SCANDAL’s vocalist, HARUNA, and guitarist, MAMI appeared on TOKYO FM’s programme on 15th February, the day their 10th year anniversary since forming best album,『SCANDAL』was released. They introduced 3 songs that「gets them fired up from the afternoon onwards」, which they’ll usually listen to while they’re doing house chores.

This is「LISTEN! MY PLAYLIST」, the corner that peeps into the kind of songs that artists and creators will listen to usually. Last year, SCANDAL welcomed their 10th year anniversary since forming. On this day, vocalist, HARUNA, and guitarist, MAMI appeared as guests.

HARUNA: Usually, when are the times that you listen to music?

MAMI: Like when I’m doing house chores. I’ll listen to music as I cook or do the laundry. All while humming to myself.

HARUNA: I’ll do it too while putting on make-up at home, I suppose. I have this huge audio player at home that can be easily hooked up with my mobile phone, so I’ll use it to play my songs.

MAMI: There are times where you’ll want to hear the bass properly too, aren’t there~!

HARUNA: When I want to listen to the bass seriously, I’ll prefer to crank up the volume.

The MY PLAYLIST theme that SCANDAL’s HARUNA and MAMI has songs for are,「songs that gets you fired up from the afternoon onwards」.

These are 3 songs that make them go, ‘Let’s give it our all in the afternoon too!’

【MAMI’s Song Selection】-「Yellow」(Kimura Kaela)

It’s a speedy rock number, and a song that I love very much. The positive lyrics ride on Kimura-san’s straightforward vocal abilities, and resounds in my chest. The rhythm of the B-melody inspires the fighting spirit within me. It’s a song that you can yell alongside the lyrics, and gets you all fired up.

【HARUNA’s Song Selection】-「Suddenly I See」 (KT Tunstall)

This was the song that is used as the opening theme song for the movie,『The Devil Wears Prada』. Recently, this song has been looping constantly in my head. Similarly, recently, I’ve also cut my hair, and my fringe was lopped off. I feel as though I’ve become a new person, hugely alike to the heroine in『The Devil Wears Prada』. The walkways and streets that I know now seem to be sparkling. Since it gives me renewed feelings of wanting to work hard, this has became my recent theme song.

【MAMI’s Song Selection】-「MR.BEER」(Charisma.com)

With the duo from Charisma.com as OLs, I really love the tweet-like, slightly malicious lyrics that speak to all the OLs. It’s like I want to work and study afterwards, but once it ends, how about having a beer or something carbonated, and letting it wash away everything from the day in a flash.
