Tokyo Jihen
Tokyo Jihen Grows Up

Tokyo Jihen just can't help it. With the landmark release of Ringo Shiina and company's second album "Adult" in January and the release of their "Adult Video" video collection solidifying the band's new, jazzier sound in the hearts, ears, and eyes of the world, the band set out on their "Domestic!" tour to give Japan just one more glimpse of the band.

Their upcoming concert DVD "Just can't help it" is the fruit of this tour. This is the first retail concert video from the band to feature the new line up from the "Adult" album. True to its name, "Adult" features a smoother, more mature sound for the band compared to their previous album "Kyoiku." The new DVD, "Just can't help it," gives fans that couldn't attend the concert their first glimpse of what Tokyo Jihen's maturing sound means for their live show.

Recorded May 26, 2006 at Tokyo's NHK Hall, "Just can't help it" finds the new Tokyo Jihen focusing on the element of performance in their concerts. Sure, there's music. Sure, there are Ringo Shiina's trademark costume changes. But be prepared for a wave of surreal theater to permeate the performance as Ringo changes costumes instantaneously in front of you and flits around the hall.

Snow blows across a seemingly all-encompassing projection screen when a nasal female voice breaks into the opening notes of "Yukiguni." Ringo Shiina appears clad in white kimono, bridal headdress, and oilpaper umbrella. As she completes the song, the curtain raises and the show begins. You'll have to see the rest of the show yourself!

Concert DVD "Just can't help it" comes out September 6, 2006. DVD features performances of 22 songs including a cover of Happy Boys' "C'm'on Let's Go." Order now!
