rock veterans SCANDAL have dropped the music video for their latest single “Girl is Ghost,” marking another chapter in the all-female quartet’s evolving sonic story. The track wields cutting, guitar-driven funk–rock energy over a steady, four-on-the-floor groove, blending athletic instrumentation with the band’s signature melodic sensibilities. It’s the kind of song that feels both immediate and reflective — like a ghostly echo of their decades-long journey through the Japanese rock landscape and beyond.
Visually, the MV pairs that kinetic sound with expressive imagery that feels slightly spectral yet grounded in performance, reinforcing how SCANDAL’s craft balances accessible hooks with subtle stylistic twists. With Girl is Ghost, the band continues to push their own boundaries while staying grounded in the earnest, melody-forward rock that has defined them since their debut.
