I’m really sad that I never got to see Tokyo Jihen perform live. ;____; But I wanted to post a performance as tribute, but it’s so hard to pick just oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee….

A lot of people I know don’t like Shiina Ringo’s voice ‘cause it’s so scratchy and it’s not what comes to mind when you think of “beautiful voices”. :P But she’s the only one I know who can pull of these songs.

This song is Omatsuri Sawagi. I don’t think they’ve performed this live since HZM left the band… no one can play that piano part but him, I guess. XD It’s so crazy good! And the basssssssssssssss oh gods the bassist~ And I love watching the drummer; he’s always smiling like he’s having such a good time! I love everything about this performance. Even her outfit; it’s so classy~

I rather enjoy just how mad the arrangement gets in certain parts of this song.

Despite acknoledging Ukigumo’s versatility and technical prowess, I never really admired him the same way I did Mikio… and personally, I still don’t.

However, after seeing that little leg splitty jump thing at 3:27, I at least know he’s human.

Izaya Ichiyo, on the other hand, is some kind of emotionless wall. He does have an interesting voice though…

best performance of kenka joutou idc

the middle makes my heart throb

i saw a glimpse of the old ringo who played in sweaty clubs with mussed hair & a tiara.
