I am just not quite sure if I I like where this is going.

I agree about seductives clothes, but it's such the PVs, they always wear skirts in a commercial goal.
But I think it's not their fault, in my opinion they are forced to wear skirts even they are not students now, and also to wear seductives clothes like that for attracting...

Wow, Harukaze single album covers look so amazing ! .love.
Damn, seems like the girls have come a long way from their indie days and school uniforms !
they look really different in their kimono's, like a completely different style to what I've seen but still looks great! ^_^
Can't wait for the full Harukaze PV to release too! .clap.

We just have to face the fact that they are young women now, not schoolgirls
any more.
But they are J-Pop and not Japanese idols so I don't think we have to worry
about them losing all their clothes.
But their music is becoming more sophisticated like them !
It is sad to think the 'Space Ranger' days have gone forever.

they look so good on those covers .wow. i'm really excited with Harukaze's PV.. i wonder how it will be like. i've watched the preview already tho i'm still wondering.

uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! First the PV preview. Just the preview looks awesome already! From what I remember, when they bring out the PV preview, it'll be just a matter of days before the full PV. So within the week maybe? Can't wait!

Then the coveeeeeeeeeeeeers! .love.

I really like the regular cover, them circling over the couch, different from their usual cover where they are just having standing poses all over the place. The limited editions are nice too! It's the first cover zooming up to just their lovely faces~

It's good to see they're maturing every single. It gives the feeling of them evolving both in appearance and in their music, as well as showing that they won't always be the girls in school uniform.

I'm really happy to be a witness of their evolution from their early days up to this point.

Really does remind me of visual kei, and they do appeal to me. Great covers!!

Let us not forget the girls always surprise us fans, so I personally don't think they will fixate on this current appearance (although they look great to me \(^w^)/). They always change and evolve, so let us just be pampered ans surprised when the time comes.

On a side note, I miss 'Space Ranger' days a lot~~

Wow, the covers are really great... the preview as well. thanks for the share. And as Tony said, I don't thinks we have to worry about them loosing their clothes if they don't want too.

My sentiments EXACTLY. We cannot reasonably expect them to remain they way they used to be forever. I don't think they are forced into doing it this, what woman does not want to look and feel sexy and beautiful. None of the four have ever struck me as the cute moe type, in fact it's the opposite. I'd like to think that they have a big say in their direction and this is what they intend.

They are all adults now and with that comes freedom as well as responsibility.

I'll miss the ole days too but we have to move on with the times. It's brave of them to do this and I'm glad for it.

And their music too, I've heard all three radio rips. They rule! This band is SUPER TIGHT now and not afraid to show off some chops. I hope for another opportunity to watch them live again, the 1st time wasn't enough for me :D

This year is going to be a classic, record breaking year for them and I hope so much for their success. They truly deserve it. And it's about time for an Oricon No.1 isn't it?

OMG! i love the covers. these are awesome! cant wait for it now! andthe PV....................wow! im even mroe excited for it to come out! aaaaa! SCANDAL overload! next month and part of march is gonna be truly awesome.

oh and btw SCANDAL will be on bokura no ongaku 2 days after the release of Harukaze so it's gonna air 2-24-2012

The PV looks amazing! AMAZING!! I'm so excited for it.
The album covers are very nice!

yea fam, the PV and covers looks heavy sick u no, there well cute, defo cont wait 4 the full PV and my set of single 2 come

tnxs 4 the update fam,

I need to order the regular edition,it looks soo mature and sexy
Is it true,that the "first press of Regular edition will include a special photo booklet"?

@souichiro-san: Unfortunately, no, the first press will not include the photo booklet, for some reason. CD Japan confirmed it, and it also says on Sony's site that only the CD is included.

Thats bad

The building it was filmed at is in Yamanashi Fuefukigawa Fruits Park. :)

2 years on and the girls are blooming before my eyes.

Can't say I like it, but hey, the schoolgirl thing was bound to die out eventually, plus they look stunning <3

Now, for the awkward looks my parents are sure to give me...

Can't tell you too much what I think about because I'm waiting for the release date to watch the PV and just read the lyrics.

And I don't think we have to worry about the clothes... I always say that there are a difference between be sexy and be sexually appealing. If they keep this difference we don't need to worry :3

In my opinion their music is becoming more and more awesome. We can look back and see that they all increased something in their skills.

Sure, I'll save some money to buy it!

I'm sorry if I got out of the topic. I didn't come here a while and wanted to write some feelings.

I have just heard both of the covers and i have also watched the preview pv. First of all, i hope that no one will kill me after reading this comment but i still prefere the original versions of the song. I mean, they did an AWESOME JOB but it just din't hit the spot for me.

As for the album covers, i think it's more mature and sexy than usual.( I don't mind it but it's just like what tony,koi and macdyne73 said we don't have to worry about thier clothing.)

On the other side, i really enjoyed the preview for the pv. I Can't wait for the release ^^.

Can't wait .Hopefully i can buy this single (short on cash right now)

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL LIFE LOL. CAN'T WAIT!!! .toj.

wow..such a nice cover..

can't wait until release..and after watch the PV preview. i think it feel like you are on BLEACH world..

Just watched the PV of Harukaze and I can't wait for the PV to come out ^_^ And liking their new uniforms too... looks really stylish and this may be my favourite 'uniform' over the uniforms used for Pride

Don't worry I won't kill you. Myself and I'm sure a few others agree on your views of the song covers and the album covers. The covers may not be spot on like that of the material on their mini-cover album but hey, the girls tried their best and covering songs (plus giving it that SCANDAL-edge) like that isn't easy to begin with. At least I wouldn't think it is.

As for the album cover art(and outfits), I see it as a confidence-sexy rather than the lookatusandourbeautifullooksarentyoujealousnowbuyourstufftrololol-kind of look.
They're called SCANDAL to be scandalous and still be classy. Or at least I hope so.

The Covers are fantastic!
Can't wait for the release! I think i will order the two limited editions .
