Just slightly off topic, where is your signature from? Is it from a PV or video?
(sorry been out of the loop lately, it's so cute, I just haven't seen it before!!)
Edit: Should've known! It's from Scandal in the house, thanks to those who PM'd me :D


On topic!
This song is amazing!!

CDJapan send me an email a few hours ago to tell me they send the package  .clap.  What about you guys?

6 CD and the DVD from 2009, this is gonna be good   Finally I have all their CDs with that, now starting to get the DVD but they are a lot more expensive, hope to get them all by the end of the year.

Holy molly! My package arrived before the release date!    It's the first time that I experienced something like this!

Anyway, the audio in the CD is way better than the one in the PV! I also didn't expect that they will include a promotion movie (not the PV, but it contains cutscenes from the game) for each of the songs. And the quiz part was hilarious even if I don't understand Japanese. I just laughed when they laughed!  .lol.

#6 on Oricon daily! (btw why is it (and every other single/album) released 1 day earlier?! [Monday instead of Tuesday])

^ usually they count preorders/pre-sales numbers

Actually just #6? Hope tomorrow it will go higher since is a split single with someone famous as TMRevolution and also as a theme song single for a video game who seems to be having succes

I'll probably get mine by Friday, dat waiting .wew.

That's due to the fact that today is a holiday in Japan (http://study.gaijinpot.com/lesson/holidays/national-foundation-day/)  

I posted the "Runners high" romaji lyrics + translation over here:

Full version of Runners high PV on their official international YT channel (IN 1080P!!44!!):


They also released the single worldwide on iTunes!

Holy! At last, they have listened to the fans after so long. Finally, a full version in full HD! Woohoo!  .clap.

*wonders if their other pvs on the account will get the same 1080p treatment*

Yeah this is great news. The song rocks very, very hard and I absolutely love Mami's solo!

They haven't made the PV available for the US, apparently...  

#4 on Oricon daily!

I was hoping for a bit better, at least top 3. Now I don't know exactly how huge TMR is but I had that feeling he was big star so I was hoping that the single could make a great start and very good sales.

Let's see how it goes in the next days! With that being said, Top1, top 3, top 20, at the end of the day it doesn't change my love for SCANDAL    Just hoping the best for them and obviously as a band the more CD you sale the better it is for the company and all that ^_^

This should give you an idea of how huge TMR is. :D

@topic
Runners high is explosive. That's my description of the song. Sounds damn nice.
I love the end of the final chorus where there's a stop, then starts again to end.

Is this true? I've been kind of hesitant on paying $17 just for one SCANDAL song, so the single really is on US iTunes, that'd be really awesome

EDIT: JUST bought the single for $1.29 )))

Waah the single is also available on amazon.fr so I just bought it, it shows how Scandal is recognized from an international point of view!!^o^
And indeed, it is very great that they put the whole PV on vevo, I just hope they will do some updates of their previous PV ^^

Ah!! The video is so funny. Now I regret pre ordering the regular ed. I shouldn't have been stingy! Can't wait the pkg!

#5 on Oricon weekly with 30,178 copies!

3. Runners high (30,178) [2014]
4. Kagen no Tsuki (28,344) [2013]
5. SCANDAL nanka Buttobase (27,533) [2010]

Nice, top 3 of their best singles currently, hopefully it can stay in the oricon top longer than usual because of TMR. Would be nice to break the 40k mark in the end.

awww so it's dropped to 28 already

The anime chart must mean animes+games or they made a huge mistake lol. The lyrics chart sounds weird =S I doubt a chart based on lyrics only can do that, unless this is a fan rating the lyrics special chart and not the sales?

Anyways let's hope it continues and gets higher!  .uhuh.

Yesterday was "furage" (flying get, usually every Tuesday), the day when new releases go on sale. That's why it's dropped to 28. (for instance, Awanai (their best selling single) dropped to 34 in the same period, also take in factor that Runners high was on sale for 1 more day) Hopefully, tommorrow it will climb back to around mid 10-ish place.

Anyway I've added Nielsen SoundScan sales to my previous post

(btw I've thought that this single would be way much more successful sales wise (40k first week would be nice), as Nishikawa is(/was?) fairly popular, just as the game (176K first week)... But at least they (SCANDAL) - hopefully - attract a dozens of new fans, so yay)

EDIT: Second week sales: #26 with 4,454 copies

(On a totally unrelated note, yay for Goose house 9th place!)
