Mikio is still pretty unknown, I'd put him in the same category with Petrolz and APPA, or even lower as far as fans-independent-of-Jihen. Although he had a seemingly solid career as a stage musician he may have grabbed the most fans from Ringo because almost everyone who even knows his name is an avid Jihen fan but it doesn't change the fact that his solo stuff rocks. I wish he'd stop treating that foreign girl as his main project because he needs to be singing.

I don't really see any of them as riding Ringo's coat tails because their all solid musicians, solid enough to Ringo and her posse to recognize, though it did take the phase 2 guys a while to shine.
