I returned to Kyoiku and Adult few weeks ago and it was a great listen. Contrary to the poster above me I find Variety pretty decent but Sports is the one that's terrible. Daihakken is incredibly uneven - I love 'Sora ga natte iru' but Onnanoko is indeed atrocious. I believe Color bars wasn't as bad as people make it.
Honestly, I prefer solo Shiina output hands down, but I'm still gonna take anything she participates in.
In the end, Tokyo Jihen was a nice ride... A ride she will certainly take again. Reunions just seem unavoidable in the music industry and I think Ringo is going to follow that path sooner or later, whether it would be for a tour or a new single, and I'm fine with that.
