Yes. If you look into it, you'll see that the crew who worked on Shiina's MM and SS often work together on other albums. It's very common to see Kameda, Susumu Nishikawa, Yukio Nagoshi, Masayuki Muraishi, and Kaasuke Kawamura listed in the credits of some album usually fronted by a female. I'm sure there's several of these groups around.
This is also a bit off-topic, but I don't know where to put it so... A long time ago (pre Jihen) I heard that Shiina dislikes Hitomi Yaida. I suspect it's because guitarist Susumu Nishikawa left Ringo's Gyakutai Glycogen band after the Senkou Ecstasy tour to play in Yaiko's band instead. Anybody heard anything else?
