I have shitty sound on my computer/less than remarkable earphones, but it's definitely not an end user thing.
I've watched up to Sigma so far. This has to be the best version of the song. And that includes the demo. About her voice -- I strongly disagree that voice has gotten WORSE over the years. Her singing is just extremely unpredictable. In this show, her singing is generally not up to par. I think she sounded great in Ultra C and in Toutokai. The Harbour concert and this one is not good. In Dynamite Out and Expo 08 she was kind of screechier than normal. It really just depends on the song and the concert. |

The MANGARAMA line-up is very... well-balanced? Whatever it is, I can't remember the last time I watched a concert and was completely fine with sitting through the entire setlist. Even in stuff like Toutaikai that crew hit a few speed bumps on less-popular songs, but here they're able to add some much needed flourish to some of the flatter or one-dimensional studio offerings without being overbearing like Neko and the Pimps.
2. やさしい哲学 yasashii tetsugaku Man, legit forgot this song even existed. Nice arrangement. 5. 労働者 roudousha The song always felt incomplete... until the horn section attacked. 9. 現実を嗤う genjitsu wo warau 12. とりこし苦労 torikoshi kurou 14. ブラックアウト blackout 15. 迷彩 meisai 18. 警告 keikoku 19. マヤカシ優男 mayakashi yasaotoko 20. 名うての泥棒猫 naute no dorobouneko 21. 真夜中は純潔 mayonaka wa junketsu 22. 御祭騒ぎ omatsuri sawagi 23. 長く短い祭 nagaku nijikai matsuri Not saying these lives completely ruined their album counterparts for me, but even with the seemingly handicapped sound recording it's still really tempting to rip MP3s of these and netsuai to replace or add back to the playist. 11. 熱愛発覚中 netsuai hakkakuchuu first half: i guess we about that cosplay lounge idol life now second half: from the hospital to the red light district I'd buy a blu-ray of this concert with the true full setlist and some semblance of better audio quality, even if somehow the songs left off were magically mediocre (six songs aren't a complete dealbreaker unless they completely shit on Kyougenshou or something). |

This concert is really growing on me. It must have been incredible to see live. I'm SO envious of those who got to see her on tour!

Has she really only had minimal vocal training? You would think that if someone's job is to sing, they would invest a lot more time in making sure the tool for their job is as perfect as it could be.

Quality and technique aside, the big reason for a professional vocalist like Shiina Ringo to properly train their voice is so that they don't damage it. Again pure speculation on my part, but I think this is what has happened to her. Also the smoking can't have helped.

Even though I did see this tour live (not the broadcasted concert) it's been absolutely killing me to read everyone comments about watching it again. There are so many little details missed that I want to see again. I love the new dimension and maturity that the brass instruments bring to the music too. When she played Σ I wondered whether this was a message to any fans unsure about the new band. At the concert I also thought the sound was a bit flat, but I attributed it to my poor (far away) seat, my own ears, the venue, etc. I didn't know there was a long running issue with the sound until I joined this forum. |
