Pop-rock band SCANDAL will release their first digital exclusive single KOISURU UNIVERSE on October 22nd. The four-track single is available for pre-order now from iTunes ahead of its release in Europe courtesy of JPU Records, with the title track available for download immediately.
KOISURU UNIVERSE features two brand new songs and two live recordings taken from SCANDAL’s 11th anniversary show held at Billboard Live Osaka on August 21st. The unusual release date commemorates exactly nine years since SCANDAL signed a major record contract with Epic Records Japan and dropped their debut single DOLL, which is also available on the band’s recently released self-titled double best album, also out in Europe on CD and digital formats courtesy of JPU Records.
Lead track KOISURU UNIVERSE is also currently being tied in with Japanese confectionary brand Bourbon, who have commissioned a special animated short music video using the song which sees SCANDAL’s members transformed into rocking anime characters. The video has been created by director and illustrator Sugimoto Kousuke.
