I stopped following this group a decade ago so I don't recognize any of the members except Yukirin. Who is apparently 32 years old!

Thank you for the Youplus breakup live.
Many things have happened, but I am filled with gratitude for all the fans who came to support us and see us today.
I was very happy to be able to get to know everyone even better at Youplus, and to be able to perform on the most enjoyable stage!

You are really kind and warm and saved me a lot

Congrats to SCANDAL!

But does this record only apply to current lineups of current bands? Or is a band out of the running if they had any personnel changes before or after the long stretch with the same lineup? If not, Shonen Knife's original lineup should still have SCANDAL beat for at least a few more weeks. Naoko, Atsuko, and Michie were together from 30 December 1981 until Michie’s departure sometime in February 1999.

EDIT: TsuShiMaMiRe’s original lineup was together for at least 17 years, as well: from sometime in 1999 until Mizue left in January 2017.
