I really like the bridge, I just love when Haru uses her deeper voice.

It's like "Electric Girl" and "She's a Wave" had a baby.

Full song now on Youtube

I just received my CD+Blu-ray today.  
I prefer CDs over digital download whenever I can.
The sound of the new single is noticeably better than the YouTube version (YT cuts out base + more)
 
Unfortunately the cd only has 2 tracks - no instrumental versions of either song.

Do you have info on the Blu-rays content please (what it has, duration etc)? Does it have the MV of Line of sight by any chance?

Just loaded it up.

Video is 26 mins and 26 seconds 

Seems to be a documentary 

CD Japan says it's:

LINE OF SIGHTSEEING - MOKUTEKICHI NI SHOUJUN AWASETE DRIVE SEYO! -

Doesn't seem to have the MV

The "Line of sight" MV was only recently filmed and completed; it was much too late to have it be included on the Blu-ray/DVD editions, unfortunately.

RINA mentioned a while back that it's about the band taking a drive. The title of the video is a play on one of the lines in the "Line of sight" chorus ("Shojun wo awasete"): "Driving with our sights set on the destination."

Also, as I'm currently still in Japan, my translation for "Vision" will be posted at a later date~

Screenshot of release day Oricon chart. Not bad considering it's been out in digital form for a while.

I also noticed it made the daily digital chart on Oricon, so YAY!

I think it was their first time to do it. Based on my observation, many Japanese major label artists such as Fujii Kaze, Hikaru Utada, and Philosophy no Dance do that practice since 2019. 

BTW, I prefer the funk rock vibe of Vision over their lead single.

I'm digging "Vision", another excellent song. I think it's Rina on the backing vocals? Tomomi's bass is so good and groovy in this single.

Here is a screenshot of the Oricon weekly singles chart. Scandal was 41 copies away from the #20 position. (Oricon estimation)

Just came back from Japan and bought all editions (except blu ray edition)  at Tower Records Shibuya. I'm a bit disappointed with the CD+goods edition, think it costed around 2900 yen (3300 - taxes). The small "passport" for the game was attached to the lyrics page with some tape it was just a white card with some Bandai and game words printed. Does this card gives you something at the game? Also the cashier told me something about a bonus sticker but didn't really know how to exchange it so I couldn't get it

Also, I attended the "Line of sain-kai" signing event in Osaka! The band was super nice as always. Some things we talked about were that they had noticed I was at the Tokyo performance of the unlimited UTOPIA tour, and that they were really impressed with the outfit I wore to the signing (a recreation of HARU's "Line of sight" painted hoodie that I painted myself) + said that my outfits are always great every time. I'm also really happy HARU and I got to talk a bit about our Stray Kids oshis (hers is Lee Know, btw)
