She doesn't seem that popular. I just watched her Girls Factory performance and she received lukewarm applause from the audience. Granted most of them were there to see groups like Momoiro Clover Z and the setlist was pretty boring.
I discovered this great song called オトコノコノコトオ (and it actually has organs) from her indie debut Unhappy Birthday, and the song reminds me of Ringo's Identity. Dunno why she chooses to make stripped-down rock songs like 善悪の彼岸 when she's clearly capable of making music with more avant-garde arrangement. I just hope her full-length album is good and that she restrains those breathy vocals. They are nowhere as powerful and emotive compare to Ringo's twisted wailing.
