Dorothy had silver shoes in The Wizard of Oz. I don't recall if Baum gave Dorothy a hair color, and the pig man could be connected to a later Oz book, I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like I've heard it before

I'm reviving this thread.

I noticed that Chihiro's lyrics often refer to her legs. Why do you think that is?

Yeah sure, here's ones I know about that make me think of legs:

"Though my legs make a clangor,
as I’m unable to run from the darkness" - イノセンス

"Even with the weight of the lead attached to both my feet, I’ll try and stand" - BACK DOOR

"All alone, these legs of mine become a mermaid’s tail" - ROLLIN'

"My legs are cramped, but
Pretending not to notice, I go on" - infection

"No matter how I trip on the stairs
No matter how I get lost, I can still say that
“Though it’s these legs, they should be able to walk”" Rebel Luck

"Gradually, I’ll be able to stand up again
I’ll be able to stand up" - Angelina

"Mr. Tech says, “I offer you solid artificial legs”
But those cannot run fast – praise my clever lips" - Beautiful Fighter

----
It seems that they're focused in the first part of her career.

Hmm...Well I can't give a valid reason why she references them quite a bit. Sorry.

It's okay, I just thought that I'd throw it out in the open for some theories. XD

Hm, well, referencing one's legs or standing usually is referencing strength, will, etc. So maybe she writes all that as an outlet of her thoughts about those types of things; specifically, something like, 'I can do this,' or, 'I am able,' etc., etc.? Like, maybe that's her biggest outlook on life. Or.... Maybe it's just a coincidence--maybe she just likes to write about that, even if it's not personal to her..... Orrr... Maybe it's all a coincidence in general, hah.

I suppose that it IS possible that you're right. She's said that her lyrics now aren't about her but more stories from "her world". So it's quite interesting that these lyrics are taken from her earlier career, under EMI-Japan.

I have foot fetish, Chihiro has a leg fetish. I think it's a perfect match.


Spoiler:
I really don't have a foot fetish, don't worry.

Well, I presume she's doing her tried and tested routine of laying low until she's written some more material, do you go on the website Frozen Call? It's really interesting and the Japanese webmaster updates with the latest news in English.

What do you want from her next single?

^ I've gone to that site a few time. It's very interesting!

I want another song like Rasen or Dining Chicken tbh. Those songs were amazing. Or another Last Melody, since I adore the piano in that song <3

I would kill for another Borderline or SHINE (well, the ultimate collection version, I mean--funny, I don't really like the original at all, but the new version is AMAZING)!! They're both such powerful, kinda dark sounding songs, and with beautiful piano.

Okay, so, wait... The only time SHINE is all poppy and non-piano is the single version....? In other words, it's the piano version on both the best and the original album...?? If so, that's awesome, because it's definitely the better version!! Just, I've downloaded INSOMNIA a few times now, and it's always had the non-piano version as "SHINE [album version]"... And, if the piano one is actually the album version, that makes so much more sense, lol. Because it's an "album version" in the ultimate collection, too, so that confused me......And I'm confusing myself about all this now, so I'll just wait for your answer. XD

SHINE is the upbeat one. SHINE (album version) is the haunting piano.

BACK DOOR is the upbeat one. BACK DOOR (album version) is the piano one.

SHINE = Only on Single or SINGLES 2000-2003
SHINE (album version) = Only on INSOMNIA or the ultimate collection
BACK DOOR = Only on single
BACK DOOR (album version) = Only on INSOMNIA and the ultimate collection

Okay, that's how I thought the "album versions" were supposed to work, but every SHINE "album version" I've gotten off of INSOMNIA downloads have been wrong, then! >.< Funny enough, the BACK DOOR ones have been right, which made it even more confusing for me... Glad that's sorted out now, lol. XD

So yes.... SHINE = super-meh, SHINE [album version] =
...!

Haha that's good! I have the album so I'm happy <3 The download on Japanese Music Dream has the correct SHINE track though...Anyway, How did we all get into Chihiro?

I got into Chihiro after watching a comedian make fun of Gekkou. I just had to hear the original song after watching the comedian and I fell in love<3
