Registered for Ringohan, but there is a delay. Hopefully the tickets won't be completely sold out by the time I can access it.
Only thing left to do then is to buy the first-press of the new single. Utada also did a song for Coke that was fantastic, and I like this song, but I agree with everyone that the autotune is unneccessary. I bet you the live version of it will be really fun, a total crowd pleaser. EDIT: Does anybody know if its possible to get 2 tickets? I want to bring a friend with me. Last concert I went to there were people who knew eachother who got seats next to eachother. But I don't remember when I applied to a ticket if there was an option for more than 1.

Ever since Toutaikai and Expo '14 I've just been judging all her releases by how good they might sound in concert, so by that standard Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri tentatively gets the green light. It's a fine song as long as Ukigumo doesn't have a rap part.
Plus if this ever makes it on an album it could get the Dopamint treatment. EDIT: Slightly longer sample available! revised verdict: eh Last edited by Positron : 2015.06.29 at 05:32 AM. |

What's this ticket talk about? Will there not be general ticket sales? Ringo will sell out? Yet to hear new songs.

^ Understatement of the year.
ETA: Seriously, what the hell?! The auto-tune is absolutely criminal, and there were better synthesizers on the first demo tape. There's exactly enough melody to fit in a 30-second commercial spot and then the rest just seems to go nowhere. Last edited by zeroryouko : 2015.06.29 at 09:26 AM. |

That song sounds like it would be fine without that atrocious autotune. Whose idea was that? Why did Shiina think it was okay? Could I have just been in the room when they were working out that idea? "And how about we add autotune to your voice Shiina?" "NO....no!"

Maybe she (or Universal) feels that the electronic sound is what's needed to compete these days. I mean, I can certainly see why *Coke* would want a song like that. I just can't see why Ringo would be involved.
Maybe this is just a case of "if it's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right." That would explain some of her other recent singles as well. I am going to keep hoping that this is just tiding her over while she's working on something better. Last edited by zeroryouko : 2015.06.29 at 12:56 PM. |

I think the primary idea for the song was "Coca-Cola wants a song for their summer commercials." Sounds like it'd be good live or on a future album with a new arrangement/no autotuning.
