"Arikitari na Onna" (ありきたりな女?, "An Ordinary Woman"), also known by its French title "Une femme ordinaire", is a song by Japanese musician Ringo Sheena. It was the leading promotional song for her fifth album Hi Izuru Tokoro on October 1, 2014.
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. In 2013, Sheena began a year of celebration for the 15th anniversary since her debut. This began with the single "Irohanihoheto" / "Kodoku no Akatsuki" in May, two albums released on November 13, 2013: Ukina, a collaboration compilation album and Mitsugetsu-shō, a live compilation album, and ended with Gyakuyunyū: Kōwankyoku, a self-cover album of songs Sheena had written for other musicians.
After the production of Gyakuyunyū: Kōwankyoku, Sheena was asked by Japanese broadcaster NHK to create a song for their soccer broadcasts in 2014, beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup. After being asked in March, Sheena quickly wrote and recorded the song at the start of April. This song, "Nippon", was released as a single in June, and was commercially successful, becoming certified gold for digital downloads by the RIAJ.
The song was released as a digital download on October 1, a month before the release of Hi Izuru Tokoro. On October 24, Sheena performed "Arikitari na Onna" at Music Station.
