Maou, you mention that this is a "double A-side." Do we know if either/both of them are on the album?

SR. It used to be her image that was controversial.
Now, it's her music that is causing us to be up in arms. She's not really a peaceful person is she?

My guess would be that only Sora ga Natteiru will be on the next Tokyo Jihen album along with Tengoku e Youkoso (and maybe Dopamint). Onna no Ko for the next solo Shiina album.

You gotta remember that we're just observers to someone else's art.
We arent entitled to anything. If theres music you're dying to hear and you arent hearing it, grab a guitar or sit in front of a keyboard and start writing. thats what drives creativity. Its been 7 years since she made the music most of us know her for. And some of us are waiting and waiting for a train thats never coming back. The torch has been passed on. I dont like showtunes either, but thats where her heart is. Thats where she's coming from in her life now, I guess? a happy happy joy joy land. Last edited by ShadyNook : 2011.02.11 at 09:20 AM. |

Note: Please please do yourself a favour and don't refer to Onna no Ko... as "jazz". It's insulting to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans and Bobby Hutcherson. Onna no Ko is more like a Broadway or Disney showtune.
Actually, I recall that SR wanted to be a songwriter for idol girl groups. I think it's a good opportunity for her to go do that now...

Fuck da pineapples. We are entitled to say something because, yes its her art, but it's also public product. If someone stole a cassette tape of this song that Shiina never intended a wide audience to hear -- then of course criticism of this level would be audacious. But as far as I know, all the music I and my brood bitch about are all published, widely available work. This means a whole committee of people said "yes, this is fit for the world to consume." So the whole "its my art you aren't entitled to jack" sentiment is lost. And to that, we can't tell her what to record and what not to, as much as we may like to. But to say we can't complain is silly. (and being happy for Coke now that it's making pineapple juice is equally silly.) And also, no showtunes or no, Princess and the Frog and Tangled were GREAT movies. And c'mon, "Almost There" was an awesome sequence!

Broadway isn't one spin-off of jazz?

Almost There was good, but then it went downhill..from there (daaaaaaaw haaaaaaaaaaaaw).
Mother Knows Best from Tangled was also good. That's it though. |
