SCANDAL's new song 「Morning sun」 has been written as the theme song for the movie 「Neko Nanka Yondemo Konai.」 that will be out in January.

Starring in「Neko Nanka Yondemo Konai.」, a movie adaptation of the original manga by Sugisaku, are Shunsuke Kazama, Takeshi Tsuruno, and Mayu Matsuoka. It has heartful content depicting the communal lives of boxer Mitsuo, who is a dog lover, and two cats.

「Morning sun」 is SCANDAL's new song that was written after watching the movie. The members have revealed the thoughts they put into the song: 「We were asked about doing the theme song, and as we looked back upon the movie many times, we felt that it's a work that's like sunshine in the morning and wrote a song called 『Morning sun』.」 「We made an emotional, gentle song. We'd be happy if it gives you a refreshing feeling after the credits have rolled.」

In addition, SCANDAL's documentary film 「SCANDAL "Documentary film『HELLO WORLD』"」 will be out in theaters nationwide from 10/17. Fans should not miss out on it.

SCANDAL's comments

We were asked about doing the theme song, and as we looked back upon the movie many times, we felt that it's a work that's like sunshine in the morning and wrote a song called 『Morning sun』. An awkward Mitsuo and the freewheeling Chin and Kuro. Coming to love things that you dislike due to the influence of your precious partners, having an interest in a world you didn't know about, and having your heart being changed are all very wonderful. You and your partner's hearts may change unexpectedly.

As long as you have feelings for your companions, you'll always be connected no matter how far you are. We made an emotional, gentle song. We'd be happy if it gives you a refreshing feeling after the credits have rolled.

Star~world96 wrote:The movie should be out sometime this month, does anyone the exact date? 

Q. What was the movie 『Neko Nanka Yondemo Konai.』 like?

HARUNA: The cats Chin and Kuro were so cute!

RINA: They were!

TOMOMI: They were so healing.

All: Right?

RINA: The movie's filled with moving scenes that are touching and warm your heart up. I think it's a great movie to see with your family, friends, and loved ones.

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

Q. Did you become aware of anything in making the theme song?

MAMI: First came the request to do an emotional song. This time, the lyrics were handled by RINA. The two of us watched the movie and then went back and forth with each other every day [regarding songwriting].

RINA: As I was watching the movie, I wrote down my thoughts and lines that I liked. The first thing that came to mind was the owner who dislikes cats realizes that he begins to love them. By discovering that part, his life gets better. It's a great movie that shows someone being able to change themselves, so I wanted to put that essence into the song as well. We finished up the song with that kind of message included in it.

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

Q. What are your recommended highlights for the movie 『Neko Nanka Yondemo Konai.』?

RINA: In a scene when [the protagonist] thought the cats would come when he called for them, they didn't come. It gives off a tsundere feeling. There are so many scenes that are adorable and will make your heart twinge, so the scenes where you see the cats' reactions when they're called for are all highlights.

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

Q. What do you like about cats?

MAMI: Hmm...they warm you up in the winter when you carry them. I really like the feeling of happiness they give you when you feel their warmth. Also, when they play with and snuggle with you. It's the best.

RINA: I had a cat when I was little, an American Shorthair. When I would go into bed, the cat would join me and sleep on my neck. It was so cute; I loved it.

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

Q. Is there something you want to convey with the theme song 「Morning sun」?

RINA: We talked about this a bit earlier, but we'd like for you to live on while cherishing the partners who are always by your side. For the movie, it would be the cats. In normal life, it would be those such as lovers and friends. In our case, it would be the band members. We'd like everyone to cherish their partners.

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

HARUNA: We will release our 7th album 「YELLOW」 on March 2nd! We took the year of 2015 to make this album. All of the songs this time have been self-produced by ourselves. It's an album in which every song was carefully packed with the events while on our world tour last year and on which we experienced many things, so we'd be happy if you'd listen to it a lot. We will also be going on tour. By all means, come out to it!

RINA: We'll be waiting!
