Well, thanks to Frecklegirl, I also have a ticket for the 14th. This will be my first live attendance, so the price is no problem.
And yeah, that's next week! |

Ringohan suggests that the tour goods will be something like:
Tshirt Towel Clear file (plastic folder) Sticker iPhone case A stamp book (?) Flag Bag/purse Shirt Pants Haori (formal Japanese coat) I'm really, really excited to see these (especially the shirt-pants-haori, since I feel like they'll be a set) and my wallet hopes the designs are worth the money I'm ready to shell out for them. Ringohan also noted that there could (read: will be?) be more added. I was really impressed with the scarves from Expo14 (so much that I bought one for my mother as well just so it would be within the family) so I'm hoping for similar levels of design that go beyond just your regular concert goods...

She's writing/producing/arranging another theme song, this time for the upcoming anime series Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū. It's being performed by voice actress Megumi Hayashibara (Rei Ayanami from Evangelion).

I was way into Megumi before I got interested in Shiina Ringo. This is just incredible! It's enough to make up for 1,000 Coke songs! Don't expect much in terms of vocals, though. She's a great voice actress, but Ringo on her worst day (and here I'm thinking of NIPPON from last year's Music Station Super Live) is a 10X better singer. Not exaggerating.

Togawa wrote songs for Asuka (Yuko Miyamura)
Ringo writes song for Rei This will be interesting. However, animu tie in is always a risk. Anime usually dictates sound. Not always, but usually.

Since the show is about rakugo (traditional comedic story-telling; the original is written by an artist I really admire, too) and set in the Showa era, I expect nothing but good things and an eventual self-cover

I looked up Megumi's other songs. Man, Ringo really has a penchant for choosing people with no character whatsoever to sing her giveaway songs...

^ think of it like an artist working with a blank canvas
(I personally think all of the singers she chooses have interesting vocal inflection, but are not necessarily great singers, which I'm very okay with)
