i'm not uppity, it's just simplistic comparison. Obviously I don't get why you tend to compare them so often, because Oomori chose to relate to her? They're just different stories. oomori is not hell, she's funny in her own way, but I feel a bit indifferent. i believe Ringo knows how to be innovative in her own way.

Oh man I just realised we probably haven't dodged another PV compilation seperate release- there's actually 3 PVs I can think of not represented:
IT WAS YOU, Nakata song and the Reimport PV. GODDAMNIT EMI YOU CRAFTY FUCKS EDIT: I sound like a bitter old asshole lately. For that I apologise, but are people really happy with Ringo just flat out repeating herself/releasing a Jihen ballad for this new single? Or is it just me over-reacting?

I think it's not about being 'really happy with Ringo just flat out repeating herself', I think it's the kind of time that is now. I'm just not sure if there's good understanding of this.

Yeah it's totally a Jihen ballad but I do think that it has that edge that's lacking from Jihen stuff. The album concept itself offends me the most but if this is what we're getting, I prefer this track to NIPPON, Jiyuu ni thingy, etc.

I wouldn't mind any artist repeating themselves so long as the material is worth it. Yes, it's sort of a ballad, but no, I don't think it's a rip-off of any other Jihen song.
I appreciate innovation, but it's definitely not a essential component to enjoying music to me. Like Scribble R said, the lack of an album concept under the Shiina Ringo name is the disappointing thing here. Last edited by Carlx : 2014.10.05 at 10:52 AM. |

Was there a concept beyond Sanmon Gossip?

a markedly less killer tune. Pleasant enough from "Dorehodo...." but her soft singing before that is so over-dramatic and like all her new stuff, sounds a bit overproduced. I'd be more forgiving if the last 3 years never happened.

I honestly hope she breaks away from theme. Though I love themed albums like KSK, I feel she sometimes pigeonholes herself in with strange constraints.
Some Tokyo Jihen albums and solo albums suffer because the tracklisting is based off the length of the track. In a similar way arranging songs a certain way just so they fit the album's concept can destroy the individual song. Concept albums don't generally produce good singles either. I think she's making a smart move...financially...maybe I agree with everyone after all
