Default Ringo commited a war crime/her remix album

Cause it wasn't covered here from what I can tell


Shiina Ringo was meant to have a remix album released on November 30, entitled "Hyakuya no Cho"


The Universal special edition was meant to come with a choice of merch, including one that represented the Japanese help mark. In short, Japanese people went OFF, outlining that it is illegal to reproduce it, technically a war crime, and the Tokyo Government stepped in.


Now, the merch is being changed and the album has been delayed to a date of "to be confirmed" with no further updates.


The remix album itself is sorta interesting because of it's participant list:



"Participating artists from Japan are Ajino Namerou, Ishino Takkyu, KID FRESINO, Okamura Yasuyuki, Ovall, Osawa Shinichi, STUTS, and Sunahara Yoshinori. Additional artists include Gilles Peterson and object blue from England, Miso from South Korea, and Telefon Tel Aviv from the United States. The remix of "Ishiki ~Consciously~" by Osawa will feature Daoko as well."


For now, the release sits in limbo and I am guessing it won't see light of day until 2023.
