So this is the EM/DO/JCHI to Houden's KZK/Kyouiku/Adult. Cool

Considering to pre-order. Thanks kuroneko!

Pre-ordering this for sure, great news kuroneko!

This is awesome news, especially the encore. Shoujo Robot (the original) was a great song, but its B-Sides were even better. Plus there's Sakana, and an unabridged Remote Controller? This setlist is serious win. Normally I'd be all materialistically intrigued about the first-press goodies, but this time I'm too excited about the music to care.

Omg.
*bought*

There is something going on with Ringo.
Mellow PV, solo concert this summer, gold-era DVD release... HMMMMMMMMMMM.

Then again, maybe it's just "goodies" to comemorate the 10th.
Thank you for the info kuro_neko, anyway.

Wooo I cannot wait for this!!
I love Nihon Ni Umarete, so to hear Shiina sing it will be awesome!!:wub:

Thanks KN. Ordered! I am confused by the information below, though, but maybe it was your use of "are", "was", and "yet". Does one of the more psychotically informed members know who was in the band?

@natsume:
Vocals & guitar: Shiina Ringo
guitar: Yayoshi Junji
Bass: Seiji Kameda
Keyboard: Minagawa Masato
Drums: Muraishi Masayuki
I think.

So they kept all this footage from us for all these years? :P

oh, haha, sorry, I didn't notice that, I had pulled up the japanese wiki and was midst translating the names but got lazy and decided to just post kameda and I'd come back to it later, but NCORE beat me too it, thanks, I'm going to steal your info and edit the post if you don't mind XD
