On Tuesday, January 17, TBS will debut it’s new drama “Quartet“, which will feature a brand new theme song penned by Shiina Ringo. As is common with Ringo nowadays, it has once again been given to another artist, however, more interestingly, this artist is a ‘limited unit’ just for the show called “Doughnuts Hole“. The group consists of members Takako Matsu, Mitsushima Hikari, Issei Takahaski and Ryuuhei Matsuda. The song “Otono no Okite” is arranged by Ringo and Saito Neko and features players HZM, Saito Neko Quartet, Yuya Tamura and Uni Inoue. Read further to see promotional images of Doughnuts Hole and trailer for “Quartet”.

I'm probably just desperate for a new Ringo fix. I think maybe I like the first collaboration better after all. Is there more to the second song or is that really it in its complete form?

The first video is kind of Irohanihoheto meets Killer Tune, meets the usual partial disrobing.

She loves metronomes.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 17 April 2017 21:42 (seven years ago) link
I like both! I have a lot of time for Shiina Ringo but not everything she does appeals to me, so this is good news.

happened across some clips of the 2015 one-off 'Mangarama' show. cool to see Uki & HZM in the same lineup & good on the KZK/Shoso songs.

lots of clips of the 2014 and expo 08 shows currently up as well. fairly vegas, but never completely, given her cobwebbed antlers and all

Oh shit. Just checking these out now. First one is pretty good so far.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 19:47 (seven years ago) link
Like good good, not "well kinda nice to hear from her and it's not that bad" except I'm not into this guy talking so much as part of the song. But check it out. I think you are going to like it.

Maybe I will replace my TV.

I'm being self-indulgent today and have earbuds in. Very caught up on work at the moment. Perfect timing. Need to hear that again, now. I guess that was Soil & Pimp? I don't know their names. Maybe not. Bit of a Jihen presence as well. The usual.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link
But better than the usual has been.
A true giant.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 19:52 (seven years ago) link
Maybe this is an old song? I don't recognize it, but I'm sure I've lost track of some of her projects here and there at this point.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 19:58 (seven years ago) link
Whoa.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 20:03 (seven years ago) link
Oh wait, so this is from the Mangarama show Milton mentioned?
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link
Ukigumo looking rather Frippish (if not sounding it).
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 20:14 (seven years ago) link
I like the first two videos the best, from that link above. I overreacted as usual. It's still current Shiina performance-wise, but that first one especially is exceptional.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 20:31 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, don't miss:

Still watching that last video.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 4 May 2017 04:34 (seven years ago) link
It gets kind of pseudo- Kuki Electric Mole version for a few seconds, somehow.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 4 May 2017 04:38 (seven years ago) link
Her little dance is actually pretty good, no?
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 4 May 2017 05:11 (seven years ago) link
haha yes. what is that song from? is it new?
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 01:06 (seven years ago) link
New jazz arrangement of Netsuai Hakkakuchu. Much much better than the studio Nakata-produced single from a few years ago.
― Milton Parker, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 08:03 (seven years ago) link
looking that up and realized there was a second Shiina album of self-covers that she wrote for other people...
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 08:58 (seven years ago) link

New?
Not bad for this sort of thing.
New album? Nobody is keeping me up to date.

― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 23:07 (six years ago) link
More theme music apparently.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 23:11 (six years ago) link
... another self-cover album?
― Nhex, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 23:15 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I guess. I only skimmed that review but it sounds like the album is self-covers.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 23:17 (six years ago) link
Shiina Ringo actually died several years ago, but an incredible Japanese AI experiment has taken her place, producing almost believable imitations of her songwriting.
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 23:29 (six years ago) link
just thinking about how perfect this song is today

they're there as 'Tokyo Incidents' at least in Australia? a few of their albums had been on there for a while but it looks like they're all there now!
― ufo, Monday, 28 May 2018 03:48 (five years ago) link
apparently still not available in usa at all though, weird
― ufo, Monday, 28 May 2018 04:20 (five years ago) link
Try Sheena Ringo?

it's so great to be able to finally hear all of her stuff i've never bothered to track down (all the non-album stuff)
― ufo, Monday, 28 May 2018 12:23 (five years ago) link
I guess Spotify don't romanize
― mick signals, Monday, 28 May 2018 15:34 (five years ago) link
hmm interestingly on the digital version of Kalk Samen Chestnut Flower there's an extra 20 seconds to As You Wish and it doesn't crossfade into the drone that starts Consciously
― ufo, Monday, 28 May 2018 17:03 (five years ago) link
Yeah, there's two versions of the record out there, I'm guessing one was perhaps banded for radio and the song lengths got changed as a result.
― MaresNest, Monday, 28 May 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link
i figure that crossfade was to get the 44:44 run time on that version?
― ufo, Monday, 28 May 2018 17:20 (five years ago) link
Yeah definitely!
― MaresNest, Monday, 28 May 2018 17:22 (five years ago) link
listened to Ze-Chyou Syuu and Heisei Fuuzoku for the first time, both are great. Gamble which is on both of them is especially fantastic. love the rearranged jazz versions on Heisei Fuuzoku too
