SCANDAL - японская j-pop-rock группа.
Четыре девушки старшеклассницы из Осаки как ярые любительницы музыки решили сами писать и играть свои собственные песни, совмещая хобби с обычной школьной жизнью. Время шло, и они начали получать заявки на концерты из различных клубов Киото и Осаки.
В Августе 2007го года группе была предложена возможность принять участие в мероприятии, проходящем в Shibuya Club Asia, одном из самых уважаемых клубов в Шибуйе. В тоже время музыкальный лейбл Tower Records решил сотрудничать с ними и через несколько месяцев четыре школьницы начали настоящую карьеру.
Их первый сингл вышел 3-го Марта 2008-го года, который был распродан по всей Японии, т.к. пользовался высоким спросом. Чтобы не создавать фанатам проблем, альбом был реализован как в Американском так и в Японском iTunes Music Store 8-го Апреля 2008-го года. Вскоре были реализованы следующие два сингла (в CD форме).
В начале Сентября 2008-го года они начали переговоры с главой Sony Music Japan насчет нового контракта, поскольку Tower Records выпустило очень малое количество их дисков, а раскуплены они были очень быстро.

Biography:
In August 2006 four high school girls from Osaka, Japan started a band called SCANDAL. They started performing almost every weekend in Shiroten and later at clubs and musical venues, by doing so they became more and more recognised in all of Japan. In August 2007 Tower Records approached them, and a couple of months later they came to an agreement. In 2008 they released three singles in three consecutive months. After the release of their first mini-album, due to the low number of units Tower Records produced, SCANDAL signed a contract with Sony's daughter company Epic Records in September 2008.

Scandal is a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. The band scored a hit in the US with the song “The Warrior”, which peaked at #7 in 1984. Other minor hits included “Goodbye to You” (1982 - #65 US), “Love’s Got A Line On You” (1983 - #59 US), and “Hands Tied” (1984 - #41 US).
Scandal was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarist Zack Smith, who also wrote most of the band’s hits. The other initial members included: bassist Ivan Elias (1950-1995), guitarist Keith Mack, guitarist Jon Bon Jovi (briefly), keyboardist Benjy King, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and vocalist Patty Smyth. Thommy Price later replaced LaRocka on drums.
The band had much success early on but due to struggles within the group and their record company, it slowly dissolved—losing member after member. By the time “The Warrior” tour hit the road in 1984, all that remained of the original lineup were Smyth and Mack. Scandal broke up shortly after the tour ended in 1985. The group (minus Ivan Elias, who died of cancer in June 1995) reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited show and did a string of concerts on the United States East Coast culminating in a show at Irving Plaza in their home city (New York) on February 9, 2005. During the summer of 2006, the band (excluding Thommy Price) reunited again for VH1’s “We Are The 80’s” tour, playing a string of large - mainly outdoor - venues and earning critical acclaim. During the summer and fall of 2007, they toured again (this time without Zack Smith).
In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by Patty Smyth and Scandal (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). At a performance in Dewey Beach, DE on August 3, 2008, Smyth indicated Scandal would be releasing a new five song EP in the near future. Scandal also performed one of their new songs, “Trust In Me”. Other new titles include “Make It Hard” and “End Of The Girl”. Patty Smyth & Scandal debuted their first single as a band (“Hard For You To Love Me”, also referred to as “Make It Hard”) in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, CT to a standing ovation. Patty Smyth stated the song will be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single has been delayed to late 2009 as the EP will expanded to a full length album according to Patty Smyth’s blog in May 2009.
