SCANDAL [Japanese Rock Band]

OMG can't contain this to myself so I had to share this. I'm a bit disappointed at myself why I found this band only now. I really admire them for composing such good songs and even arranged some of their musics as well. They started way back in 2006 doing street performances under an indie label company. In 2008-present they've been under Epic Records. They might be angelic looking but they're badass when playing their instruments.

I must say they were almost the same when SNSD started, and before I forgot, I think Haruna is a SONE:
