"Arikitari na Onna" (ありきたりな女, "An Ordinary Woman"), also known by its French title "Une femme ordinaire",[1] is a song by Japanese musician Ringo Sheena.
[2] In 2011, Sheena's band Tokyo Jihen made the mutual decision to split up, and in 2012 released an extended play called Color Bars, and performed a farewell tour Bon Voyage.
After the tour had finished, Sheena released a digital single "Jiyū e Michizure", the theme song for the drama Ataru.
[5][6] This song, "Nippon", was released as a single in June, and was commercially successful, becoming certified gold for digital downloads by the RIAJ.
As she hits the floor, the second version of Sheena falls out of a box onto the stage of an empty theatre, where she gives a dramatic reading of the song.
