Well I think we can assume that they will go to LA this one should be almost sure I guess?

O my...in Europe ... .toj. .dies.
I hope to go in London or Paris ...Will be a Dream for me.

L.A and NYC are the most internationally known and popular cities in America, so there's a pretty high chance that at least those two cities will make it onto the list of stops. They're usually where most international bands choose to go when they come this way.

Although being from Northern California, I'm really hoping they'll choose San Francisco over L.A just this once.  Travelling doesn't bother me too much though haha. I'm planning on attempting to go to most (if not all) of their U.S dates, but it would still be nice to see a band choose to come where I live for a change. x)

It's entirely possible though that they would come to either San Francisco or L.A. Both cities have a lot of Japanese citizens and they both have individual things that appeal to artists. While it's pretty easy to say L.A has a higher chance of being chosen as a destination, it's still possible S.F would be possible as well.

Or they could just go to both cities. That would be great too.

Honestly, as far as U.S cities go, I think one of the only for sure locations would probably be NYC. There's a very little chance SCANDAL would pass up that chance.

I think we've made it pretty clear to the band that LA is definitely the best place in the US for them to go. I also did tell them in person in Hawaii to come to LA next time haha The last time they came around the area in 2011, which was the first time they had come back to the US after getting pretty well-known, we definitely did give them an unforgettable experience. That's where they truly learned of SH, after all! HARU also said in the SCANDAL SHOW photobook that she would love to live in LA. So, yes, I would be very surprised (and a bit heartbroken) if they didn't play here!

Also, many Japanese artists lately have been playing lives both in LA and NYC when they've come over to the US (ONE OK ROCK, Perfume, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, BABYMETAL), so there's a good possibility that SCANDAL might follow a similar schedule.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems a bit obvious since the Japan performances finish up around mid-April, but, as said in this short news clip, the overseas dates are scheduled to start from around May.

Well I am only 50 minutes from London by train so I am happy

I am so excited. I look forward to be it. I hope we'll have dates of world tour soon. I afraid that tickets have sold quickly as One Ok Rock

Hope they come to NEW YORK CITY!

I hope they tour the whole of the US, but that might be asking for a lot!

I am mulling over it but I am considering to get tix for the two shows in Hiroshima. Any S-H members thinking of doing the same?

Haha damn, it seems like they will be going to Europe right after I leave for Japan. Sweet irony. But I'll stay there for a year so hopefully I'll get a chance to watch them there. 

However getting the tickets would have been so much easier for the London dates when you could do it in english, and finding my way around the city aswell.

Oh man, they're coming back to the US, and here I am again without any means to go see them.


Anyone who's lucky enough to go, grats xD

I wish they will come to canada sometime in the future. no money for out of country travels..... or any in that matter

i think ill go to uk to see them

(just something that crossed my mind) 
could this be a coincidence or is the band granting the fans' wish to have a World Tour for hitting a 50k likes on fb? 
just like mentioned, the fans were commenting of wanting a World Tour to celebrate a 50k likes on fb. it just remind to me like how the girls are reaching out to international fans and even considering us and not limiting to the local fans,and the fact they even highlight it on the new album name which makes me happy. it's like showing that the girls would also want to be closer to us

I'm sure that the band has been planning this tour for a while now, especially since they always say they decide on an album title before working on an album. A world tour must also take a long time to plan out; I don't think it's something they would decide rather suddenly just because they hit so many likes on Facebook. That has to be only a coincidence.

Umm...so I recall one of our SH members asking the band about a world tour in the Hawaii tour, and Rina did reply that they'd be having a world tour very soon....paraphrasing her "maybe even in October!  ". And yeah, it's October right now, so yeah, Rina gave us a pretty big hint back then Lol. Too bad none of us bit, it was too unbelievable then. Probably still unbelievable now

So you can see, they've been planning this for a long time

haha ah, that's right, Mark! I completely forgot Eddie had asked about that. RINA didn't actually say anything about October, though haha.

Eddie had asked, "Any plans for a world tour soon?", and RINA said (translated by the other Mark), "There will be! We want to! But, before we do, we need to go back to Japan and practice there first so that way we'll do our best with the world tour."

Ohh okay, don't know where I got October from. But I like it better this way, it's like we either planted the idea in their mind or sped up the process  .common.

I'm sure, creating the fb account was a first step of testing popularity around the world regarding to plan a world tour. But don't think, that the tour is the direct answer to the 50.000 likes

Yep you don't plan something like this in a few weeks, it surely takes months. I think they know about this since the start of the year, at least the big details and what the plan was.

yeah, just got caught into my imagination, it's natural for me to over think things and enjoy things in my head hahahaha

Guys, I think tickets are already available (?) not sure if this is only for SCANDAL MANIA members for now. Can someone translate this bit?
