Two thoughts on this release:
1. I think it will be very Ringo yet very Jihen sounding, because the original versions of the songs by Tokio, Puffy, Chiaki are basically pop-rock Ringo, and I see some producer names who arrange music for idols and Avex. I personally love my pop-rock Ringo over boring shit like Saisakizaka.
2. I'm really annoyed by these recent Ringo releases that focus too much on "fancy", oversized, digipak packaging. Regardless of how good the music is, 11 songs for 3240 yen is bullshit, 2300 yen would be more like it. On top of that, they can't be bothered to include Shoujo Rebot? And I bet the B2 poster is folded and won't be flat on the wall.
