I'm calling it NORMAL. i know jpop can mean anything at a cd store but no offense here cause I know I'm among fans but....I'm comparing it to utada hikaru. Previously, I would seperate her from other hugely successfully pop artists (tasteful like hikaru and superfly and hirai ken and or tasteless like hamasaki and koda kumi) in my mind and this little clip here leaves me unable to do so. While I completely understand why people like the tasteful batch of NORMAL mainstream popstars and dont hold any judgement as long as you keep some variety (hahaha 言っちゃった).....I'm not interested in it and I'm worried that I will not be interested in this.

I'm still betting everything on the first track.

I had mixed feelings about the clip. One part of it sounded like 'typical bland J-Pop ballad', another part of it sounded like Karada...and for one split second she sounded like she was going to break into Juuwaki no Naka (sp?)

^ I hate trashy tracklists like that. You get them a lot on hip hop albums (And dance remix thingy albums obviously)

I don't think this song should be called jpop. jpop is a term that gets used in japan for almost everything (if you go into tower records or any cd store and look for most artists, from ringo to ayumi hamasaki to monobright to zazen boys to pez, they will all be under jpop). lazer, the context in which you use jpop, with a general disdain, is generally what I would use when talking about like para para and anime insanely high pitched over the top cutesty ayumi hamasaki shit. this song (sweet spot) is definitely closer to ariamaru tomi, karada, and other ringo goodies of late. the production values manage to avoid the Variety pitfalls while still capturing a similar style mood and ringo's vocals are nice and silky smooth singing over an underwhelming production (which is a nice change).

man I just want the entire album now.


I agree,you are right on the gold.

...But then I'm the person that thinks that there should be a category just for Shiina Ringo.

I hate so much that Jpop word,there should be a warning label that says
" careful, handle with care,hazardous word"

Awww, I get back home all excited and stuff and looking forward to finding SOMETHING else, and... nothing. I think I need to backtrack a bit and forget anything about leaks and chaku-uta releases (Which can't be listened to anyway except via mobile)
