This is exactly what I've been thinking. Ringo may claim to be part of the band now, but she still handles a large majority of the songwriting and compositions and calls the shots; once an HBIC, always an HBIC.

I've read and heard a lot of claims that KSK dried up her creative well and she formed Tokyo Jihen as an excuse to either a. make life easier for herself by write simpler material or b. keep herself from having to admit that she won't be able to eclipse it, and I'm starting to think that maybe these claims are true. After all, she must have accepted input from the musicians she worked with while she was a solo artist, so it's not as if she was ever completely on her own and has finally had enough of it.

Still, I love her work as part of Tokyo Jihen (yes...both phases!) as much as her solo work, so I shouldn't complain.
