Ringo posted the following to her Facebook feed about her performance - can anyone help translate?

I'd put Sunny and Sanmon Gossip on equal level tbh. Sanmon Gossip gets caught up in flights of fancy a bit too often while Sunny seems to have a goal in mind.

Really cant agree. Sunny never feels like it had any ambition to me, just two EPs slapped together.
SG is it's own thing and plays like an album. Flights of fancy > Laziness any day. If theres anything good from this album.... I can understand the pain of the Variety haters now, but at least that hate spawned from Jihen trying something new.

Let's see if I'm anywhere near close. Arggh, this is really formal speech, which is my weak point.
"Thank you for watching last night's 'Music Station Super Live 2014'. Here is a comment from Shiina Ringo: I am grateful for all your concerns. Last night's sentimental number continuation, I reflexively pressed on with my strained voice because I saw everyone's anticipation. I'm sorry. The person inside of me is satisfactory in both tone and mood [ed: what?]. There was also some tech trouble. Anyhow, thank you for your continued patronage." I'm still terrible at translating, even then I understand what she's trying to say. |

Glad my patronage is appreciated! Even with two children to raise, Ringo is still very nice to her clients and keeps up her high level of service. I don't care if she's drunk, she still looks classy. Wonderful, enterprising lady!

An opinion I'm perfectly entitled to. I don't find these many similarities between Sunny and SG as you guys do, I honestly think the two are quite different. Thinking KSK is her best album, is again, an opinion. For me MM and Shoso Strip are her best works and the following albums are not quite up there - still great though. I like early Ringo just for the raw power and the kind of roughness which newer records lack. On Sunny there's 静かなる逆襲 and Jiyuu which kind of remind me of the Ringo I fell in love with + there's Ariamaru Tomi which is like modern day Izonshou.

Did you listen to Sunny first before SG? I'm genuinely surprised at your opinion putting it above SG like that. I know it's opinions and all that, but I can't fathom it and I'm not sure that anybody is going to agree. It doesn't compute. Especially when it's best track is a SG-era cut. |

When it comes to SG - Sunny comparison, they are on similar level but I guess Sunny has more songs which click with me. It might change after some time. |

For me MM is her best album, no contest.
I don't understand the SG/SUNNY comparisons, again, but they are enjoyable in different ways to me . . . SUNNY has a bit more of a thematic coherence to me, I guess, if you like that sort of thing. |

What's not to understand about the SG/Sunny comparisons? They are both Ringo's jazzy albums, SG songs have lush arrangement whereas Sunny songs focus on being accessible.
