It doesn't sound like Ringo is even going to be singing this herself; rather, Ringo wrote it and it's sung by one of the characters in the video. Also, by postal insurance, I think they really mean personal life insurance offered by the post office (which, in Japan, functions like a big bank in addition to delivering mail) instead of insurance against lost or damaged goods. Carnation redux may actually be pretty close to the mark.

^ you're right, I just read the description a lot more closely, and she's not the one singing it.

Ad


Yep there it is.

Truly insignificant and we can forget about it immediately.

Aw man I thought it was a regular song called Insurance and I was intrigued. OF COURSE it had to be an ad for insurance.

That girl's voice is lovely btw, at this point I would prefer hearing that girl's voice with that sort of song and broadway visuals than Shiina Ringo. That way it's at least temporarily refreshing.

Here's the 90 second clip. Looks like they unearthed the Onna no Ko set.

not cute at all and BORING. Reusing the same old broadway sh*t for 4-5 times isn't a good thing, but why you still do that, Ringo? Urgh.

I kinda love the intro music (first minute or so).... then it devolves into nothing.
