Introduction:
The Spring 2026 music calendar marks a significant milestone for one of Japan’s most enduring rock bands. On May 27, 2026, SCANDAL officially released their 12th original album, “ECHO,” a 9-track collection that brings together the band’s signature sound with an impressive roster of acclaimed songwriters.
The album features the band members’ own lyrical contributions on select tracks. RINA penned the lyrics for “Heaven,” while TOMOMI wrote “Stay Holy”. This release is available in four distinct physical configurations and across all major digital streaming platforms.
The Sound: A Diverse Collection from a Star-Studded Lineup:
“ECHO” is described as a collection that brings together SCANDAL’s signature rock energy with fresh perspectives from a diverse array of creators. The album features contributions from:
Kubotakai (クボタカイ) – A rising star in the J-pop scene, providing lyrics for “Hurt beat” and both words and music for “クラクラシック.”
Hidenori Tanaka (田中秀典) – A veteran songwriter who contributed lyrics for “Girl is Ghost” and co-wrote “Strawberry.”
Satorishi Shiriashi (シライシ紗トリ) – A seasoned producer handling “Dress to kill” in its entirety
Keita Kawaguchi (川口圭太) – A frequent SCANDAL collaborator contributing to multiple tracks
Yasushi Okubo (大久保友裕) – Providing “SPOTLIGHT.”
Why “ECHO” Matters:
1. A Diverse Creative Collaborations
The album’s tracklist brings together an impressive range of songwriters from the viral pop sensibility of Kubotakai (who shares an agency with SCANDAL) to the veteran expertise of Hidenori Tanaka and the genre-bending production of Satorishi Shiriashi. This diversity ensures that no two tracks sound alike, while still maintaining SCANDAL’s core rock identity.
2. Member Contributions as Bookends
RINA and TOMOMI’s lyrical contributions on tracks 6 and 9 create a satisfying structure: outside songwriters frame the album’s front half, while the band members themselves shape its emotional conclusion. “Heaven” and “Stay Holy” serve as personal statements from two of SCANDAL’s four members, grounding the album in their own voices.
3. The 19th Anniversary Live Capture
The Blu-ray included in Limited Edition A is a valuable document of the band’s live energy. Recorded at Namba Hatch on their 19th anniversary, the 14-song setlist spans their career from early classics like “Shunkan Sentimental” to deeper cuts. For fans unable to attend the live shows, this footage is the next best thing.
4. A Growing Archive in “her” Magazine
The fifth volume of “her” Magazine continues SCANDAL’s tradition of releasing a print publication alongside their music. At 68 pages, this is the most extensive issue yet, featuring exclusive photos and in-depth interviews about the album. For collectors, this magazine is a companion piece to the previous four volumes.
5. The Echo of 19 Years
2026 is SCANDAL’s 19th year since formation (the band formed in 2006). “ECHO” arrives as they approach their 20th anniversary, serving as both a celebration of their longevity and a bridge to their future. The title itself,” ECHO,” suggests resonance: the lasting impact of their music, the reverberation of two decades of rock, and the ways their sound continues to be heard.
Conclusion:
SCANDAL’s “ECHO” is a confident and diverse 12th album that showcases the band’s ability to collaborate with a wide range of creators while maintaining their core identity. With member-penned tracks from RINA and TOMOMI, contributions from rising star Kubotakai and veteran producer Satorishi Shiriashi, and a unified visual concept across all formats, the album offers something for every type of SCANDAL fan.
For collectors, the four editions provide a wealth of bonus content from the 70-minute documentary and 500ml tumbler in the Complete Limited Edition to the 68-page magazine in Edition B and the 14-song live Blu-ray in Edition A. For streaming listeners, the digital release offers immediate access to all 9 tracks.
