In Germany,
Theme： RINA

---

We went to Germany for 3 nights, 5 days︎
We went to a recording for a special on famous singer NENA's 40th anniversary
Who had the worldwide hit song "99 Luftballons"
NENA likes us
And invited us, but we were so surprised!
To think that things like this happen...
It makes me really happy
NENA was bright, powerful, and a star
She was so cool〜
It was a nice trip︎ We're home now︎

Spoiler:

I'd really like to know if they played one of their own songs or just a version of "99 Luftballons". If second I'm not sure I want to hear that because I don't like that song (yeah, I know the message behind that song but I don't like the melody and Nena).
But as I know my fellow Germans most of them will just ask "Who are those freaking squeaking girls?"

@Keashaa

I am pretty sure they will have played their own stuff because that is what Nena wants to hear and dont be so sure about German fans, I know a lot of German SCANDAL fans.

I still remember they're worried about how they can get used to the food in the West before their first overseas tour. Now you can see how much they enjoyed it in the picture.
Mami looks very good with hat. She got style. And I like Tomomi's cap so much.

This was a tribute show, meaning that the performers played Nena cover songs. I really doubt that they covered "99 Luftballons"; it's way too famous of a song and probably only Nena herself performed it at the end. I did ask someone who attended which song SCANDAL performed, but I never got a reply back. We'll just have to wait and see which song they did.

But 90% of her songs are in German and SCANDAL dont know German !

Plenty of people don't know Japanese but can memorize SCANDAL's Japanese lyrics. SCANDAL doesn't know English but sang "Your song" in English. If you practice enough, it's possible memorize lyrics in other languages.

Thats true, they must have had a while to learn it then.

Nena also released some of her songs in English and for a collaboration with SCANDAL it's also possible that their song is half english half german, like she did with Kim Wilde:




Good news: ZDF releases most of their broadcasts and also a live stream at the ZDF Mediathek for a limited time. Should be online after the TV broadcast. But I'm not sure if it's accessible from abroad. You might have to try it:

If not, it probably works with a proxy.

@Hasenfu

Thanks for the info !
But even English is a foreign language to SCANDAL remember

She really seems so happy~ and gotta thank rinari for a great dobondobondo pic .clap. 
I wonder if their performance will be uploaded :>

I wasn't talking about German SCANDAL fans but the "normal" German guys (I'm also German). After last Sunday (we had election) I'm really worry about how many vote a party that's openly right-wing. And I know many that just talks about "those f*cking asian guys" that believe Sushi is what Japanese people eat all day.
Well, let's wait. If you have problems with that stream outside of Germany (but I don't think so, went to Cyprus last year and had no problems there) I can make a video for you.

@Keashaa

I do know what you are saying, it is much the same in the UK, most English people know a big fat zero about Japan.
And it is worse for me as I am also a huge Japanese idol fan and you know how people feel about them.
