I can imagine that song being another Ringo Izawa duet. As in SSAW =X
I dunno. All the non-music things we know about the album so far (broken symmetry, track titles, album title, album cover) indicate something new and different, but the tracks we've heard do not. This album must be different from Sports in some way (as opposed to same general concept with different songs) and I wonder how. Last edited by Scribble R : 2011.06.01 at 02:38 PM. |

well in the states, many people call that stuff "elevator music" or what plays on the intercom in the waiting room of the auto dealership while you're waiting to have your tires changed. Not a bad kind of music. I love bossa nova and that gets lumped into that same classification. oh well!

I'd be surprised if Un Homme Et Une Femme is actually a cover song though. It's probably a homage. Btw, I'm thinking that Welcome to Heaven For the Tube IS one of the versions we've already heard. Tube = Television (or the London Underground haha) Last edited by Scribble R : 2011.06.01 at 04:35 PM. |

Does anybody else not see how huge of a deal it is that his album has no symmetry at all?
For 11 years Shiina has maintained symmetry on all of her albums (and even some of her singles!). This album has no symmetry whatsoever. I don't know, I feel like this is very, very significant. |

if you want to read more into it, it looks like a phoenix emerging from dust. Sanmon gossip type of music is no longer off-limits for the band to play based on "Onnanoko daredemo" (and that album didnt even get a tour) so maybe this is a reinvention of what kind of band they are. i wont believe it until i hear the whole thing though. I've managed to stay hype-free this far, so I'm not going to have crazy expectations that only set me up for disappointment. |

My mind didn't register the lack of text!
I'm not confident that they can live up to all the 'imagery' through eight songs, but yeah -- we'll see. |

What are people talking about no symmetry? The Japanese titles are symmetrical, no? Im looking at it here- who cares if the translations are symmetrical or not
01 - 天国へようこそ For The Disc 02 - 絶対値対相対値 03 - 新しい文明開化 04 - 電気のない都市 05 - 海底に巣くう男 06 - 禁じられた遊び 07 - ドーパミント! BPM103 08 - 恐るべき大人達 09 - 21世紀宇宙の子 10 - かつては男と女 11 - 空が鳴っている 12 - 風に肖って行け 13 - 女の子は誰でも BT - 天国へようこそ For The Tube Looks pretty damn symmetrical to me (if you take away the BPM 103/ignore For the... parts) Last edited by deadgrandma : 2011.06.01 at 06:56 PM. |

It's not symmetry. It's just that all the titles have the same number of characters. The types of characters and the grammar used is not symmetrical.
Even the official English translations of all her other albums were loose because she wanted to maintain symmetry. Last edited by TurtleFu : 2011.06.01 at 07:09 PM. |
