? I didn't mean the smile or lack of it, she looks like wandering. Crap, I just hate football, soccer or whatever you call it. I know it's stupid to treat it this way. I'm just interested what she would do.

No matter how it turns out, I'm looking forward to hearing the song. We don't even have a title yet and people are already complaining. Anything that means new music is better than the alternative. Besides, if I'm not mistaken... it's not very often that there is such a short interval between when something like this is officially announced and when we are able to hear it.

Kudos for originality there Ringo :-p

But there's of course nothing wrong about her getting mainstream or whatever, she does great music anyway. I'm just soccer hater and just that makes me bothered about this picture.

She was mainstream as soon as Honnou hit though, right?

She WAS mainstream around when Honnou hit, yes.
But everyone I have talked to here is that Shiina Ringo's hayday is firmly 10 years ago.
I would say she was no longer mainstream based on those impressions. And now there is a resurgence of sorts.

There is something to that "resurgence" angle. The recent announcements about Ringo's activity, especially the soccer deal, nearly always describe Ringo in terms of her 15-year anniversary.

Where is the source on the song title? I'm interested in seeing how it is written. Because it's Ringo we're talking about, I'm assuming it will be written out in Japanese instead of being romanized as Nippon. The question is which script it is written in. You can imagine how difficult it could be to look up the song with a Japanese search engine.

Thanks for the link. I'm surprised that the song is written in Roman characters even though the word is in Japanese. It's such a mainstream way to do things. I'll bet it wasn't Ringo's say. NIPPON. Huh. Well, I'm looking forward to hearing it and I'm glad that will be sooner than later.
