Why would we be hearing about any Tokyo Jihen stuff? Personally, I think that project has run its course. I really hope they never bring it back.
Shiina's recent tour is new (though that's limited to certain people, unfortunately). This announcement, while they are songs she's lent to other people, is new. It's going to have a fresh take on the material. Has Shiina even sung any of these songs herself? I'm really looking forward to hearing them.
Considering Shiina has just had another child and is feeling pretty content in her world, I wouldn't put much pressure on her to put out new material. Maybe she is working on writing new songs? Who knows. Seems she has a lot of leeway with how she can use her time in the musical world these days.
