I'm actually kind of disappointed this one isn't real.

I keep forgetting that this forum is back so I just check JPS.

To add to the circlejer making fun of ringo here: https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/H21SlxcPn...04788540842048

That link above might not work for everyone but if it was the peformance of the single it works here.


Ringo's performance was pretty lame and stiff.


Miyamoto though, stole that show and absolutely SHAT on her 'classy' veneer.


Bet he won't be asked back to work with her ever again.

Looks like tt requires registration?

His vocals were terrible but he made up for it with enthusiasm and showmanship. Ringo was wallpaper. Idk how she's not tired of the chiffon queen contrasted with black suit wearing man aesthetic already.

The Japanese music industry is a little too intense in my opinion. Forcing a man to sing while going through a seizure is wicked rude.

Your undisguised glee at this is funny.

Here's something a little bit more interesting from the Japanese media, an article actually criticizing her for becoming too safe and boring, and whilst have been invited to Kouhauku 5 years in a row, really has nothing to show for it worldwide:

Good to see that I'm not the only one bitching

Interesting. I always felt her western fanbase tended to be more critical overall of recent output, but if Japanese media is calling her out at this point that says a lot. Still, who's to say she's beholden to what the media thinks? She seems comfortable.

Also via Google Translate... "Shiina is a relatively conservative existence for a sharp artist, it can be said that it is a cheap pie without unnecessary halation from viewers," a media official. Anyone know what the exact quote says? Haha. Thanks dg for the tl;dr
