Hahahaha dear god, please no. Although I pray you aren't on to something. @_@

I'd like to see ニュース. What easier way to get TJ to try to say something, for real this time? (Which brought us Ariamaru Tomi and Denki no Nai Machi, right?)

For everyone at home that can't read japanese, it says "Commercial" and "news".

Denki no Nai Machi is obviously about the current situation, but what is Ariamaru supposed to be about?

A "News" theme album should be self-titled Tokyo Jihen's "The Tokyo Incidents."

Travel would be a nice theme with a sample of musical styles from different countries and a reason to use accordions and koto again.

Travel is my favorite idea so far. News would be interesting from a thematic standpoint, and we'd probably see some great lyrics from Shiina.

I like BanFan's Cooking idea, and getting some non-perishable food as a first press bonus would be better than getting cheap perfume/cologne. I'm not sure what you can do with "Cooking" musically or thematically, though (although anyone who's listened to YMCK's Family Cooking knows there's actually a lot of food you can sing about if you can get past the stigma of writing food-related lyrics).

Unless I'm mistaken, didn't SR write Ariamaru Tomi because she received a letter from some girls saying how their generation didn't have any songs they could relate to? And the lyrics seem to be commentating on material wealth.

Someone needs to listen to Cibo Matto! Although, I feel that these ideas are veering closer and closer to concept album territory (more so at least than Education, or Variety...) - which, if SR were to ever attempt, I would prefer it would be a solo effort.

An eponymous "Tokyo Jihen" album with the "news" theme would be a cool way to go out with a bang. Not that I foresee the band ending anytime soon.

According to wiki, Shiina co-wrote Ariamaru with Imamichi Tomotaka at the request of the director of "Smile".

Don't matter what the theme really is. You know it's never gonna be good.
