Biggest hyperbole in the history of the ever all time.

My god. I have to be there when she performs Mayakashi Yasaotoko - Togatta Teguchi live. If I don't, I only have myself to blame, unless it's in Autumn this year which is impossible. There's nothing stopping me really. Mayakashi Yasaotoko - Togatta Teguchi, and Mayonaka wa Junketsu - Mittei Monogatari. (Will shut up about her next solo concert now)

If I were to do my own editing of the album, I would put Mayonaka wa Junketsu on it, and drop 5 songs:

06. 都合の好い身体 (Tsugou no Ii Karada)
08. 二人ぼっち時間 (Futaribocchi Jikan)
11. 色恋沙汰 (Irokoizata)
13. 余興 (Yokyou)
14. 丸の内サディスティック(EXPO Ver.) (Marunouchi Sadistic)

I love Yokyou to death, even though usually I prefer the EXPO ver. over it

Agreed. I just love the brass instruments starting up at the beginning of EXPO version.

I found out "yokyou" (sideshow) is the term used for the little skits sometimes/often performed at wedding receptions in Japan. For example, my friend used to be a flight attendant, so her flight attendant friends who came to the wedding put on their uniforms and did a little song/dance/skit thing during the reception. (I wasn't there, the wedding happened a year ago and we just met two months ago; I saw a picture.) That's a "yokyou" in the wedding context.

People never expect me to know words like this, btw, because it's not standard vocabulary at all. Haha. Thanks Ringo.

Does anyone have the vinyl version of this album? Can anyone confirm if it's worth owning over the CD version sound wise?

There is (very unfortunately) no full vinyl version of Sanmon Gossip. The LP compilation is called "Saturday Night Gossip" and has 6 tracks in total on it:

<side A>  
1.丸の内サディスティック(EXPO Ver.) (Marunouchi Sadistic (EXPO Ver.)
2.SG~Superficial Gossip~  
3.密偵物語(Saturday Night Gossip Ver.) (Mittei Monogatari) 

<side B>
1.マヤカシ優男 (Mayakashi Yasaotoko)
2.色恋沙汰 (Irokoizata)
3.流行 (Ryuukou)

As far as sound goes, its pretty neat getting Superficial Gossip in a version that isn't brickwalled to shit. Irokoizata seems to have a different sounding mix and Mittei Monogatari has Mummy-D rapping at the start of it, otherwise the same song.

It's probably not worth going over 8000 yen for MAX (I was lucky enough to get it when it was still on HMV), depends how crazy of a fan/how much you have to spend. I'd go for Hesei Fuzoku on LP before this one- they're around the same price nowadays.

It's thread is here

Thanks for the followup.

Ah, that's a letdown. I thought something was strange the auction said Saturday Night Gossip, but I wasn't sure if that was only a mistake. The auction is something over a $100 right now, so yeah, not worth it IMO.

Today's the 10th anniversary of SG! Strange to think the album that got me into Shiina Ringo is a decade old now. And still it's held up quite well as a cohesive work.

It makes me a bit wistful to think how much has (or hasn't) changed since then with Phase 2 TJ's definitive Sports, their break-up, her post-TJ discography and other ventures (Ichigo Ichie, the Olympics...)

How does SG hold up for everyone else?
