Two of the tracks will be the first overseas release from Donbondobondo, a hip hop project from SCANDAL’s MAMI and TOMOMI.

Take Me Out is the first single from SCANDAL to be written and sung by the group’s drummer RINA, along with its B-side I Want You. On recording the track, RINA comments, “This release is a direct result of our recent world tour activities, combining various countries’ music and rhythms with our own style of J-rock. We can’t wait to play it on our next world tour this September.”
