Fresh from celebrating their 15th anniversary in August, popular four-member rock band SCANDAL, release their latest music video today. The track is entitled “one more time” and was originally released as a single last week. The track has been picked up by eight official Spotify playlists with a total of 645,000 listeners, and the band has also been selected as the cover stars of Spotify’s She Rocks playlist. The track also entered Amazon Music’s trending list in the UK upon its release.

“one more time” music video sees マザーファッ子 return as director. She had previously worked on SCANDAL’s “Fuzzy” and “Saishuheiki Kimi” music videos from latest album Kiss from the darkness. Both videos have been viewed over one million times each on YouTube. The video is shot with all four members of SCANDAL enjoying themselves at a home party, eating sweets, dancing around the kitchen, playing cards and more. The music video captures the song’s positive message, “I don’t need a special ticket to purely enjoy what I like and the music I like”.

The single of “one more time” will be released later this month physically internationally through  our friends at JPU Records as a limited-edition tape cassette. The package includes English lyric translations and Romaji transliterations and is limited to just 100 copies.
