Only during the show but not at the Hi Touch

Thanks for the reports!

The set list stayed the the same?

The Setlist was the same, but we got Shunkan Sentimental instead of Shoujo S.

The show yesterday was completely awesome, thanks to the awesome people I have met and a very playful SCANDAL! My favourite member ranking changed slightly yesterday

The party squad in front of Tomomi was on point. Tomo and us pushed each other. She was really playful with us and the climax was when she took my buddy's phone who was filming and filmed the crowd and Haruna. She glanced at Tomo like "WTF?!". When she gave the phone back, we praised her like a goddess which made her laugh, I think. Priceless moment!

Uncoolest moment of the evening was when Tomo came to the front and one guy from behind pushed my buddy so hard that he fell down and almost hit the amp. Tomo went back quickly. But I think she was relieved when she saw how we helped him up and cared for him (he was alright). She and Haruna both came back to us later. I took a step back then to prevent another incident.

Don't know, if that guy was an SH member, but people, please! Especially when you get that close: Show respect to both, artist and other fans, and don't behave like pigs! We want them to come back again, not to scare them!

o i went to the Cologne live yesterday it was fantastic the feeling ... once they came on stage i started to kind of cry without noticing been fan since the very begining can't believe they got this far ! 

The songs were amazing and we shouted for encore and we got a instrumental and scandal baby soo amazing !

I was rly close to them!

Yeah, I heard about that too from my friend who went. SO uncool. It's interesting both clubs in Amsterdam and Köln didn't have barriers. But in Amsterdam it wasn't much of a problem if  there was any pushing as the stage was pretty much chest height.

I went Saturday to the concert in Amsterdam. It was fantastic. A little sad they didn't played Harukaze but it was still a one in a lifetime experience.

I don't usually go to concert's but do you think they will consider the attendance a succes to warrant a return to the Netherlands? There where a lot of people for sure but I don't think it was sold out. Something I really don't understand.

This time I gave Haruna a photoshop picture of them as black and white graffiti on a wall. These hi touch events are rushed way too much, but better than nothing.

Finally I managed to score my ideal position; first row directly in front of Haruna. I also had space enough for 2-3 people, Cologne was somewhat cramped toward the end. When they left for the encore I stepped out for a minute and then went to the side of the stage. It was an interesting angle, should be pretty rare. This also gave me the chance to look at Rina play the drums as Haruna blocks the view of her most of the time. I liked "Image" and "Chiisana Honoo" the most here.

I met Tombery again and talked to him most of the time. I also met Reachie who came from Canada to see SCANDAL. dubbi was there too.  This time I waited for the band to leave the venue. They just walked away on the road, no car to pick them up or anything. I liked this concert better than Cologne. Amsterdam was the best so far though. I will have to pass on the rest of the EU tour until London which will be my finale. For some reason this concert gave me the "it's over" feeling already. I was the last person to leave (and probably the first there, I passed by the venue at 11:00 but didn't show up until about 17:52).

All three venues so far were not sold out. I wonder if this will have any consequences for their third EU tour.

Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it, the more times they go to Europe and more dates they add its only natural that it wont be a sold out concert, for example, if you had a live on Spain AND Portugal, people would just go to the closest one to their home, hardcore fans suchs as SH members that can afford to travel would still try to attend as many as they can but this isnt the general audience, when they first came around Europe we had people coming over from other countries like Austria to attend the Germany live, so it means there was more people there. 

We always hope they will play for sold out concerts but when they go to areas that arent major cities it might be a little hard to sell out.

@Hasenfu 

sucks about the incident, I hope that was just an accident but if it wasnt its bad that the person didnt apologize! I know some people can lose sight of what they are doing when theres a concert going on, I've experienced that myself first hand and its not pretty, hopefully you had a good time regardless of that issue though!

Thanks for answering my question. I hope the organisation is satisfied.

Where there CD's for sale in Hamburg or Köln? Kinda missed them in Amsterdam.

That's my case, university really drains my pokets

A Dutch fan has several videos up on YouTube of their Amsterdam live, including the first one I've seen of Sunday Drive. Guess we're not supposed to give links here but you should be able to find them by searching "SCANDAL Melkweg" on YouTube!

@ Noodles (got a problem with the quotes function) :
Well, he probably didn't mean to push him so that he falls down. But still, we were standing in right in front of the stage. One step further and we would have been ON stage. There was simply no use in pushing, but he kept doing it. However, nobody was injured, and we had an awesome time! But such incidents are embarrassing for overseas fans, that's why I wanted to mention it and remind everybody to behave. Although I'm sure, that SH fans are great people

 Tomomi taking his phone and filming us compensated for everything! :D

Anyone with the setlist for Germany ?

In Köln it was the same as in Amsterdam (Jade already posted the Amsterdam setlist https://www.scandal-heaven.com/t12891p150-scandal-tour-2016-yellow-in-europe#743820). Only exception is, that they played Shunkan instead of Shoujo S as second encore song.
Don't know about Hamburg

Doesn't seem like they'll play Suki Suki or Heaven na Kibun for the rest of the tour...bummer

But it'll be great to see them play that instrumental session before the encore, I love it when they show case their skills.

hm strange i thought i already wrote something down and now it disappeared  .hmmm.

They played Shoujo S and Shunkan Sentimental in Hamburg but sadly i can't remember 
thosguiltyeyes posted the setlist already.

BUT! im 99,99% sure that they played Shunkan Sentimental as well !

I guess they play their anime songs as encores. Makes sense since it's most peoples first introduction to the band.

Here is also a short comment from me about Cologne and Hamburg. Both concerts were awesome but I liked Cologne better.


Thanks to our party corner in front of Tomomi, the heated atmosphere and the following two things. First, the already mentioned smartphone action of Tomomi filming us and then the members and second, Haruna gave the only High Five during the concert to me    I was surprised and really thankful for her kind gesture.


PS: Also big thanks to all crazy and friendly people who I was able to talk to on both days.


Next, I am really looking forward to November.

They played both Shoujo S and Shunkan Sentimantal at Hamburg? That's a change. Either played 20 songs or left out one.

How much time do you have at high touch? Can you say a few words to the girls or just "HI, HI, HI...?"

Can't wait to see them in Milan <3

SCANDAL live in Cologne and Hamburg was a dream.
The energy  from the girls was fill the Club up an no one can stand still .
For me the  best was  to see my beloved Tomo-Chan acting around the stage  and sending her gorgeous smiles in the crowd.
I hope the Girls have the same fun like me  and the whole Club.
                                                                                                                                          Thanks SCANDAL and the Scandal-staff  for 2 evenings that  I'll never Forget  .

Wow, it was amazing. They are great live indeed and as I predicted a few months ago ESY is my favourite live song. It was so energetic. 
I hope they aren't discouraged with low audience and come back on the next Europe tour
They changed the order of the songs a bit (DOLL was the encore and Shunkan was somewhere in the middle) and skipped LOVE SURVIVE. There was 19 songs in total if I'm not mistaken.

On the negative side I wasn't fully satisfied with the sound. Mami's guitar was very trebly and lost in the mix. I had to guess what she's playing during the solos. But that can be expected from such a small club - drums were in the front but turning everything else up would simply make it too loud.
Anyways it was an awesome night, I sooo want to experience it again.  .wow.
