I don't think I ever transferred the thing that freackled discovered about the Ichijuku no Hana PV, first posted in the old Ringo Jihen forums. So I'll add it to this thread here.

The date on her calender ends at September 27, which marked the end of her Sugoroku Ecstacy / Electirc Mole tour (and the end of solo Shiina Ringo):


She stands in front of a poster that has a pictuer of her with her mole still on her face. However, you can see that she doesn't have the mole anymore:


On the boat she's on, you can see her falling asleep. She's actually holding someone else's hand, though I'm not TOO sure what this is trying to convey (perhaps the mole Ringo dying away and saying goodbye?):


Shiina stands with her back faced to herself dead in the Honnou outfit, which was the character that caused her to be the most misunderstood by the general public:


HERE'S MY FAVORITE PART! A picture is shown of her as a child with the mole on her face. Notice the painting in the background is just a normal picture:


The picture is then shown again with the mole removed, and this time with a blurred picture of her in the Honnou outfit!


This is the blurred picture:
