Shiina Ringo, a rare composer/director who is entering her 27th year in the industry and reaching a state of increasing maturity, will release her new album "Kinji-te" (Forbidden Technique) on March 11th, 2026 (Wednesday). This album employs the "forbidden technique" of not including her own compositions, as reflected in its title. This is a rare item featuring only guest appearances on other artists' works and collaborative tracks with other producers. This album follows in the footsteps of the 2013 release "Ukiyo" (a collaboration best-of album). As with its predecessor, the artwork, specially commissioned by the renowned Japanese artist Akira Uno, is a highlight. In addition to previously released tracks created through collaborations with Kazuha Izawa, millennium parade, and Miliyah Kato, this album includes 11 tracks in total, including new collaborations with Hidetoshi Mukai, BIGYUKI, Jun Miyake, and Hiromasa Izuchi.
