Good for Rina, she doesn't dance.
Well, I liked the music, the concept, but ... I think they danced too much in the PV. .deli.
I felt like watching a video of K-pop.
Now, I want to see a live performance of this song. .waaa.

is the dancing too much to make the PV below par or it's just the internet bandwagon thing?

Unlike their previous release Nanka Buttobase has really the most dance element on it considering it has its roots in the 70s... anyone can suggest another concept or theme for the PV?

Yeh, I agree that there's slightly too much dancing in the PV since there's not many shots showing the girls playing the instruments... well except Rina, she always look cute playing the drums I don't think the PV is too repetitive... more like a bit overdone. If they remove the people running around at the end and have the girls playing the instruments more and less dancing then the PV would be... .nosebleed.

yeh its kinda fast and like tayoukimi they have some moments and poses this pv is all dancing and playing instrument

cool pv :D

I don't think it's an internet bandwagon thing lol. I think jamhero explains my point really well that this PV is full on dancing and not enough single shots of SCANDAL posing or doing their own thing. Maybe it's a personal preference thing too IMO TaiyoKimi and Shunkan are the best PVs and my fav PVs too I might add that balances dancing, playing and posing.

Too much dancing for my liking. I think its unnecessary since they wouldn't be dancing that much when playing live anyway.
But I guess its still good to watch.

Too much hectic and over choreographed dancing for me.I like to see the girls live on stage.The song is ok. .smile.

I've disliked the dancing since it first appeared in Shoujo S. I know they like dancing but to me it just seems like the record company trying to sell them based on their looks and gimmick. They are trying to make them like a regular girl band. They don't need that because they can sing and play instruments. Thats twice the talent of most of the music industry right there.

But now I've made peace with it it's kinda fun to watch in videos. This ones very over the top for dancing.

can't agree more with yo mrmonkey

Sony is marketing them to be the cross of the girl band - girl group type. Sony is hoping to get both markets.... Maybe they felt the market for the girl band (of course there are exemptions) is not that big and with Scandal with so much potential to do well in both,can't blame them for really trying. Because after all this is a business venture. Profits will always be the measure of success.

for the purpose of differentiating;
note: Girl Band = with instruments ex. Scandal, Stereopony, Chatmonchi
Girl Groups = regular sing and dance ex. Wonder Girls, 2NE1, AKB48

Quick question, is the Special DVD clip going to be like a making of sort of thing?
Kinda like this:

Looks like CDJapan are shipping out the Nanka orders pretty early .clap. I'll probably get my copy this Friday or next week on Monday.

wow nice.
semi-unfortunately i ordered my SCANDAL Nanka Buttobase copies in the same order with my pre-order of the Mini Cover Album so my order won't be shipped until that comes out in november hahah ill be playing the waiting game for a while

My Nanka Buttobase limited eds are on their way, ETA, tomorrow 12noon at my doorstep!

.clap.

My Nanka Buttobase Pre-order CD is coming already.. Can't wait! :D

Wow!

Received email that CDJapan just shipped my order early so I should get it by tomorrow .clap.

Guess the company already received lots of merchandise before hand and ships early so the items are received by release date!

Items cost more at CDJapan due to shipping charges but it's worth it!
IMHO and experience, CDJapan offers better service than the other online stores though expect to pay alot due to the current high Yen valuation esp. on the shipping costs!

I just received an e-mail that my order will be here in 4 days .clap.
I can´t wait for it

Where did you order from and how much was the shipping?

The CD/DVDs are still available at CDJapan, YesAsia and PlayAsia, HMV Japan and Amazon.co.jp.

Shipping cost would depend on 1) the shipping method you choose (if available), 2) where you live and 3) the number of items you order.

Generally, the fastest method is the most expensive but ship time is within 1 week. The cheapest method is either free or low cost but it takes 3-6 weeks, depending on the 3 factors listed above.

Another cost is the currency you use!

CDJapan has relatively affordable items but the shipping charge is high due to the current high yen valuation.

YesAsia has free shipping to N. America if you purchase $40USD or more but takes ~3-6 weeks for delivery whereas you'll have to pay for the least ship time. Products generally cost more here, though free shipping helps but don't expect to receive the order any time soon.

PlayAsia's shipping cost varies but doesn't "currently" offer free shipping but product costs are more affordable than YesAsia.

HMV Japan is relatively expensive due to the current high Yen valuation but shipping is fast via Fedex International which ships less than a week!

Amazon.co.jp is also relatively expensive but also ships via Fedex International which takes less than a week! Problem is that most everything on the website is in Japanese and the English translation does Not work well. Smaller sellers generally do NOT ship internationally!

First press editions then limited editions generally sell out sooner, depending on the artist and product. For example.. Scandal's photobook editions usually sell out quickly! First come, first serve!

Do you think a buble envelope will be enought to protect 2 LE and a RE?

Shipping via bubble envelope is fine as that's usually how my past YesAsia orders are shipped.

I have not had any problems with that as my CD cases were not cracked (** knock on wood **). Maybe others not so lucky. YesAsia wraps it in bubble wrap then puts it into a bubble envelope so it's protected twice.

If you want to play it safe, then pay a little more for a bubble box, if available. PlayAsia has it available as an option.

But don't expect fast ship time. You'll have to pay more for that service.

Some of the other online stores do sometimes ship the items via bubble wrap and then inside a cardboard box but it really depends on them.

about yesasia's shipping, try asking eugene about his experience... it was pretty bad news, a cracked CD and ripped poster if i recall correctly .scared.

but lets hope thats the one in a million shipment...

Yeah!
I hope so, I dont want my posters getting ripped.
Mine also came in like a double wrapped bubble thing no cracked cases

I think Ill try my luck with padded envelope, thanks!
