Utaite Myouri ~sono ichi~ (唄ひ手冥利 ～其ノ壱～ Singer's Luck ~part one~?) is Ringo Sheena’s first cover album released on May 27, 2002 by Toshiba EMI, which is the set of two discs. The album reached #1 and has since sold 409,000 copies. It was certified Platinum by the RIAJ.
For Ringo Sheena, this album is the first work after the interval of 1 year 2 months from her maternity leave.
The songs of the musicians who had an influence on her until now is recorded on this album. Sheena usually writes a lyrics and music, but she devoted herself to "a singer" this time. And she entrusted the arrangement to Seiji Kameda who arranged her first and second album together and who arranged her third album together. She selected famous songs mainly by herself from the music which had an influence on her, and ordered them to arrange these songs in their own way.
Sheena parodied the name of arrangers, and the notation of 2 disks is "Kame-pact Disc" and "Mori-pact Disc" respectively. Kame-pact Disk was recorded at once by a garage rock style which she chose daringly in the early days because of lack of the budget. However, in "Mori-pact Disc", a music sequencer is used, and multitrack recording is adopted. That was succeeded in her 3rd album.
The album jacket is designed by Sheena and Yumi Ota who is the employee of her private office. Sheena is in charge of photographs and illustrations of the booklet, and she and Ryosuke Nagaoka (Ukigmo) design the lettering. The model of hands and feet is Hisako Tabuchi.
Four guest singers participated in each disk by two people. All of them are Sheena's acquaintances. Masamune Kusano is from the same town with her, and he is a senior of her elder brother's high school. He made Seiji Kameda a producer of his band "Spitz" later. is Sheena's friend. Hikaru Utada is Sheena's friend, too, and she sang a duet in the same song with Utada at Toshiba EMI party before, which was floating around all over Japan by Napster. is her elder brother.
