My personal view:

I think back (and look back) on comments around Daihakken and Color Bars. While it was generally negative, with Jihen, it never felt as personal that they were releasing overall just OK music. They never felt like they OWED me anything at that point. It was just my annual fix of Ringo while waiting for her to get her next solo release out. And it worked. I don't know why I was so excited to see them go anymore. With albums like Sunny coming out, it's just like they're still around but now the blame is solely on Ringo. It's much more painful than any Jihen disappointment because I had been waiting for so long for her to follow up Sanmon Gossip. And now we get stuff like NIPPON, Jiyuu e Michidzure and Shijou no Jinsei which could easily be a Jihen singles anyway. Seems so pointless.
