Too bad the discart for Shouso looks kinda tacky though...

Assuming you brought the Jpn version for Shouso, is the paper the cover is printed on matte and grainy?

Oh you know me so well.

Not grainy. lol, I wish it was on the paper that like, Hikki's are done in. And Shuraba for that matter.

Umm, maybe grainy isn't the right word, I meant the paper that the inner pages of the KZK booklet was printed in.

By Hikki ones, you mean those high gloss ones? I love those too.

Yeah, same paper as KZK. And by Hikki ones, yes the high gloss ones. LOL

Woah, I just got into Shiina Ringo within the past two days and I think she's amazing! Pure gold, really. So far my favorites include: Meisai, Doppelganger, Shuukyou, and Yattsuke Shigoto. I can't wait to explore her more and Tokyo Jihen:yes

I got KSK for Christmas. Amazing album, music and packaging-wise. She really did a lot of the music production for it. I'm so glad I got it. The end of the last track is really freaky.

I can't possibly give it a rating. It's that incredible.

Some updated info yo. Definately digging the cover, and I like the Ltd Ed. one better.

Pretty cool cover. I wonder how's the scent for the ADULT Pour Homme. Thanks for the update ~K+

I know this may sound dumb but why did Shiina remove her mole? And btw this is my first time seeing this thread.

Just noticed the new album on YesAsia the other day - thanks for the tracklists and everything, ~K+. Really looking forward to this one. Ltd. version looks very interesting, I might get that one. The cover reminds me of some coverart by a Dutch band called Relax, by the way:

Excellent cover though, looks brilliant.

It's something like changing identities from Shiina Ringo solo, to Shiina Ringo in a band. I'm sure ~K+, sxesven or someone who knows her better can clarify this or correct me.

In other news, I can't stop listening to 'Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana', it's so good! o_o;

Sorry for the stupid question, but does the regular version of "Adult" come with a perfume too? I thought only the limited edition version does, but someone on the Ringo Jihen forum said that there were two different versions of the perfume. Can anyone clarify?

New Tokyo Jihen PV 'Kenka Joutou' premiered in Japan today.
It's track two of the new album. I can't wait to see it. ^-^

PV just came out on JPS =D

Don't think the normal edition comes with Perfume, hadn't heard about that o_o

The new album comes with a perfume? interesting i want it!

I know what u mean.

Now I know Xinlisupreme is an odd band, being familiar with their music. I just noticed the following image on their website though:

Like, huh? I'm not sure why it's there. Maybe they like Tokyo Jihen, or whatever - but it's just plain weird, lol.

They also have Aya Ueto on their website for some reason, haha.
