Why is he doing this? Is he living and recording in Japan a la Marty Friedman? If so I assume it's not intended for a western audience, else I would have gave him props for doing something like this even if the cover will likely be god awful. But since it likely won't be heard outside of Japan and a very select few Westerners I guess it won't have any sort of effect aside from just being bad. Not that I would have expected it to create an influx of Shiina interest... he is an ex-member of Allister after all, not Bono.
I always thought Thom Yorke would appreciate Ringo. KZK at the very least. I think he could do some mean Ringo covers. If somebody was to introduce him to Shiina and he liked KZK, he'd no doubt blog about it on Dead Air Space or mention her somewhere. That would actually get her a lot of exposure. Shame I can't force Thom Yorke to listen to KZK a few times.
