Hmm, fair enough, but I do believe that the emotions in a lot of her songs transcend the language barrier. For me, the same goes for Jun Togawa or Sa Dingding for sure.

uuughhhh. what a hard contest!!! I love both so much. But. Mayonaka, absolutely.
Also, I think Ringo's lyrics were more honest earlier in her career. Now they seem much more metaphorical, with maybe small grains of truth hidden here and there. |

^ Agreed. I love it when Ringo writes a song that gives you an intellectual workout, but I miss those cute, page-from-my-diary songs she used to write. Maybe that's just something you lose with youth.
As for the topic at hand, I say Mayonaka, hands down. Mittei Monogatari was a good effort though. Also, I don't think we should judge other fans on what emotional experience they have or don't have with Ringo's works. Just sayin'.

Honestly, I'm gonna have to go with Mittei Monogatari on this one. Don't get me wrong. I love Mayonaka wa Junketsu but the latter just has so much cool shit going on. We've got Ringo's sultry and playful vocals, the most epic flute ever played in a Ringo song (sorry, Ishiki), and some really great guitar. Seriously. The descending guitar line during the chorus makes me want to air guitar every single time. It's just a badass song. It's like the T2 to Mayonaka's Terminator. It may not have started it but it sure as hell knocked it out of the ballpark.
Of course, I don't even have to look at the poll results to know I'm in the minority on this one.
