Sheena Ringo – Iroha ni Hoheto

A stylish track with a Japanese flair, “Iroha nihoheto.” It captures Shiina Ringo’s coolness while exuding a somewhat eerie, lonely atmosphere that becomes addictive.

Included on the 2014 album “Hi Izuru Tokoro,” the song was tied in as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Kamo, Kyoto e Iku: Shinise Ryokan no Okami Nikki.” Compared to Ringo’s other songs, this one works better when sung in a subdued, matter-of-fact way.

So it might actually suit people who aren’t confident in expressive, emotive singing.

StoicismShiina Ringo24rank/position

Stoicism

This 1-minute-46-second piece is placed as a bridge leading into the latter half of the album Shōso Strip.

It’s characterized by the ascetic nuance suggested by its title and a unique sound full of darting electronic tones.

In fact, it’s cleverly paired with the preceding track, “Crime and Punishment”: if you read the seemingly nonsensical string of lyrics backward, a certain phrase emerges.

Dense artistry and playful spirit are compressed into this short runtime.

Try solving this word puzzle yourself.
