What's wrong with her personality? She just American to me. It shows that she went to school here. She is shockingly quick witted at times but she has the tendency to express things too harshly. Other than that, what's to hate?

I was introduce to Shiina and Chitose through hikki and ayumi's chart battle of 2001. Everyone within top 10 oricon for November 2001 has at least one album in my library. Shiina, Chitose, Ayumi, and Judy and Mary stuck however.

GIGAcorrupt and I are Utadanet natives. I've been visiting Electric Mole and RingoJihen since Adult. We introduced him to Shiina earlier this year there at UNet.

I actually wish that Shiina would work with Utada again before she retires. She is officially on Hiatus Jan 1 2011. We are getting a best album and 3 new songs it would seem and then a possible 2 yr wait til new material. I doubt she will write or compose for anyone else during the time either.

Oh and on a side note, Shiina and Asian Kung fu generation got me into Number Girl, Zazen Boys, Toddle, Spiral Chord and Vola & The Oriental Machine. The later names are all the bands started by the members of Number Girl after they broke up. They were a band from Fukuoka that were very well respected among the indie scene and got signed EMI around the same as Shiina did. The lead guitarist, Hisako was in the band Hatsuiku Status with Shiina(she also was rumored to be why Shiina learned guitar). She later worked with Inazawa(drums) on Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana and Mukai(Vocals/r.guitar) on Zazen Boys II album. If this band didn't exist, I don't know how Shiina's music today.
