Nah. I'm not a huge Jihen fan anyway, but it'd feel regressive to me. Obviously given that Ringo can put Sanmon b-sides on SUNNY and release albums like Heisei Fuuzoku (which I liked) and Reimports (which I didn't particularly like) then she's not afraid to retread old ground, so it wouldn't be totally out of character for her, but that was never really the Ringo I was interested in. The cynical, post NIPPON/coca cola ad me thinks a Jihen reunion would end up being something tacky like a 2020 Olympics tie-in, but the optimist in me that really loves her hopes that she's not particularly interested in going back to whatever she was doing 5-10 years ago.

I haven't really followed the rest of the band (aside from Hata being on the last tricot record) but I'd hope they all have more interesting things to be doing anyway.

edit: that said, if they wanna release a studio version of that one version of souretsu then I can tolerate a hundred more NIPPON-esque singles.
