Perfume’s Nocchi, AI, Atarashii Gakko no Leaders, and More Join Shiina Ringo on New Album

On May 29, Shiina Ringo will release her new album, “Hojokai.”

On her previous album, 2019’s “Sandokushi”, Ringo got a taste of writing songs for male voices, collaborating with the likes of Miyamoto Hiroji, Tortoise Matsumoto, and Sakurai Atsushi of BUCK-TICK. This new album sees Ringo returning to one of her longtime efforts: writing songs for other female acts. “Hojokai” sees Ringo collaborating with “seven utahime”: Utada Hikaru, AI, Perfume‘s Nocchi (in the first solo appearance of a Perfume member), Charan Po Rantan‘s Momo, Daoko, Atarashii Gakko no Leaders, and Nakajima Ikkkyu of tricot and Genie High.

Ringo’s new album will also feature new versions of her previously released singles “Watashi wa Neko no Me”, “Saraba Junjo”, and “Ito wo Kashi”, as well as her recent single “Ningen Toshite.”

On May 27, the “seven utahime” songs will be released digitally. The following day, their music videos will be released. The music videos are now available and can be seen below, along with more information on Ringo’s new album!
