Hi friends,

So I lost my hard drive, including my entire SR/TJ discography - I'm talking concerts, bootlegs, everything. I purchased hard copies of nearly everything, but I live on the other side of the planet from them.

Can someone help me out?

I've been a fan of SR and Tokyo Jihen since 2006, and this post is out of nowhere, just had to write it.

I've been having a shitty couple of months. The end of a 2.5 year relationship lead to a depressive episode and anxiety attacks (not the first time), affecting my work and general life. I woke up this morning to no responsibilities, so I made some coffee, rolled a joint and on a whim put on Karuki Zaamen Kuri no Hana.

This was always my favorite album of hers. I've listened to it probably at least 1000 times over the last decade-plus. But today it was different. I sat, and just listened. It was an extremely emotional experience. The wailing guitar in Shuukyou, the distorted bittersweetness in Odaijini. In Kuki, when she's wailing at the end about how important this one life is, I let out a couple of tears. I haven't cried in months, and not for a lack of trying.

And then Souretsu.

The final minute and change might be the closest musical equivalent I've ever heard to an anxiety attack. At least, to one of my own. It was becoming overwhelming, but then the song just ends. Boom.

And suddenly I feel better than I have in weeks. I hope it lasts, but even if it doesn't, at least today will be better.

So thanks for that, Shiina Ringo. :)

I am in a Japanese lyrics class and would like to use 葬列 (soretsu) for my presentation this week. Unfortunately I have left my CD in my parents' home. Does anyone have the original CD and can take a picture of 葬列 (soretsu) lyrics?

There are lyrics online, but they have slight variations and I want to confirm the way it appears originally if possible... Thanks!

p.s. Still torn between presenting using the 2006 concert version or the 2014 version. The 2014 is closer to the original but the 2006 chorus is also stunning... She has swapped two lines of lyrics in the 2006 version and I am not sure if that's intentional...

So, some time ago I was watching Shiina's live performances, and there was this live performance of 葬列 (soretsu), unfortunately the video is no more and I can't find it anywhere on the internet, but I found a gif from the video and I need your help to find out from what show/dvd this is from, so I can stream/buy it. Thank You

Hi all. Couple of friends and I have recently made a Discord for Shiina Ringo. It's a relatively new server so it would be nice to see more fans hop on board and express our appreciation for her talent. Here's the link down below and we'll hope to see you there!
