I dunno, I like her being Shiina Ringo in TJ. >_< (Of course, I wouldn't like her any less if she did go by Yumiko, though.) I guess it would've made a bigger impact if she did leave her name as well, but I can't help thinking that Ringo will always be her affectionate nickname. >_< <3

Strangely I think "Ringo" suits her better. Yumiko seems too cute and adorable.

Ringo is such cool name and shorter too which is always good ^_^. If she changed her name it would be annoying because then I'd have two names for the same artists on my music library @_@.

That's true, I also find it hard to imagine her as a Yumiko. @_@

I also find it annoying when artists have to change their name! >_< I haven't found out how to sort them into one artist on iTunes yet, so it's all messed up on my iPod now. =_=

Ah. Use the sorting function in iTunes. My Japanese music use mostly kanji tags but I put their romanji names in the sorting tag just so I can search quicker. The stupid thing is that you have to input them one by one...

I still can't get the sorting thing to work correctly (or the way I want it to) on my iPod. T_T Only one version of the name comes up. =_=

How do you want it to work?
