Tracklis:
1. SSAW (boring....)
2. Aozora (ZZZZZZzzzzzz....)
3. Any live Koufukuron ver E (scream woman!! stop counting!!!)
4. Torikoshikurou
5. Poltergeist

theres more, but in all honesty, I don't hate any of SR/TJ, I reserve those hate for some other crappy band/singer, these are just tracks I usually skip tis all.

So... not too many people like Sigma, Crawl, and all them noise?? too bad.

I do however agree with Aozora. It's way to slow for me. I do like the Gekokujyo version though.

What do you play if you want people to like her?

5. Byoushou Public (aaah! pummeled senses!)

At this point, Shiina Ringo has established herself as not only the worst ballad singer ever, but also the grungiest singer ever, and not in a good way.
I suppose it's a function of them being late-30s and 40s music nerds, but if I had to pick out one song to get my friends interested in Shiina Ringo, Byoushou Public might be it. I mean, *in the first 45 seconds alone*, she manages to squeeze in references to Iggy Pop, The Butthole Surfers, and Husker Du. And the out-of-the-blue Styx keyboard thing on the bridge is pretty hilariously great.

My plan of attack would go something like this:

1. Start out with Gibusu. I've finally warmed up to it, but at first listen, most any female over the age of 15, and all males of any age will immediately think *Couples-only song at the roller-rink*. Pause the song when she first sings "I wanna be with you", write that out in the texting way Shiina did with the kanji "wanna" and the theta and the 'B' and the 'U' and all that, then go on and on for about 30 seconds about her clever word play and the way she twists around phonetic uses of kanji and English. Sing along loudly with that line on the rest of the choruses.

2. "She can also rawk. Hard." [cue up Fukushuu]. Bang your head a little with it, and butt in occasionally with things like "Man, this guitarist just shreds." and "God. This song just KICKS. ASS."

3. "She also does all this crazy experimental shit, too." [Ringo Catalog]. Don't explain what's going on, just play it. Then play it again, and say "Whoa. That's just so friggin cool".

4. "And in the past couple of years, she's started doing *great, great* jazz stuff. She's a total genius. She's effortlessly mastered like the last 50 years of popular music." [Papaya Mango].

You've softened them up now, so let on that it was a joke, that you deliberately picked out songs they'd hate. Then start talking about her third album, how it's like her Kid A, the greatest Japanese rock album maybe ever, there's hardly a moment on it that's not amazingly cool and clever. And hand them a burned copy of ZCS.

Mission accomplished.

^ I don't know... Monad sure has me hoping Byoushou Public pops up next on my random playlist.

Poltergeist was my fav song for quite some time. I was used to people hating Tasogare Naki, which was once my TJ fav. So what's next? Anybody hating Rakujitsu?

Great. Totally agreed, especially with this point. Yesterday, I was listening to "Mayonaka wa Junketsu" and "Karisome Otome (DEATH JAZZ ver.)" and I re-realized that she is such a great jazz singer .

ZCS the greatest Japanese rock album maybe ever???

My worst mix would go something like this :

Mellow
Sigma
Memai
Fukurande Kichatta
Kuki HF
Kougousei
Kimi no hitomi ni koishiteru
Tamenagi no Happy Song
La Salle de Bain

... I can't think of anything else.
