Translated Interviews?

haha, well, I guess she just loves to duet with people she gets along well.

And I TOTALLY understand that... there's nothing better than standing on stage and singing with somebody you can really connect to.

just remember when they're talking about "e-mails" it actually means texts on phones, not on computers.

You know, I've always wondered what Ringo's opinion of I-no and Daisuke Ishiwatari in general is. I'm sure she knows I-no is a direct reference to her.

I wonder if Shiina is a little sadistic when putting others to sing. She is always pushing her Jihen conrades to sing, she almost drove Tokio's singer insane with that high pitch in Amagasa and now pushing Mummy-D to a normal duet...

Karaoke reference in end of talk with Mummy-D

Ishihara Yujiro & Makimura Junko - Ginza no Koi no Monogatari(Love Story in Ginza) 1961

Hiroshi & Kiibo - Sannenme no Uwaki(An affair in 3rd year) 1982

* "Amai Yamai" the dividing force for making solo * 4:35-6:00

SR "Paticipation on Amai Yamai was big opportunity to make me motivated
regardless of form or story with Tokyo Jihen.
I must do before it is too late.
Thank you for contribution on 2 songs."
MD "I received passionate e-mail in mid-night."
SR "What kind of e-mail from me?"
MD "'Please put D-san's voice to this!'"
SR "'passion' again?"
MD "'passion' again.
'If possible I want your voice before mine, and it is 1st song of the album.'
No! It's no good. no good.
In addition to my worry of Chekeraccho(Check it out y'all) enter to Shiina Ringo's world."
SR "You said it. 'Is Chekeraccho alright?'"
MD "No good. It's too much for me.
My voice in a Shiina Ringo's solo album after a long time.
No good. Well, it's already going to release (laugh)."
SR "(laugh)"

* Sanmon Gossip 1st song Ryuukou, catchy rap from the begining * 6:00-6:30

SR "It's good, isn't it?
It suceeded, making listener's sense flat, getting rid of preconception.
I think it good."
MR "I think it's good too."
SR "(laugh)"
MD "(laugh) I thought this person did good job. Lyrics is good too."

* exchange about Ryuukou lyrics * 6:30-7:20

MD "Talked sorts of men and women, fixing haziness, searching conclusion.
Initially I can't figure out meaning of title "Vogue". Is this a new kind of harassment
like 'you are just a vogue in me for now'"
SR "Why? It's not"
MD "'Is this cheating me?'"
SR "Initially I asked entire lyrics including my part. Sorry."
MD "It's no good. I said lots of 'No Good'."
SR "Becuase I wanted to figure delicate point, I talked difficult theme."

[Scribble R]

You can't disagree with Shiina's statement there, considering how many people did a 360 (Or er, 180) on Vogue when SG finally came out. =P

* activities we want do together after this * 7:20-8:45

SR "I want to sing normal song."
MD "Eh? Me sing? No good. I'm not good at singing actually."
SR "You sing something like a song this time. 'Nan Nano Sa'."
MD "Ah so, it's my limit."
SR "Let's sing. "
MD "I can't sing."
SR "I want singing duet.
A modern version of Gin Koi (Ginza no Koi no Monogatari). Let's do it."
MD "Isn't it going to like Golden Gai?"
SR "It won't, if together with D-san. Let's do it."
MD "Oh, tough things again."

MD "I wan't a composition."
SR "Then sing together. Duet.
Something like Sannen me no Uwaki looks easy. That kind looks good."
MD "I said I sing Michinoku Hitori Tabi in karaoke.
Jupei-kun's also good at it."
SR "It's like his specialty."

Hey, I don't often post here, but it would be great if you guys could point me in the direction of some translated interviews. Most of the links from older topics no longer exist.
