Shiina Ringo - 1999.11.30 - Kyoei Buranko


Another bootleg, this time with a video. Kyoei Buranko was a one day performance in Club Asia, Tokyo, very soon after Manabiya Xstasy. In fact, the tracklist is very similar and the backing band is the same, Tensai Praeparat. Ringo's outfit is also the same...
The original video had audio problems in the first two songs and UFO, so I replaced those with some MP3s I got a long time ago. They are from the exact same concert and are synchronized with the original audio, so don't get worried. The only thing you'll notice is a small difference in the volume. I didn't replace the Pink Lady songs that play at the beginning and ending because it was not worth the effort, in my opinion.
As for the video quality, I suppose it was a recording from Club Asia's staff, because there's only one camera but it's stabilized on a tripod and pans smoothly. Nevertheless, the image is very dark and blurry most of the time (see the cover bellow), which is a shame. I still enjoy watching it anyway, because it's a look into the beginning of Ringo's career, before letucce hats, antler cobwebs and chic dresses were the norm in her live performances.

Shiina Ringo - 1999.11.07 - Manabiya Xstasy

Most fans already have the audio recording of the Manabiya Xstasy concert in November 02 (1999), a great tour Ringo did in her early days in four different schools in Japan.
What I also got is the recording of November 07 (1999). While the setlist is the same and the arrangements don't differ at all, this recording provides much better sound quality than the other one. It also includes all the MCs and Introduction. So after cropping the tracks better (in the original files I got some songs were split between two files), here it is for your enjoyment.

Download (MP3 VBR5 135kbs)

The original files I found were in CBR 128kbs, so there's not much I can do about it. Some of the "crackle" you hear are actually claps, from what I can tell.
Here is the Wikipedia page with some information about the Hitomi Memorial Hall.

PS - There's a slight cut in the middle of "Kabukichou no Joou".
