I googled Tomosaka's diary/blog for "Shiina Ringo" and just "Ringo" but I didn't see any recent mentions. If any of you Japanese speakers are feeling nosy, her diary mentions Ringo a bunch of time- having dinner together, reminiscing about old times etc.

That's the typical sophisticated air the over-the-hill idols have. Kyoko Koizumi, Miho Nakayama and Kudo Shizuka are 40+ and they're all like that. But a lot of them seem to have gone even further in crossing over into becoming legitimate actresses.
About those blog entries, my Japanese is reeeeeally rusty but all I can really spot out is her saying how on rides to and fro places she played a Ringo or Tokyo Jihen song or talking about a new release. She says she had dinner with her here and here.
Here she seems to call her "Ingo chan", which I thought was cute. And there's a personalized note to her from something to do with Hesei Fuuzoku.
But with all the song mentions I wonder if she's more of a big fan rather than a friend? But I've never seen definite sources from Ringo or Rie to sway either way. Maybe there's someone who does. :X
Anyway, I'm excited. I really liked the other songs she wrote for Rie. Plus it's nice to see Rie hasn't dropped off the face of the earth. |
