- Information
"Ze-Chyou Syuu", "Zecchoushuu" or "ZCS", is a release by Shiina Ringo which is by default called a mini-album. It is in fact a three disc set (8 cm CDs in full-height, slim jewel cases) with three songs each, for a total of nine songs in the collection. Despite it being a collection of three singles in a box, is classed as an as it charted on Oricon album charts. Each disc is named after the band that performed with Shiina Ringo in the recordings. Discs one and three are lives, while disc two is made of studio recordings. Zecchoushuu reached #1 on Oricon charts and charted for nine weeks. It sold 430,000 units in Japan.
Track three of Gyakutai Glikogen and track three of Tensai Praeparat are written strangely with random characters. However, according to the insert, the title is also known as '喪 興瑠怒 (ソー コールド)', which is a transliteration of 'So Cold' in English. The single is sometimes accidentally romanised as "Mo Kyouryuudo"; which would translate to 'Also Dinosaur Moderation', which does not make much sense.
"Yattsuke Shigoto" was the leading song for this collection, as it has its own PV. An interesting fact about the music video for "Yattsuke Shigoto" is that despite the PV appearing to be a live performance, in fact it is not. The PV was choreographed to look like a live performance, and used the audio from a live performance as its backing. Yattsuke Shigoto also appears in a remade studio form on the album Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana. The song "Onaji Yoru" that appears on this collection is a live version of the same song found on Muzai Moratorium.
The band Hatsuiku Status were also featured in a DVD of Shiina's, which was called Hatsuiku Status Gokiritsu Japon.
