BLAH

I should probably update here more, but it does not matter because no one reads this. I also have nothing cool to put here right now DOOM.

The Leading Hitter and Excitement

Shiina's official English titles for her songs are so goofy. :P

Tsugou no ii Karada = A Convenient Body = The Leading Hitter
Irokoizata = Love Affair = Excitement

Oh well. Apparently it is for the sake of the SYMMETRY~


Tsugou no ii Karada pv! This is MY FAVORITE song from her new album "Sanmon Gossip." I think it's very bold and completely different from what she's done before. Loooove it. Also, the video a bunch of fun too. Really cute and has old-timey cartoon feel to it. Just a good time. Nice time.


Irokoizata pv! Apparently, this is the "boring" song on Sanmon Gossip according to people, but I think it's really lovely. It's so peaceful and Shiina's voice is suited so well to this kind of song (but I am biased I JUST LOVER HER VOICE!!!). THOUGH, the pv... while it is lovely... whoever decided to do her hair that way should be shot immediately. Bad life choice.


and thus my Shiina Ringo project is complete. That went by faster than I expected to. Now I have to get to working all my last projects for school -stress-

OH WELL. I hope anyone who happens to stumble on this/is a fan of Shiina Ringo enjoyed it! :)

I want to do this project with Tokyo Jihen-Shiina Ringo now......

Memory, Mellow, Season, and Vogue

I don't know why Shiina's official translation of Konoyo no Kagiri is "memory" ah well. She's crazy. Here's four drawings



Konoyo no Kagiri pv. I love this video. I love this song. It is so sweet and sincere and beautiful. Also, she sings it with her brother Junpei, and that is just adorable. Okay.


Mellow Pv. I really like this video. I feel like it shares some similarities with the La Salle de Bain video, but anyway. It's a lovely song. Nice strong work from Shiina as always. Curious though, why the video was made way after the song....



Shun pv. This was one of the first songs that popped up from Shiina's newest solo album Sanmon Gossip. I really hated it at first and thought it was soooo boring. It's grown on me though. It's a really lovely soothing song, and I like the projections used in the pv. Like the piano onto her body lying down (which I drew). I was so afraid of messing that part up!


Ryuukou pv. I didn't find out about the existence of this pv until this year during the summer time. It's kind of a blah pv to a catchy song. I'm still not super well-versed in all the Sanmon Gossip songs, but I do enjoy them.

Well that's it for now! Two more left and this project will be over. Insane.

La Salle de Bain and A Song of Apples

Just a couple more Shiina Ringo things... I am still behind >_<


La Salle de Bain. I am pretty sure this is my FAVORITE Shiina Ringo song as well as one of my favorite videos. I pretty much like Yokushitsu anytime and anyway she sings it.


Ringo no Uta. The start of a "new" Shiina Ringo I guess without her trademark mole and such. Since the video goes through her various looks, I chose to draw how she looks at the end : stripped down and fresh or whathave you. The song itself is great too. :)

Fig Flower

This is Shiina Ringo as she appears in the pv for Ichijiku no Hana. I like this song. Simple, beautiful, and mysterious. Just like the pv.

A Rush Job

Oh the coincidences... this was a rush job, too. This is Ringo's look from her Yattsuke Shigoto pv. It is different from all her other pvs because it is meant to mimic the look of a live performance, crowd and all. While Yattsuke Shigoto is one of my favorite songs from Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana, the version in her pv is actually a gritty rock arrangement of it instead which I AM OKAY WITH. Anyway... that's it I guess. So many mistakes on this one X|

Camouflage

What day is this??? Ah yes day 13. This is Shiina's look from her Meisai pv. She also plays a maid, but I felt diva-Ringo-ina-two-tone-dress was more recognizable. This pv is pretty interesting; I wish I knew what the story behind it was. I have my own thoughts on it, but it's all speculation of course. As for the song itself, I absolutely love it especially since it's on my favorite Shiina Ringo album (Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana). All the songs on that album are SOOOO good.

Also, I think this is one of my favorite drawings. It's not as rushed as most of the others. I feel like I MIGHT be getting the hang of drawing her face, but not yet.
