Since they shot on location in Osaka (today, I might add; it's what RINA was talking about in her most recent blog), it sounds like it'll be a documentary-type program similar to their MUSIC EDGE one where they went to the places in Kyobashi/Osaka that they used to frequent.

Setting out on a journey this time to search for music is・・・
SCANDAL

The place of departure that SCANDAL has chosen to go out on an Ototabi (musical journey) is
Kyobashi, a place about 15 minutes away from Shin-Osaka Station by train.

The reason why they chose this place is・・・

In Kyobashi, Osaka is the music school
That became their chance to form the band.
Back then, they would each leave their home towns on the weekends to meet up in Kyobashi
And diligently practice.

When the band formed, within just a 500-meter radius from Kyobashi Station
Was the girls' 「world」・・・
This scenery・・・memories of those days of struggles and familiar sounds are brought back・・・
Their feet are led naturally to the band's point of origin.


A prestigious music school in Osaka that has sent off many artists into the world.
Those who welcomed them at the time
Were the school seniors who took lessons together with SCANDAL.
Back then the girls didn't play instruments and were working hard to make dancing their weapon

The girls who devoted themselves to dancing suddenly formed a band following the school's plan.
A band had been formed with 4 people who were barely even acquaintances・・・
Without knowing anything they fumbled along
And went from a life of doing nothing but dancing to doing band activities they weren't familiar with

They started off with a band life that was a mixture of joy and uneasiness.
The nostalgic sounds when they remember those days are・・・

Eight meters from the backdoor of the school.
There's an apartment that the girls used to stay at every weekend.
The noise flowing through there revived their life in those days.


Cake at a famous cafe-restaurant
Next to the school that the girls attended.
They dropped by here on a daily basis as they were returning from practice・・・

The sweet scent of cake is coming from the kitchen.
They always took in the smell while dreaming of the days they would eat it with money they earned themselves.
The sounds when they remember those days from directly above・・・


Those days they would be listening to the sounds of trains rushing by
While staring at cake from the kitchen.
Only on members' birthdays would they buy the cheapest 「cream puff」
And divide it between the 4 of them.
It's been 6 years since then. That taste・・・


The next place・・・

A reminiscent bakery 500 meters from Kyobashi Station.
They would often visit here after practice.
Heading inside after 6 years・・・

Back then RINA and MAMI would go in the shop
And would always receive bread crusts from a lady employee.
They still haven't forgotten that gentle voice telling them to take some home.

It's been 6 years since then. That person・・・

A wave of nostalgia rushes forward when they hear that same employee's gentle voice.

That is a taste of gratitude that must not be forgotten.
They show the employee that they've gotten a little bigger
The next place for the girls who were able to give back a little is・・・


While paying their difficult dues, the girls continued band practice without giving up.
As a result, audiences at their street lives grew bigger
"But, can we truly become pros?"
They asked themselves that.
At that place・・・

Higashinoda Park in front of their school.


At this park, trembling like a swing, they talked about thoughts of becoming pro artists.

They won't forget their initial intentions・・・
The 4 of them talked together at this park and vowed to fulfill their dream of becoming major label artists.

The sound that SCANDAL wants to hear the most right now is・・・
