Solid prideShiina Ringo

Non shows a superb pitching form in a UNIQLO commercial! Ringo Sheena writes an original song for the ad, “Certain Pride.”

The UNIQLO “Curved Pants 2019 Fall/Winter” commercial featuring Non.

The exhilarating CM song is Ringo Sheena’s “Tashika na Hokori” (“Certain Pride”).

Sheena wrote this piece specifically for the commercial.

With French lyrics and a solemn atmosphere, it’s the kind of track that wouldn’t feel out of place at a formal ceremony—truly an intriguing song.

It makes you want to listen to the whole thing properly, doesn’t it? It builds to a great crescendo and perfectly embodies the idea of “captivating.”

stunned and stupefiedShiina Ringo

closed truth

It’s a commercial where Ringo Sheena, with a bottle of Suntory Ao in hand, sings and showcases a distinctly mature allure.

The footage shows her performing “Bōzen mo Jishitsu” on a dimly lit stage, and the combination of jazz and whisky adds a palpable sensuality.

The theme of accepting life as it is is another highlight, and the phrasing conveys not only a sense of adult composure but also an invitation to freely enjoy Ao.

Sheena Ringo – The Theory of Happiness

“Koufukuron (Etsuraku-hen),” the fourth track on Ringo Sheena’s first album Muzai Moratorium, released on February 24, 1999, is a rock love song that rushes in and leaves with a powerful impact: guitar sounds that whip up like a tornado, punchy vocals, and lyrics that depict the question, What is true happiness?

Off-LineShiina Ringo

Off-Line

A charismatic figure in the J-POP scene: Ringo Sheena ventures far beyond pop, taking on a wide range of other genres as well.

Her rendition of “Autumn Leaves” on the cover album Utaite Myōri ~Sono Ichi~ is well known, but “Off-Line” is a pre-release track from the album Sandokushi, released on May 27, 2019, marking the 21st anniversary of her debut.

The song’s title is given in both Japanese and English, with the Japanese title being “TOKYO.” The piano trio backing brings out a jazzy element, yet overall it culminates in Ringo Sheena’s assertive, hard-hitting sound.
