The song was really well performed, so I thought that they deserved a place here at AE. Shoujo S Scandal (stylized SCANDAL) is a Japanese pop group. Proclaiming themselves as "The Most Powerful Japanese Girlie Pop Rock", they are composed of four high school girls from Osaka, Japan: Haruna Ono, Tomomi Ogawa, Mami Sasazaki, and Rina Suzuki. Scandal is very energetic, mostly due to the fact that Ono, the eldest and leader of the band, shares lead vocals with the other three members, in order to not have a focus on one girl in particular and to give each time in the limelight. "The four girls came together as music-loving high school friends to form Scandal, and decided to write and play their own songs while juggling their regular school lives. As time went on, the group started to get offers from clubs and music halls around Osaka and Kyoto." I can't get the "Yay-yay-yeah" outta my head!

The girls, HARUNA, TOMOMI, MAMI, and RINA, met in an Osaka vocal and dance school. Shortly thereafter, they started performing street lives every weekend at Shiroten in Osaka Castle Park. Their popularity steadily began to grow and they started getting offers from clubs in Osaka and Kyoto. Soon, SCANDAL signed with indie label Kitty Records and released three singles exclusive to Tower Records in 2008. The first, "Space Ranger", ranked #2 on the Tower indie charts and the other two, "Koi Moyou" and "Kagerou", ranked #1. In March, they embarked on "Japan Nite US tour 2008", touring six major cities in the United States. They also performed at Sakura-Con, one of the largest anime conventions in the United States. In July, they preformed in front of 10,000 people in France's "Japan Expo" and also "Ani-Com Hong Kong" in August. SCANDAL concluded their indie career with the release of their first mini-album, YAH! YAH! YAH! HELLO SCANDAL ~Maido! SCANDAL Desu! Yah Yah Yah!~. 2008 continued to be an eventful year for SCANDAL. In October, they made their major debut on EPIC Records Japan with their single "DOLL". This has given them more exposure, including appearances on mainstream music television shows like Music Station. To commemorate TOMOMI and MAMI's high school graduation, the group released their second major single "SAKURA Goodbye" in March 2009. This song is a new version of their indie song, "SAKURA", only heard live. The next month, their then upcoming third single "ShoujoS" was used as the tenth opening theme for the anime Bleach. This brought their popularity up even higher as the single ranked #6 on the Oricon charts when it was released two months later in June. they have three ways to get info but heres there website http://www.scandal-4.com/
