Thanks guys, I will report about it for you all

This is a good way for them to know how many foreign fans they have.
There is +100.000 brazilians living in Japan, this doesn't include other latin americans. There is a lot more!
If they can grab 10% of them, Scandal will have an Osaka jo Hall full everytime.

Hey guys, anyone in Tokyo this Saturday Jan 19th 2017 confirmed for 3pm or know of any foreign fans please message me ASAP, its related to this show if you want to be part of it.

Wanted media for show, any Ekiden, European7 tour etc
If you are ok to release please let me know. In particular group photos.

Please give me URL etc so I can pass to production manager.

He is aware of the 10th anniversary video we made.

[I will submit the photos in the morning of 22nd to the TV producer, various SH members have already given me photos, thanks]

Just to let you know I already did the Japanese interview (basically the questionnaire questions at Feedback today) later on I did grab another Japanese fan I knew and he was interviewed as well. We hanged around for a bit to catch other fans, a Hong Kong fan did eventually turn up. As for tomorrow's participates, there are only slots of 30 people in total, and it was compulsory to be interviewed to be able to attend the studio recording event on the 25th.

The funny thing was it not not pre-arranged at all, the producer himself turned up with his camera and ask for shooting permission on site today.

I am just wondering where exactly is the Sakas meeting room?

Its just a set of rooms that runs along Akasaka Blitz/next to ACT Theater as well.

Some times you see the rooms opened out and they use as exhibition rooms during any events that they might hold outside on the open space.

Thank you! I walked around the area and saw a Good Times Music sign which led me to the interview. It was a good experience given that I have never stood in front of a recording camera before.

For tomorrow's recording we managed to get 3 foreign fans to attend the studio event now!

Finished recording, this episode will be broadcast in Feb, after which I can talk about it.

Program will air 15th of Feb 2017 at 00:10.

Good Time Music is a program that only just started April 2016, a show about fans of various artists and bands, for the episode featuring Scandal, the duration was slightly under half of the program.

As mentioned on Scandal's home page and the shows, there was a online questionnaire.
In particular they were interested in looking for foreign fans to attend the show, since Scandal recently did their European tour. In the end we managed to get two SH foreign fans (including me to attend), eventually another fan managed to see one of my posts and participated.

After questionnaires were submitted, 20 fans were invited to the studio to do an interview and then later would be able to participate in the studio recording. The other foreign fan actually just turned up and did his interview a little later after the Japanese group.

I did my interview a little differently and was actually invited to do it at Feedback!
We did try to see if we could spontaneous catch any foreign fans that might walk in the shop, but unfortunately this didn't happen.

If you did managed to see the show you would have seen that the fans had their interviews outside near the TV studio.

So on to the actual studio recording, we gather for the recording, we were shown previous episodes of the show to know what to expect whilst waiting, I meet up with the other SH member and the foreign fan, I was helping out with the translation to help explain what was going on.

So off to the studio we went, originally we had allocated seating, but later on the 3 foreigners (including me) we were moved along to the right, so I can help assist with any language issues that may happen during the recording. (There was a bit where Scandal asked why slap bass performance was requested, which I help translate)

We were brief on how to clap etc, keep talking and asking question if we wanted, to act nature.

There was a few pre-determined items we wanted to use for the show.

"Slap bass" request to Timo. [This was probably the only planned bit, as Timo had to bring her guitar on stage]
Japanese fan with her guitar, which Timo helped teach her at a meet and greet many years ago (unfortunately was edited out)

Obviously due to time constraint it was heavily edited.

So the interviews that we participated in was used to guide the topics and discussions, it seems it was the first time that Scandal saw it to give it a natural response.

At the end of the recording they didn't just walk off stage, as the MC said said "Scandal wanted to came a little closer to us to say hi and bye", Rina asked me and the foreign fans if we had flown in from overseas. (Some reason Rina keeps thinking I'm from overseas  haha), the other members waved and said goodbye.

They waved good bye and that was pretty much the end of the recording, they wanted a bit more audience clapping clip and some additional MC-ing for editing, took the MC guy a few tries to get his finger snapping

The performance of Shukan Sentimental was done separately and we were informed before hand we were not going to see any performance.

I've kept in contact with some of the fans, so my circle is getting bigger
I actually bumped in to the girl with the guitar at the Melodix! recording as well.
