Who the hell are Ray, Christophe, Thomas, Meilani, Andy, Duke, Spike and Hikari in Chin Chin Pui Pui?

Did Ringo hire bunch of gaijins to shout "Ringo x 3"?

And EMI is so afraid of getting sued by Apple for Ringo using "iPhone" in the lyrics they actually put "iPhone is trademark of Apple Inc" in the booklet.

Probably some ponces she met at that fashion show in NY.

I found proof Ringo photo in Sunny is not photoshopped.

By posting an image that wasn't the cover? Nobody has said a word about that picture and her torso wasn't exposed on the cover. My issues are with the post-process make-up and weird tone differences/potentially alternate head.

It's of no matter now. It's entertainment value has long vanished.

Certainly nothing new. You can pick and compare each and every song on this to something else thats on another one of those 4 albums.
For the sake of argument, I'd be interested to see what parallels you're hearing when you listen to SUNNY. Even then, for an artist this advanced in her career, isn't that a bit inevitable?

It certainly isn't as novel as SG was when that album came out, but I don't think you can say it offers nothing new - it seems (at least the new songs do) like a natural progression from SG.

I've listened to the album a couple times now and I must say I like it. Her original songs on it are all enjoyable and the songs previously released fit well on the album imo. My only complaint is the brass sections on every track. I was so disappointed with Import/Export but am majorly relieved and excited for her future releases.

Doku Ichigo to me was the natural progression from SG. And I loved it.

Reimport opened new, exciting doors. No it wasn't a perfect album, but the prospects for album 5 were good. Album 5 coulda been something totally fresh and unlike anything she'd made before.

Sunny closed them doors as soon as they were opened (except for maybe JL005), instead we just got another SG/Doku Ichigo and leftover Jihen tracks.

I know I always talked about not actually minding the prospect of another SG for quite a while- (and it's also why I find the amount of people digging this album surprising too, seeing as most of the new tracks sound almost the same as SG yet SG was quite poorly received by a lot of the same users if you care to go back) but when we finally got one, I just felt totally 'whatever' about it within a couple days.

Ringo had a 5 year gap between main albums. There's no excuse for it to be so half baked and an EP in disguise.
