I don't think they do yet, but after our efforts Perfume opened an official channel... .hmmm.

Even thought this competition is over, I'll keep posting every week on their twitter accounts to create a channel

Well, we're partway there! They opened a vevo youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/user/SCANDAL4VEVO

Seems it isn't available in all countries yet though. If you want it to be available in your country subscribe and leave a polite comment on the channel asking them to open it up

They don't have many vids, though. What can we do to ask for more?
.wow. congratulations to the initiative

yeah they just have shunkan and doll!!

Patience is a virtue!

As I say the last time, I don't think it's their official channel for some reasons:

-Why put "VEVO" on their username? I've already seen "SCANDAL4, on Ameba for example (scandalblog-4) but this "VEVO"...nop, never...
- Only Doll and Shunkan, ok, but why? Even though they want to put all their PV right now, normally it should be Doll and Sakura Goodbye
- Some falses informations. If you look at the description of the 2 clips, you will see respectively "2009 Epic Records Japan Inc." and "2011 Epic Records Japan Inc." for Doll and Shunkan whereas this 2 single were released respectively in 2008 ans 2010.
- If you look at the informations of the user, you'll see "United States" for the location and "42" his age.

These 4 things make me doubt...

By cons, I confess this channel make me doubt also about if it's really an official channel because the 2 PV are still present after 1 week and usually there are deleted after a few days.

But since I'm not sure after the "strange things" above, I don't think it's their official channel. Moreover I think their official website should speak this channel if it's really their official channel.

That seems to be the way they do it with VEVO channels. Lady Gaga did the same thing: LadyGagaVEVO. JustinBieberVEVO, etc.

I can't see the video since I'm in North America, but do they have the VEVO watermark/link in the lower right hand corner like other VEVO channels? VEVO is a product of Sony Records and other record companies. Assuming the channel is a real VEVO channel and not just made up to look like a VEVO channel, it should be official because you can't just create those yourself. They're created only by the record companies.

^ I see, I didn't know VEVO before that. But can we hope an announcement by their official site now?

VEVO pays for the band's rights to put the videos up and VEVO takes a portion the advertising money (from youtube ads), some bands do use VEVO as their main channel but there are several others that only use VEVO as their Musical video library, so all their official music videos are there but other band-related content they want to put up comes from their "official" channel, take this example:

Foo fighters vevo: https://www.youtube.com/user/foofightersVEVO?feature=watch

Mostly Music videos.

Foo fighters official channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/foofighters?ob=0&feature=results_main

Anything band related they want to put up.

Edit: Note that VEVO is owned by Sony Music Entertainment and it shouldnt be weird they want to promote a band they already have a contract with (SCANDAL) with it.

This morning I received confirmation that this is indeed an official channel. Checking it again the videos are now available to play in the US! .clap.

Just want to say thank you again to everyone who participated before in our request for an official channel! It's here! .dance.
