17th Anniversary Project for SCANDAL PGSTWBM

We are doing a Fan Letter Project as well as a video project for SCANDAL's 17th anniversary!

As always, SCANDAL fans worldwide can participate!

The Fan Letter Project will be like our previous FLP: A hardcover, professionally printed photo book that will be delivered to the band ahead of their anniversary in August.

Like last time, the project will be paid for with the donations that have been generously given by SH members and the like (thanks so much!).
Also, for the cover of the project, we will be making a collage of photos from fans taken at SCANDAL concerts, post-concert hangouts, album/merch collections, etc.!
The video project will be a compiliation video featuring short clips of fans congratulating SCANDAL.
Additionally, we will be sending flowers to the venue where SCANDAL will be performing on their anniversary, like we did for a few past events such as their 10th anniversary and their 15th anniversary! These will also be paid for with donations that we've received.

If you would like to contribute towards the project + flowers, please feel free to do so here:

Ok, I sent in my message and a video. I took the video at the Seattle viewpoint the national news broadcasters use when they're in town. Of course being the tourist season and a nice weekend day, it was packed, and I had to record my message in front of a bunch of people. It was really embarrassing. But it was for Scandal, so I did it.

You should too. At least say hello in a note or something. After 10 years at a job, I got a cheap clock. After 17 years, Scandal deserves something more heartfelt than that.

Update:

Due to how few submissions we've received for the Fan Letter Project so far, it's likely that we will have to cancel it.

We'll consider still going ahead with it if we get enough submissions, but we have no idea how many more people were planning to submit something for it. If you have been working on something to send in, please leave a reply and let us know!

We will still go ahead with the video project and also extend the deadline to August 4th, though this is also in danger of being canceled if we don't get enough submissions.

Even if the projects do get canceled, we are 100% still going to send flowers to the band on the day of their anniversary (using the donations we've generously received so far) - Don't worry about that!

I have (hopefully, as I’m not great with technology 🤪) just submitted a fan letter congratulating the band on 17 great years, and a photo for the collage of me with the band at the London concert. I hope they have someone to translate my letter from English. I would urge as many people as possible to submit a fan letter.

Hi, I'm from Malaysia, and I would like to send some donations, but it seems like I can't do so from my country. Is there any other way for me to donate to this project? And I am currently working on the fan letter as well, so hopefully, we will have enough submissions for that.

Thank you! You can try sending it via Ko-fi, though that also uses PayPal. If you still can't send anything, no worries at all!

Oh, I see! I managed to send donations via Ko-fi! I really appreciate all the work you guys have done. I've been here since 2013 and was involved in the last fan letter project in 2016, the Hawaii one. Thank you for all your hard work 17th Anniversary Project for SCANDAL 1f496

Hello!

Thank you very much to create this project.

I discovered the forum site a few days ago and I found this project.

This project made me want to register for this forum and take part in this very important project.

So I made a fan letter that I sent it on Sunday, July, 17.

This project is very close to my heart, to celebrate the band's 17th anniversary. They deserve it because they create great songs every time.

A big thank you to the people who set up this project and to people who took part and will be taking part.

Support SCANDAL!

SCANDAL POWER !!!
MAMI cool

Have a nice day!

Late as always (but before the deadline), in the end I was able to send a couple of letters, although the size thing bothers me a lot, I hope there is no problem with any.

When you ask for the mail, it's in case some re-submit is needed. In the case that it happens, would it be sent back using the same form? I don't have much idea about those things, I just have to cross my fingers that it turns out perfect. HARU aishiteru

I made a page with a short message for the 17th anniversary project. I am late... but before the deadline as well. You may see a duplicate submission from me. My original submission last night did not meet the 8.5x11, 300dpi requirement.

I have resubmitted a new version that meets those requirements. 17th Anniversary Project for SCANDAL 1f600

Let me know if you need anything else from me or if there were issues opening the document. I uploaded .jpg and .pdf versions to make it easier for you.

Thanks to everyone who has sent something in for the anniversary project!

Since there's been a good increase in letter/fan art submissions, we will 100% be going ahead with the book! Thanks again! (The video project will be canceled instead due to lack of submissions)

Today is the deadline for letter/fan art/photo submissions (11:59 pm PDT), so please make sure to get them in on time!

The "resubmit" line was mainly added in regards to videos since there usually aren't any problems with letters/fan art, but if ever we do need to contact someone to resubmit something, we would send a brand new email to the person's listed email address.

I am happy to hear that the book is moving ahead! I've been a fan since 2009 but just joined this forum (so I guess I am not a very good fan LOL). Let me know if there are any issues with my submission. Thanks!

No video. That's disappointing.

Too bad for cancelled the video, I really wanted to do something but I was recovering energies from the trip to Brazil

Probably from this side (South America) there were some of us who wanted to send a video, since the mood to support Scandal was revived after the concert in Brazil.
I know you also do your best, but maybe the deadline was too short this time? (Don't take this the wrong way)

We gave everyone almost 3 weeks to film a video that'd take less than 5 seconds to do, and less than 10 people chose to do it. In contrast, the "Ganbatte, SCANDAL" project back in 2020 was only open for about 2 weeks and we received about 70 videos.

Even if we had a longer submission time for this project, I don't think it would have made much of a difference, unfortunately. Seems like there was a real lack of interest this time, despite this project celebrating a huge milestone for the band MAMI hmm

Update on the project:

The book has officially been ordered!

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted something for it and/or donated!

Here is a preview of the book:

17th Anniversary Project for SCANDAL N1e6LXC

17th Anniversary Project for SCANDAL N1e6LXC

Due to not receiving that many messages, my friends and I decided to primarily focus on doing a book that looks back on SCANDAL's releases/tours/events that also includes photos from our travels to see SCANDAL on said tours/events. Of course, though, the messages that we've received are in it too, in the middle of it! Can't wait to see what the entire thing looks like in person!

The book arrived yesterday and it looks amazing! Here's a quick flip through of it:

Again, thanks so much to everyone who submitted something for it and/or donated! We hope to get this to the band a few days before their anniversary!
