  • Rock Band SCANDAL Writes ‘Line of Sight,’ Theme Song for Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base LINXTAGE

    28.January.2023 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC

    On February 22, the popular rock band SCANDAL will release the documentary MIRROR on Blu-ray and DVD. In April, the artists will embark on the SCANDAL TOUR 2023 – Unlimited UTOPIA, performing in seven cities across Japan.

     

    The new song Line of Sight was written by the band to serve as the theme song for the arcade card game Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base LINXTAGE, scheduled to release in late February. Read SCANDAL’s comment below!

     

    Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base LINXTAGE〈LINXTAGE SEASON:01〉PV


    “We’re pleased to announce that we’ve been put in charge of the theme song for Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base LINXTAGE.
    This summer, SCANDAL will celebrate our 17th anniversary. What a great time to get this incredible offer!
    We met with the team behind Arsenal Base and shared our thoughts and feelings before starting production on the song.
    In the game, music is played during battle scenes, where players’ emotions are heightened. Considering that, we wrote a fast-paced, danceable track.
    In the end, we combined our own thoughts and feelings with the world of Gundam. Be sure to listen to the lyrics closely!
    Please enjoy our music as you play Arsenal Base!

    Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base is a real-time strategy arcade card game in which players take on the role of a commander in control of five mobile suits and five pilots fighting to destroy a collection of enemy battleships. Found in many arcades across Japan, players place pilot cards on the terminal in dedicated boxes. The terminal then reads a QR code on each card. The series will soon introduce tons of new content including the LINXTAGE BATTLE system, in which two players can enter battle at the same time. Be sure to listen to a snippet of Line of Sight in the new PV!

    OIRAN
    An Oiran was a high-ranking courtesan in Japanese history. In this work, goldfish are surrounded by beautiful and enchanting features inspired by these gorgeous women.


    MANGEKYO

    Mangekyo is the Japanese word for kaleidoscope. This collaborative work invites viewers into a unique space filled with paintings by Tsuyoshi Nigamushi along with disco balls. You’ll want to snap some trippy pictures!



    YURAKU
    This special exhibition invites guests to experience virtual goldfish scooping and fortune-telling. Made using modern technology in a space inspired by Japan’s four seasons, yuraku means pleasure in Japanese.


    RYUGU

    Ryuugu refers to the Palace of the Dragon King found in the ancient tale of Urashima Taro. 

    This spatial work will utilize the sea around Odaiba and transport visitors to another place and time.

     


    Come enjoy these five unique spaces with your five senses and become more acquainted with traditional Japanese beauty.
