Unless they're fans, I don't think many people in Japan know about Shiina other than her big singles like "GIPS", "ここでキすして" or "本能". I had some older women as Japanese language partners before and I asked them if they knew Shiina. They said of course they know her, and said they knew a couple of her singles from the SS and MM days, but never listened to her beyond that.

As for TJ. I enjoyed Adult-Sports, but nothing beyond that. A couple songs from "Color Bars" were good. I see no need for them to return other than a short reunion tour.
