In August 2006, a brand new rock band "SCANDAL" was formed by four high school girls in Osaka, Japan. They started musical activity with their fearless personality and aggressive rock sound.
Every weekend since, SCANDAL has been very actively performing at SHIROTEN, a sacred place for street live performance at Osaka Castle Park in Osaka, Japan. Eventually, more than one hundred fans constantly appeared for every single live performance of SCANDAL on street and live house.
