Bigtop · #**168** 12th March 2011, 02:06 AM

Is she okay from the earthquake? We hope so, as she may have been aware of it when the time came...

Beauty4123 · #**169** 29th September 2011, 06:07 PM

it's gonna be the theme song to her new drama. it's produced, composed, and written by Shiina Ringo again. but does anyone know the song title? i don't know when the release date is, either.

Bigtop · #**170** 29th September 2011, 11:03 PM

Man...over six months we haven't talked about her???

Beauty4123 · #**171** 30th September 2011, 03:31 AM

okay, so the single is titled "月夜の肖像" (Tsukiyo no Shouzou) and it'll be released on 11/23.

the song is not bad...very dark...
but i think she struggle quiet a lot to sing it, even in this studio version, she already struggle..hard song to sing

bondingo · #**173** 30th September 2011, 07:41 AM

Wow, I'm definitely liking the new song. I'm also really happy she didn't get dropped because of poor sales

*sigh*

I really liked her when she first debuted with "Ryuusei no Namida" and even when she started changing styles with "Kanousei Girl" but now... I don't know what she's doing besides coming off as a Ringo Shiina music clone. :/

I'm not hating on her or anything, or even wanting her to be something that she's not, but it's just such a personal disappointment to me that she's trying to develop herself as a "serious rock artist" when she could've been a such a breath of fresh air with a more pop-oriented image and sound.

And I really don't know how seriously she's taken in Japan but in the majority of JPop forums I've visited they all refer to her music as "so bad it's good" which I don't think is flattering at all.

Anyways I've been losing track of her since early in the year, way too much focused on miwa and Sayuri Sugawara for me...

And I do agree about the Shiina Ringo clone "conspiracy"...

But the cover...it looks nice! Or is it just me...?

Single lol

Chiaki is re-issuing CIRCUS on 1/11...Seems that they only new things is that the entire "Tsukiyo no Shouzou" will be added, there'll be a new art cover and Tsukiyo no Shouzou's PV will be on the DVD.

Says also that's she's working on her second stage (which I'm guessing is a new era) starting in March

FIRSTKLAS · #**179** 1st December 2011, 01:55 AM

Maybe "栗山千明" is over and she'll bring back "CHiAKi KURiYAMA"?

I hope this "deluxe edition" thing doesn't become a trend and Japan's way of repackaging albums like KPop does. If it's profitable, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony tries it with some of their other artists. :/

^they will do the same for Kana Nishino, is official ToT
