Soccer Ringo

I think that assumption that someone doesn't see bigredspot or whatever other tag in their own work is ridiculous. Regarding this song i have no idea what's so bad about it. It fits the theme.

Here's the CDTV performance. Segment starts at 24:15 with a short SR interview, then song at 25:07

A little more liveish this time as Ringo's mic's on the whole time. It sounds like she's singing along with the backing track from the disc. Drumming may have been live as well. Seems like everyone else is miming. Guitar solo got cut for time purposes

So it seems NIPPON will be played once an hour for the duration of the World Cup at Family Marts across Japan.

My sympathy to all Family Mart workers :-p

Darn it. That could have been the title announcing a WORLD TOUR -- or an all-English album.

I bothered to check out the apps website/browser version, it's pretty cute seeing all the fans at home who have sent in clips. Other that, it's pretty whatever.

Oh man I really LOVE her hair/clothes/everything here!

Still, fucken playback. Ban that shit.

She better do a legit version on her arena tours... I reckon with a little tweaking you could tear the roof off with that song.

A couple of fun little tidbits from the liner notes of the CD:

The backing band for NIPPON is given the title of '37564'. There's a form of Japanese wordplay called goroawase that makes words out of a series of numbers. '37564' turns into "mi na go ro shi", or 皆殺し. This means "massacre" or "annihilation" in English (the Kanji in the word are "Everyone" and "Kill").

For the b-side track, Sakasa ni Kazoete, the backing band is called '893'. '893' is goroawase for "Yakuza".
