I love izawa compositions... that Ringozawa duo would be perfect for me!

in yahiko's defence its probably just habit. I know that if I use furigana one way and then find out I'm wrong I'll absentmindedly use my original guess.

I like Ringo Izawa compositions too. I think its interesting how he has all these rumors circulating about his departure and bad relationship with Ringo. Makes you wonder if this is a send off album or if he just has better compositions this time. In his defense, didn't a lot of the forum that downloaded his last Appa release like it better than SG? I seem to recall reading that.

edit: cdjapan has high res artwork, you can really see how detailed the medal is (I wonder if they actually made it or if they plan on making replicas of some sort for the tour, XD). for the emboss case I think the high res picture gives you a general idea of what will be embossed and how it will look. This is either photorealistic or really well done

here's one with larger dimension that I got from a Chinese site:


I'm new to the forum ^^(actually not new, just that i've never spoken before...
I became a Ringo fan in the winter of 2008, right before EXPO came out.
I'm not that good at English so please bear with me ^^ thx

I think it'll be interesting because it's the first time Ringo has been credited with joint composition (Where it matters, at least).

I really like Izawa and think the way he makes music is interesting but I wish that he would tone down the circus sound.

Oh, I wouldn't say 'a lot' of people preferred Rashipoki over SG, but I did. It was a pleasant surprise, even if the circus sound took centre stage. Lately I've been warming up to Petrolz -- pity about Uki's vocals, but they have a few solid songs.

Petrolz

It's scary how much Ringo looked like him recently...

And although this has been floating (hur hur) the forum, for people who missed it:

OSCA

His voice is horrible, but the rest of it is interesting compared to the TJ version

And I'll be angry if Sports is a send-off album for Izawa. If he's leaving the band, he should just get the fuck out. I don't see why Ringo is saying things like 'we've found our sound now' if Izawa is leaving.

This Sports-era has been VERY Izawa-centric though, which is weird.

My girlfriend will probably like the album. After totally not liking Ringo for 8 or 9 years, she told me yesterday that she really likes the new song and then said 'oh yeah and that senkou shojou song too'. I dont really get what is similar about them but those are the only Ringo songs she likes and theyll both be on the album.

yes yes, as kuro said it was the habit.. i read your explanation and understood that, and agreed also! I was just staring at the kanjis, when they told me they wanted to be read as 'sen' ;_; I just couldn't not please them y_y


Amazon has an even better quality of the jackt! and Rashipoki is really, really nice...

it just dawned on me that the symbols are whistles...
