I love her version. It's like a lost gem in her catalog.

It does get really forgotten in the mix, as do a lot of songs on UM. Fuck it I'm gonna listen to UM right now.

BOOP OOP A DOOP

Im surprised she didn't bring this out in EXPO 14 with her Marilyn Monroe look now I think about it. Weird.

It's all a bait-and-switch. People are gonna come to see Ringo and it's gonna turn out to be a tour of Uki, Saito Neko, iDevian, and Aya & Bambi. :wakka:

I just saw that this is a line from Souretsu. I said Shuukyou :wakka:

So you did. I guess I just saw what I wanted to see. :D

Momen no Handkerchief is pretty much the only song off of UM that I listen to, but... You guys do realize that there is a second singer (Nao Matsuzaki) in the song, right? Would you really have liked to hear that bald dude from GX, Hirama or Uki singing half the song?

It's been a long time since I've been reminded of that album, which is rather ignored here. It was an early favorite of mine; might have been the first Ringo I bought cheap after discovering NYC Book-Off. Playing it again now.

That's true. I don't see her performing songs where she isn't credited (and are thus exclusively Jihen). So no OSCA or BB Queen.

I enjoy overthinking these things, but judging by the promo pics this year I think that this setlist would be appropriate. The instrumentation would feature plenty of Nagoshi and Zazen-style FX.

I thought there would be more room for classic solo songs, but alas no (I still think there's a bigger chance she'll do more throwbacks to classic SR).

UM is great. Somehow it sounds like every SR/Jihen album, *including* Variety.

I can see her doing OSCA again if Uki's on tour with her

frankly I wouldn't mind anything from That Bald Dude, guy was pretty fly
