SCANDAL promoting "Yumemiru Tsubasa" (2009)

SCANDAL is Japanese pop-rock girl band from Osaka, Japan. Formed in August 2006 by four high school girls, they started playing street lives until they were noticed and signed to the indie label Kitty Records. In 2008, they released three singles and a mini-album, while performing shows in the United States, France, and Hong Kong. Because of this, they have an international fanbase. That October, SCANDAL released their major debut single, "DOLL", under EPIC Records Japan.

Indie Career

SCANDAL was formed in August 2006 by four high school girls. The girls, HARUNA, TOMOMI, MAMI, and RINA, met in an Osaka vocal and dance school called CALESS.[1] Shortly thereafter, they started performing street lives every weekend at Shiroten in Osaka Castle Park. Soon, they started getting offers from clubs in Osaka and Kyoto.

SCANDAL signed with indie label Kitty Records and released three singles exclusive to Tower Records in 2008. The first, "Space Ranger", ranked #2 on the Tower indie charts and the other two, "Koi Moyou" and "Kagerou", ranked #1.[1] In March, they embarked on the Japan Nite US tour 2008, touring six major cities in the United States. They also performed at Sakura-Con, one of the largest anime conventions in the United States. In July, they preformed in front of 10,000 people at France's Japan Expo and also at Hong Kong's Ani-Com in August. SCANDAL concluded their indie career with the release of their first mini-album, YAH! YAH! YAH! HELLO SCANDAL ~Maido! SCANDAL Desu! Yah Yah Yah!~.

Major Debut

2008 continued to be an eventful year for SCANDAL. In October, they made their major debut on EPIC Records Japan with their single "DOLL". This has given them more exposure, including appearances on mainstream music television shows like MUSIC STATION.[2] The group released their second major single "SAKURA Goodbye" in March 2009 to commemorate TOMOMI and MAMI's high school graduation.[3] The song is a new version of their indie song, "SAKURA", only heard live.[4] The next month, their then upcoming third major single "ShoujoS" was used as the tenth opening theme for the anime BLEACH. This brought their popularity up even higher as the single ranked #6 on the Oricon charts when it was released two months later in June.[5]

On October 14th, SCANDAL released their fourth major single, "Yumemiru Tsubasa" which was followed with their major debut album, BEST★SCANDAL, the next week. The album ranked #5 on the Oricon weekly chart, making them the first girl band since ZONE to have a debut album chart in the top five.[6] In December, SCANDAL was nominated for "Best Newcomer" at the 51st Nihon Record Taisho, but lost to BIGBANG.
