Things that interested me:

Ryuukou isn't a collab with just HZM and Mummy D, but with PEZ and Maboroshi

Shiina's biggest involvement in arrangement is 0 maru chiten kara, in which she did piano and lead synth.

The other half of bakeneko killer, Inoue, did the programming work in MaruSad.

the link you have there goes to Tokyo Jihen's wiki, so I'm assuming you meant the SG album page? If you go to the bottom of the SG page there are hidden subpages for the individual members on each track and if you look the info you posted is in there. I didn't know that, that is pretty cool. One small thing I noticed too is that the bassist from Petrolz makes an appearance playing in Marunouchi Sadistic.

about ringo's arrangements, she arranged ryuukou, zero chiten kara, togatta teguchi, and bonsai hada, all either as herself or part of Bakeneko Killer. In Zero Chiten Kara I think the "piano and lead synth" is referring to the fact that she manipulated, or rather "played," lead synth along with piano in the track. She also arranged the song along with the programmer and inoue (with him as bakeneko). but yes, other than the fact that every track is a true solo song (written entirely by ringo herself), zero chiten kara would seem to be one of the tracks containing the most influence/production from Ringo (excluding Bonsai Hada, which is literally Ringo singing over an accordion...what is there to influence?), kind of funny since it is the only track on the the album I've grown to like!

cool finds!

I just realised...


That this.

Irokoizata

...sounds a lot like...


...these.

Summer Son

I see a differerent you

Irokoizata has that Koop lounge/jazz sound for sure...
It's almost like SR studied Koop's compositions before she wrote Irokoizata.

^ Not got much to add at this point apart from the singer in both Koop tracks is Yukimi Nagano and I See A Different You is really nice.
That occured to me too, maybe SR & Koop both were influenced by the same band(s)?

Apparently Yukimi Nagano was only 15 when she did the vocals on Summer Son...

I was trying to look up Koop's influences..."Swedish 60's folk/jazz artists like Jan Johansson and Monica Zetterlund, United Future Organization and Jeff Mills."

United Future Organisation!!! They are from Japan... SR probably knows them herself.

Yukimi Nagano is also the lead singer to the band Little Dragon
who has a new album out call Machine Dreams which is a totally different style from Koop, Little Dragon is more electro, i love their sound

Woah.. I never heard of them before, but after listening to several songs of theirs.. I am hooked! Yay for new music (for me, that is)! Wooop!

Thanks for posting these. (:

EDIT: Just bought both of their albums. *screams like a fan girl*

[justriiingo]

Yeah Little Dragon is Yukimi Nagano's solo project. I don't actually like Little Dragon so much, except for one of their songs called "Twice".
