It's not a sample after all, so pigs do fly.

Looks just like my copy from CD Japan, except there's also a poster I haven't unrolled and looked at yet.

Definitely not bad for $10, though.

I didn't get a poster, but yeah. The item was used before. Probably meaning it was hated and then got rid of pronto.

The seller had to have hated their Circus CD+DVD even more than I hate my Hiyori-hime CD+DVD. That's difficult to imagine. And no, I don't hate the song, but the other material surrounding it goes from bad to worse.

I can't say I hate Circus, it's typical Jpop-fare. It's at least not some sickeningly sweet idol offering and there are at least a couple decent tracks. But yeah.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Oishii Kisetsu is more Muzai Moratorium-like than anything Ringo has written in years. I mean, since like, Utaite Myori. Yeah, you heard me.

I think it might be one of those songs that she has written pre-EMI but never recorded (like Gamble, before in ended up on Zecchoushou or HF)

Who knows how many songs she is just sitting on?

Well, if the rumors from the production of Heisei Fuuzoku are true, hundreds.
Or something like that.

Oh, and does anyone have the writing credits for Circus, out of curiosity? Allegedly all the songs were written by someone famous aside from Ringo, including Tomoyasu Hotei, Kenichi Asai, along with dudes from Third Eye Blind and Jet. I can guess, but it would be interesting to know.

Hundreds? Oh man, I would just wish she would produce them. Flood the whole market with her songs for all I care. How I wish I could hear them sing them all.
