i know it from Just Can't Help It..

Masuku: TJ did Shoujou Robot during their Just Can't Help It tour.

On-topic: This song is just very bland. Or maybe I just can't be bothered anymore.

Thank you both very much!

CD Japan just announced availability on this. In the manner that all manufactured scenic jpop is whored out nowadays, there will be more than one limited (+DVD) version with the same content as each other, but different jackets. Plus there's a first-press of the nonlimited, and apparently the nonlimited has more tracks on the CD...

If it ends up sounding anything like Himitsu (Adult ver.), then I'm sold. Whatever it sounds like, it has to be better than Variety. Shiina Ringo's songwriting was a major selling point for me from the beginning of my introduction to her, and although I love her voice too, if I had to choose between the two, I would reluctantly pick her songwriting. Though Utaite Myoli was by no means a failure, the songs Shiina Ringo wrote for Tomosaka Rie were a little better (on average).

I found this livejournal TOKIO community that has news and updates for the song if anyone is interested.

I listened to the radio rip and I can't say I changed my mind- it's not a bad song but I'm not crazy over it. I wouldn't have liked it even if it were sung by Ringo.

This post has a rough translation of a comment by Ringo:
"I was really happy to get the request from TOKIO. I'm the same age as Nagase-san and our bands are made up the same way. It seems like it's not that important, but when writing and arranging the song, these similarities made way for inspiration and I had a lot of fun. I hope to have the opportunity to do this again. Thank you very much."

I hope NOT there's quite enough rubbish out there as it is!!

Such a polite manufactured Ringo message.

It's like you bate me on purpose, Shiina. Shiina is officially trolling her own fan community.

*sigh* Shiina... At least Bonnie Pink is almost as good as ever and still releasing good singles. Anyway, as much as I dislike this song, I hope Ringohime writes a song for MAX (without Jihen music).
