Some of you maybe wondering why there is no sole blog entry published for SCANDAL's Haruna Ono and Rina Suzuki in here. Unlike what I did for Mami and Tomomi. Well in case you are not familiar with the beginnings of the Scandal magic Fb Fanpage and the history of my blogging, it was actually Haruna and Rina's article that were first published. But that was on a different blog site. And unfortunately that site can no longer be accessed due to some stupid actions I've accidentally did before. And basically I have lost all the data so I got frustrated and just continued with Mami and Tomomi.
Anyways, I'll end that longing of yours and will now start writing for Haruna's. I'll probably pull an all-nighter here to do some research. I honestly cannot recall a few information from way before since it has been a long time and the fact that I stopped with this fandom for a few years didn't help either. So this blog entry might become a recap and learning some more about them just like everyone else.
So let's deal first with the basic to start. This portion's info can be seen everywhere so nothing really surprising. I guess.
Instruments: Guitar & Lead Vocals
Birthday: August 10, 1988
Birthplace: Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Blood type: A
Height: 153cm
- She's a huge fan of Kpop, I can recall she loves TVXQ, KARA, SNSD, BIGBANG, SHINEE, and the list goes on.
- She likes SPEED and Amuro Namie. (I wonder what's her reaction when she learned about Amuro Namie's announcement regarding her retirement last year)
- As for the western music, she likes Justin Bieber, Jonas brothers, Michael Jackson.
- She came from a dance and vocal school
- Her eyesight is bad. It's something we're in common lol
- She was part of the movie Backdancers
- One of her most loved item is the ipod given by her mom.
- She has weird sleeping habit of having her body bent 90deg sideways in the car. 90deg? and sideways? lol Mami must have been exaggerating during that Melodix Interview.
sorry for the screencap quality since it is an old video of her.
RINA: Haruna's the big sister. When you talk to her privately she doesn't think of herself, so she's always there to help and be the peacemaker.
MAMI: She does things at her own pace, in a good way. For example, when we're eating lunch, she'll eat by herself, or when we've put away our instruments she'll instead take hers out. She works at her own pace.
TOMOMI: I've also spoken with her privately, and because she even listens at her own pace, it's comfortable to talk to her and she puts your mind at ease. That, and when she eats she looks like a hamster. The ways she chews is really cute, and she takes big mouthfuls.
--From Temptation Box Interview--
Now for my own my point of view:
It's no longer a secret that Haruna was my first ever bias in SCANDAL. Back then Haruna's appearance is so cute. Considering that she's small, she has big cheeks, hamster like teeth in front, and has long hair! While imagining this you'd probably reminisce the beginnings of SCANDAL.
Lol to be precise with my description on her looks from when I discovered her was like this:
Screengrab from Namida no Regret preview
Ain't she the cutest adorable young Haruna Ono?
Despite her small appearance and cute side, the moment she opens her mouth to sing you'll be blown away! I cannot recall if I've first seen Haruna Ono through Animax Musix or I've searched them through Fullmetal Alchemist opening song Shunkan Sentimental. Just either of the two I think. But daaamn! She's so amazing!
Before I thought I'll just love the frontman/vocalist but as I read, listen and watch more and more about them I got to really love all of them. It's pretty nice to be part of such a fandom before. I cannot tell if that will resume today onwards but you know they will forever be a huge part of my fandom life since everything started from them. From Haruna. lol

My favorite/memorable videos of Haruna. okay this would be a bit difficult since I need to track back my video collection of them. I'll try to find the exact same video on the internet so it would be less of a hassle. But if there's none then I'll just do screencap and explain.
1st memorable video: Music Japan MJ Dance with Perfume
We all know Haruna loves dancing and seeing her dancing from back then is very refreshing. Finally after being active as a Girls Rock band, Haruna can still enjoy dancing.
I'm speaking in the previous years I'm active in the scandal fandom. So do not misunderstand the timeline.
So while doing this blog entry, I'm looking back at the collection of videos,images, articles, I have saved in my external HD. At the same time looking for new stuff as well. So I was able to see this video on youtube that makes me lol. Just because seeing SCANDAL's reaction towards their old self actions/guesting on the same show. Hahaha!
2nd memorable video: Haruna's first ever group Super Tigers' My Generation PV
As mentioned in Haruna's facts, she was part of the movie BACKDANCERS. This music video of My generation is also part of the Backdancers' movie soundtrack. Together they are called as Super Tigers.
More Haruna dancing history! Love it!
3rd memorable video: 51st Japan Record Awards
Year 2009, SCANDAL was nominated in the category of Best New Artist together with Bigbang, Maya Sakura, and Hilchryme. SCANDAL had a side by side interview with Bigbang before their performances/face-off.
However in the end SCANDAL lost to BIGBANG in which I feel like it's my first heartbreak back then for this band. I despised Bigbang because of it. But looking at the bright side I just think that this event is prestige in Japan so being able to be nominated is a big recognition already.
I wonder what Haruna felt at that moment. Fangirling deep inside but sad at the end? Ugh I can't take it anymore. lol No matter how painful it is to see them lost in the end this is memorable for me not just for Haruna but for the whole band.
Sorry I can't reupload the vid of this yet. But I'll try to when I have much time.
4th memorable video: The first ever Birthday tribute I made for Haruna!
Can you see my dedication to this fandom back then? Come to think of it I was still studying when I made this video for Haruna. SCANDAL is first before studies right? lol Nah they've been pretty much one of my inspiration back then!
Next is the PHOTO SECTION! Woot! I'll post here a few from the collection I have saved from way back and probably a few new pics as well. SCANDAL has their own Twitter,Instagram and facebook already so you all know where to find the latest ones always.
Kid Haruna first!
Haruna with glasses is double kill!
Random photos!
Also earlier as I browse modelpress website,I saw that Haruna released her photobook called Somewhere. And looking at her hair I think it's the shortest length I've seen on her? Hmmm
Latest photos from her twitter/ instagram/facebook:
Waaa seeing Haruna again after a long time makes me wanna cry. lol But seriously I've missed this. It's been a long time where have I been.
Gosh! I'm loving her short hair! She still looked so gorgeous and way cooler. I take back what I said that I like her hair longer like before. lol Either way I've concluded now that anything fits her. *cries
She looked really great! I do not regret spending a lot of time in order to create this blog entry. It's nice to see and hear Haruna and the whole SCANDAL band again.
No wonder I haven't seen these new pictures coz I found out I'm not following her on instagram!!! Why?! How?! Nooo! But it's better late than never right?
