This is how I'm starting to see things:

MM to Kyouiku: Shiina Ringo TM era- music for art and all that BS. For me, peaks with KZK.

Adult to Color Bars/Carnation Nu Ringo era- experimenting into jazz, fuddy duddy musak but with plenty of heart in it. Less songwriting happening, rehashing begins. For me, peaks with SG.

Jihen breakup material to present: Executive Ringo era- everything comes with a price or is a business decision. Time will tell what high point is.
