PWND. Add Maou to my pier of pwnmnt -- for pwning Shiina (I guess)
You forgot to add "More Papayas & Mango or Lady is a tramp."

Judging by the venue size its either gonna be more showtunes crap (ie "retirement".) Or an acoustic kinda deal. If its acoustic, I really hope its the good kind and not the bad (ie, just droning quiteness).

Shiinas definately on a tear of "whoops!" lately, satarting with Adult Video and of course culminating in HF. I'm really hoping she snaps her streak, however, I'm not ready to hold my breath.

Thanks for the good news :-)
Curiously I was planning to go to Japan in Octover or November as long as I recover from an stupid illness that I have before summer, so I can work somewhere to get the money...So, I doubt I'll be there but who knows.
And let's see how TJ's sound evolves.

I am more excited than excitement itself. I'm not sure I can wait until July though. Hopefully if I die soon, it'll at least be after this single and the album come out.

Maybe the next album would be "Mid Life crisis", then SR would go and write some experimental/electronic rock songs (sigma any one?), drive a Lotus Elise and date younger man?

There nothing I can type to express how happy I am right now, the problem is I have to wait for it's release. I hope it mixes the jazz style she got from her daddy and the rock style she had in her youth.

The way it will work is you will get a number based on when you bought your ticket and before you entire the hall you line up in numerical order. Thus, those who buy first get low numbers and get in first. Once your inside, its general admission.

That being said, the last time Ringo has played a show this small that was open to the public (not counting Ringohan) was probably before Shouso Strip era, so this is a fairly big deal.

As for material, if the reworked version of Mirrorball is any indication I can see more electronic/f-ed up stuff. Think Oiran and Hatsukoi Shoujo. Very electronic.

2000 is a small show? Are you sure? I'd say that most TJ shows are around 1000 people (excluding the show I saw at Osaka-jo Hall), so this "live house" tour will probably play to audiences of 700 people or less.

TJ played a show around the time of their first single in a small live house. While I wasn't into TJ at that point, I do recall seeing an ad where they were playing at Chicken George in Kobe which must hold about 500 people.

I'm laughing at "Retirement" and "Mid-life crisis".

[HEDOfloe]

I love all this positive attitude!! </sarcasm>

[Tokyo Jihad]

We were waiting for Hedo to balance things out

The last time I was positive about an upcoming album for a band I love, St anger came out. Lets all stay negative should we?
