Shiina Ringo question

Keishi · #1 19th July 2006, 05:53 AM

I'm just new to this artist and I thought of asking some things about her.

+After Ringo no Uta, is she still singing solo or fully joined in Tokyo Jihen?

+Does Ringo no Uta PV costumes was modeled after her past singles? Coz I see Honnou outfit & Stem outfit in that, and I was wondering if there's other.
Pictures from her PV/Cover could be helpful for my references.

Thanks in advance

Yes, she is in Tokyo Jihen full time now, they've got a new concert DVD coming out soon~

and Yes again, the costumes are all based from past singles although off the top of my head I can't think of all of them. I think it might be all of them considering she's only got like 8.

yeah, Ringo No Uta was her ending single. It doesnt have her outfits from all of her PV's though, just her famous ones (coughthesinglescough).

It's really a shame cuz I don't really like Tokyo Jihen's sound, yet I loved most of Ringo's solo work.

They're modelled off her costumes from her PVs. Although not every PV's costume was featured in 'Ringo no uta', eg. 'IDENTITY', 'Yamini furu ame', 'Meisai' etc.

The one with the sailor outfit with the wings is from 'Koufukuron', which I don't have capped.

From left to right according to the above image:
Kabukichou no Joou, Mayonaka wa junketsu, GIBISU, Koko de Kiss Shite, Ringo no uta, Honnou, yattsuke shigoto (live version, from Zecchoshu), kuki~STEM~Daimyou asobi hen, Tsumi to Batsu

Don't think I've left any out, do ask if I have. Just search the PVs on youtube if you want to see the original.

A rock version of Stem?

Yattsuke Shigoto has a rock version, actually Yattsuke Shigoto was original rock and performed live on ZCS but was redone on KSK.

Onaji Yoru and Sid to Hakuchuumu were redone into more acustic versions. Sid to Hakuchuumu in paticular was more broadway like.

The demo version of Sigma was more lounge like but was later changed to a (in my opinion) better fitting rock beat.

Ringo no Uta was also redone into a more rock based song. I believe it was more of a transition. Ringo was keeping "Ringo" but the personality of Ringo had changed and moved on.

About the rock version of 'stem', it's on 'Karuki, Zamen, Kuri no hana'. It's the same as the one on the CASSHERN album, only in Japanese.

Keishi · #9 21st July 2006, 11:53 AM

I heard it's available in the Vinyl of KSK?

The Rock version of STEM (Kalk) was released on all versions of KSK (I think). And it isn't really THAT rock either, just the last verse.

If you didn't know already, Ringo likes to do multiple versions of the same tracks and release them on different discs.

^Geez that could sprout out a lot of confusion. Rofl.

Last question, How many version of Ringo no Uta video? I heard there is three but I only have two. And is there any particular naming for each version?

PSYCHEDELICOdust · #12 23rd July 2006, 06:45 AM

There's an NHK Kids Version that's kinda creepy. I've got it at home, but I'm at my Grandma's <_<;

~K+ · #13 23rd July 2006, 07:33 AM

I never knew there was a NHK version, thanks for letting me know Aaron. Luckily it's on youtube, it's wacky!

Keishi · #14 23rd July 2006, 07:35 AM

Rofl. Can I ask for the link? How creepy was it?

Someone please upload this video XD

ROFL
that was the funniest video I've ever seen

Too bad they didn't draw her mole on the apple gal.

hallelujah_united · #18 23rd July 2006, 04:18 PM

The song is definitely not something you'd want your kids to learn from though...But the PV was cute to say the least!

Keishi · #19 24th July 2006, 01:12 PM

The song is about someone's amnesia, wasn't it? Or not? Hahaha.

Wait, was Tsumigi Asobi & Yattsuke Shigoto included in any single before its release on the album? If it isn't why does it exists in Ringo no Uta PV? Just wondering...

Hazuki · #20 24th July 2006, 06:47 PM

Yeah, the song was Shiina forgetting her name

That apple is scary T___T

Is it sad that seasons leave in silence?

Please, wipe your tears and raise your heads
Look, I will try to create a fruit myself
I will add honey to the flavour of Winter and deliver it to you

What I long to be is a human being
It must be lovely to do things like crying and laughing

But I see that now you have found a name for me
You are really right, it will be "Apple"
I have created a delicious fruit and I will deliver it to you every year
Please appreciate
My sinful fruit
