Yesterday Bokura no ongaku Our Music was broadcast.
The guest is ugly Japanese male rocker,Mukai Shutoku(ex-Number Girl),and I like him.
Ringo was also there as a guest since she respects him a lot and talked with him and sang there.
I could watch only one scene of Mukai yesterday.
Next week guests are Ryuichi Sakamoto and Japanese actress,Takako Tokiwa.

*Really needs to buy the Tokyo Jihen album and some Shiina Ringo singles (Gips, Stem & Mayonaka Wa Junketsu ) and albums...*

*Steals sxesven's collection* So...much...o-o;

Next time I'm in LA (Probably August 10th), I'm going to pick up any Shiina Ringo singles I can find at 2nd hand/cheaper stores, and maybe 1 album (Probably her 3rd original one) at Kinokuniya.

I don't have a single Shiina Ringo item (Or mp3 because pirated mp3s=ebil)!!

Thanks for the news! Always glad to hear updates on our beloved Ringo-chan.

BanFan, good luck in finding some Ringo stuff, hope you'll be able to pick up some!

Here's the song that Mukai Shutoku and Shiina Ringo sang together on Bokura no Ongaku 2:

Thanks BigJimmyC for uploading Shiina Ringo's albums, I listened to the first half of 'Karuki Zaamen Kuri No Hana'. Wow. Getting to listen to the second half of it this Christmas will be quite nice, since that first half was amazing. ^-^

How are the pictures in it? I've seen the front and back thanks to J-pop Help, so I assume the inside is just as good.

The last track Souretsu is amazing. As for the booklet it's pretty thick, it's got pictures of some of her electric guitars and various other interesting instruments she used in the album. And of course, pictures of her in the 2 costumes featured on the album poster.

Homanz, Dynamite Out is orgasmic.

sxesven · #**108** 13th September 2005, 11:12 PM

Apparently Shiina is now dating Hirama! WTFz0rz!

~K+ · #**109** 14th September 2005, 01:37 AM

Whoa! Say, can someone post a picture of the TJ members with their names attached, I still don't know who is who...

Isthan · #**110** 15th September 2005, 02:41 PM

Yay for Shiina Ringo!
Meisai, Ringo no Uta, Kuki, Shuukyou, Tsumiki Asobi, Keikoku, Okonomi De and Torikoshi Kurou are my favorites. I really love her jazzy-rock style.

I have just a few questions: What is Yokushitsu? It sounds like a remix of La Salle De Bain...

Second question: What is La Salle De Bain-song about? The lyrics, I mean.

so wash me cut me i am underwater
my lungs and breathing are quite affected
please watch me closely and do check to see
i dry out completely i dry through and through
come shine me tear me i am underwater
relying completely on zero gravity
and when i do melt down entirely immediately
bon appçtit

I don' t get it...

: Please someone tell me!

sxesven · #**111** 15th September 2005, 03:03 PM

La Salle De Bain is actually a 'remix' of Yokushitsu. Yokushitsu originally appeared on 2000's Shouso Strip - for the Ringo No Uta single, Ringo-chan recorded a different version in the cabaret-like she had come to use relatively often by then.

As for the lyrics, I'm clueless. I don't ever really analize any lyrics, so I can't help you with that.

luminaire · #**112** 15th September 2005, 03:27 PM

A little dose of semi-TJ-related news, Hata drummed for Nakashima Mika on "MY MEDICINE", one of the 3 B-sides to her new NANA single "GLAMOROUS SKY". Nifty. =)

sxesven · #**113** 15th September 2005, 03:43 PM

Ooh, nice, I gotta check that out. Thanks, luminaire!

PSYCHEDELICOdust · #**114** 15th September 2005, 04:43 PM

Go Hata.

And on the la salle de bain note, <3 la salle de bain. LOL

BanFan · #**115** 16th September 2005, 06:26 AM

Ok...I feel so Shiina Ringo deprived.

All the Oni fans will hate me for doing this, but I'm taking her '02 Live DVD off my Christmas List and putting on 'Shouso Strip'. "GIBS" and several other songs are impossible to resist!! Her 3rd album's on the list already too. I already have 'Sugar high' and 'the Ultimate Collection', so I'll save live Oni for another time. *Can't wait until Christmas*

sxesven · #**116** 16th September 2005, 08:13 AM

Shouso Strip is an excellent choice! Used to be my favourite Ringo-chan album for a long while - you definitely can't go wrong with it. Speaking of which, I should order the Kabuki Choo and Koufukeron 3" singles some time to complete my collection. Diddly-darn.

Okay, thanks. Weird, I thought that La Salle De Bain was the original mix.

I like the song so I feel a little stupid when I don't understand what she is singing about... I guess I'm trying to figure it out on my own then.

Happii · #**118** 16th September 2005, 08:19 PM

Okay, I hate to appear pushy but I really need this information. This is a post I posted here a while ago and I couldn't get any replies. I hope you can help me here.

Questions...

Can someone upload...
STEM Single versions of Meisai and Ishiki
Tokyo no Onna from Gibs single
Private from Ryoko Hirosue's Jeans single

Is the English STEM that was in the Analog (vynil) edition of Karuki Zaamen Kuri no Hana the same as the one in STEM single?
What is the exact title of 13----Mado in the B-sides? Which CD does it belong to?
Do demo tracks belong to a CD? If not, how did you get them?
Which CD does A New Way To Fly belong to?
Which version of Shido to Hakuchuumu is the single version? The 4min3sec one or the 3min35sec one?

Oh oh, and I'm looking for a high-resolutioned pic of Shouso Strip album cover. If you have it, please let me know.

sxesven · #**119** 17th September 2005, 01:01 AM

I can't help you with the MP3s right now, because I no longer have webspace (diddly-darn), although I can send the Ringo-chan songs over MSN or the like if no one else has them. Can't help with the Ryoko song though.

As for your questions:

- the vinyl version of Kuki (STEM) has the same arrangement as the CD version, but has English lyrics instead
- as for track 13, 'Medo' - if we're talking about the same b-sides collection that floats around on P2P programs and the like; it's in fact a song called Creep. The original is by Radiohead and can be found on their CD Pablo Honey. Ringo-chan never released it, she just covered it live once.
- the only officialy released demo tracks will be ones you find on singles, there hasn't been a b-sides or demo collection. Mostly they're rips from videos, etcetera.
- here's all you need to know about A New Way To Fly
- the 3:35 one, the 4:03 one can be found on Muzai Moratorium

As for the pic, I may have one, but I'm not sure. If I find it, I'll post it.

Happii · #**120** 18th September 2005, 07:19 PM

Thank you very much for your help ^^

This is the 13----Mado I'm talking about. It sounds nothing like Radiohead's Creep for me. I downloaded it from the Shiina Ringo b-sides BigJimmyC posted.
