Is it too optimistic to think that if Shiina Ringo were to release another solo album, it'd be Orchestra (or a variety of instruments) + Electronica instead of showtunes?
The most 'Shiina centric' songs (as in SR being credited with anything outside composition, lyrics and vocals) since KZK are 0maru chiten kara and Hatsukoi Shoujo. I also wonder if Tamatebako was initially planned to be part of the original HF (when it was an instrumental, 'highly produced' album).
Sanmon Gossip's 'gimmick' was conceived at around 2005, as confirmed
here. Now that SG's out of the way, maybe it's time to dig up those old HF demos?
I suppose everyone's too jaded to care. But it makes perfect sense to me.
