Shiina Ringo is set to release her first remix album, “Hyakuyaku no Cho.” It will be released digitally on November 30, with a physical release set for January 11. This release was delayed following a controversy involving the design of the release’s limited edition goods.

Ringo has enlisted an international roster of musicians for this release, including Japan’s Shinichi Osawa, STUTS, and KID FRESINO; the UK’s Gilles Peterson and object blue; and the US’ Telefon Tel Aviv.

Ahead of the release, Ringo has released a music video for a remix of her signature song, “Marunouchi Sadistic.” The remix is courtesy of South Korea’s Miso. Of the remix, Miso said she had a lot of fun making it and wanted to blend her and Ringo’s styles on it. Check the result below!
