Let's say you want to introduce SCANDAL to your friends, or someone you know wanna hear their song... what song do you think would be good to introduce SCANDAL to them?


EDIT:
Ah, I forgot to add... the question also applied to live performances

Thanks before folks

In my opinion, Shunkan Sentimental would be the best in that situation. Not only is it one of SCANDAL's most well known songs, it sounds great as well. Perhaps you can even make them watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood if they haven't yet because of it too.

songs from anime first like shunkan/harukaze/shoujo s then doll

Shunkan Sentimental/Harukaze/Welcome Home

I think it depends on the age and the preference of the person you want to introduce to so here are my general suggestions

Sayonara My Friend / Shunkan Sentimental / Switch / Taiyou to Kimi Ga Egaku Story would be good songs to introduce

i think Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku Story cause the pv is fun and they all look cute there :D and Shunkan Sentimental cause of the awesomeness of the song and its from an anime so maybe its more appealing

Hmmm.. Probably either Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku Story or Welcome Home..

fam, ill do love survive and harukaze it worked on 2 of my mates

My friend introduced me to Shunkan Sentimental, I was hooked easily.

Scandal Baby, Beauteen, Shunkan Sentimental are great choices imo

Shunkan sentimental, Harukaze, Pride, Love survive, and Welcome home.

I'd say Shunkan Sentimental or Taiyou to Kimi.
The fact that the member names are somewhat introduced in the latter video might help some newbies out. Both are good PVs to start with, nonetheless.

A live clip might work for people who appreciate bands who can actually play. In my own case, it was a live clip of SCANDAL Baby that started it then it was sealed by watching the FIRST LIVE DVD.

I've done this with many of my friends and although not all of them became fans, they can at least appreciate and know that SCANDAL are a proper band who can play.

Oh and the Taikimi PV also gets good reactions because of THAT Mamitasu fan service moment..

I think it would be Shunkan Sentimental

because it was used in the anime FMA
i guess it's the best song to introduce SCANDAL to my friends and classmates
coz' our section are otakus and animelovers

LOVE SURVIVE,DOLL, Shunkan Sentimental...my friend liked LOVE SURVIVE the first time he heard it :D

It will depend on the person you want to introduce SCANDAL.
Harukaze and Shunkan Sentimental Studio Live made my friend appreciate them when she doesn't like them at first. And she never stop singing those songs after that...haha
For my sister and one of my classmates, they've heard me playing their cover of Secret Base and they liked it. I know it's not their original song but my sister finally notice them after that..She never liked the name, so she never did try listening to their song hehe

Probably Shunkan Sentimental, Doll or Harukaze.

Hmm. Maybe Harukaze, Shoujo S or Shunkan Sentimental.

But for people who does not really like rock music (like me, before!!! ) I will recommend Namida no Regret or something like Kimi to Yoru to Namida or Sayonara My Friend. Then probably, they will eventually fall to rock music. (Again, just like me. Hahaha.)

depends on the mood mate... well I've tried to introduce namida no regret, to my mate who having a "galau" (hubbub) moment... and I use shunkan to my mates who loves anime and LOVE SURVIVE for my mates that loves energetic moments... oh and also I use CUTE! to my mates who loves kawaii shoujo's~

I'd probably choose S.L. Magic

the songs fit for them

on the other hand the second choice is Welcome Home

Scandal Baby. Specifically this live:



Just pure rock fun, the girls at their absolute best, and a crazy crowd. Not to mention Haruna looking her sexiest.

This clip (well, not exactly this one but an earlier un-subbed one) was the clip that first got me into SCANDAL. It was the thing that made me go "woaah.. " when I first saw it. Good times, good times.

Again, live clips are a very good way to introduce the band. Better than PVs and better than audio in my opinion. Any shmuck can sound and look good in a recording/on a PV but it takes something special to be really good live.

Very nice Nanka Buttobase rendition. The instrumental might be playback, but the vocals are top notch.

It might not be in front of an audience, but it's a live nonetheless (you can tell because it sounds different than the recording).

Their Budokan performance was decent but it wasn't epic (like the Scandal Baby live I showed you), mainly because the crowd didn't go bat crazy. Their best songs on that concert IMO was Shoujo S, Haruka, Switch and Taiyou Story. They did Scandal Baby at the end but Haruna sounded gassed...

I want SCANDAL Baby too~ .smile.
