2011-2012 Jihen Releases & Tour Discussion

Do you know who she looks like in that ad? The female lead in Densha Otoko TV drama.

I also thought she looked like Chiaki Kuriyama in the Yami ni Furu Ame hallway bits.

The pictures instantly bring Adult to mind, but I don't think Phase 2 doing Adult from scratch would necessarily sound like Adult.

This album concept looks cheerful.

Cold, bleak virgins.

I'm digging the subdued vintage fashion. TJ needs to take itself more seriously, I think. Also, I think we need to make Jihad's Uki troll face an emoticon...

Shiina does not look Misaki Ito on that ad but I see why that was stated...Dopamint was also a good song. Singer's Luck Vol.2 would be nice...I think I'm leaning towards some Fiona Apple covers too now actually. Extraordinary Machine screams Shiina cover me.

I'm obviously lacking Shiina Ringo-related knowledge here, but what is that you are talking about? I like that song enough just not to keep this doubt alive.

He's referring to the hallway parts on the Yami PV I think, and yeah, you're right, Scribble!

Shiina Ringo will model for Shiseido's "Maquillage" CM, theme is "virgin". The song in the cm will be the one wrote by Ringo "onna no ko wa dare demo", in a scene she will sing the new song a capella in a white desert, it will be aired from February 20th on. Ringo will be featured on the "a capella pure white skin" CM. The white desert is the famous White Sand in New Mexico, USA. The worn clothes will be released, and she will be back as a "purity" (virgin?) pattern, as a brand new rebirth. Ringo is the vocal of the 5 member band Tokyo Jihen who started the production of a new album from the beginning of this year on. The CM song "onna no ko wa daredemo" is the 1st release towards this and will be featured on the new single "sora ga natteiru/onna no ko wa daredemo" to be released feb 23th.
