As for lip-syncing: meh, I'm not going to listen to hearsay. Hard evidence or don't bother running mouths about it.

Kou Shibasaki preview
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/3vk4J1m2wag/

I can't really tell but it sounds both equally 'YES' and 'eh' from what I can hear here. Kinda sorta reminds me of parts of Doku Ichigo.

Better than Coke song

I like it. It's got some nice features - particularly, the chorus seems to have an interesting dissonance to it. But the vocals seemed very sedate and I think it's another one where we'll have to wait and see what Ringo herself does with it before forming an opinion.

Shibasaki Kou has never been the most interesting vocalist for me so the dissonant effect was probably a good idea. To me this sounds a lot like a Ringo B side though. Will have to listen to the full song to have a stronger opinion on this.

Could be a B-side. But then again, some of Ringo's B-sides are awesome. Time will tell, I guess.

I like the verses but the chorus just feels very weird and flat to me, like most of the stuff off Variety. And Shibasaki's voice just has basically zero personality to it. Even Chiaki sounds more interesting than she does.

Yes. But think of the alternative right now. I'll take Shibasaki's monotone over Ringo's autotune anyday of the week :-p
