"Tamatebako" deserves it's own topic
So I made one for it!
To clear up any confusion, here's a summary of the old folk tale involving the "Tamatebako":
Take the three men named "Kichisa": One day they're mere thieves, the next they're on the top of a mountain, stabbing themselves. "Blood brotherhood" aside, their greed got the better of them. I believe this is Ringo's interprettation of the story, given her allusion to "Tamatebako". I'm fairly certain the original play was intented to be more of a romanticized crime story, but I think it's worth seeing it for what it really is: a story about people getting in over their heads. The final scene of Sannin Kichisa is most likely directly referenced in this stanza of the song:
Somewhere on Google Books I found you could read a 10-12 page version of the story, but I'm too lazy to find it again.

As far as I know, it's not going to be released. But the part playing during the show was a studio recording, it sounds like. Maybe she'll stick it on a re-release of something someday!

Are you talking about the youtube video that shadynook posted in the forum?
Not as eccentric as it seems... "give me a reason to love you" [portishead] But i must admit that the second part of the video is pretty more interesting (4 minutes, 50 seconds) |

now that I think of about it it was pretty stupid of Ringo to put Karisome Otome Death Jazz Vers on SG but not this song, which has never had a legit release. Obviously it was recorded but never released...it would have made much more sense to use it on SG than KO does, especially with that on HF dvd and iTunes Store.

I think Ringo is very old-fashioned in some regards... I think she'd be the type of person to write a song like Tamatebako and say "it can not be listened to under any other circumstance than by watching the show". She did the same thing with songs on the Sakuran soundtrack that weren't a part of HF. This is something I've had something of a problem with. I respect Ringo's decision not to put Tamatebako on SG specifically, but I think it'd be a waste if she didn't release it somehow or another someday.

Tamatebako. This is proper Ringo songwriting. It's two of the best tunes Ringo has written in her entire career, and coupled with those visuals it's just fantastic! She has sooo much talent, why is she not using it!
