I don't miss them. Sunny wasn't the most mindblowing album but at least there's the possibility of major change between releases (i.e. collaborating with different artists. You couldn't get Reimport under the Jihen name).

And I didn't really sign up for Ukizawa/Kameda/Hata's songwriting. With a shitty SR song there is at LEAST some comfort in it sounding vaguely like Kabukichou or whatever. The Jihen guys tend to be completely hit-or-miss with me -- I know that with any new Jihen album release will be a significant chunk of music that will disappoint me.

I don't understand what she is doing with her latest single, though. I feel no motivation to give it a full listen. Very 'meh.'

(I voted for 3, but I still enjoy aspects of both Jihen and SR's newer work. I just think she hasn't soared above the kind of music she was making with them)
