Very fair Dewi. I'm not sure how I'd receive this if it were my first.

Johnny you owe it to yourself to watch Gekokujo Xstasy if you havent seen it yet, she performs tons of Shouso stuff and the hospital concept is brilliant

"One of Shiina’s best traits is the perfection of her imperfections; her voice isn’t crystal clear, nor does she force it to be, one of the reasons she chose not to expand her sound to international lengths is because she said she simply is not capable of it (meaning she knows her limits), and on the side her body isn’t symmetrical either, particularly her shoulders, from surgery she had as a child."

that certainly is a sentence

That sentence makes no sense lmao. I never read sputnik/music reviews tho so maybe all sound like this?

perfection of her imperfections

every time i read this phrase or any close variant i think of the writer purposefully smashing a mirror over their keyboard. what an atrocious and misleading paragraph.

have just read, and this is a very dumb review

"Just look at icons like Ayumi Hamasaki or Utada Hikaru; a good voice and a talent for angelically subduing the listener seem to press down pretty hard on the superstar stamp, and marks have definitely been made with such penchants. Looking at the success of Fukuoka-based Shiina Ringo, who chose to sit behind the mainstream windshield instead of ride its turbulence, they aren’t the only ways to hit it big either."

this is a laughably bad opinion, this is terrible phrasing and this is literally inaccurate

This must've been written by some sort of review-bot that was still deep in beta testing

Johnny the way you summarised so much venom in such a short amount of words is just magic.
