i discovered shiina ringo when i were at a myspace-profile and the song playing there were nothing else but "Gibs". I got curious, and started searched after more music of Shiina on youtube and became somewhat obsessed and got the sakuran-movie and today i got the Shouso Strip-album! I just recently started to listen to Tokyo Johen to, but i prefer Shiina as a soloartist. my gosh, she's my favorite soloartist ever!

Well, I'm new, so I might as well share my experience. I was talking to someone on aim one night, and she was asking me all kinds of questions. One of them was "who's your favorite female artist?" and I stopped for a moment, and couldn't think of one. She said her favorite was Shiina Ringo, to which I replied "I've heard of her..."

She sent me a link to the video for Yami ni Furu Ame. Right away I was impressed. (I'm a sucker for string instruments, and layered melodies, and somewhat eccentric vocals) So from then on I've been getting more and more into her work.

That's how you start, you listen to one and you have to listen more.
Welcome to the forums Ruka.

Ah! You could probably tell your friend about EMF as well ;P

Then talk to her again starting now. Unless she's a bitch who broke your heart.

I first heard of Ringo when a friend sent me the Kabukicho no jo'ou PV through MSN.
I didn't like it at first, but a few days after I watched, I found myself humming it without thinking.. it was stuck in my head. D:!
Kinda like cigarettes in a way.. at first you smoke one.. until the nicotine kicks in and leaves you sputtering for more.
So, I watched the Identity PV on youtube, and I was like wtf. o.o this girl's wierd.
..I like that. :]
So I googled her and found this effin' HUGE torrent with nearly all of her songs.
Needless to say, I dl'd it. But I still feel guilty for stealing from such a great artist.
Yattsuke Shigoto. ishiki, and Okonomide were the three songs that actually foored me.. no other songs did that before..
But its all good. i'm buying physical copies now.
I found an almost new copy of Shouso Strip in a chinatown bookstore that was closing down. I still smile everytime I think about my luck.
I'm ordering Muzai Moratorium and KSK soon. almost 2 months worth of allowance; I have to get a job to feed my addiction. XD

2007, I was tired of listening to music in general and I wanted something original and new for once.

So, I went on youtube and typed in "Jrock bands" on the search. First thing that popped up was Tokyo Jihen's Kurumaya-san performance on Dynamite OUT.

Then it snowballed towards Killer Tune, Osca, etc. etc.

I think because of that fateful day, I believe I was destined to be a fan of Shiina Ringo.

I love reading these stories...
I'm surprised TJ was anywhere near the first page when searching 'jrock bands'. It's all fan videos for visual kei bands these days.
