Background information about 'Luminous'

Japan's record-breaking girl band SCANDAL delivers their most honest and emotionally raw statement yet with "Luminous", marking a milestone as JPU Records' 100th CD release. Following their recognition by Guinness World Records as "the longest running rock band with the same musicians (female)", the quartet throws out their own rule book to craft something genuinely transformative. This isn't just another J-rock album – it's a fearless exploration of vulnerability wrapped in their signature infectious energy.

The band digs deeper than ever before, channeling everything from the adrenaline-fueled "Line of sight" (featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base LINXTAGE) to bitter-sweet pop gems that showcase their evolved songwriting. There's even a track born from pandemic frustration – written while quarantined thousands of miles from home during a cancelled world tour. The 90s/2000s influences shine through brilliantly, proving SCANDAL can honor their roots while pushing boundaries. Each track on "Luminous" feels like a personal confession set to soaring melodies and razor-sharp arrangements.
