Whoa, the song is actually pretty awesome. She's still got it!

I agree, though, with whoever said they don't like the way she processes her vocals these days. There is definitely a difference. Her...

I find it hard to believe that someone can listen to her insane wailing around the 2:20 mark and conclude that the song contains "no personality or emotion." For me those few seconds of the song have...

In defense of Tsugou no Ii Karada, I think the sound is intentionally labored, and the she is doing something more interesting with the show tune than Michael Buble, at least on that particular song....

Sorry, I'm new. :P My original argument was, I think, slightly more interesting than "what sucks about Shiina's recent output," because I do think there might be a kind of idealization of her earlier...

I shouldn't really accuse you of something I was guilty of like two posts ago, but I think you're oversimplifying. Shiina has always done plain old genre songs. What are Benkai Debussy, Identity, and...

Well you are right. I was being absurdly reductive. She's interested in just about every genre that's ever existed. I do think of jazz and classical as her primary influences because they are...

Coming from someone who typically prefers her pre-Adult stuff, I actually really dig this thing. To me it sounds like a refinement of some of the stuff she was doing in SG and HF. I even genuinely...

I am pretty firm in my belief that The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is the greatest album in existence. I've never heard anything more powerful in my life.

Joanna Newsom's Ys was another...

It's kind of surprising how many of Ringo's b-sides are better than her a-sides. Like, Remote Controller is better than most of the songs on Muzai Moratorium. Sigma and Tokyo no Hito are both better...

Anyone else really love the raspiness of Ringo's voice on this album? On a few songs it sounds like she smoked like three packs of cigarettes before recording. Like when she says "let's burn up this...

Hi guys. I'm living in Japan right now working for the JET Program. Recently discovered Shiina and am pretty much in love. My favorites are (kinda predictably) SS and KSK, but I like the first two...
