I was already thinking about it^^
Anyone have sheets for that?

^ Can you do Tadashii Machi as well? XD
I think I got into this song as well since my last post.

I'll keep practising in the shower. At the moment my vocals suck big time LOL!

I saw the frecklegirl post about the jacket and I found it on her official website

「無罪モラトリアム」のジャケットはこうして撮影された！
　某月某日。都内のオシャレな某撮影スタジオにおいて、椎名林檎の記念すべきファーストアルバム『無罪モラトリアム』のジャケット撮影が秘密裏に行われた。撮影スタジオに入るなり、メイクもそっちのけで墨をすり筆を走らせる林檎ちゃん。力強い筆使いで書かれるのは『無罪モラトリアム』の題字のようだ。そのまわりをナゼかウロウロと歩きまわる新聞記者（らしき人）に、報道カメラマン（らしき人）に、警備員（らしき人）…。さらに、こんな異様ともいえる雰囲気にとどめを刺したのは、とても堅気の御職業には見えない危険なフェロモンを発する数十名のオジサン達（エキストラさん）! 撮影スタジオには、あたかも場外馬券売場のようなイケナイムードが一気に充満する。そんな中で「凄い! 凄い! あたしのイメージどおり! 」と無邪気に笑顔をふりまく林檎ちゃん…。これが本当にヴィジュアルに細心の注意を払わなくてはいけないはずの、女性ヴォーカリストのジャケット撮影現場なのか？一体全体、これからどんな写真が撮られようとしているのか？この結末は、是非CD屋さんで確認していただきたい…。

does it say anything interesting?

Here's how the "Muzai Moratorium" jacket was photographed!
A certain day on a certain month. At a certain stylish photo studio in the metropolitan area, the photoshoot for the jacket of Shiina Ringo's would-be commemorative first album "Muzai Moratorium" was being undertaken in utmost secrecy. Upon entering the photo studio, Ringo-chan ignores makeup and takes up the inkbrush. Using the reassuring brush, what appears to be the letters "Muzai Moratorium" is written. Around her there is a (supposed) reporter, a (supposed) cameraman, and a (supposed) guard, all walking around aimlessly for some reason. Furthermore, the real clincher to this odd atmosphere is the dangerous pheromones never seen in a quite respectable business being emitted by the dozens of old men (extras)! In the photo studio, a bad mood seeming like an off-track betting sales floor, as it were, at once fills the air. In the midst of that, "Great! Great! Perfect for your image!" as Ringo-chan innocently lavishes her smile upon everyone... As we should really pay close attention to the visuals here, is this a place where a female vocalist's jacket photoshoot takes place? What in the world kinds of pictures will they try to take after this? The conclusion is, we absolutely want the CD stores to accept it...

I always loved MM's cover. Even if it's not my favourite album, the cover is probably the best of them all.
Thanks for translating that piece of information frecklegirl :)

MM is easily the best Shiia/Jihen cover. And I think one of the cooler album covers of mine

ROFL. dangerous pheromones from old men. I like how it makes Ringo seem like some maiden out to get raped and only she all like "this is so sketchy and just what I imagined! sugoi!" rofl

After some months without listening to it, now I'm listening to MM and I just must say that this is such a great album to make a debut with... When Tokyo Jihen said that "Variety" would be MM-like, they should be jokin'...

When they announced they'd release OSCA, Killer Tune and a new album made up by all the members' songs and all that shit... Nobody remembers that? Yahiko?! xD.
