Hirama's solo work contains some downright disgusting stuff and some really really cool stuff. Maybe Hirama alone can't write "Ringo classics" but Hirama and Ringo in a team sure can come up with something good. I agree Izawa/Ringo make a good songwriting team - Goldfish Box and Kaban no Nakami are probably the best songs in this era of TJ. At the same time, Izawa also wrote SSAW -.- With all due respect for Kameda, I really don't like his songwriting style. Superstar, Toumei Ningen, Private Life, Senkou Shojou... it's becoming very predictable.
But oh well... even if SR starts writing songs again, it may sound totally different now.
