I can't be the only one who saw this.

Ringo Does Utada


Ringo sure can do Utada, but can Utada do Ringo?

Not So Much


She tries.

The latter wasn't exactly planned and that video is old as shit.

We weren't posting about it here, but when I found out about the Traveling and Smells like teen spirit bits on the set list, we were losing our shit. The set list leaked the night before somehow. Everyone on the internet upload the Traveling cover in oppose to everything else as well lol

Yeah, I know the Utada "cover" is old. I seen it a long time ago. And I understand the Japanese in the video so I know that she was taking requests. I was only using it because it was relevant to the other video -- now that Ringo has covered Hikki and all.

I was unaware that this even happened and was surprised when I came across the video. I thought it was an awesome find. This was just for one show? Was it that Utada was supposed to do a duet but couldn't make it because of her marriage thing? I can't understand Ringo's Japanese too well.

Not at all, I think it was simply something she wanted to do in congratulations to her friend.

Wow. Hearing Utada try to sing that Ringo part makes me appreciate Ringo all the more. I never realized it might be that difficult. Then again, Utada has never had a super strong voice.

I'd like to know Utada's reaction to Shiina covering her song.

That video of Hikki trying to do Tsumi to Batsu is what made me aware of Shiina Rungo in the first place. That's how my WHOLE OBSESSION STARTED.
Well, it took some time cause I then listened to the actual Tsumi to Batsu and kinda hated it until it grew on me : P

Tsumi to Batsu is really hard to sing right. I've tried a couple times in Karaoke and FAILED.

I remember one of our former regulars (hedo?) saying that Tsumi to Batsu was one of the easiest, most fun karaoke songs. Maybe in a group of drunkards?

I think it would be really hard to properly cover that song without seeming as if you were making fun of Ringo's singing style. If it's all in good fun and everyone knows that, I could see it being a fun karaoke track.

Can you change the key it's in to suit your voice, or are you a girl and I just never knew?
