On my LP cover, I don't need a magnifying glass.
There's triangles on both ends, so that's not an A.

Then it says
PT25NOSR

Then there are roughly fifteen |s (or lowercase Ls or whatever) between that and the ending triangle, and there are no inconsistent thicknesses of or spacings between those lines, like with a real barcode. I'm having a very difficult time counting them because I don't have access to a magnifying glass and I have to try and move a needle between them to keep count.

So the overall string looks something like this:
ΔPT25NOSRlllllllllllllllΔ

I forgot all about the PV.
This was a good catch, Mugg.

Allright. Now, those pictures look very set up all together so this wouldn't maybe be a surprise, but, what can those possibly mean. Maybe it's just a BAR code. :-P

Is there some kind of text in the iris? It's like printed like in the outline of a coin. Or am I just seeing nothing? Clearly the eye has a cross in it also. Could be a lens, or a photoshop thing. But to me it looks like the text says something like "AFT25NOSR", and then possible some more. Wish I had a better scanner. Or a magnifying lens nearby. BTW this is not visible in all the lowresolution scans available everywhere! You all should look at your booklets to see for yourself, and use magnifying glass.

What comes to mind is. 25 NO could be 25 Novembre, and SR is Shiina Ringo. 25 Novembre is the birthday of Ringo, as we all know by heart, eh? EH???

I'd like to compare this with another closeup of Ringo's eyes, just to make sure she doesn't always have something that looks like text in them. *goes looking*


It's PT25NOSR. Pure Tonight 25. November Shena Ringo.
You can see it from 'Mayonaka wa Junketsu' P/V too.
The letter looking like 'A' is '△', which lie on left and right side symmetrically.

Allright, so "pure tonight". Wonder why Ringo seems to have to be polylingual about many titles.

Hmm, I guess "Pure Tonight" is the 'official Ringo translation' of "Mayonaka wa Junketsu" then!

I love finding out all these cool things about everything

Quote about this single from an interview with Ringo in Japan Times Online.

Shikano – asks if Mayonaka wa Junketsu was written during this period [when she was pregnant]
SR – says that she had written it a long time ago, before she even debuted
Shikano – “But the third song [on the single]--”
SR – “Aisaika no Choushoku [Breakfast for a devoted husband]? I think I wrote that around the time of Gekokujo, I guess. It wasn’t that old. So maybe about six months before it came out. I wasn’t thinking about marriage at all at the time I wrote the song.”
Shikano – “But it was kinda weird how everything added up, though, with the timing and all.”
SR – “Yeah, yeah, it was kind of funny.”

Are you going to add information like the stuff present to your site? Someone should make a site with a ton of this Ringo finromation. There is just too much to follow.

Actually, I've been thinking about that... I could have that as my summer vacation project I'd love some help with gathering the information though.
