

I'm convinced Rina writes posts like this for the gearheads. There's no other reason to just show all these random photos of equipment.

I finally found the PRS (I didn't see it at first) - that's an odd duck in their collection. I'm trying to figure out what some of these other things are. What is the guitar Mami's playing with Haruna? Is that a Yamaha Pacifica with a dots & binding neck?? I don't get why she'd be playing that when they're so similar to the really high-end Strats she has.

I feel like I should know what that hollowbody-looking guitar is (though I'm not sure it actually is hollow, I don't see any f-holes). But I can't place it.

I don't know what they've used on singles in the past (I don't remember), but it seems like a lot of equipment for a single.

It looks like Tomo's the one that's actually playing that P90 guitar. Although, I might be wrong and it could actually be Haruna. Awesome gear they all have; really love it!

Nah, that's definitely TOMO playing that guitar. One definitive way you can tell is by the lack of a side part on the right side of her head. If it was HARU in that picture we would have been able to see the part (which you can clearly see in the picture with her and MAMI).

It take's almost one Year for every artist to create an album,

And for scandal the single they release before always take place in the album.

So they are already working on their next album I guess, and I am already waiting for this !! .clap.

I agree the girl's creativity bring them to where they are now. And that is part of the reason why we are attracted.
In term of instrument, bassist always favour acoustic instrument. So Timo choose a hollow body (if that is) guitar.
It is possible those new equipments are actually property of other guys. Maybe their producer, the engineer or other musician. They may just pick up and explore the tonal quality of which ever came handy in the studio. A studio is always like that. packed with gear.

that pic of Mami with twin pigtails- is that before she cut her hair or extensions? (Haha just curious)
I'm already excited with their new single coming up and their new album (whenever that is)
I'd really like to see Rina playing the guitar XD The equipments are awesome!

Well RINA knows piano/keyboard already and is good enough to play live songs with them, seeing how much she loves to writes songs I wouldn't be surprised to learn bass/guitar in the future, she seems the most passionate about instruments in the band.

About MAMI's hair, yeah it seems long on that picture =O

Maybe they are doing both actually, creating new songs for the album and will pick one of them for the b-side. I'm not sure exactly what their usual schedule needs to be to finalize a single. It's still 2 months away so I would think it's not done yet but on the other side, they surely plan things like that ahead so maybe they already have everything done for the single (except the MV?).

Ah right, I forgot about the hair parting but it's clearly obvious now. Thanks.

That guitar that Tomo's playing seems extremely familiar too, but I can't put my finger on it either :/ The bridge and tailpiece's shape is pretty odd for Gibson; don't know if I've seen one like that on any of their guitars, even the archtop ones and even the solid bodies.

Rina does actually know how to play guitar. She's mentioned that she'd bought one of those cheap guitar packs in high school and that she played the solo in the recorded version of Koshi Tantan here. I'm almost certain that Rina has also mentioned playing guitar too in past blog posts where she talks about using a variety of instruments to help with getting her ideal sound for a new song and things like that, but I just can't find them atm.

It's this blog:
https://www.scandal-heaven.com/t8366-hey-you-2013-04-06-rina

On topic.
Looking at all of those equipment, it probably is one of those moments when Rina could proudly say to herself, "It's very nice to be a drummer" .evilgrin.

Oh nice then! Soon she is going to create her own band where she plays all the instruments Hohoho Onion

Would be nice to see her play guitar in a live this year.

I think that info was interpreted incorrectly. It actually sounds like RINA just messed around with the guitar effects, and not that she actually played the solo in "KOSHI-TANTAN." Also, in the blog entry that raynsity linked to, RINA had said, "I wonder if I'll buy a new guitarー. Though I couldn't flat-out play it. haha." Judging from those sentences it seems like she can play guitar to an extent, but I don't really think she's that competent that she could have played the "KOSHI-TANTAN" solo herself.

But anyway, this is kind of getting to be a bit off-topic lol

Underneath the picture they wrote that they know that TOMO is playing the guitar in that photo. The guitar apparently is actually HARU's; they also wrote that she used it on their recent Kyuu ni Kite Gomen. in Kita tour.

I have a feeling that might be true about the PRS, the way it's just sitting by itself in the rack (plus it's very different from the "classic" style guitars they usually seem to like).

Mami has a Les Paul with stained wood back and sides in front of her in that one photo too - did she have that before? (That could also be the studio's.) Her blue one should be blue all around.

It seems early to be recording an album but who knows; they like to surprise their fans with new things. And I just don't know what else they'd each need four or five guitars with them for. (Especially Tomomi - she's not using five basses on one single.) I'm sure Rina knows that whenever she posts stuff like this, people are going to get to talking about what it means - no doubt that's the whole point.

Apologies in advanced for going out of topic again lol, but thanks for clearing that up. In that thread, there was a whole debate going on whether Rina was the one that was actually playing the solo or just messing with the effects. Guess she's just messing with the effects after all, but the author of that article/interview wasn't really clear with what he/she meant imo.

Reading the specs of that Guild M-75, they're actually single coils. I thought they were P90s but looks like they're just differently-shaped single coils. Interesting to note that it's actually a hollow body guitar (but with no f-holes). I wonder what song Haruna used her Guild for now; it'd be interesting to see how she incorporates its sound in their songs.

We don't really know if she picked it for its sound anyway, or she just liked the way it looked/felt. Its natural tone on whatever song she used it for could be masked by effects. She's said in magazine interviews that she normally likes a fat tone, which is why she almost always uses humbuckers otherwise.

But it's interesting that it's there with them now in the studio. So more than likely she's planning on using it again, and whatever we hear from them this year is going to have this guitar on it somewhere. Let's see if anyone can pick it out.
