Somehow I envison Ringo singing and playing the keyboard herself all alone in an empty studio...

Sounds really good, however I hope this somehow doesn't replace the original on a future single release or whatever... I want both versions if that's the case!

Also I'll be really sad if Hata (probably) is kicked out.

Anyone else enjoying watching her blow bubbles with her mouth like a toddler?

I think I like the version with TJ better, but I'd like to hear a full version of this too.They cut it off right when I wanted to hear more.

I am starting to calm down and laugh at myself for ever taking a musician on a major label seriously.

Be careful about the waters you're treading in.
Some of us still take other EMI artist(s) seriously, if EMI even counts as "major label" compared to Avex, Sony, or Universal.

Somebody wake me up when this Hata situation is sorted out and the single has a release date. I'm in total denial right now.

Me too. I like the solo version, though.

Wow... I thought only idols get this sort of treatment when they screw up. This is just too much

If you're talking about me, I was really only talking about the PV. I'm very bad at identifying music genres so I can't say for sure which genre Onna no.... belongs to. In fact, I really want to know what genre Irokoizata is so I can hate it with more precision!

Thanks a lot. I googled Shiina Ringo fanfic and found Ringo+Kyo from Dir en Grey. I did not read it. Yet.

http://bit.ly/fhn7vA - Hata Toshiki makes an apology

EDIT: Isn't that Kyo + Ringo fanfic based on the fact that they might've actually gone out once upon a time? I'm not sure though. Dir en grey and Ringo/Tokyo Jihen are my two absolute favourite bands ever.

Back in the '90s, L'Arc~en~ciel's drummer got busted for drugs. Everything they had released was pulled from store shelves, their new single was postponed, and the drummer was kicked out of the band. Granted, L'Arc was way more popular back then than Tokyo Jihen is now.

Hahahahahaha. No. Kaoru and Shinya are the ones that loved Ringo. Kaoru turned into a shy schoolgirl when Ringo complimented his manicure on some TV show (I think Music Station).
