Wooo! I could barely get interested in this single because I already lost all hope but it turns out I love it! I hope the other song doesn't disappoint.

I almost dig the art though! If the font was anything else it would have worked.

Also, I got pretty in to the show from that clip.

No font perhaps? I guess it goes with the cover of Jiyuu e Michidzure. Someone clicked "Initialization" and got a virus of JAV apples on their screen. What am I talking about, I dunno, I just got up.

EDIT: Woah, what the fuck. Just heard a (pretty hard to hear) preview of the second song. Dance beats, dance beats everywhere. And autotuned (stylised) vocals. The hell, Ringo, some craziness still remains it seems!

Ok, so this actually doesn't sound sooooo bad. I like it. I feel like it will grow on me. It does also remind me of Remote Controller (which is a nice thing!)

Not feeling so good to hear that about the second tune. We shall see though.

Optimism! This is nice...

By dance beats, I mean Nakata (Perfume's GAME era) esque rather than 80s/Saita. Mix in Ringo trademark sound of course. See Sadistic Gossip blog to hear it.

I find the Irohanihoheto preview hilarious because I'm not sure where the song starts and where it loops/ends. Ringo tended to use a lot of news/television/announcement samples in her older works so the whole .mp3 (tv show audio included) sounds like what would happen if she went completely experimental/inaccessible with that old sound.

hey, long time no see

does anybody knows the translation of いろはにほへと? I understands it has to do with the order of Kana, but I can't figure out what にほへと means?

I love she uses the harpsichord (though maybe fake) in it

Lots of info here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iroha

For hiragana students, it's the perfect poem.

That video clip of the show looks fun, but man, what an exhausted premise.

Oh, that's cool, I didn't know about the poem.

What is the show even about? I have no clue based on the promo.
