Who does it best? Ado/Sheena Ringo - Crime and Punishment | REACTION 

Sheena is a god that created Ado. u can find how much Ado really liked Sheena Ringo. the way Ado sing, changing her voice is exactly like Sheena Ringo. while Ado have absolutely perfect voice, Sheena Ringo is really a great performer & artist. She is so creative and perfectionist. her solo performance never fail, neither Tokyo Jihen too

Sheena Ringo isnt drunk shes acting out the songs story full lyric translation: Yamate Street in the morning stings my cheeks I throw away an empty pack of cigarettes My tiny little room with no place for me to even stand Indulges the loneliness I feel Don’t love my restless shrieking Don’t look to the future Just live in the moment, something you can be confident in Call out my name Touch my body All I need is this: acknowledge me I love you, I’m bawling all alone And it feels so pointless to be fumbling my way down the road at night The cheap fluorescent lights of the ticket gate Don’t even give you a shadow Ah, that warped, distant and uncertain day smells like Seven Stars Tasting them brings me right back to that time of the year The fact that I wished for anything at all goes well beyond contradiction Your voice was more precious to me than anything in the world Did I make that hoarse, too… A German car and a police car break the silence Sirens Roaring The real world A certain floating Don’t love my restless shrieking Don’t look to the future Just live in the moment, something you can be confident in Call out my name Touch my body All I need is this: acknowledge me Don’t love my restless shrieking Don’t look to the future Just live in the moment, something you can be confident in Call out my name Touch my body All I need is this: acknowledge me Yamate Street in the morning stings my cheeks I throw away an empty pack of cigarettes My tiny little room with no place for me to even stand Indulges the loneliness I feel

The original by Shiina is a rock song. The swing was added after the fact. This lady is my savior. Her voice cut through my darkest time. Her original song is a masterpiece. An Ado made it her own while showing absolute respect to the original.

Fun fact: Sheena Ringo wrote a song for Ado called “Yukueshirezu”

Can guarantee you she was not drunk. She is a fantastic performer. the immersion in the song is phenomenal. Such a professional artist as Sheena would never drink during a concert. Personally, I like Sheena Ringo's version the best. She was involved in Ado's recording of the song

椎名林檎は魂の叫び、揺らぎ、色気、ブルース Adoは魂の開放、波、息吹、現時点日本歌謡の集大成 日本音楽での故人で例えると 椎名林檎は淡谷のり子 Adoは美空ひばり と思っている

Ringo Sheena is a very good director, as you can see from her involvement in the direction of the Tokyo Olympics. Her behavior on this stage is meticulously calculated and is completely linked to the content of the lyrics. This song depicts the psychology close to madness of a woman who is devastated by sadness, thirsts for love, and clings to life at the last minute. If you feel that her condition is ridiculous, it may be what she is aiming for. Because tragedy and comedy are two sides of the same coin.

Queen Shiina Ringo is Ado's role model, and Ado is now a Japanese Reiwa diva

Both were phenomenal. However, it was Sheena's version that bewitched me. I agree with you when you said both were amazing. Thank you for sharing the two versions.

Didn't Sheena herself say that she thought Ado did it better. Not hating on Sheena or anything. I love them both and both are amazing artists. I just think it is kind of pointless to be upset about someone liking Ado more when Sheena has great respect for her rendition.

i love both of these versions. that particular performance by Miss Sheena(definitely not drunk) was so intense and full of life experience and emotion, Ado is a phenominal singer and her version is just great.. another 5-10 years as she is still only 19/20 i think she will be more able to add life experience and perform this even better. i do recomend checking out the original Miss Sheena MV. she is true performer. there are probably 10 different ways she has performed this song over the years this being the most popular due to her really embodying the character of the song

Miku Kobato (the founder of Band-Maid) said that when she heard the song "Gunjou Biyori" by Sheena Ringo and her band Tokyo Jihen around 2012, she decided to form a band someday. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jX4FYnsTjus.htmlsi=5zpmmytT_SF_DVvz My sympathies are therefore always with Sheena Ringo. 🙂

とりあえず椎名林檎の当時のMVを歌詞付きで見てから語ればええよ

This song is about a prostitute woman working in Kabukicho, Japan. She fell in love with one customer, but today I am also in the arms of another customer. It expresses that emptiness and anger. I'm a Japanese person who has been a big fan of her since I was in elementary school.

As other have said this performance by Sheena was from 2015, fifteen years after she first released it on her second album and she's done many different arrangements of the song over the years. Whilst this is a great emotive version it's also quite a bit jazzier (both vocally and with the added horns section) than the original which was more intense and rockier. Sheena was going through more of a big band/jazzy phase at this point of her solo career. As for her appearing kinda drunk, with a lot of her songs that lyrically have a through narrative, she'll inhabit/act out a character when performing them live, so most of her movements are very calculated as opposed to improvised in the moment. This song is about being overwhelmed with despair and angry emptiness to the point of losing control of yourself. If you saw the rest of the concert, for the song before and after this her stage presence is almost completely different with none of the stumbling/inebriated style actions. Ado's version is actually a lot closer to Sheena's original studio arrangement, though the guitars are slightly different, escalating more at the end and Ado is more histrionic with their vocal delivery, you hear more brazen anger and betrayal than resigned despair. I like Ado's version and would happily listen to it again; but it does less to make it their own if you compare it to the Sheena Ringo studio version. I slightly prefer Sheena's overall with the drama of this live version factored in and I fully accept some of that will come from my own biases as a massive Tokyo Jihen fan (the band she's fronted since 2004, though they were on hiatus 2012-19). For me personally, the peak phase 2 Tokyo Jihen line-up can eclipse even peak solo Sheena Ringo, through sheer musicality and the ability to perform any song in just about any style and successfully pull it off.

これを機会に椎名林檎をリアクションしまくってほしい。

Also I think I would add that she didn’t change the song. I see so many reactors go off the live performance then talk about the difference. When ado is singing to the original song. On to of that she wasn’t drunk she was playing somebody drunk after the song she stands up and talks to the crowd stone cold sober. Good live show by the way recommend watching the whole thing. 😊

椎名林檎が体現し習得した人生を基に表現し吐き出す歌と、adoが体現し習得した人生を基に表現し吐き出す歌は違うに決まっている。 原曲とカバーの関係は原曲に凝縮され封じ込められ、封印された時間を別の担い手が再び開ける行為に他ならないし、それは原曲に共感し感銘を受けて担い手になる事を選択し決意したからに他ならないでしょう。 そうやって感受性という絆の連鎖で名曲は時代を超えて行くだけの話しでしょうね。 なので、どちらが優れているのかと考え論評する人は浅すぎるし、両者の歌い手をバカにし過ぎだと思います。 確かに原曲なくしてカバーは生まれませんが、カバーもまた次の世代にシンクロニシティを提供し、原曲の素晴らしさを紹介するわけですから。 なので、どちらもかっこ良いんですよ。

椎名りんごの存在感には、いくらADOの歌声でも勝てないでしょう! 大人の色気が 決定的にちがいます。

you should react to sheena original crime and punishment which is close to ado version, this live version more jazz and swing

You should listen to Sheena's studio version. Ado is not too far from it, she does bring a harsher vocal to it though.

Ado's vocal talent is powerful, expressive, and truly wonderful; it can be compared to a ``excellent instrument'' and a ``master of that instrument.'' On the other hand, Ringo Shiina has an outstanding talent for songwriting, and has long been known for her amazing ability to create spaces in music. She originally intended to become a music producer, but the people around her decided to make her debut as a singer. That's why, although her work may seem sensuous at first glance, it is actually a very rational and calculated expression.

愛して愛して愛して　をおすすめします。狂気の歌です。見事にadoは表現して歌っています。怖いですよ

Thanks for responding to my request. You should definitely react to Aishite Aishite Aishite. Ado's craziness is max there.

There is also a video of AiNA THE END singing that song. Please also check out "Red:birthmark," the ending theme song for the second season of the anime "GUNDAM Witch from Mercury" by AiNA THE END. She is a Japanese singer who sings anime songs and has a quite unique voice.

Both absolutely fucken phenomenal.

Maybe give "Gunjou Biyori" a spin - courtesy of Kobato fingering it as a seminal influence on her, and by extension Band-Maid?

I feel like Ado’s cover is something I would listen in a car on a heavy raining night and Sheena Ringo’s performance is something I would strive for in a karaoke with friends

Not sure if it there is much value in comparing any two versions of the same song. They are an expression of the performer, producer, arranger, artists etc... But as it is and in this case, I can not see how the original could be bested. Both are great but Sheena's ability to express the emotions of the story seem to resonate (simplicity carries great weight) and delve deeper (maybe because she wrote the song and is more attached to the story). Further, I do think Ado's version is a homage of sorts to Sheena... Ultimately Sheena is the Queen (of Queens) and the rest are subjects to her abilities, not a concept that Sheena would rejoice in, I suspect. Few have the ability and depth of work that Sheena has. Sheena, in my humble opinion, is one of the very rare true legends, whether she likes it or not. None of this is not to say that Ado is not a great performer... Ohhh and do yourself a favour and have a listen to the album Shōso Strip-a masterpiece in composition, music, arrangement, and storytelling.

Does that way of screaming in pain while singing have a name? Or are they just really suffering? It sounds fucking beautiful.🤧❤️❗

Personally, I listened to the two versions and compared them. But I was wondering, "Would someone like to do a listening comparison project like this on RU-vid?" It was very interesting to read so many people's thoughts in the comments section. Thank you.

As I remember Sheena switch her style to jazz in around 2006 (under the influence of her band Tokyo Jihen). And you choose the 2015 performance. The studio version for C&P is very very rocky.

I think there's a tendency, maybe understandably, to focus the comparison on the vocals, but for me it's more in the music where Ringo's studio version is superior to Ado's. While Ado's version on the face of it has all the right elements, the right guitar tones, and is well played, it just feels more clinical and by the numbers and lacks some of the genuinely raw band feel of the original. I think it's difficult to recreate that feeling of the original artist, having composed an absolute banger, going in the studio and smashing it at that time with her band.

Just keep in mind that there are two performances of this song by Shiina Ringo, in her youth and in her later years. The one in her youth is crazier

Another version of crime and punishment you should check out is from Aina the end Who is with a Japanese idol group called BiSH it is very good and worth checking out trust me on this please Aina has an amazing voice also she has performed it several times over the years and has performed it with Sheena Ringo as well

Agree about "stunning performance", but the drunk take is weird. 😐 To do this properly you really needed to first listen to Ringo's studio version, which then of course would let you know that the backing of Ado's version is pretty much a facsimile of that. In 20+ years, Ringo has of course arranged it a bunch of ways live with varying degrees of rock and jazz in the mix. I like Ado's version, but as a Ringo fan I'm always going to consider her original the best. I don't have a problem with anyone who prefers Ado's vocals, though, as they are spectacular.

Watch the video with this title!!! 椎名林檎 - 罪と罰

I think I prefer to listen to Ado’s version but watch Shiina’s version.

I can’t believe you’ve slandered Sheena Ringo like this.

昔から椎名林檎さんのファンなのでreactionは嬉しいです❤

なんでライブの映像と比べるの！？

椎名林檎の罪と罰はこの動画よりも林檎博08が圧倒的です。 adoでは話になりません。

As a Japanese person who has known her since her first album, I can't even imagine someone comparing her to Ado. She is the mother of recent Japanese pop music creator, and Ado is one of her progeny singer. I remember being shocked when her first album came out, as a Japanese female musician of the same age, 25 years ago. You should definitely check her original MV before comparing one of her performance in last 25 years. Ado copied the original version with respect amd used jer skills to sing like her aggressively but I don't think Ado completely understand Ringo's song/lyrics yet.

Wonderful sense of humor on this one! Gotta add, it was great how you kinda got lost in the sauce there towards the end of the Ado version. Just sitting back, chilling, admiring the artistry. Seen so many people pause and say something banal like "I don't know what to say." Really enjoyed the breakdown of the two styles, and that it wasn't a competition. I'm a bit of a sucker for brass and winds in general. So hearing you put some more objective thoughts into the discussion was just great. So glad you reacted to this pair, TY! BUT! No pause during the solo at 13:12. Shaking my SMH head. 😆 EDIT: What crime would I get away with? Putting a horse in a bathtub. Illegal in some parts of the US.

It almost feels burlesque esq, like not only a song, but a performance.

adoはその歌唱力でもってこの歌を歌いこなしてはいるが、どうしても若い。 真にこの歌を考えると歌いこなしてるのは正に椎名林檎です。。。 言い出すことすらできない感情を最後諦め、投げやりにするところなど圧巻です。

NOOO!! When people dismiss ADO’s vocals as a pale copy of Shiina Ringo in her prime, they mean pre-2002 Shiina Ringo, not relatively recent performances like this. If your only exposure to Shiina Ringo is from RU-vid then, I’m sorry but you have never experienced the greatest voice in the history of human civilization. It’s not like there doesn’t exist a record of Shiina’s early performances, in addition to her first two studio albums, her record label put out 8 concert dvds between 1999 and 2002 - a recognition that as great as her studio masterpieces were, when she performed live she turned the dial way past 11. Around 2004 Shiina changed her singing style and no longer pushes her voice to the same extremes even when she covers her earlier works. Unfortunately, its only post 2004 Shiina that is available on YT - uploaded clips from her earlier performances get taken down immediately, reactions get blocked. Her later stuff is still great, but its like listening to Aretha Franklin in her 60s, still great music but if that’s the only Aretha you’ve heard then you can’t entirely understand the queen of soul moniker.

Dovstoyevsky IMO

Hello: Here are some rocking videos from Sheena Ringo / Tokyo Jihen: 1) Vivre (Tokyo incidents) 東京事変 - 「生きる」 from Bon Voyage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sb_cbhif9uw.html 2) Ideal Days for Ultramarine (Tokyo Incidents) / Nippon (Sheena Ringo) 群青日和→NIPPON | from 百鬼夜行 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m4UGwJzRlwY.html 3) Gips - (Sheena Ringo) 椎名林檎 - ギブス from 真空地帯 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FoW6bFCquqg.html

A small recommendation for the reaction - "Run Away" by Dirty Loops

(Opinión personal) me encanto de lejos eo cover, me transmite mas la desesperacion que inteta interpretar la vocalista.

Shiina has not been at the Saki, this is her interpretation of the lyrics. I dare say the average pissed up Glaswegien would be unable to sing this song. By the way, please stop calling Ado Aydo.

エド ではない アドです

如果你要听椎名林檎，你得先看她早期的live视频，和她现在的jazz时代非常不一样，千禧年代的椎名林檎是最纯粹的ringo，你的选曲差到让我不想用英文回复了

She wasnt drunk you goofball that was a performance

One wrote it (along tons of other great songs - you have no idea of the quality, size and importance of her work) and performed it live here, while acting fantastically (she has an amazing stage presence and her shows are always incredibly theatricals - and differents). The other one recorded it in studio, so you don't even know how it really sounds don't you? 😉 No possible comparison. Btw Shiina Ringo wrote a song for Ado (she has an habit of writing songs for up and coming young singers). She's a legend (and still amazing on stage 25 years after her beginnings). Listen to her first three albums and try to imagine she wrote them et recorded them while being around 20.

Not sure why, but the song reminded me a lot of the intro music of Latin American soap operas. Perhaps it's because of the singer's voice. As I heard her and the background music, the likes of Ana Gabriel, Vikki Carr and Rocío Dúrcal came to my mind. =)

I love both versions but Ados version gets more response from me. If you want to hear another side of Ado I can recommend Dignity. (technically many more but: one step at a time, right)

I prefer Ado's version, no contest, personally - I do like the original, and have listened to it plenty, but to me Ado still blows it out of the water (comparable to what Johnny Cash did with NIN's Hurt). To each their own though, and obviously props to Sheena for writing such a great song.

i've heard Ado's version about 10 billion times and that first verse always gives me the chills. Ringo is aight but I personally would not listen to her song twice
