Christmas and my two Shiina Ringo CDs seem so far away...*sigh*

I've been listening to 'Mesai' and 'GIBS' constantly on J-fan. ^-^'

I decided to get my first Shiina Ringo/Tokyo Jihen CD: Sonan! :)

I watched the live and fell in love with the song all over again. Along with this CD, I'm getting hitomi's self portrait and Road of Major's 2nd Album CD+DVD (Christmas present for my twin), both OS. :D

Nice choice, although I'd of gone for Gunjou for the Lady is a tramp cover. I've got both anyways.


(ROAD OF MAJOR <3)

I thought "Kyouiku" by Tokyo Jihen was not matched with the three original albums by Shiina Ringo. But I've listened to it again recently and changed my mind. "Kyouiku" is a well-made, excellent album containing four or five really fascinating songs. And Ringo even wrote excellent English lyrics herself in this album -- "Genjitsu o warau". I suppose this song will make a smash hit in English-speaking countries, if it's sold there as a single. How talented she is !

I agree with you! Genjitsu o warau is excellent! Although I still believe that her other three albums are slightly better, I must say Kyouiku is a well-made album.

Okay, I uploaded 13 --- Mado again. Please someone tell me the original title of this song.

Mado is the title I gave it right? when you downaloded it off that one thread? I had title corrections on there =x but the song is kageriyuku heya

Oh, thank you so much! I've got all the information I wanted AT LAST!

Shiina Ringo - Kageriyuku Heya
DEAR YUMING
1999

Now, I can die peacefully...

Anyone hear the new single yet, for jihen? I saw the cover art, it was great =)

The cover art rules. I haven't heard a preview yet though, find one around?

The new cover is hot as always, but one thing that's OMG-worthy. She's using English on the cover for the name of their band! She almost always sticks to Japanese.

For those who haven't seen it:

Yup, looks excellent--like it a lot! And indeed, quite OMG-worthy, the use of Tokyo Incidents on the cover.

OMG!

Haven't heard it yet though, is it any good?

I'm getting a little LiT vibe from the cover with that hotel bed. :P

Previews should be out soon, so wait a little longer. =)

And Happii, thanks for uploading "kageriyuku heya". I wanted to hear this cover for the longest time ever.

You're welcome!

Shuraba's a great song. Really like the bridge.

The video....I'm not fond of them in all white, although I suppose its a good contrast to the last 'intro' video, Gunjou.

I like Ringo with short hair ._.

Spot on! :P Although of course nowhere near as genius as anything Lost In Translation. :evillaugh

ah, thanks for sharing! i like seeing english on there, i'm always SO confused on the name of the band.

any info on the tracklist?

From The Tokyo Incidents.

Thanks sxesven!!! sounds like its worth purchasing to me. :D
