Shiina-san performed Tori to Ebi to Buta live on CDTV this weekend: Link here.

Also, Shiina and Sakurai Atsuhi will perform Kakeochi sha on Music Station on Friday May 31st. Really looking forward to that.

Stray thoughts:
The PV - I agree it's quite intricate and I appreciate the attempt to close the loop thematically on the past couple years. The lone horn solo at the end gave me goosebumps. Still, I get the frustration that it's still a prologue. Can't wait to see how she follows up!

TOKYO - It's refreshing to hear her scale down the arrangement and let the melody really shine. It reminds me of Sakasa ni Kazoete in the best way possible. Aside from the general 60s jazz vibe though, I'm not sure what specifically makes this sound like another showtune (esp given the lack of orchestration)?
