I don't mind the lip-sync or the vocal effect at all but maybe that's because I'm a new Ringo fan so everything is still fresh to my ear. Sure, it took me awhile to actually like NMM or Kamisama but i had no expectation.

No, it's very good that enthusiastic newer fans are participating and offering other perspectives, otherwise it would just us bitter bettys harping about the good old days.

My main issue with the performance wasn't that it's not like old Ringo, but that it was all about the cool visuals while the music was put aside. That's how I feel her career is going now - phone in the music, cover it up with cool images. I would be much less annoyed if I felt she was really into the music, even if I don't like her current style.

Megumi Hayashibara - Usura Hi Shinjuu

PV for the song Ringo wrote and produced for Megumi Hayashibara.

oh my gosh that clarinet quartet, I've been waiting too long for this

those 6/8 measures are mint

best song she's penned since the Sunny originals

deadgrandma · 2016.01.07, 07:49 PM

Damn, I like this one. Damn it.

But the fucking production is ass again.

zeroryouko · 2016.01.07, 07:53 PM

It's not just a good Ringo song - Ringo has once again managed to write a good song that is both uniquely hers and fits the singer like a glove. Megumi has never sounded so good, and she certainly deserves a lot of credit. But Ringo is the real hero for composing something that is actually flattering to her voice.

deadgrandma · 2016.01.07, 08:01 PM

I'm just delighted to have that "OH WOW" feel upon listening back. It's been too long.

Now please, write something like this for yourself Ringo.

It may not cover new ground but at least it doesn't sound phoned in.

Far more SG than Sunny. And that's fine with me.

zeroryouko · 2016.01.07, 08:06 PM

Seriously, that would be *awesome* live. I absolutely can't wait until Ringo herself sings it!

deadgrandma · 2016.01.07, 08:08 PM

You've got no idea how much this has made my day.

Something worthy of Ringos name for a change...

Hope bside(s?) are as good

I don't usually chime in much when the discussions go sour, but I like when we can all get along and agree Ringo put out a good song
