RINA said that on her twitter. So I checked the site. But I don't really get how's it works, because that site was in Japanese so I just translated that site to english. And the translation is kinda awful.

Could someone explain what it is and/or translate the page?

Thanks! .hail.

basically you have a chance to work with SCANDAL. you can either create Donbondobondo's cherry jam mv or Almond Crush's Koi no hajimari wa diet mv.

the rules are you have to create an original music video in order to apply, send it on a dvd or blu ray dvd and they will contact you if your picked.

overseas people can apply too so if your an overseas person and can make videos you can apply.

deadline to apply for all applicants: JULY 11, 2012, Taiyou SCANDALOUS release date, yes if your an overseas resident it must be due july 11 japan time as well

the 5 steps that were listed is:

1. your name
2. your age
3. email address
4. contact phone
5. which video do you want to make, donbondobondo or almond crush

you have to mail your video you plan on applying with to epic records

〒 107-8301
9-6-35 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo
EPIC Records Japan Inc.
Engagement "general public SCANDAL music video"

here's the original address cuz im not sure if the bottom is translated correctly

〒107-8301
東京都港区赤坂9-6-35
株式会社EPICレコードジャパン
「SCANDALミュージックビデオ一般公募」係

and that's generally it, oh the production of the mv's will be done on july 27. but in order to get to that point you have to pay a check for all the production costs of the mv and all the stuff you plan on using. so it's kinda out of your pocket kind deal. this has to be paid by july 20. but if your under 20 you will be required to sign a document. on top the check.

so if they contact you , the members and staff will go into detail.

you can be of any age to apply, although the site never listed anything below being the age of 15 so im not sure if thats the youngest you can be but for now you can be of any age.

these videos or music videos will be on the next album SCANDAL releases

aw fam, thats sick, wish i can join, but its gonna b 2 bait plus i dont no wat 2 record, the thing is i should able 2 get the best equipment and that, but my editing skills is well good, but i freaking cant join, pissed like

wihhhh

tats awesome .cool.

So thats it. I got a wrong thought then. Anyway, than Hawaii fan! .hail.

yea fam, im gonna c if i can do it, iv got a plan im gonna fake it with my family, i dont care wat mum says
anyway just got some question,

can it b any music video, as in any song,
wat happens if i win, they call me and i japan and do the music video

wat im confused about is that if they want me 2 create a MV 4 the Donbondobondo's cherry jam or Almond Crush's Koi no hajimari wa diet, how can we do it, since we aint heard the full song.

One thing that makes me don't feel like do it.
This one...

but in order to get to that point you have to pay a check for all the production costs of the mv and all the stuff you plan on using.

And then I feel like, "Well, I'm out!"

look so interest but i"m not good at create anything ^^.

Thank for your news n thank trans by Hawaii fansan

@amz7250

what i translated is that you have to create your own original video and you can use any song, it does not have to be jus SCANDAL music. If i translated that part wrong haha i think someone needs to translate it correctly so i wont give the wrong info.

the staff and members or jus staff will call you if you are picked and they will prob go into details on what you can do. im not sure how the winner is flying to japan if one the winners is from overseas if not both are overseas winners. that i am not sure. yes you will be the one doing the music video for which ever group you won.

answer your second question, that i am not completely sure. i think they will prob allow you to listen to the whole song when you get there? cuz te due date for the vid applications are due the day of Taiyou SCANDALOUS actual release date japan time. then a week later they prob will have contacted the winners and prob have them deposit the check for the mv production costs. im not entirely sure how they tend to do this process so i cant really tell you much.

so my above statement is what i think, its not what the other side is thinking.

sorry i couldnt be of much help

Somehow kinda feels lyk sony doesnt even wanna pay for an extra PV so they are asking fan to pay instead....

Was so looking forward to it until that ridiculous clause that we have to pay everything.

@hawaii, yea fam, tnxs 4 that info, im defo gonna do it now, iv got a video ready which i did 4 my college project but im gonna wait 4 my other mate now as she wants in, i can work in teams right

It would be totally awesome if someone from SH made at least one of the PVs. Good luck if anyone signed up to make a PV.

^yea fam, manz on it init, gona get it sorted, got a video ready and gonna send it off soon.

The "you pay for our video" thing does seem a little weird, unless they're expecting indie directors who would benefit from having it on their resume enough to make paying for all the production costs worth it or something..

^ agree. It just like somehow they only invite professional directors who had much exprerience and funds.

At first I thought it will be like edited fanvids. A video of some choosen applier which it will be edited by them. I got it wrong then.

yea this is wat i dont get, they say u have 2 pay the peas 4 wat, they should pay u 4 making the MV 4 SCANDAL not the other way round.

We SH had alot of members. If all of us will contribute at least 5$ each we surely can fund this pv. I guess I just had a very wild Idea haha!

^thats the thing how we gonna sort it out with the peas, like send it, i really wanna do it, my mates says i shouldnt and my other mate says i should, dont no wat 2 do now, i have the video ready and im waiting 4 my mate 2 do hers,

u no wat i just clocked, i have an exam on 16 of july, so i need time 2 revise. peak

yea fam, i sent mine in, pissed i had 2 pay £60, thas bears but i keep saying 2 my mate 4 SCANDAL ill do it, but i swear i better win, spent my peas 4 no reason u no,

anyway is anyone doing it

the winners will be contacted this friday the 13th

peak didnt win, any of u manz no who won.
