I feel like she's more conscious of her position as a leader. I think she looks pretty satisfied with that, something like "I'm really proud of you girls for composing an whole album by yourselves and I feel honored for being part of it as the main vocalist of us, singing the songs you wrote, these songs I love both listening to it and performing it". Maybe she feels granted, her leadership was very successful in all these 10 years of existence, and it's time to let the girls explode/expand their creativity, improve their skills as musicians and, of course, show the world what they can do. It's time for taking new heights. I mean, this is an incredible era for SCANDAL; her first 100% self-produced (maybe 75%, and the other 25% is for mixing and arranging?), we've been waiting for this since "BESTSCANDAL". We all know HARUNA can really write amazing songs and I really don't mind if I have to wait one more year to hear a song composed by her, like the masterpiece "Graduation" from "HELLO WORLD" (the reason why I decided to bought this album). I'd love to hear more of what TOMOMI, RINA and MAMI as "the songwriting team of SCANDAL" have to say to us... Oh, did I go too far? haha Sorry...But what a good time for being a SCANDAL fan! haha Seriously... The girls have done thus far. It's been an amazing journey... #feelingnostalgic
