Shiina Ringo’s Best and Most Popular Songs: From Hit Singles to Hidden Gems, All in One Guide!

The Correct CityShiina Ringo

Ringo Sheena Correct Town Demo Tape demo

The first track on the debut album, Innocence Moratorium.

It’s said that making this the opening track was a strong request from Ringo.

The song expresses her feelings when she told her then-partner she was leaving to move to Tokyo.

Kameda-sensei’s bass is insanely cool.

Included on Muzai Moratorium.

It was used as the CM song for Suntory’s “The Cocktail Bar: Orange Squeeze” commercial.

The “Irish girl” is said to refer to Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries.

It’s a very beautiful song, a rock ballad with a memorable piano.

in broad daylightShiina Ringo

Ringo Sheena – In Broad Daylight

This song was specially written as the theme for the film “About a Certain Place in the Kinki Region.” It was released as a double A-side single in August 2025.

Regarding this work, Sheena Ringo herself said, “Horror is my forte,” and the imposing band sound, featuring a stellar lineup including Shun Ishiwaka, harmonizes perfectly with the film’s horror elements.

When the hidden truth is revealed, please immerse yourself in the earnest emotions that well up within.

Cranes with PinesShiina Ringo

Sheena Ringo – A Crane on a Pine

This is a song by Ringo Sheena that instantly grabs you with its sprightly rhythm and playful arrangement.

The piano and upright bass intertwine comfortably, with a whistle added to create a refreshingly cool atmosphere.

The lyrics are brimming with passionate love for someone special.

Included on the single Susuki ni Tsuki, released in June 2025, the track was arranged and produced from a band piece by her close collaborator Ichiyo Izawa.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to soak in a liberating, resort-like midsummer mood.

Unconditional LoveShiina Ringo

Cyndi Lauper Unconditional Love from Live In Yokohama

A song that covers and arranges a classic by Cyndi Lauper.

It’s the coupling track to “Kabukichō no Joō” and is also included in the B-sides collection “Watashi to Hōden.” Perhaps to showcase the vocals to the fullest, there are no drums and such, giving it a distinctive atmosphere.

Sid and DaydreamsShiina Ringo

Ringo Sheena – Sid and a Daydream {acoustic live, Nagoya ’99}

It seems the song was composed before she turned 19, and her talent is truly astonishing.

I recommend the version included on “Innocence Moratorium,” which has a very cool, rock-style arrangement.

Of course, this live version on YouTube is wonderful as well.

Run, NumberShiina Ringo

Ringo Sheena – Run, Number [Bass Cover]

Included on the 5th album “Hinode Tokoro.” It’s said the track was produced with the image of Masayuki Hiyzumi playing a Clavinet.

As always, the bass does a great job and makes you want to copy it.

The sixteenth notes are groovy and feel great.
