I think she doesn't like the therm, not the kind of music (like no one says madonna is us-pop, or shakira is c-pop), being or not pop ('cause it's really bizarre to put, for example, soil & pimp sessions and morning musume under the same category: j-pop.). It's really strange, if you stop to think about it. But it's the old problem of needing to put a label in everything.

I hope so too!

Have you listened to Raphael Saadiq's newest album? It's sounds pretty amazing!

WTF?

sorry, but what does this all mean??? I get that it has 2 different infos, which is strange, but what is the info? (I used google translator but it didn't really help....)

I think it's just the difference in track number. Other than that, they basically say the same thing.

First one says : CM tie up Sora ga Natteiru, Onna no Ko wa Daredemo, Atarashii Bunmeikaika and last year release Tengoku e Youkoso & Dopamint new version. 14 songs total.

Second on says : Sora ga Natteiru & Onna no Ko wa Daredemo and new version of last year release Tengoku e Youkoso & Dopamint. 13 songs total.

Let's not forget the English page of Kronekodow.
It is saying 13 tracks, which seems more in line with previous albums. TJ's website could still be counting "Onna no Ko wa Dare Demo/Fly Me To Heaven" as two separate songs. Also of note:

Sheena Ringo to Perform "Fly Me to Heaven" on May 20 Music Station
Sheena Ringo will be appearing on Music Station on May 20, representing Incidents Tokyo.

She will be performing "Fly Me to Heaven," a song familiar to many of you as the theme of the Shiseido Maquillage commercials also starring Ms. Ringo. Expect something a bit different than the Incidents would perform. Don't miss it!

It makes me wonder if Ringo went on as a solo artist just so she could have the ballet dancers. By the way, given Ringo's past with ballet and what she said about the meaning of Onna no Ko wa Dare Demo made this particular performance interesting. Though I can't speculate about her personal life, were the dancers symbolic of her own childhood dreams of being a dancer that had been laid to rest?

[ChickShhh]

so did SWITCH mention whether the album has 13 or 14 songs? I'm getting confused.

tokyojihen: 14 songs (perhaps we can get a bonus track just like the 4th solo album? i.e. Yoake no Uta?)
kronekodow: 13 songs

[jackmanca]

In addition to a special and rare late-night interview by feature editor Masaki Uchida, a new track off the new 'Great Discovery' album, "Brand New Civilization," will be aired. You might want to look forward to this.

(from kronekodow)

Is this song Atarashii Bunmei Kaika?

12-1am- streaming here I come

In response to Jackmanca: Yes. It is.

I've been thinking

Does anyone else smell a clips DVD cash in round the corner (AKA 3000+ yen for 20 mins of video). I mean you've got 4 videos -the 2 recent and the 2 from sports- and all the CMs.

Smells like yen to me
