I don't mind Kono Ya no Kagiri so much either, and I am a fan of Adult. But I don't think they grab me as much as the majority of the stuff prior to them, so I'll go with Maou's choice of Sounan. As much as I like Adult, it didn't really have a major stand-out track that I adore as much as I did Shiina's solo work or a track or two off Kyouiku.

Well, if you consider OSCA a Ringo song, then OSCA. I will never, never, ever understand the OSCA haterz, or even the OSCA 'meh'-erz. *
That alternate version of Tasogare naki on the Adult video is really well done. I dunno if it's "classic", but it's got a great little NRBQ-ish vibe going on. * edit: The merits or lack thereof of OSCA pretty obviously was hashed to death here before my time, so sorry for treading back over a well-beaten path that everyone else is probably completely sick of going down. But still. I mean, seriously. That song's up there with the very best of her pre-Jihen tunes (excepting KZK) -- back when it seemed like she just reached down into a bag, picked out all sorts of different styles, and figured out a way put them all togetIt'sher into a big messy blob of pure awesomenes. You've got your Red-era King Crimson pointy prog angularity, you've got your spasmo hyper-caffeinated funk bass line, you've got your nasty-ass Japanese female punk screeching. What's not to like?

Well if we're talking about songs; my vote goes to Sakuran. I think it'd be right at home in the Mayonaka single, which it seems many agree is the best single in Ringo's career.
HF Gamble, Hatsukoi Shoujo, and Karisome Otome deserve mention too; if those 4 songs would have been a separate release, I would have considered it top tier.

and I'd have Kingyo no hako as a SR quality song if in its very end (after the start of the guitar solo) it didn't remind me so strongly L'arc. but it does... don't know why.

If this was the Last Ringo coolest song(s) thread, I'd pick "OSCA", but, since it's a cover and it's by TJ, I won't.
As some of you said, "Kono Yo no Kagiri", the whole single, would be my last classic one. Although that, "Mayonaka wa Junketsu" will ever be my favorite single . |

For Ringo Classic I should choose Kyoiku with its DO. I still love Shiina's style afterward but for a Classic Ringo i Don't think There are anything Than that set.
As for the solo I second freckle. It just marvelous

I had a small get-together over the weekend and had OSCA and Killer Tune on the playlist (mixed in with all that hip-hop and hipster pop w/ cred) and they were well-received. I half-expected a comment like "Ew what is this Chinese music?" or "Ew if I can't understand the words I can't hit the floor on all fours" being that my 2 Live Crew averages an age of 21, so I was surprised that we were all getting into the music.
... ... ... (the tequila doubleshots helped some)
