yup...mokuren no cream is painful to listen to...

My question is was she that much of a successful singer that she
warrants a comeback?
Coz I didn't think she was... I thought she was better known for acting.

[Glathannus]

She's better known for taking most of her clothes off.

yeah, this album news is kind of bizarre. where did the news come from? I want to look at the complete track listing/credits etc

maybe she got signed to a certain amount of records and her label requested another or something.

I believe they estan that laying it the way to be the new singer of TJ ........ Ringo has in mind his race alone

[Scribble R]

Er, this was pretty unexpected. It irks me seeing Izawa and Ukigumo writing for her as well as SR, though

[a_grumble_cake]

there are recent pictures of her on oricon and she looks good but a 30 year old idol... do those even exist?

I googled Tomosaka's diary/blog for "Shiina Ringo" and just "Ringo" but I didn't see any recent mentions. If any of you Japanese speakers are feeling nosy, her diary mentions Ringo a bunch of time- having dinner together, reminiscing about old times etc.

That's the typical sophisticated air the over-the-hill idols have. Kyoko Koizumi, Miho Nakayama and Kudo Shizuka are 40+ and they're all like that. But a lot of them seem to have gone even further in crossing over into becoming legitimate actresses.

About those blog entries, my Japanese is reeeeeally rusty but all I can really spot out is her saying how on rides to and fro places she played a Ringo or Tokyo Jihen song or talking about a new release. She says she had dinner with her here and here.
Here she seems to call her "Ingo chan", which I thought was cute. And there's a personalized note to her from something to do with Hesei Fuuzoku.
But with all the song mentions I wonder if she's more of a big fan rather than a friend? But I've never seen definite sources from Ringo or Rie to sway either way. Maybe there's someone who does. :X

Anyway, I'm excited. I really liked the other songs she wrote for Rie. Plus it's nice to see Rie hasn't dropped off the face of the earth.
