Also, I can agree with gekokujyo's comment as another one who's been with Ringo for 10 or so years... thankfully, the poll (not sure how many of the ~10k viewing responded, so it may not be an accurate reflection) shows that people who were "disappointed" are largely in the minority if they had things they didn't like, hopefully they responded with what she could do to improve, but it felt overall like a success! And Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri got 7.7% for favorite song of the night, fall and lip-synch be damned Like Maou said a couple posts ago, I (and probably lots of fans) would love more mixing of genres and experimentation in the eventual singles and whenever-she-gets-around-to-it album... but I've personally never felt regret or disappointment while following her music--I'm personally happy as long as she makes music that she's pleased with (which is debatable and something we'll never know for sure besides her vocal love for Hashire wa number )

As of a minute ago, it appears there were 798 responses to the poll. So it should be a fairly significant sample.

Nagoshi did most of the rock solos. And he already did the bridge solo for Ariamaru so it really sucked balls that it didn't end with the ending solo.
I was glad to see old people. Shows that Ringo isn't your typical idol. |

Yeah, that's kinda what I expected. I'm hoping Ringo brings back Izonshou for the Japan tour and we get some crazy dual solo ending jam from Uki and Nagoshi.

The Cola song was the bottom right, so I'm past Ringo roasting, I'm all hopeful now, everything's gonna be alright.
Are there any videos from Rock in Japan yet? JPS has a few 40GB files worth of RIJ footage yet no Shiina there, which is kinda disappointing, I just wanna see more of her live. |

I haven't been here long enough to know but do ya'll really dislike coke song more than NIPPON? That shit makes coke song look like KZK, imo. Autotune/vocoder or no.

All pokes aside though, I respect you guys who don't personally like the song! I'm sure there are songs of hers that I'm not too fond of but that you (general you) probably enjoy. And Ringo's RIJ performance wasn't on the live broadcast but maybe in a few months footage will be out ...

That's a tough one. For me it comes down mostly to the vocals. In the Coke song they're processed almost beyond recognition, even live; meanwhile I've never really heard a live rendition of NIPPON that didn't sound like she was struggling with it.

I'm still holding on, based on that one moment the facade slipped, to the belief that she knows it's all bullshit and that the song was just a cheap shot to catapult her back into relevance among the general public. Coke song is probably the same deal, but at least the chord progression is cool. MV's great too.
