You should be proud SCANDAL manage to hit a good 2nd place on first day sales... SCANDAL isn't a 'substantial' band that has an enormous fanbase compared to those other Artists... I'm happy they can still cling onto a 6th for the past few days.

Congrats to SCANDAL for being the first female band to have 4 consecutive records (starting from their first album) in the Oricon Top 5!

Great news! おめでとうございますSCANDAL! But to be fair, this is not unexpected haha :D

SCANDAL omedetou~! .toj.

Eeeh I've received this album yesterday, it's the first album I buy in my life... Photobook edition, I'm so happy T-T one of the most beautiful day of my life ! .dies. This album is too awesome !

Been listening to the Queens are Trumps album for almost a week now and I can confidently say it's now replaced Temptation Box as my favorite album from SCANDAL.

I fully expected "Queens Are Trumps" to be my new favorite song, but surprisingly "Bright" has replaced "SAKURA グッバイ"　as my favorite song. Guess I'm just a sucker for nostalgic sounding songs.

Yey! so glad to hear they managed to be at the 4th ranking... I was so worried about the falling ranking. But still...

OMEDETOU SCA-chan!!! ^_^

By the way... saw Rina chan retweet this...



I think it says that SCANDAL is the first female band to make it to the Oricon Top 5 for four consecutive times. .dance.

Yep, that's basically it
She also says that there's still more to come after this. I'm very glad to hear that ^_^

So congrats to SCANDAL!!!
They deserve it and much more :D

Received the CD+DVD yesterday. The title track is solid and I like 声 simply because it's Mami. Now the DVD. I truly wished I had gotten the photo-book version instead after viewing this. I got this specifically because of the vids for 恋の始まりはダイエット and ちぇりーじゃむ. Straight up, I thought they were garbage. Regardless, I'm enjoying the album and am glad it's doing well...

out of the songs, bright is the best one cos it shows my true feeling, SAD

Hi, everybody!

Today I received my order from CDJapan!
I was waiting for it since last week, and now I have it, I'm really happy, I love this album very much (in fact, I bought the 3 versions)!

But the most interesting is that I won the first prize of the "scandal Lotery" and now I can tell you that it's not only one or four card but a whole playing cards deck!

I send you pictures.
I would like to have a Clear folder but we can't always get what we want, right!?

Yeah that's what I thought. Would have been wierd if they only made the four queens. Congratulations!

I didn't win anything (got a sticker), would have loved a set of those cards but I can't find it in me to complain since the album was freaking amazing in itself.

Although they should produce more copies of those playing cards and sell as Scandal merchandise.

Same, wish I got the photobook version instead.

Other than the making of the PHS and album covers I was pretty disappointed with the other videos. They should have just released those on youtube.

They were all really cute in the making of video though. Haru was hilarious when she had to get her sleeve fixed for her.

Also, super jealous of the guy that got to put sunscreen (or w/e it was) on Tomomi's legs

Congrats on the new record! :3
These girls deserve it a lot!

Queens are trumps is an amazing album

Omedeto to SCANDAL!

By far, Queens are Trumps are my most favourite album from Scandal~

@bouli_sensei, I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!

I haven't got my album yet

I am so going to get it next week :D

i'm agree with you.QAT is the most favourite Scandal album, this Album is very very hard rocking ww
anyway i'v got the DVD yesterday and i found a two pieces of paper, a piece of that said about special talks for scandal, what is that mean?

It was for a talk event that was held in Japan on September 30th.

ok..so this is the thread for the latest album...I was posting at the wrong thread all that time..hehe .sweat. ..dumb me. .whistle. .well..thanks to kaito ..can i just post the other posts that i posted to the wrong thread/topic here? ..hehe

Alright, I said earlier that I was going to challenge myself to not listen to the album until after I receive my album which I ordered from eBay, but I give up for several reasons:

1. My order was delayed for 1 week for no reason...(ordered on Sept 23, shipped on Oct 3 -.-)
2. I asked my friend about Hong Kong epacket delivery and he said I'll get it in around 3 weeks (Oct 24th?). Two weeks if I'm lucky...
3. It's been 10 days since the release...I'm dying..
4. The downloaded copy (don't blame me, technically I own it since the physical album is on it's way here!) has the songs in POOR quality (16kHz). So I have something to look forward to when I get my album - the HIGHEST (22kHz) quality SCANDAL songs!!!
5. It's a long weekend, I need something to occupy myself~

Woop, off to listen to SCANDAL heaven (pun intended)

I still haven't listened to it and am waiting for the album to come. Then again, maybe I am not quite as strong as a fan as you guys

If you want to justify your impatience by getting a "bad" copy, you can rest in the fact that you will still have something to look forward to in your physical copy, as the songs will be twice as good quality as the "bad" copy.

On my first listen, my first impressions (only going to review the new songs):

1. Queens are Trumps - Kinda feel like this song is TOO heavy in rock if you know what I mean lol..(still uncomfortable with that "Oh shit" :/) Still a solid "pump up" song. 7.5/10

4. Rock'n Roll - Crazy awesome epic rock 10/10.

5. Bitter Chocolate - Great song by Rina. I would say that I liked Haruna's voice in this song alot more than Tomomi's though. If this song was 80% Haruna instead of 80% Tomomi it would have been 10/10 instead of 9.5/10.

*Btw, I love you too Tomomi (she sounded so sincere and sweet saying it)

6. Kill The Virgin - Felt like I entered some kind of SCANDAL matrix alternative universe. Not my taste though... 7/10

Edit: I think I might like this song after several more hours of listening to it..(I can't stand the whispering part though)

7. Koe - Totally took me by surprise. Didn't expect anything from the song. Mami sounds superb 9.5/10

8. Rising Star - This sounds like a celebratory song they could use when they finally hit it really big (Tokyo Dome?!) and cry after they've performed it 9/10

9. Bright - I put the new 8 songs on shuffle. This song was last. Why do the good things always come last? This song is so emotional, old school rock, Haruna's hypnotic voice. Just perfection. I knew from listening to the preview that this was going to be good, but it exceeded my expectations tenfold. I'm talking mainly about the chorus right after where the preview ends. I was expecting wow but I got WOWOWOWOW. The highlight of the album. One of their best songs ever, if not (SCANDAL Baby might have to move over) 11/10

12. Right Here - Sounds like an anime ending song. Okay song, doesn't leave any memorable impressions though. 6/10

Overall rating: Five swishes, one bankshot, two airballs: 9.5/10

I regret nothing about my first album purchase : ))
