Even before QAT, actually. They've alluded that they always have been more "experimental" with their B-side songs, as they talked about in this interview regarding ENCORE SHOW.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nainai Night 2014" is definitely not what I was expecting either, haha. I wonder if they'll perform it on their world tour.

Nainai Night sounds so cute~
I feel like I wanna pinch Tomo's cheeks lol.
Mami's the one in the backing vocals, right? Anyways, I can't wait to hear the whole song. Mami mentioned about playing the flute recorder there too  .clap.

you can hear the full version here:

 


I laughed a lot, when Tomo sang Yumemiru Shoujo Ja Irarenai

I can imagine the picture of the girls singing Nainai Night with their acoustic instrument surrounding camp fire at the beach.

I love the feeling of closeness this song has. Like, it feels like they could be right here in the same room as me performing that song. And the way Tomo sings is just too awesome .smile. 

And Mami going with that recorder!lol
Never did I think I would hear a recorder in one of SCANDAL's songs. But I like it~

So hilarious and gorgeous at the same time I like it much more than Image. Image sounds slightly replaceable with other songs. But Your Song as B-Side was in my opinion also better than Yoake.

What a cute song by SCANDAL! Love Timo-chan's voice and Mami-chan (presumably) recorder solo

that song make me laugh HAAHAHA!!! what a funny song 
.happy. .lol.

LOL this is so funny and awesome. Timo's voice and way of singing, the lyrics, the instrumental, they're all funny and amusing :D

Haha it's awesome Really nice they have a song like that now and use it as a b-side.

I agree that Image is cool but is a much more "normal" song like they have most of the time. NaiNai is different/crazy and this is great sometimes !!

.love.

100% happy about this song. Full Timo's voice, full Timo's mood. Flute solo. Completely unexpected.

I didn't see that coming!!!
Nai Nai Night is a very cheerful song!
Plus, I think that's a recorder solo  .clap.

The single has been shipped today!^o^)* I can't wait to have it and hear in better quality Timo's song and to leaf through the photobook!☼

Such a cuteee song hahaha I was literally smiling like an idiot the whole time. And the recorder part. Totally caught me off guard. I actually read the comments before I listened to the song but I really didn't expect it to sound like that haha I really like it. Its really different from their other songs and its fun to listen to. Nai nai nai nani mo nai XD

The experimental songs they make never failed to amuse me lol.
Since the song has a camp-ish (like gather-around-the-bonfire) feel, I feel happy about it. I'm guessing Haruna on tambourines, Mami on recorder and guitar, Rina on cajon! Hahaha
The songs so cute~ Even the 1 2 3 fow~!
can't wait to get my CD lol. [Delivery's not yet here...]

TOMOMI-raculous happy girl strikes again @_@

Oh my gosh!!!°o°) I received my package today!! I am so surprised because I didn't expect to receive it so soon via EMS! Sooo happy!!
So here are the content:

I am so glad to hear the songs in high quality!~♪
And it is not a surprise, the lyrics and music of Nai Nai Night was composed by Tomo!^_^)
Concerning the photobook I really enjoy it, I prefer that one to the Yokai single one, some of the pictures have been taken when they were doing the [Hello World] shooting so it is really nice!^o^)~♥
There is also a part where we can see them wearing the T-shirt of the limited edition, that's fun!

With all and sundry receiving the single in the post, I checked to see what's up with CDJapan not sending it to me yet. When I checked, I note that I ordered it with Hello World - looks like I'm getting it like next month. Hahaha. Oh, well. I'll iTunes it for now if they have 'em...

Image is in the 13th place in the first day 
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2014-11-18/p/2/

lots of well known artist this week hope the sales figure is close to their previous pre album singles like Over Drive, Pin Heel Surfer, Love Survive, etc.

13th on first day???! That sounds bad :/ It's just ranking we don't know the sale numbers yet but still...

That's actually the worst result since... Sakura GOODBYE in March 2009.

Well let's see. We know the singles releases just before the album don't sell very good compared to a normal single.

For reference here are the sales of the pre-album singles :

Yumemiru Tsubasa : 7.450
Namida no Regret : 12.176
LOVE SURVIVE : 17.250
(HARUKAZE : 33.095 special case with the best album and also anime BLEACH)
Pin Heel Surfer : 13.585
OVER DRIVE : 19.208

These singles all got in the top 10 on the first day (between # 5 and #10). Hopefully they can still get close to the 19k mark from OVER DRIVE.

Doesn't sound too good for Image, stats wise But I'm OK with that if HELLO WORLD makes a new record in 2 weeks

I'm constantly amazed at how fast Japanese postal services are. CDJapan shipped the single on Monday, and today I received a letter from the Swedish postal service saying I had a package to collect, which means that for them to send me that letter through mail the Single must have arrived yesterday. 2 day shipping with regular air mail!

.omg.

9th on 19/11 : http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2014-11-19/

Let's hope it gets up and up and up =P

.wow.
