MELLSCOPE is the first studio album from the I've Sound singer, Mell, released on August 20, 2008. The album contains four new songs, two old songs from an eroge, two remixed old songs (including a remix of her first song with I've Sound), and four songs from her first three released singles, namely "Red fraction", "Proof/no vain", and "Virgin's high!/kicks!".

The album comes in a limited or CD+DVD edition (GNCV-1005) and a regular or CD-only edition (GNCV-1006). The DVD will contain the PV for "SCOPE" and alternative PVs for "no vain" and "kicks!".
