But I don't think that's the whole, overarching theme of the song. Unless something else is pointing you towards it?
It's a little hard for me to explain, but it sounds to me that Ringohime is simply forced to think like an adult. The death in the song is the death of the innocent child Ringo. She's forced into her new role as a women and has no choice but to love her new self.

What are you talking about? I did not reply to anything he said in the first page. I just thought that last thing he said about her vagin was funny. In fact, I had not even seen his post on the first page because when I had seen his last one, I assumed that was the only new post.

It wasn't kuro_neko, it was Maou.

Someone made a joke about it being about her vagina and you took it seriously. Then kuro_neko makes the same joke--just in a way that makes it more obvious it's a joke--and you laugh!

Well with they way Maou said it, I thought the last sentence was pretty funny after he framed it more seriously, but I didn't think it was a straight up joke so I didn't want to offend him if he was really serious about it. With Kuro_neko, I thought it was an obvious joke, or at least the description "gargantuan beautiful meaty flower" was hilarious to me

Ringo Catalog is genius, all the reasons why I liked her in one song.

The number of simultaneous samples makes it sound like a futuristic amusement arcade, and the melody when it comes in is ridiculously good. Her old solo tunes always used to have a momentum to them, and the momentum of that melody is like supersonic... It was also only something like the 8th Ringo song I ever heard and it was so addictive I had to resist the desire to listen to it in case it spoiled anything I hadn't listened to yet (I'd heard enough of her other stuff to get the concept).

Actually I miss her using samples. They are part of what makes SS and KSK what they are.

Has anyone ever broken down Ringo Catalog completely to show exactly which samples she used? I wonder if the songs she chose to use mean something to her more than other songs.
