SCANDAL
How can you not like this? This is SCANDAL's newest single. I just got their latest album Baby Action, and can't stop listening to it. Pop music in Japan! This would just never happen here, somehow.
Incidentally, I linked to iTunes up there, but this is also available on Amazon. Both iTunes and Amazon are really working to bring Japanese music to their respective download sections. Support that! Buy this.
But this is not even my favorite. My favorite is still their first song from three years ago, DOLL.
They had kind of a Runaways type thing going on in those days. In a land of manufactured musical artists, they are a real band that formed organically and make their own music. I do like their look better now, though, from LOVE SURVIVE at the top. The Doc Martens and short skirts (actually skorts). This is their signature look now.
SHOUJO S has everything - from their first album, I still love this. I'm a sucker for a girl band that does choreography - and apparently they do all of theirs themselves (they actually met in dance school; they're dancers).
They're playing on March 28 at Budokhan in Tokyo. (Yes, they are apparently that big now.) I am actually planning to go.
