Let me guess.

It's about a video retrospect arranged in a chronological order, isn't it?

My current computer can't read the kanjis, but I can see "Motion Graphics", so I assume it's about Heisei Fusoku.

If such a thing is goind to be aired, I wonder if Ringo is up to something. Would it be the pending happening of another old dream of mine about the possibility of a secret duo project?

Any chance for international people to watch this? Do you think a video of it will pop up somewhere?

Might get reuploaded but I think you may have to get a nico nico account if you really want to see it.

I appreciate it!! I love that song. And I love this one, and I love the video, but I love anything kitsune.

Not sure if it's been emphasized but this single is coming out exactly 15 years after her debut single of Koufukuron. That explains why the release date is a Monday instead of the traditional Wednesday.

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG.

And the video.

I haven't seen if the other song is out or anything, I just needed to share that.

And the beginning is totally Toccata and Fugue but sooo lovely.

I am seriously tempted to just buy the single, but I usually wait for the album...

The second song's full credits. Looks like it has an orchestra but also has normal band (including electric sitar), Ringo on synth and Wurlitzer... oh and Saito Neko... I feel a sigh from both Jihad and Inseu right now.

It's the usual Ringo cast of Nagoshi, Nakayama, Neko, and Inoue Uni but all in one song. Can't tell who's on bass, drums (and wurlitzer). I think it will be close to the version in the unclearer preview. I'm guessing it'll begin with the blander jpop arrangement and devolve into craziness. Something like Togatta Teguchi and SG Superficial Gossip, especially the former. It would be interesting except the vocal melody seems weak. I hope most of it is instrumental.

When I listen to the unclear version -- again, it makes me think of the 'folkiness' of Muzai Moratorium but blown up on a cosmic Shouso Strip level.
So if Muzai Moratorium is folklore/urban myth, Shouso Strip is cosmos, KSK is religion, Sanmon Gossip is 'all the world's a stage,' then the new album would be 'paradise/utopia' (the pixelated apple on the cover being the forbidden fruit of Eden, lol)

A person (pichan0601ys) who commented on this youtube upload of the video has lyrics in there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trdpCrPeIks

青い空よなぜ雲をかかえて走っていく
恋しいだれかをそっと追いかけるの?
甘い果実よなぜ蜜を隠して黙っている
美味しい処をだれかに残しているの?
教えてよ もう騙されないわ
仮初めの彩度だけじゃ厭なの
色眼鏡 割り捨てて
赤い空よなぜ太陽なんて融かしていく
逢えないなみだに今日を滲ませるの?
判るのよちゃんと見極めるわ
単色(モノクロ)の濃度だけでいいの
色仕掛け 取り止めて
気高い貴方もこの大自然の一端ね
私に見せてよ
今なお未開拓の根源 嗚呼
生きている貴方命は無色透明
黄色い百合よなぜ別れ際に嗤っている
「永遠」を欲するのは無理というの?
丸い眼を透かして求めた
全部が悲しい 浅い
夢見やしゃんせさあ見やしゃんせ

I don't know how accurate the lyrics are - if they have the actual lyrics, or are just transcribing from ear and making some words archaic. But anata and the like have crazy kanji like Ringo usually does.

Still, fun! I always like repetitive color imagery in songs, but mainly because it's super easy to pick out.
