I realized while listening to this:
These songs could easily fit on Sanmon Gossip.

And that's terrible.

Because one of the best things about Ringo is the musical development she shows with each album, and it's sad how this new release fits a little too well with something from 2 years ago.

Well, you know, that's like trying to heap shit on gold. No matter how much shit you heap on it, it's still gold underneath. Sanmon Gossip was an amazing album, so I'm not complaining. XD

Sanmon Gossip was awesome, but these songs are too poopy to be on SG.

No, I mean
Each of Ringo's albums sound musically distinct and have a musical theme separate from eachother. And it's interesting to see how she develops with each new album.
But these songs are brand-new, but fit in pretty much perfectly with something from 2 years ago. It shows no development, no change. And that's really disappointing. If she comes out with a new album next year, I'm worried that it will just sound like Sanmon Gossip Part 2.

I really don't think she will make the same. Carnation the song doesn't sound like SG and the other 2 are (very good) bsides. It wouldn't surprise me if they are SG leftovers, they're far too good to have been on Sports or Daihakken (imo).

Plus, we haven't heard that ballet movie music yet, only a snippit, that sounded really stripped down and stuff. Maybe when that comes out, it may be an indication of what to expect when/if a new one comes out.

Remember, Ariamaru Tomi sounded pretty similar to Rakujitsu etc, but then SG didn't sound anything like Ariamaru afterwards.

Who knows. Though, I personally wouldn't care if it was a SG2. Of course, even I would be a bit disappointed at first, but I'd let it slide after a couple of days and then get into it.

It would not fit SG.

When is the ballet movie coming out? I can't wait to hear ringo's compositions.
