Yeah, I guess. I only skimmed that review but it sounds like the album is self-covers.

Shiina Ringo actually died several years ago, but an incredible Japanese AI experiment has taken her place, producing almost believable imitations of her songwriting.

I blabbed on to a 90s music Podcast called Dig Me Out about Shōzo Strip this week, I'm a Patreon subscriber and I got to pick a rekkid, so I picked that.

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!

apparently still not available in usa at all though, weird

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!

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

Before the advent of phone-enabled Streaming Shiina I had never given that one a real earbud listen to notice all the rompy hard panning.
Wikipedia notes that the vacuum cleaner belonged to Shiina's sister in law.

<a href="https://aramajapan.com/news/shiina-ringo-announces-new-album-sandokushi/97082/">‘Sandokushi‘- a play on the Buddhist term ‘Sandoku’ referring to three poisons that poison the heart of man (desire, ill will, and ignorance), the ‘Shi’ meaning ‘history’.</a>
welp. the fear was always that when she finally made another truly strange solo record, it'd still be Vegas at heart. behold the cover of the new album if you dare, it is too late for me, but why stop the abasement now, together through life, it's going to be wonderful owning a physical copy of this etc & yes her Coke jingle is on the album

great to have a new album on the way from her at last. i thought Sunny was pretty solid so i'm optimistic enough about a new album from her, and those two new tracks are a lot weirder than i was expecting from her at this point in her career.
― ufo, Saturday, 4 May 2019 01:10 (five years ago) link
Those both sound promising, getting Jun Togawa top-notes from that second track especially.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 4 May 2019 11:57 (five years ago) link
Is there anyway I can buy that album digitally / legitimately without spending money on an import? I know it's on Spotify - which is kind of amazing as it is - but not my preferred method of listening.
― Nhex, Sunday, 14 July 2019 23:07 (four years ago) link
all her stuff is on iTunes and Google Play, though using her official romanisation 'Sheena Ringo'
― ufo, Monday, 15 July 2019 00:07 (four years ago) link
the album is decent enough too, though about half of it compiles her singles from the past 5 years and those are largely less interesting than the new material. not really close to the peak of her first decade of output but i'm certainly happy enough with it
― ufo, Monday, 15 July 2019 00:20 (four years ago) link
I had no idea her albums were on Spotify so I went and checked out Shouso Strip (I've only owned KZK for years). I like it - not as much as KZK, but I can see how it plants the seeds for that album. The two opening tracks are awesome, especially "Kyogen-shou," which is probably now my favorite song of hers! I feel like I'm on such a journey listening to it. Some stuff on there like "Gibs" is a little conventional but the personality she puts into the vocal still makes it stand out
― Vinnie, Monday, 15 July 2019 02:50 (four years ago) link
all her solo work was put on streaming internationally last year to celebrate her career's 20th anniversary iirc. Muzai Moratorium is absolutely worth a listen too. idk how much Tokyo Incidents stuff is available on streaming internationally (it's available here in Australia but i'm not sure about the USA) but their first two albums are essential, especially Adult.
― ufo, Monday, 15 July 2019 03:13 (four years ago) link
The last couple months I was only listening to Shina Ringo pre-Tokyo Jihen (including b-sides). Every song grows on you. I don’t have it in me to complain about any song from that period.
― ilm jive mind (FlopsyDuck), Monday, 15 July 2019 03:53 (four years ago) link
Tokyo Jihen is available where I am (Vietnam) under Tokyo Incidents. I listened to Adult looong ago and didn't really care for it but I might give it another listen now
― Vinnie, Monday, 15 July 2019 08:03 (four years ago) link
Try 'Variety' also, it's ace.

can't go too wrong with anything up until the end of Jihen imo. maybe that singles collection she did early in her solo career and the double cover album are patchy but still have good stuff.
sadly on both US iTunes and Play they only have two albums - the single for Koufukeron from '98 and something called "Saihate Ga Mitai -Donde Quiere Estar Mi Alma Viajero-"?
