Well, she's an actress, not a musician - and definitely not a singer of the caliber of Shiina Ringo. I kind of outgrew her a while ago, but that being said, I do still like the sound of her voice.

On the other hand, it would be pretty hard to imagine the anime world without her. In addition to Rei Ayanami, she's also Faye Valentine, female Ranma, Lina Inverse, Musashi (a.k.a. Jessie), Atsuko "Paprika" Chiba, and something like 200 others. Also she voices Cartman's mom in the Japanese dub of South Park.

anyone ever distracted by Ringo's use of a teleprompter when she sings live? I know she's been using it since mid-era Tokyo Jihen but lately I don't know it seems so distracting ala SNL

A teleprompter for her own songs? Are you sure? How can you tell?

I can imagine for her English tracks, but for her Japanese ones??? Is she that senile already?

DADADADA----N!!!

Goods are out! glad to see their design sense is unchanged. I honestly can't pray enough for Uki in the full Rama series (the top 3). Thread work also looks amazing, though (and apparently Ringo was involved in much of the process, like shape, choosing fabrics and textures, etc. I guess that's included in the price :p)

I'm guessing that the name Rama relates to Ramayana Buddhism/Lamaism.

Also that's an incredible logo!

Annnnd there is reason to believe that this is the official tour twitter, but I've yet to see hard proof of it.

There's only 1 shirt in 3 colors so that's not saying much :p

I personally like 'em better than most other T-shirts SRTJ have put out in the past, but I'm also very big on the monster parade theme.

I just wish there were some crew neck alternatives

Yes, TJ especially had some puke inducing shirts. Remember that tiger print one from Discovery tour? Ugghhhhh

Still, Expo 14 and Toutaikai t-shirts were waaaay better than this one.
