That's a total of 16,300 yen or 116.64 pounds sterling according to Forex. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

SCANDAL will be releasing their first album from their private label next February. They will also be holding a world tour starting in March

SCANDAL will be releasing 『Kiss from the darkness』, their first album release from their private label 「her」, on February 12th (Wed).

This will be SCANDAL's overall 9th album, and their first album release in two years since their previous album 『HONEY』. A total of 11 songs will be on it, including the singles released via 「her」: "Masterpiece," "Mabataki," "Fuzzy," "Saishuuheiki, Kimi."

There will be a total of four editions: Regular, DVD (Limited Edition A), Magazine (Limited Edition B), and DVD+T-Shirt (Deluxe Limited Edition). The DVD Edition contains a DVD with a documentary film that follows the members for one year following the establishment of their private label 「her」. The Magazine Edition includes Vol.2 of 『”her” Magazine』, the magazine that was also included in their February single 『Masterpiece / Mabataki』. The DVD+T-Shirt Edition includes a deluxe box that comes with a DVD containing a music video collection, and also includes a t-shirt with the album's cover printed on it. Additionally, they announced that there will be purchaser bonuses, such as an original clear file given to those who preorder the album, and those who purchase from select chain stores. Other details will be announced at a later date.

Vocalist HARUNA said, "I think that you can feel new challenges and experimental parts from songs one has already released, but there's still much more you haven't seen yet. We have confidence in this album; it's insane. Our creative energy is exploding." Drummer RINA, who wrote the lyrics for many of the songs, talked about the about the inner theme of the album: "I think that we were able to take all of our ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses and turn them all into seeds of music, and then turn those into songs. 'Whatever happens, it'll be okay. Somehow, it will be'—that's what's included in the title 『Kiss from the darkness』."

The album covers were also released at the same time. They were made by the collage artist Q-TA, who also handled the covers for their single 『Masterpiece / Mabataki』, and who active both abroad and overseas. Q-TA said this about the artwork: "I gave attention to their innocent aspects hidden among their intensity, and I expressed the current SCANDAL as who they are on the inside, not on the outside."

Additionally, they will be holding a world tour starting next March called 「SCANDAL WORLD TOUR 2020 “Kiss from the darkness”」 in support of this new album. They will be holding a domestic hall tour consisting of 19 performances that starts from 3/7 (Sat) at Atsugi City Cultural Hall in Kanagawa and concludes on 5/5 (Tue) and 5/6 (Wed) with two performances at ORIX Theatre in Osaka. They will also be conducting performances overseas. Information on the overseas performances will be announced at a later date.
