No, they typically only have one edition of the single that comes before an album.

1. "Yumemiru Tsubasa" (before BEST SCANDAL) - one edition
   
2. "Namida no Regret" (before TEMPTATION BOX) - one edition
   
3. "LOVE SURVIVE" (before BABY ACTION) - one edition
   
4. "Pin Heel Surfer" (before Queens are trumps~Kirifuda wa Queen~) - one edition
   
5. "Image" (before HELLO WORLD) - one edition
   

The only exception so far has been "OVER DRIVE" with two editions. So, as you can see, it's much rarer for them to release more than one edition of a single that comes before an album than it is for them to release just one.

Anyways, with just one version of this single, it would be easier to get more versions of their album. (Specially the LP)
With how Mami described 'Image', I wonder if it would be as fast as Rainy. Well, i'm very excited to get them soon ^^

I've seen Image live at Akasaka Blitz and, if I remember correctly, it isn't as fast as Rainy. And it sounds happier. But I might mess it up with one of the other new songs .sweat.

Well, Blink 182's song 'All the Small Things' goes for 2:48 lol, and it's still a kickass song. I agree with HRMT, I really want 'Nainai Night 2014' to be something heavier or punk-ish within those 2:45 lol. A crazier version of STANDARD would be awesome~! And well, Rina did say she was recording really fast drums a while back in a blog post. Maybe this is it, eh?

Haha, All the small things has been played 1 million time in my CD player back then, was a huge Blink 182 fan

We will see about that song!

Wow full MAMI and full TOMO! This is going to be interesting!

I'm even more interested in Nainai Night 2014 now ^^

songs 100% made by scandal, coudn't ask for better. it truly seems they are going that way... finally!
still wondering why nainai night has a 2014 in its title since we don't have any information of a previously version (or did I miss something?)

19 november is very near to my birthday,great coincidence.
Is the best present of the world for me.

Oh i missed that post. I actually thought about OVERDRIVE first, that's why I said that lol, but it's the exception damn T_T Didn't realize that! Well good to know and it's also good that it's "normal", means nothing changed or is wrong!

That also explains the selling scores a bit, not only is the album released shortly after but the fans cannot buy multiple editions.

My sister will be in Nagoya on 18th Nov, but will fly back to Indonesia on 19th Nov in the morning

I'm hoping that she can buy me a copy on flying get day (18th Nov)
because they usually have flying get day a day before the release right?
Usually on flying get day, do they sell the CD only in just a few CD shop or they sell it in most CD shops?

Yes, she can get the single on flying get day. I'm not completely sure if most CD stores would have them then, but the big ones certainly will (Tower, HMV, etc.). It hasn't been announced yet if they'll have any member bonuses, but, if it turns out that they will and since your favorite member is TOMO, have her try to go to Shinseido if she can.

Thanks, TGE!
I'll ask her to go to Shinseido or Tower Records since it's pretty close to Nagoya Station (she'll visit places near the station on that day)

Have to mark this down on me calender then!

can't wait!

Where could I get a Mami or a Haruna freebie? Since I don't think they have a site like HMV. Is it possible if I request to CDJ? Lol. Thank you in advance! )

As of right now, no member bonuses have been announced. Even if they will have them, there's no way CDJ can get any of them as they'll strictly be bonuses limited to the 4 usual stores (Tower Records, HMV, TSUTAYA, Shinseido). If you want a MAMI or HARU bonus, you need to have a shopping site like Rinkya buy from either TSUTAYA for MAMI or Tower for HARU. You cannot buy them yourself because, as with virtually every Japanese store, they do not ship overseas.

I was just meandering thru' TSUTAYA online for fun and I came across this in the description for  「Image」:

2014年11月19日リリースの記念すべき20枚目のシングル。タイトル曲「Image」は、メンバーのMAMIが詞曲を手掛けた疾走感あふれるロック・チューン。BSフジ『国際女子サッカー選手権 2014』応援ソングとなっている。

Something about the song being the 'cheer song' for BS FUJI TV's coverage of the International Women's Football Championship 2014?

For more info on the championship held at the end of Nov 2014: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_International_Women%27s_Club_Championship

Yeah, you'r right

First I read it too fast and thought it was for the World Cup lol ^^ Well this seems slightly smaller as event but cool nonetheless!

I hope they release the cover soon, I want to see it!

posting it here! Image has being aired at today scanomics episode

 I've been waiting for this, my stress is already gone

It's so good! So full of energy!>:3 
Ppl who got to see it live already are so lucky. It must sound crazy good live .smile.

This is one of the rare ones where only Haru sings, isn't it?haha

I’m surprised Image wasn’t chosen as an anime opening cuz I can so easily picture it as an opening. It has that feeling

Now we wait for the PV. By the sound of this song, I'm hoping it's one where they do more than just stand and play. I love that, but I must say I miss their dancing haha

This sounds great and I'll be honest I think the bridge is partly the sound of Mami being influenced by her BFF Ikkyu-san of that other band

It's really good!! And I agree, I also see it as an anime opening! :D It's so lively aaah~

Heard it and OMG my first impression was " This is a perfect anime theme song!"
If it sounds this cool, seriously, I can't wait to see how's the PV gonna look like.
