An Idiot's Guide to Ringo Shiina. I was introduced to her work with Sanmon Gossip, thanks to Crafty. It's actually the first all-in-Japanese album I've ever loved, so it's kind of an important milestone for me. It's also one of the most colorful and exuberant pop albums I've heard. And I loved her voice from the get-go.

Sanmon Gossip (三文ゴシップ, 'The Threepenny Gossip'), also known as Superficial Gossip, is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, released on June 24, 2009 in Japan through EMI Music Japan and Virgin Music. The album debuted at number 1 with 120,446 units sold and is certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.^[2]^[3]

Background[edit]

It was 2 years and 4 months since she had last released an album under the name Ringo Sheena, and was also the first time in about six years since she released an album on her own because her previous album, Heisei Fūzoku, was released as a joint project with Neko Saito.

Ringo Sheena composed all 14 songs, and she collaborated with various musicians and producers such as Neko Saito, Takayuki Hattori, Masayuki Hiizumi, Ukigumo, Soil & 'Pimp' Sessions. Each song was given the various elements, such as pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, and orchestra.

All songs, except 2 songs 'Karisome Otome' and 'Marunouchi Sadistic,' are new compositions. 'Karisome Otome (Death Jazz ver.)', released before by digital distribution, is featured on the album and 'Marunouchi Sadistic (Expo Ver.),' used as background music at the ending of her concert 'Ringo Expo 08', is featured as a bonus track.

The track list is symmetric about the middle song (excluding the bonus track 'Marunouchi Sadistic (Expo Ver.)'), as has been the case with all her albums except Muzai Moratorium.

This album title comes from the Gibson SG, an idea which she hit upon before Heisei Fūzoku was completed. Although she was charmed by the shape of the SG, she had not used it. At that time she thought that she would make the album of the jacket using an SG and that started the naming of this album. She associated the word 'Sanmon' with 'S' and the word 'Gossip' with 'G', which are her favorite words.
