Shiina Ringo and Her Crew's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons 2015 [Blu-ray]

Released May 31, 2017 Shiina Ringo "Shiina Ringo and Her Crew's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons 2015"

The nationwide tour "Shiina Ringo and Her Crew's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons 2015" (October 14, 2015 - December 20, 2015) This was a highly anticipated gig for fans, marking Shiina Ringo's first hall tour under her own name in 12 years, since "Sugoroku Ecstasy" in 2003.

The musicians referred to as "her crew" in the title include an impressive lineup: Toyomu Tamada, Keisuke Torigoe, Masayuki Hiizumi, Ukigumo, Yukio Nagoshi, Yoichi Murata, Koji Nishimura, and Takuo Yamamoto.

The nine yokai (supernatural beings) of "MANGARAMA," including Shiina, toured across Japan, and this release captures their performance at Kanagawa Prefectural Hall on December 9, 2015. They performed 29 songs in total, including early works from when Shiina was still a teenager, songs written for Tokyo Jihen, and songs provided to other artists. Through these numerous songs, they portray a wide range of emotions, expressing the joys and sorrows of living in modern society. Is this heaven or hell?

This release is a two-disc set on both DVD and Blu-ray. Disc 2 contains a live session titled "In Praise of Shadows 2016 by Shiina Ringo and Her Crew."

"MANGARAMA" reunited at Kanagawa Prefectural Hall once again. With their yokai aura suppressed and their spirits renewed, they performed about 10 songs together.

Despite performing at the same venue, this session is remarkably serene, in stark contrast to the frenetic Disc 1.

This release documents the tense, behind-the-scenes interactions that were rarely seen before.
