I also like the bridge in Kodoku no Akatsuki but it really is just shoved in there. I agree that it's not organic... in Irohanihoheto it sort of works and to be honest, I like it because it (the bridge) reminds me of her older works.

I think the train of thought was interrupted. It wouldn't surprise me if it was Ringo. I wonder if she ever had Junpei on her show. I think she said she used to co-host it with Barry White (sometimes?). It's been a while, so sorry if this sounds like I'm making it up as I go along, but it's kind of hazy at this point.)
