Genki Life Magazine • Spring 2017 1 Editor’s Note For the last three months…well acutally…since Christmas Day, I’ve gotten very distracted. This time, it wasn’t because of a girl, but by playing the video game Final Fantasy XV. I’ve waited since I bought it when it came out to play it since last issue’s production deadline. I haven’t gotten into any video game since Final Fantasy XII and Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King on the Playstation 2. This could be a good or bad thing. For the good…I’m getting back in playing video games. For the bad…that’s another story. Me personally, basically I could undo all the positive things I’ve gained. Of all the few things I’ve attended was Animé Los Angeles at the end of January and Long Beach Comic Expo last month. ALA is always good to go to. In some ways, it was a lot more fun this time around. But I wish a couple of my other friends were there to step it up. LBCE was a last-minute decision day trip. Albeit, it was a good day trip. There were a couple movies I wanted to see with friends, but time and playing FFXV let me not to. One last note. In Issue 26, the issue date range was incorrect. The last issue should’ve been from Staff December 20 to March 19.

They named themselves Scandal (stylized as SCANDAL). With most bands, they started out doing street performances and at local clubs. They were doing these types gigs for about two years and had a small, but growing following of fans. Scandal was eventually discovered and the rest is history. Celebrates 10 Years Scandal signed up with Kitty Records, a company primar- with ily producing anime-themed songs for that industry. They began writing and performing songs for this industry. A few of them made it to the top five of the Tower Records Indie charts. During that time, they were having tours around Japan and abroad in the United States and Europe. New Album Their major debut came later when they signed on with Epic Records Japan. Signing up with ERJ brought Scandal into the mainstream. BEST✩SCANDAL was their first major studio album in 2009 which featured all their singles up to that point. Though Scandal was already doing mainstream rock/punk pop/pop music, several of their singles were used in anime. One of their most notable songs in “Shōjo-S” which Scandal’s debut album in 2009, is featured as an opening theme to Bleach. BEST✩SCANDAL. Now ten years later, to celebrate their formation, Scandal released their newest studio album simply called SCANDAL (two new) tracks with past favorites such as “Shunkan Sen- back in February.
