Is it a lewd drawing of the band? xD ahhaahaha.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the story behind the artwork.

(For those of you that don't know, google search "scandal OVER DRIVE album art" and its the red background with the yellow drawing, I can't post links at the moment sorry)

The members are supposed to be nude, lol. The covers were drawn by the Japanese actor/writer Lily Franky. He was supposed to write a song for SCANDAL's first album back in 2009, but he apparently never finished it. Then, in early 2013, he appeared on SCANDAL's TBS TV special Ano Hito to Scandal! and apologized for not completing the song. He later gave a completed song over to SCANDAL along with a letter, which had the drawing on it, and they decided they wanted to use the drawing as the cover for OVER DRIVE.

No wayyyy, aahaha. I find it surprising that their management and label would publish something like that xD
