I thought you'd be posting last night's NYE TV Tokyo Jihen reunion. Cheesy even for her, still watched it.

How many reunion concerts will there be? Probably many.
I didn't know about it. How did you watch it? Online or through some cable/satelite channel?

it was only this one song, the single from that 2014 comp of her versions of the songs she'd written for other pop stars. the entire song is on youtube as well, but they made the image tiny to evade the bot police, so you can't really see the dancers' expressions (ayabambi were the dancers on her 2014 tour, before madonna bit them)

The Tokyo skyline looks so beautiful it almost makes me want to cry. (I'm pretty emotionally hair-trigger at the moment, however.)
But yes, I could do with less Vegas in her newer performances or however you want to describe it.

These are pretty fun, especially the one on the right:

Kind of like it. Also some sort of Ringo Blue Ray/DVD due out in May.

Also, this Doughnuts Hole thing is pretty good (better than the one above, I think):

At work and can't really check for full version if it's out there.

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?
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 17 April 2017 02:31 (seven years ago) link
The first video is kind of Irohanihoheto meets Killer Tune, meets the usual partial disrobing.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 17 April 2017 16:32 (seven years ago) link
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCSWWuWholYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeaanErN-bs
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.

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.

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 (six 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 (six 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 (six years ago) link

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

More theme music apparently.

... 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
