Those watching Music Natalie, hello!
-
We are SCANDAL!
-
We just released our new song "one more time"!
-
Following their 15th anniversary concert at Osaka-Jo Hall
-
We're so glad we were able to safely hold a concert at Osaka-Jo Hall.
-
It was so emotional--we felt relieved, and we also felt touched.
-
Since that was when things were getting pretty bad,
-
we didn't know until the last minute whether or not we'd be able to hold it.
-
We were somehow able to.
-
Tickets were also sold out and we had a live audience in attendance.
-
-People also tuned in to the live stream of it.
-Worldwide.
-
-23 countries total.
-That's including Japan as well.
-
-We're very grateful.
-It was so much fun.
-
The theme of new song "one more time"
-
For "one more time"...
-
We started writing it because we wanted to make an upbeat song.
-
I wrote the lyrics with the theme of enjoying music that you can easily listen and dance to,
-
and once again enjoying the things that make you happy.
-
Since this is a difficult time for everyone,
-
I'm sure there are moments when you feel guilty about enjoying something.
-
Feeling happy when enjoying music or watching a movie,
-
you don't need to cut things like that out of your life.
-
This song is about having fun all together again.
-
About the music and lyrics
-
Music-wise...
-
I've been listening to K-Pop recently,
-
and there are songs that pique my interest--
-
both tempo- and rhythm-wise,
-
and those aspects...
-
How can I put it?
-
This was written in a different way than previous songs,
-
so it feels very fresh
-
and feels like a new door has opened for us.
-
Since we finally got into the feel of wanting to make upbeat songs,
-
we made [our three most recent singles] a kind of "trilogy of unleashing our hearts."
-
"one more time" is at the very peak of happiness,
-
so we want to feel upbeat alongside everyone.
-
We're glad that we were able to make "one more time."
-
We weren't able to feel that open until "eternal" and "Ivory."
-
They're two very tuned-in songs released in a row.
-
You wrote the lyrics with great care.
-
To be more specific,
-
ever since the pandemic began,
-
words that I used to casually use such as "Let's hold hands" or "Embrace me"
-
no longer felt right to me, and also became hard for me to use.
-
I've come to feel that they don't at all fit how we want to express who we are right now.
-
I was very careful when writing the lyrics,
-
which could only be done with a tuned-in mindset,
-
and I think it turned out well.
-
You found a new way of expression.
-
But...
-
How do I put it...
-
It was at this point in time that I thought it'd be okay to further set my mind free,
-
so I truly am glad I was able to write this.
-
This is a song I want us to take care in singing for a long time.
-
Behind-the-scenes stories from the music video shoot
-
This is a very happy song that you can dance to,
-
so as you can see, we're having a party right now.
-
The theme is a home-party.
-
So far, aside from the performance scenes, all we've been doing is eating.
-
How did that happen?
-
This might end up being a video of just us eating.
-
There are also scenes of us in the kitchen getting ready for the party.
-
We started eating while preparing.
-
We've eaten a little too much.
-
[The staff's] a little bit mad at us.
-
They're putting up with it right now, too.
-
Because they're in waiting mode.
-
After this, we're going to eat again right away.
-
The performance scenes are also pretty raucous. We're playing while dancing.
-
So, I think this will be a music video that feels a little different than our past ones.
-
This has been SCANDAL!
-
Bye bye!
