Nice! Thanks for the mora.jp info!

As far as DRM goes, all of the hi-res audio listings that I see on mora.jp are FLAC files, so no DRM. Unless there's some kind of DRM'd version of FLAC that I don't know about.

I hope the price isn't too insane. I'd like to get Heisei in FLAC too. I remember there was a hi-res release of it in the past, but it was DRM'd WMA files.

Already answered but they come in FLAC so should be free from protections! This is also my time to finally snag that Heisei Fuuzoku album as well that I heard was also up for sale.

I checked my card and realized there was no money in it. I had to run and do that this morning so I can be ready to buy these tomorrow morning (GMT) when the cash shows up. That's going to delay my physical version of Sunny by a few days, too. Took my eye off the ball there...

Dat spur of the moment Advanced Warfare purchase is already haunting me.

Press "F" to refund.

I heard that someone is sharing mora.jp's high quality audio file on the Internet lately, and the audio files are untouched as the post stated.

p.s. the new album is out in FLAC (CD, not high quality) form, find it if you can

Huh?
The only audio I could find at mora.jp related to Shiina Ringo, were AAC files. I see 96/24bit FLACs for other artists, but none for her. Not for the new album, nor for HF (and there'd be no reason to delay the availability of HF). Can you link to an example?

It's true, I think it said on Kronekodow that HF was coming out alongside Sunny. In two hours or so theyll be there.

Yeah:

Ringo outdid herself with the sequencing on this... album flows really well considering how eclectic it is.

JL005 is really good.

She is now honorary shop manager of Tower Records Shinjuku so she tagged the shop:

Couldn't wait for my CD to arrive and so I gave in and snooped around and found it. Opinions pending~

ADDENDUM:

First thoughts:
Track 1: Horns and Guitar work = superb, LOVE how she handles the verses. I love her doing this sort of Showakyoku/enka-esque sort of stuff. Also can someone please point me to the origins of this track in her history? It's KILLING me that im not getting it!

Track 2: The way track 1 segues into Jiyuu is FANTASTIC given how different both tracks are. Loved this song from day 1, nothing has changed.

Track 3: Flutes are cute; rotating between the opening for this song and Iroha for my ringtone. I think I liked this song a lot more after watching the CDTV live and seeing the lyrics - it's really a song Of The Moment (2014) in terms of the metaphors and references she draws.

Track 4: This was my favourite song based on the previews. I love how effortlessly she's pulling off the samba.

Track 5: Again, that's some flawless track transition. This might be my favourite song of hers in English. The strings here work magnificently with the guitar. This needs to be the soundtrack to a Bond movie, or some noir-mood perfume commercial, or something. Worth mentioning that so far all the album tracks have been giving me major ADULT vibes.

Track 6: The opening really reminds me of Fools Rush In by Bow Wow Wow. (gods its 3.25am here and I'm up FML Ringo you consume my life). Cute banzai "Ringo!" moments. One of the more forgettable tracks for me so far.

Track 7: I kind of wish she had kept the English lyrics, which is very rare for me cos 99% of the time I prefer her singing in Japanese. I actually think her Toutaikai vocal performance might be slightly better.

Track 8: I really love this song on its own when it came out as a single but it oddly feels a bit misplaced here? This is weird cos in terms of composition and arrangement it's probably more consistent with the new tracks as compared to, say, Jiyuu e. Maybe it's something with its placement in the track order.

Track 9: Like the song but am sliiightly starting to resent that it got single status with a music video. Tracks 1, 3, 4, 5 were all stronger choices for me.

Track 10: Least favourite of all the singles here. Still don't like it. Skip.

Track 11: LOVE this version of Kodoku. Heads and shoulders better than the single version, even with its ridiculous auto tune. The electronic embellishments are really great. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or innovative by any stretch, but it's really such fun to listen to.

Track 12: NIPPONBARE!

Track 13: Perfect closer.

Similar to SG in terms of variety (though the "rock" to "jazz" -- i use those terms loosely --ratio is alot more balanced on this one), but a lot of the composition and arrangement reminds me of ADULT. First half is a lot stronger than the second. In fact first half is some of her best writing and production yet, even if you consider it independently.

I don't know, I kinda wish she had left out a couple of singles -- maybe CARNATION and NIPPON? And put on a couple of her self covers from Re-import instead, cos the nu-showa/rock/jazz/pop schtick she was doing there is clearly carried through here. I'm gonna give it a couple more listens in the morning. Nights!
