All-female Japanese rock band Scandal is holding a concert in Singapore this September 2025
Before Japanese girl groups like Babymetal, Band-Maid, and Atarashii Gakko were in existence, there was Scandal – a four-member rock group that debuted in 2006. Amidst the primarily saccharine, cutesy outlook of other female idols in the Japanese music industry, this bunch of high school pals stood out with their badassery and broke all stereotypes of what a teen girl group in the scene should sound like. They play their own instruments too – with Mami on guitar, Tomomi on bass, Rina on drums, and Haruna as the lead vocalist.
The OG fans would remember the foursome for their iconic black-and-red schoolgirl-like stage outfits back in their earlier days. Now in their mid-30s, they sport a more cleaned-up aesthetic alongside more masterful vocals – but with no lack of the same attitude they've come to be known and loved for.
Scandal is known for hits like Harukaze, which was featured in anime Bleach; Shunkan Sentimental (瞬間センチメンタル) which was the soundtrack for Fullmetal Alchemist; and Yoake No Ryuuseigun (夜明けの流星群) for a Pokémon movie. As for non-anime-related tunes, Scandal Baby; Awanaitsumorino, Genkidene (会わないつもりの、元気でね); and Departure are among the extensive collection of power-packed earworms across their 11-album discography.
As part of their 'Love, Spark, Joy!' Scandal Tour 2025, the J-rock quartet will be performing at The Star Theatre in Singapore on September 13, 2025, a Saturday evening. Prices for tickets start from $118, and go up to $228 for VIP packages with a meet and greet.

He thanked listeners who sent in their well wishes and said the engagement is a 'beautiful feeling' and it's 'a very exciting time to be alive'. He added: 'We were surrounded by gorgeous people who we didn't know, strangers in the hotel, and people who were working around the place and got a beautiful ring organised, and the weather was gorgeous. 'And it's just the accumulation of a lot of lovely things happening, and I just decided now is the time. 'More to follow in terms of details and all the rest of it. And by the more to follow, I mean I'll tell my family first. 'It's a very exciting time to be alive. I'm a very, very lucky man, and I think it's one of those beautiful moments where the world feels lighter.' O'Dalaigh Jewellers in Clifden, County Galway had posted on social media that Ryan had come to them 'discreetly' looking for a ring for a 'very special lady'. The jewellers shared a photo of Ryan and Clare outside the store with a member of staff. However, after media queries to Ryan's agent by the Irish press, the post was deleted. Clare was born in Leeds to an Indian father and an Irish mother. She won the annual Irish beauty pageant The Rose of Tralee in 2010 when she was 26. They confirmed their relationship when they attended the Irish Post Book Awards together in 2023. He was previously married to producer Anne Marie Power who he shares daughters Ella and Julia with. Ryan joined Virgin Radio UK in January 2024 to present its mid-morning programme after The Chris Evans Show. He has also sporadically presented programmes on BBC Radio 2 over the years. He is widely known in Ireland for hosting chat show The Late Late Show from 2009 to 2023. The show is now hosted by Patrick Kielty.

So good on him - I wish him well.' 3
