So, I know this is old and all, but I still don't understand the basis of this statement. It's simply put one of the most absurd and ignorant statements I've ever read on this forum (even going back to the RJ days). I'm trying to get a feel for how Ringo/Jihen's music has more depth than Luna Sea's since you denied personal preference. Luna Sea uses the standard band instruments (two guitars, bass, and drums), adds as many "filler" instruments (piano, violin, etc) as Jihen and early Shiina, and then layers the guitar (three Inorans, two Sugizos for example) at times. Ryuichi's lyrics are also better and more poetic than Ringo's. They play with heart and desire. What more can you want? These songs are my final attempt sharing Luna Sea's amazing music:

If you can't hear the depth of these songs, you either don't like non-Ringo music or you're deaf.
