If you really loved HZM, you should be happy he's back in PE'Z. That band is really gimped without him. He and Wataru Oyama are the foundation of the band. There's a strong bond between those 5 guys that you can see.

whoever said that any pianist could do well in Tokyo Jihen, you could be right. Hiizumi looked really bored sometimes playing with TJ. Ringo's material leaves little room for jazz improv and a bit on the formulaic and simple side.

His antics are almost sarcastic like, "hey, I can play this standing backwards with one leg up on the keyboard because I only have to play 2 chords." Don't ask DaVinci to draw stick figures!

Izawa is another overqualified pianist and is a well rounded musician. Wasn't he recommended by HZM to Ringo anyway?
