Everyone remembers Hirama Mikio, right? If your memories fail you, he was the previous guitarist in Tokyo Jihen - you know, that one that is rumored to have left because of relationship troubles with Shiina Ringo? Anyway, look at the picture above you. Really. Look at it. What the hell is that? Is it a man? Is it a woman? Nope, it's Hirama Mikio.
On a brighter note, he is re-re-re..releasing his previous album, Yume to Negoto. The album was first released when was in his early twenties, then, it was re-released during the DYNAMITE! tour. Then, following that, it was also released again in stores nationwide (Japan, of course) so more people could buy it. And now, for the fourth time, it's getting released again.
I wonder why, after all of those times, I still haven't been able to find a place to buy it? Well, I am sure it must rock, after all, one of the greatest Engrish songs out there (if you can touch it) is on the album! I know I enjoyed Bunmei Koukyou Gata Virus, so I am looking forward to finally listening to Yume to Negoto. The release date was the same as Otona, January. 25th, so keep your eyes peeled for a copy of this where ever you can buy music that has been re-re-re-released.

Baru February 1, 2006 07:47 AM PST thanx for the answer!
Chip January 30, 2006 06:11 PM PST oh, cool. Thanks for the clarification.
Now its a full-out race to get her! I want my own SR to sing for me. :-)
Tokyo Jihad January 30, 2006 03:36 PM PST Chip, that's not her boyfriend. That was from an ad for (I guess, apparently) Tower Records. It was a series of ads with musicuans and other artists. I think that guys a painter or figure skater or somethin like that.
ringo January 29, 2006 10:57 PM PST xD I still want to buy it because I heard "hide only your ass!" and "Is that all your chromosomes" have ~THE~ best Enrish ever.
Maou January 29, 2006 07:43 PM PST The rumor about Hirama and SR dating is false. It was based on somebody mishearing SR's self introduction at a concert.
Yume to Negoto isn't very good. BKGV is about 100x better in every way. The album version of If You Can Touch It is terrible. Especially when compared to the Dynamite! version.
Chip January 29, 2006 02:16 AM PST I doubt they were dating. Her boyfriend is this dude
ringo January 27, 2006 10:31 PM PST Baru, the rumor is that Hirama left Tokyo Jihen because after breaking up with Shiina (were they even dating? - that's another rumor) he felt really out of place in the band.
Chip January 27, 2006 08:39 PM PST I have the re-released Yume album. His singing isn't very good. Its alot better in Virus. He's come a long way as a songwriter. I like Virus alot more than his debut. The whole album is around 33min.
The lyrics for "Cover Your Ass" make me laugh. Its worth a buy. Its so affordable!
Baru January 27, 2006 01:18 PM PST Hey, tell us what's that rumor about him leaving TJ. Here in Brazil I heard nothing about it.
usagi January 27, 2006 03:49 AM PST I found a copy - it's 2000y with tax included. I'm still debating on whether or not to buy it, since I'm strapped for cash. :/
Tokyo Jihas January 26, 2006 05:09 PM PST Way hotter than the girl in that band he used to be in! =P
