Any of the studio guitarists from Shouso Strip would do fine. Or Nagoshi. I think Hirama is a closed door, and Asai Kenichi is way too friggin important to be in a band ran by somebody else.
We're probably still going to get Izawa singing sometimes, which I don't have a problem with in Appa, but in Tokyo Jihen the only vocals I want to hear are from Shiina Ringo. I also don't have a problem with Izawa composing 1/6th of whatever is on an album. Anything beyond that should come from Shiina Ringo herself, or a nonbackup guitarist.
For anyone who wants Ukigumo gone so badly - be careful what you wish for. I have to agree with Maou that some guitarists like Yayoshi are worse. For all we know, we could end up with another Yayoshi.
Stay tuned for a digitally re-remastered PV of Meisai with Ukigumo removed out of the background. It'll be the PV that Shiina Ringo "always wanted, but didn't have the resources to produce before".
