I've seen a lot of SCANDAL quotes in signatures, so I thought I could make this. I remember in the Temptation Box Documentary, Mami said she couldn't live without playing her guitar. I can't do an exact quote because I'm too lazy to go through all the seperate parts of the Documentary on Youtube   I've seen maybe 3 signatures with Tomo saying 'You smell good' or something funny. Rather it's a funny quote or a serious quote of any of the members... You can post it here .uhuh.  I'm also working on a SCANDAL notebook,and I'm putting their quotes in it .dance.

HARUNA : "The future was bright so I was smiling" [About why she didn't cry at Osaka Jo Hall]


HARUNA : "When I want to cry I cry"

Umm... can I ask about a quote's source in this thread? because there's this quote, supposedly from RINA of which I'm quite curious about the source (is it from the blog, or maybe a video?):

"Not having an ability doesn't make you powerless"

i think i read this somewhere
maybe it's from a blog

@skywing-SM: I translated that line. I'm pretty sure it is from a past blog, but I've translated so many that I have no idea which one. I feel like it might be from 2011, though.


And this is not a quote from any of them, and the second line on this has terrible grammar because it was translated badly. It should be more like, "It would be the same as losing my breath."

Thank you. this is what I was looking for. I was quite unsure because the search function didn't find anything, and there's too much blogs too look. But this makes me sure now, haha

The quotes I found from reading their blogs are pretty long aha. I just found them so inspirational. 

"Crying, laughing, and scolding while rubbing heavy eyelids every morning. Commuting the same way and sitting in your seat. Frantically writing down in your notebook things you don't know that might be useful one day and spending years following rules. The meaning and answers follow afterward." - Rina's blog (really helps me through school)

"The things you like,  
the things you want to do, 
whatever anyone says, don't let it stop you. 
I want you to do them. 
Things you're not interested in,
The things that don't suit you. 
Even in this unknowing world, 
If a chance comes by, I want you to jump in. 
I want you to love your family, friends, and lovers that are by your side. 

I think whatever follows is ok." - Rina's blog

"I don't know the meaning of music, 
Only the sound of it." - Rina

"No matter what kind of sadness happens today, 
You can make your own happiness tomorrow. 
It makes no difference in the number of tears, 
The amount of happiness is up to you." - Rina

"If you learn more, study more, but move less, nothing will change." - Rina 

"It's a part of my life and if I don't play my guitar, I can't go on." - Mami (the one you mentioned)

Tomomi : "When I'm nervous, I always eat! I can't stop eating!" :D From NHK Documentary 2012

I'm going to bump this thread :D

"I think music is a very peaceful being. Even though some countries are on bad terms with each other, just by talking with, "Oh, that song is good," they'd say, "Oh, what! You're a nice guy." Such a scene will happen, I think. If we can bring a very small opportunity like that, I think it will be very wonderful."
        - TOMOMI


""I'm already aware of what I'm like," I need to stop with those excuses." - RINA (Burn Lyrics)


"So I thought of what I could do to have you all pleased... It is to stand here, like this, and continue as a band. Though I don't know what it will bring for all of you, if you will think about us just a little, I can keep alive only sustained by it, I thought." - TOMOMI (Osaka-Jo Hall) 


"We're not playing lives for the sake of recording them or publicity." - RINA (most recent blog 2014 :p )

Sometimes I think we are singing and performing for the sake of money-making. which I don't like. -HARUNA

^ same here .sweat.

That's a weird quote to post in this topic out of the blue with absolutely no context. :/

For those wondering, it's from the NHK documentary.

I don't understand why it is weird, it shows how Haruna is not focused on the money-making music industry and that she doesn't like to play just for that but rather because she loves to play music and be part of a band; that's a good and meaningful quote!<3

+1up for Yuffie! well said. that sums it up.

sorry just revisited this now.(should have followed this thread)

Hi everyone,

A while ago, I came across an interesting quote from a SH member. He or she listed the lessons he or she learned from SCANDAL (in the signature eara). Each individual member was addressed, leading towards a conclusive lesson. The statement resonated with my own thoughts about the band and it seems a perfect quote for my master's thesis. Unfortunately, I did not write down the statement and who had written it.

If you remember this quote and its author, could you inform me? Thanks in advance.

"BOOM PANES!!"
---- Haruna Ono (Manila, Philippines 6/24/2018)

These are some random quotes from them over the years that have cracked me up, though they're probably funnier with full context
