So, how does /jp/ feel about SCANDAL?

I finally managed to get my hands on a Greatest Hits album by them to get a sample of some of their other stuff, and I gotta say, I really like them. They aren't just a generic "am I kawaii ugu" Girl group, but they can actually play pretty well, and have a handful of good tracks. I gotta say, I liked every song in the album. I like their style and whatnot.

Also, not too sure how /jp/ feels about 3D girls, but the girls themselves are pretty cute too.

>> No.9769273

Also, gonna bump this by saying, this was probably one of my fave tracks in the Greatest Hits album.

So /jp/ is just /a/ 2.0....

Sigh... Guess I'll take this to /mu/ or some shit, though I'll probably just get called a weeaboo and not get any actual discussion.

I feel like /v/ would get the best discussion, but it's filled with Nazimods these days, and I'd like to avoid getting banned once again.

I like about half of their stuff. Maybe a little more. But to me, they're mainly eye candy. That said, they do have some good songs.

Oh ok,it's nice to know this is a friendlier board than /a/. Don't get me wrong I understand /a/ elitism in such topics. 3D girls are never /a/ related, so I assumed /jp/ might be more mellow in terms of such a subject. Glad to know I was right. I'll keep this board's speed in mind, I've just gotten used to /a/'s and /fit/'s faster speeds. Not to mention /v/ which can be too crowded.

Anyways, the eye candy was what drew to them initially. But I stopped caring a bit after, considering getting anything but single mp3's was very difficult 2 years ago.

After hearing their Hits album though, I'm drawn to them again. In fact I can't stop listening to it. It's pretty damn good? What other J-rock groups do you like /jp/?

>>9769323
I've seen a couple vids where they're being interviewed. The guitarist and the drummer are cute as hell. However, like most Japanese girls, the whole group needs to work on their teeth.

>> No.9769507

>>9769342
Yes and no, I've had some decent discussion in /v/ here and there. It's just a gamble, there is a lot of stupid people on /v/. Sometimes I rate /v/ higher than /a/ on the intelligence scale though. It's just the luck of the draw I guess.

If you like Scandal, you could try out Zone if you don't know them already...

I actually really like the main vocalist's (Haruna) voice. It is really unique.

She did have some really bad vocal trouble for a while though, like she could barely sing at all. It is MUCH better now that it was 6-8 months ago.

>1 pedal

Sums up their music.

Seriously, their music is lifeless and it seems to have gotten worse now that the fame has gotten to their heads. They don't even write their own songs.

But hey, I'm not really a fan of pop music anyways, so I'm probably being harsh.

>> No.9773714

>>9773415
I think they've only composed 3-4 of their songs, but they mostly stick with the same few composers. They DO write almost all of their vocals though.

I find Taiyou Scandalous to be lacking though (was produced by ORANGE RANGE). It just seems to be too loud and in your face. So far their new album is pretty good.

Also, Mami's pedal board has grown significantly since that picture.

>> No.9773915

>>9773415
I like their older albums up until the Fullmetal Alchemist single (cant remember the name). However, I also doubt about themselves playing some of their songs in the studio. A couple of solos (apart of not being really difficult) doesn't seem like their playing, and also they do a lot of mistakes live.

>> No.9774459

Haruna can't sing for shit. I kinda like Mami cuz she Ota like us. Other than that, their music is meh and like >>9773915 I have doubts on the studio recordings.
