New Ringo Shiina Solo Work?
Is this...is this true? Are we really going to get two new Ringo Shiina singles?
And then a new album?
Ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha ha!
Mwahahahahahaha!
Awesome.
Here's the story, for those of you too lazy to click the darn link:
There's a movie coming out in Japan in February called Sakuran, directed by photographer Mika Ninagawa and based on a manga by Myoko Anno. Ringo Shiina has been recruited as Music Director. In addition to putting together the soundtrack to the film, she also composed two new songs for it. Not only that, but she'll also be releasing an entire album based around the film (which will not be the soundtrack, apparently) on February 21st.
This is epic news. I am coming to really enjoy Tokyo Jihen, but it is almost impossible to top Ringo Shiina's solo work. I am ecstatic to be getting more, even if it's only a one-time thing. I mean, have you listened to Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana? It is a masterpiece. Or how about Shouso Strip, which could very well be the greatest J-pop album of all time?
Solo Ringo Shiina is serious business. This makes me very happy.
