36. Any superstition that you've believed in all your life?
A: I make a lot of demos but it's not exactly an everyday kind of existence. You have to be free, from whatever. (I don't quite get this)

37. Although you don't see this on an everyday basis, is there a hidden side to your personality?
A: I believe that I show all parts of myself in each, different situation.
ーーーthere's a followup question that I don't quite get; think it's about avoiding the question? Or answering vaguely?
A: There was when I first started out! Even though i've tried hiding this in the past, <something something>. There are time, with Jihen, that I've had to be like "Guys, we HAVE to do this!"

38. Any bad habits or quirks that you've had since the past?
A: Answering questions vaguely? (lol)

44. Rate your athleticism on a scale of 5.
A: About 3. <and some followup explanation i dont quite get>
27. She says she never wants to drink another drop of alcohol, even though she is a granddaughter of a sake dealer.

36. The question is if she does anything like in the song Chichin pui pui (an incantation) on the album. She says she does when she starts doing demos but not in her everyday life.

37. The follow up is "By the way, when you were asked that question before, your ready answer was that you were 'happy-go-lucky'."
I think the Jihen part is: "With Jihen I felt, wrongly, that 'I need to stand firm'." (that is, keep her guard up)

38A. This is why I hide my carefree attitude.

44A. I think I can do it myself but at the critical moment I always fail (athletically).

I'm a big fan Matsuura Aya.

I can kind of see now that Onna no Ko wa Dare demo is the crappy jazzy remake of this haha:

Aya Matsuura - Ne~e

Music Station


Well, there's the Music Station performance.

Sounds like playback.

She said on Music Station that on that trip they went to see Ichiro play baseball, got shown around the city by Kenji Ozawa, and visited Akiko Yano's house.

Where? Her voice? You can hear the imperfections and differences vs. the recording.

Yeah, the band's probably playback but those are live vocals for sure.

How can you pretend to play a piano and drums with no sound coming out of them? Seems strange to have Shiina actually singing, but not the band actually playing. "Well, Shiina can risk screwing up, but you guys can't." I'll never understand the logic behind that.

Thanks for posting this! Yeah, TJ used to play their instruments noticeably off-key because they would get frustrated with not being allowed to play live on Music Station. We talked about it on a topic here a few years back, but I'm not sure who mentioned it. The vocals are most definitely live, though. In fact, I don't really think this is a very good performance from SR... however, I love her attitude and DAT WIG.
