"Script error: No such module "Nihongo"." is a concert video recorded on Ringo Shiina's nationwide "Script error: No such module "Nihongo"." tour in the summer of 2003. The DVD was released on December 17, 2003, by distributor Toshiba EMI/Virgin Music.[1][2][3]
The first pressing of the DVD was available as a special limited edition, entitled "Script error: No such module "Nihongo"." 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.
Outline
"Electric Mole" is a recording of the final concert of Shiina's nationwide 2003 "Script error: No such module "Nihongo"." 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.
