BTW, I like Bonnie Pink now.
She's not revolutionary or experimental or whatever, but her music is super emotional. I'm really into the Daisy EP (especially Hang Glider), and OMG the first minute of Only for Him is GENIUS.
What I find really amazing about her lyrics is that even with a happy song about how much she can depend on the person she loves, she makes it sound really sad. Like, Bonnie only has two settings: post-breakup depression and dating meloncholy.

LOVE it. The lyrics to Tsumetai Ame: I wish Japanese female musicians had more of this bravery. In the anglophone market, you have a lot of women singing openly about patriarchy and such, but I find this is a lot rarer in Japanese music. Even for Ringo, she doesn't talk openly about such subjects often.
