Yeah, I'm wondering if "Ariamaru Tomi" will be the final "Yokyou" title...

so the band is going on hiatus for the rest of the year?

summer singles lead to autumn albums, said the wise man.

Oh, do I need to turn my sound up to hear the music in the text thats posted, or are people pretending to be able to peg a song before they hear it again?

New? Solo? Single? Ok I'll take it, about time too. I'm in a good mood now.

However, we'll be able to hear it as soon as April 17th because it will be used as the theme song for a new drama starring Matsumoto Jun and Aragaki Yui titled Smile.
Let me be pessimistic first so I wont be knocked down by the over-joyness in May.

Red: This is so, so not-ringo. And I'm not talking about Shuraba.

....\ ('~') / - Yay

The dorama deal is putting a bit of doubt on all of this though... is this a serious drama? A teen/school motivation drama? Trying to picture which mode of SR would fit which type of drama >_>;

I don't think it's a big deal. The talentlessness of most J-Drama actors/actresses/idols isn't automatically transferred over to Shiina Ringo because she's making music for them. It won't automatically make her write a rubbish song.

It won't automatically make her a bad songwriter, but it might restrict her to useless or overplayed genres/themes. I don't know how much input the show creators have in these type of situations. Will they have approached Ringo and said "We want a slow love ballad with strings and shit" or "Hey Ringo, can you do a theme for us?" leaving it entirely open to her. I suppose the best case scenario would be if Shiina decided to make a new single herself and the drama deal came at a later date. Then maybe it wouldn't seem like the single is being forced out of her. As I said though, whatever the case, I'll try to remain as optimistic as I can until we get some more details or a preview.

and yes, this song serves as the theme song for the new tv drama Smile, where it was much demanded, and we can hear it used there starting on "shiina no hi" or Shiina Day, which is 4/17 cuz 4(shi) 1(i) 7(na).
You can take it to mean that they demanded a single from her, but I take it as they heard about the single and wanted it so badly. I don't think Ringo, even nu-hime, would make a new single just because a drama demanded it from her.
