東京事変 🇯🇵⚠️ - 永遠の不在証明🥀♦️ | MUSICIANS REACT

[@jupiterite3]

You have finally encountered the last boss Ringo Shiina.

[@craigfenson]

THIS.

[@dicodec]

Oh my haha

[@KingHarris11]

They could spend the next month or two just on her, and I wouldn’t be mad

[@jupiterite3]

@@KingHarris11 Her career has spanned more than 20 years, so it might take a year just to cover the years between her debut and the formation of Tokyo Incidents. In the years following her debut, people from all walks of life in Japan were discussing Shiina Ringo.

Let's go to the Ringo Heaven or Hell~~

[@jmeind]

Loving you 2 for bringing this to a wider audience. They definitely deserve the attention. Plus they just got back form a hiatus. Great timing guys!

[@dicodec]

Oh awesome! You can thank our awesome patreons for making these picks for us.

[@kairukafuka6022]

So you've finally reached Japan's most overtalented super band helmed by the legendary queen of fusion music. Their music videos and studio recordings don't do them enough justice since they are way better live. They mix their songs in their concerts that they are so unpredictable to the point they re-arrange their songs almost completely only for their live performances. And of course, this band is born from the queen, Ringo Shiina's mind. Honestly, they are the most eclectic band in Japan. They also have english songs and even some english versions of their songs. The whole discography is in another level, including Ringo Shiina's solo artist songs which ranges over 250+ songs of all genres of music. I recommend their song 能動的三分間 (Noudouteki Sanpunkan) or Active Three Minutes, which is really 3:00 minutes sharp. Or if you want a rock song from them, 群青日和(Gunjou Biyori) or 電波通信 (Denpa Tsuushin).

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, that's so awesome! You're really are building the hype for them we can't wait to hear more 🤘😀

[@socotroquito2007]

And still no matter what you say could be an understatement! Yep they are just another level of music making

Ringo Shiina (vo) is very famous in Japan. Maximum the Hormone, Band-Maid or Lovebites are not so well known to people who are not interested in that kind of music. Even Babymetal, there are many people who know the name but have never heard the song. But Ringo is very well known because she often appears on TV and sings.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, that is awesome!

[@akifumi-y4686]

Tokyo jihen (Ringo Shiina) is an amazing band that has influenced many Japanese artists. Polkadot Stingray, miku (bandmaid), etc. I want you to listen to the live sound. "東京事変 - 「群青日和」 from Bon Voyage".

That's awesome, for sure. Definitely looking forward to hearing more 🤘

[@ariirawan5798]

Yooo...shout out to you guys giving a look at Tokyo Jihen (pronouce:Jeehand) or Tokyo Incidents. This band consist of BIG names in Japan music industry which only started as a side project from the singer Shiina Ringo (pronounce: Sheena Reengo), Ukigumo on Guitar, Seiji Kameda on Bass, Izawa on Piano/Keys and Toshiki Hata on Drum. Their music mostly a mix of jazz, rock, beebop, swing and pop. They've been around since 2003. You might want to check out some of their older songs such as Sounan, Himitsu or even OSCA. You might get a different vibe from them which is more groovy and exciting. Nice choice of band by the way...love it.

[@craigfenson]

define super-group.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow very cool! Thse guys are great! 🤘 definitely down to check out more.

[@berkserk8382]

Ringo shiina is definetely god level, you should try her best sellers like Marunouchi sadistic and Honnou. been many years since she entered the ring, and she never stops to amaze me.

[@dicodec]

She is an amazing vocalist we definitely want to hear more 🤘

[@ShikataGaNai100]

She's done several duets with her good friend, Utada Hikaru.

[@kiryukaimemorial]

@@dicodec THIS. This is what I searched the comments for. Why are people not recommending Honnou more? It's the song that got me hooked on Japanese music in the first place. Her albums have evolved since her Rock days, as has her voice ( VERY interesting story behind it in fact). So I would recommend the Honnou MV and Koko De Kiss Shite MV. Really shows off her unique vocals.

[@yohanberaldi]

Shiina Ringo is the best! I recommend listening to her solo music also, especialy her first album “muzai moratorium”. You got to do “marunouchi sadistic”, it’s a legendary song in Japan that she made.

[@dicodec]

We are so down! We loved her voice.

[@akifumi-y4686]

This is advice from Japan. Many people search for "東京事変" or "Tokyo jihen". Video title "Tokyo Incidents" is not a search word and very small impact. I recommend "東京事変 Tokyo jihen" as a video title and search word.

[@dicodec]

Thanks for the heads up ill change the title in a bit.

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and that's what I would call a really excellent example of jazz fusion. Vocalist Shiina has a wonderful voice. Japan has some of the best jazz musicians in the world and the Tokyo Jazz festival is world renowned.

[@dicodec]

Thanks! Oh wow, that's so cool!

She was supposed to do something at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, that's why "incident 2020" kept coming up, and the scene with the Q-tip costume is in the colors of the five Olympic rings, I think. Maybe not.

[@dicodec]

Ah I gotcha that's interesting for sure.

tokyo jihen, particularly sheena ringo, is miku kobato's main influence.

Sheena is an awesome artist...so glad that she influenced Miku so much.

[@b0bm3tal]

Wow, didn't know that.. thank you for the info Mr Craigfenson. ☺️

[@kiyoneg1580]

Ringo Shiina is a genius. He is a person that all Japanese musicians respect and admire. There are quite a lot of her solo and band works, but all of them are mixed with advanced, jazzy and pop rock tastes. The lyrics are also surreal and modern. Please see and listen to the translation. We are waiting for your reaction.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, she sounds amazing! We would be happy to check out more of her work. 😀

[@mochi7665]

Yes! Shiina Ringo is a legend! I wish more people knew what a rich music scene Japan has.

[@segazora]

some Shiina Ringo and Tokyo incidents stuff definitely needs to be on your list to react to

[@dicodec]

Absolutely agree 😀

[@ShigBro]

Highly recommended song of her solo career - Tokyo (Off-Line) and a song from TI that rebooted them in 2020 (after an eight-year hiatus), The Lower Classes (Erabarezaru Kokumin 選ばれざる国民) Love to hear what you guys think of these two. Also, their latest tune Whiteout is freaking amazing as well. I’m sure you will get a kick out of these three for sure!!

[@dicodec]

We are so down for that! Can't wait to hear them.

[@HenryPh_am]

The reboot is because they took a few years off and this is from their reunion EP, basically a reboot

[@dicodec]

Ah I see, very cool!

[@miqoto]

Alan went crazy with the effects lol. Unidentifiable exist of forever(translated title). Shena Ringo hasn't changed her singing style since she debuted. Tokyo Jihen has always has this jazzy sound to them.

[@dicodec]

He always does haha. That's pretty cool. Can't wait to hear more from them

[@kwta86]

Tokyo Jihen - Killer Tune next!

[@dicodec]

Alright, we are game!

[@FauxieDaoJia]

One of my favourite recent Tokyo Jihen songs, and no surprise it's one that Ringo wrote. Izawa's consistently good, Kameda (Put Your Camera Down is beautiful) and Uki (Fig Flower!) have their moments, and HZM would be a legend just for Gunjō Biyori alone, but Ringo is on a whole other level.

[@JazzFatcho]

Miku loves this band. So she wanted to start band. Band Maid is a result.
