May 2, 2009 Outstanding as alwaysNobody on any continent does better concert DVD's than Shiina, and this one is no exception. The production values are always first rate, she always sounds as good live as in the studio and she always has the best back-up musicians. Sometimes she is backed up by a string orchestra, sometimes by a rock band. In this case she is backed up by both at once and the sound is big. So is Shiina's voice. She belts out song after song for 2 hours, covering her career from beginning to present. It is all music - no back stage filler. The arrangements are spectacular and Shiina's quirkiness is definitely present. Shiina is a perfectionist. She is in a class by herself. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$20.25Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:September 20, 2008 An excellent compilationShiina Ringo is admittedly an acquired taste. She is very unusual and unique. Her main influences are punk and jazz, but she is really hard to categorize. If you are already a Shiina fan and don’t have her three Seiteki Healing DVD’s, then this is a good buy. It has the videos from six of her first seven singles including her most famous such as Honnou (Instinct) where she appears in a nurse’s uniform and sings into a bullhorn while smashing sheets of glass with her fist and foot, Tsumi no Batsu (Crime & Punishment) where she delivers a power vocal in a Mercedes-Benz that’s cut in half, and Mayonaka wa Junketu (Midnight is Pure) which is an anime video and features the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. There is also a punk version of Yattsuke Shigoto (What a Damned Job) that is very different than the one that was on her KSK album. That video was on Seteki Healing 3. In fact the first 8 tracks all appeared on the Seiteki Healing series, but there are three additional videos that I have never seen before including a very nice version of Ringo no Uta (The Apple’s Song) which I feel is better than the version which was on Kyouiku, her first album with her group Tokyo Jihen. If you know nothing about her, then this is a good overview of her solo career before she formed Tokyo Jihen. I think Shiina is the thinking person’s J-Pop star and is well worth investigating if you are the adventuresome type. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

Kyoiku (Japan Version)
December 22, 2005 Didn't grab meI love Shiina Ringo, but there wasn't a single song that grabbed me. If you want a great album with Shiina and the Tokyo Jihen musicians (and they are fantastic) backing her up, get Electric Mole. This is an all region DVD of live concert material and features Shiina's solo album songs, especially from KSK. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
