The Official Shiina Ringo Thread
Just because she deserves it. For all your Ringo/Tokyo Jihen related news, chit-chat, and what not. Let the games begin.
I'll just start off with a random cool picture. Note: I didn't call this 'The Official Tokyo Jihen Thread' for a reason, if you're wondering - this thread is for everything Ringo: her old solo works, Tokyo Jihen, and whatever the future will bring.

I have a similar picture of aiko in mind when I look at that...
I heard/saw STEM for the first time today, and wow!! I was blown away. I've heard the Shouso Strip album and Memai, so this song makes me want more! What album is STEM from? *Hopes it's the 3rd one with Memai* Last edited by BanFan; 14th March 2005 at 12:55 AM. |

"memai"? Since when did Ringo have a song called "memai". Or do you mean "meisai"? O_O
If so, then yes, "meisai" and "kuuki" ("STEM", re-arranged and re-performed) are both on "karuki zaamen kuri no hana". I'm not through digesting the album yet, there's a lot (and I mean A LOT) of stuff in there. =) Yay, Ringo thread! And she looks more badass on the drums than aiko. She also plays the piano, guitar and the violin - not too sure about the last one though, but I see her posing with it in the "utaite myouri" booklet, so I think she does. She's a very accomplished musician, and a very creative person. =) |

She does have a song called 'memai', it's a b-side I believe, and it's fantastic! (As are most of her B-sides really) 'memai' is one of my favourites and the second song I heard from Shiina I believe.
And I want "Karuki zaamen kuri no hana"! Can't find it for a reasonable price... I simply adore the single version of STEM, I must get it once I get a job and before yesasia lists it as temporarily out of stock. Seeing as BanFan said heard/saw, you must be talking about 'kuki~STEM~Daimyou asobi hen~', that version is only available on the said single. And she plays alot of things...o_o |

Yup, they're definitely some old ones. I'll try and find some more info on them though, 'd love to know what they're all about. A recording session I'm sure, but which I wouldn't know exactly. Definitely around 2000 or so I'd guess.

yay a shiina thread!!! omg i wanna buy karuki zamen kuri no hana!!! u guys convinced me lol. i read some article saying it was completely shocking and off the wall, totally didnt make sense. and that her first 2 albums were so conservative compared to that crazy one lol. so i cant wait to hear it, i love it when ringo is shocking. i keep discovering songs on shouso strip, like i had the album for a month or so then i found myself listening to yokushitsu 5 times a day, then it was sakana, yami ni furu ame, tsumi to batsu and now honnou cant get enuf

It took me so much effort to find 'Shouso Strip' when I was in Hong Kong, only one CD store out of the dozens I've been to have it! I should've gotten her first album from that store as well as the GIBISU single I saw in the 2nd hand store though...

And natalaxie, yes, Karuki Zamen Kuri No Hana is very 'avant-garde', you could say. Here's what music*****.org said about it: Quote:

My bad, I never knew Ringo had a song called "memai" on the "koko de KISS shite" single. I'm very sorry. m(_ _)m
The only singles of hers I've ever listened to are "mayonaka wa junketsu", "STEM ~daimyou asobi-hen~" and "ringo no uta". Maybe I should go look for more Ringo singles. =X I loved music*****.org's review of "KZK". =) I think the "STEM" single is out of print, neowing.co.jp lists it as OOP. Towerrecords.co.jp and HMV.co.jp still have the normal press though, maybe it's whatever they have left in stock. I want Ringo-hime's first two albums! I think the extended OBI for the OS for "muzai MORATORIUM" looks ugly. =X OT, but it's damn anal how most online pages have already subsumed Ringo under Jihen, so you can't key in romanji to look at her discography. Tower Records annoyed me that way. |

I must say, it was quite good though!

I was going to upload "memai" for you all, but it seems umm...I've lost it along with "Ichijiku no Hana"............
Could I request for those along with her cover of Janis Ian's "At seveteen", "17" on the Tsumi no batsu single? I've heard a cover of that song from a HK indie group and am interested in Shiina's version. Anyway...I was always under the impression I have 'memai' backed up somewhere, but it seems I didn't. So I uploaded some other B-sides instead. Click here Cheers! Edit: Is there a first press for 'Tsumi to batsu' and 'GIBISU' with a different cover or something? Because I read a CD Review on these two singles back when they were released in a magazine, and the picture shown weren't the ones normally listed in CDJapan, yesasia, HMV and Oricon. The GIBISU picture was a knife cutting into a wrist (no blood), with the other hand holding an apple. The Tsumi to batsu one was her in the red suit sitting in the sliced open car with her hands covering her mouth. Last edited by ~K+; 15th March 2005 at 05:45 AM. |
