She shoulda used the Deyonna name for this kind of gig. Sad thing is that this will probably sell more than Shiiina Ringo or Tokyo Jihen ever would :-p

Lol, SMAP.

natalie article says offers compositions
then tokyohive increased in translation to "featuring"

Just says composed on there too.

fuck tokyohive, bunch of idol wank idiots and weaboos.

That being said, one must remember Shiina gave two songs already to TOKIO, who have a close working relationship to SMAP.

inb4 Shiina Ringo is a commercial whore.

Thanks guys I edited the post. Tokyohive really do have sloppy translations....

And everytime Ringo appears in one of those music TV shows with Arashi, she always tries to hook up with one of the guys in there (can never remember is name) for a date.

Jun, who is kind of a player of you believe rumors. I think last time she did that on a show she made some fangirls angry, partly because the possibly incorrect English translation of the incident made her come off as rude.

Doesn't sound very Shiinaesque. Any videos on those "Arashi Incidents"?


@TurtleFu Funny how you're trying to scold a mainstream pop artist for "selling out". IMO she's just being realistic and trying to establish herself as songwriter/producer for her post-singing era, which is a reasonable thing to do, when you can tell you might be coming of age and still have a love for making pop-music.

Jun does look like a player, I can't imagine Shiina wanting to rob the cradl-

He's 28.

I'm not emotional prepared for this to be true if it turns out to be. My friend is pretty big on Idol pop and loves those guys, she's an avid dancer and can distinguish the quality of music realistically. She's be just as surprised about this being true.
