TEMPTATION BOOK SCANDAL (Yamaha MOOK Series)Yamaha Music MediaScandal - Temptation Book
It's a music book for those who wants to play their songs. But it also has pictures of the band and accessories as well as articles but written in Japanese. The pictures alone are worth it for the serious Scandal fan even if you can't read Japanese or don't play musical instruments.

Temptation Box [w/ Photo Book, Limited Edition]SCANDALTemptation Box [w/ Photo Book, Ltd Ed.]
Good follow up 2d album to their 1st album, Best Scandal. The songs are different in every aspect as it's not really rock-like like their earlier songs. But it shows that the band is developing their own style of music and growing as musicians so that's good especially as they mature more! Some of the songs grows on you as you listen to it more and more. This PB is MUCH better than the 1st one as this one has clear pictures (close up shots) but some grainy ones (wide shots) are still present even after using a prof. photographer this time! No riske poses but rather Cute poses by the band's members :) The single to best represent the album... Everybody Say Yeah!

SAKURA Goodbye [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]SCANDALScandal - Sakura Goodbye [w/ DVD, LE]
Scandal's 2d big single, Sakura Goodbye, after their hit, Doll! Very rock-like and catchy! The song was written as a memory for Tomomi and Mami, who both finished high school in the same year! Get the limited edition versions, as soon as the singles/albums are released, since it contains the video of their songs, which are very hard to find elsewhere!

Hydrangea ga Saiteiru [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]StereoponyHydrangea ga Saiteiru
Amazing all-girl band from Japan! Similar to Scandal but somewhat younger (the members of Scandal and Stereopony are friends) =:) Scandal even know Yui as she help with one of their songs! This is their album which is really a collection of their past Indie singles including some new titles! If you really want to start listening then collecting, then begin with this CD! Hopefully, the band will return and tour the States again!

Best Scandal [w/ Photo Book, Limited Edition]SCANDALScandal - Best Scandal (w/Photo Book)
I pre-ordered the CD with Photobook. The new CD is very good. There were ~2 songs which have a jazz-like melody which really surprised me! The group is slowly maturing and developing more of their musical style and tastes. The photobook is a disappointment :( The pictures were 1) slightly blurry, 2) grainy and 3) dark! It looks like the band was photographed in a dark warehouse with the lights shut off! It wouldn't be so bad if the pictures did not appear blurry! Even advertisements had better pictures or better focus than the pictures in the picture book! The picture book was a major let down and wasn't worth the extra money! Don't know why the band chose a Circus theme for their covers but the best cover is on the regular edition CD!

Taiyo no Uta Premium EditionMovieTaiyo no Uta Starring Yui
Very good especially since it's Yui's first on-screen role. Her character is very likable. The best part is when she sings as she has a terrific voice. The downside is that the movie is only in Japanese with no English subtitles, hence, a lower rating of 3 not 4 or 5. At their discretion... People may want to search for an online copy of the movie with subtitles.
