Scandal
Luminous
Japans record-breaking girl band SCANDAL becomes JPU Records 100th CD release with bright new album LUMINOUS. The album follows SCANDALs recognition by Guinness World Records as "the longest running rock band with the same musicians (female)". The band states that the album might be their most honest and open to-date, and sees them throw-out their own rule book in order to write material in a deeper way than ever before. LUMINOUS includes fast-paced tracks such as Line of sight, chosen as a tie-in to arcade game Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base LINXTAGE where it plays during key battles and action scenes, as well as bitter-sweet pop tracks, a song influenced by their 90s / 2000s roots, and even a track written out of frustration from a cancelled world tour leg as a member is quarantined to a hotel room thousands of miles from home.
