It's just *her* song. Her signature, if you will. It feels like, this is what it must be like to be Shiina Ringo, at the start of her career. She doesn't care for the supposedly correct career path that most others follow - just give her a guitar and a place to play and she's happy. Life is full of promise, no serious attachments are weighing her down, just playing all day and playing all night.

Koufukuron.

If she was happy she wouldn't have gone to England.

That's why she got pregnant.

True enough.

Honnou is probably her best known song, but Marunouchi Sadistic has had a lot more staying power. For a while it seemed like she sang it in every concert.

Koufukuron seems a lot more general - not as much about her specifically.

OK, so it's an ideal, not an absolute reality. Still, if she had just been allowed to play her music, instead of having to deal with crap from her label, maybe she wouldn't have wanted to leave.

True enough. Jinsei wa Omoidouri?

It's just such a good song. Period. I didn't even need to understand the words to appreciate its epicness. And when I did bother to digest the lyrics, wow, such wit.

I've never seen Ringo live before, so I don't mind seeing her play seemingly-overplayed-tunes-for-others when I finally do.

If you're interested, its available on Amazon.
I just picked this up, and guess what? The interview comes with an official English translation. When's the last time we saw that?

The English is not exactly fluent, but it reads well.

Does she ask Ringo "WTF happened?????" or "Out of all the men you could choose from, you went for that dude?" :-p

Ninagawa: When we went to Lady Gaga's concert before, though it was after a long interval to meet up, you already talked about your divorces along the way.

Sheena: Yeah. You said that the format of the divorce documents always changes every time you divorce. Then you asked me how I always deal with it but I only did it once, not "always"!

All: (laugh)

Happy 17th anniversary of Ringo's debut, everyone!

Seems there was nothing special planned for this year. We got Re-Import on this date last year, and Irohanihoheto in 2013.
