- Information
"Mayonaka wa Junketsu" is Shiina Ringo's eighth single. The song features the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra as the backing band, lending the song to its ska arrangement. The single also has a remade version of Sid to Hakuchuumu from Shiina's Muzai Moratorium album featuring a new jazz arrangement. This single does not appear on any album of Shiina's, and was released after a long period of inactivity. However, the PV for Mayonaka wa Junketsu appears on Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana's PV collection, Seiteki Healing ~Vol. III~. It is rumored that the PV for Mayonaka wa Junketsu was animated due to the fact that Shiina was a few months into her pregnancy. This single was also released as a vinyl 15 days earlier that was 100 yen more expensive than the single. No special features were included in it. The single reached #2 in Oricon charts, and charted for nine weeks. 358,000 copies were sold of the single version in Japan, and 16,000 copies of the vinyl version were sold.
