"Electric Mole ()" is a concert video recorded on Ringo Shiina's nationwide "Sugoroku Ecstasy ( Sugoroku Ecstasy)" tour in the summer of 2003. The DVD was released on December 17, 2003 by distributor Toshiba EMI/Virgin Music.
The first pressing of the DVD was available as a special limited edition, entitled "Hardcover Karakuri Book Shiyou (ハードカバー・カラクリ・ブック仕様 Hardcover Trick Book Style)" and included a book attached to the DVD case which included a photographic history of Shiina's life and musical activities over the past five years, as well as bonus video content on the DVD.
"Electric Mole" is a recording of the final concert of Shiina's nationwide 2003 "Sugoroku Ecstasy (雙六エクスタシー Sugoroku Ecstasy)" tour, held at the Nippon Budokan. The concert showcases a variety of songs from her debut album "Muzai Moratorium", sophomore album "Shōso Strip", and cover album "Utaite Myōri: Sono Ichi".
Midway through the concert, footage cuts to a different night's performance, skipping the songs "Kōfukuron" and "Ringo no Uta", the debut of the latter, which were played live but did not make it onto the concert DVD. Consequently, some fans expressed disappointment with the way the footage was edited for the DVD.
As background video displayed during the concert shows Shiina's trademark mole disappearing from her left cheek, the DVD's title of "Electric Mole" is assumed to reference to this, and the way she later had the mole surgically removed in the winter of 2003.
"Shiina Ringo Jitsuen Tour (椎名林檎 実演ツアー Shiina Ringo Stage Show Tour) Sugoroku Ecstasy (雙六エクスタシー Sugoroku Ecstasy)" is the third nationwide concert tour by Ringo Shiina. The tour was in support of her third album Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana, though she performed material from her first two albums extensively, and spanned eight cities in prefectures across Japan, namely Tokyo, Aichi, Hiroshima, Hyougo, Kyoto, Hokkaido, Fukuoka and Okinawa. Two tour dates each were held in Tokyo and Fukuoka, for a total of ten. The tour initially spanned August 23 to September 21, with the final Budokan concert on September 27 added at the end.
