Default In 2022, how often do you listen to Shiina Ringo?

If anyone's still out here, that is. It's obvious this forum's peak occurred around the era of Sanmon Gossip/Sports around 2009-10 (if not earlier)... And since then the forum has slowly declined in activity, gone offline for a few years mid-2010s and then revived just in time for Sandokushi's release in 2019. And while a lot of the activity has moved to Facebook and other venues (anyone else miss forum culture?), the reception to SR/TJ's recent material has remained mixed-to-positive at best. In a way, we're still lucky to be getting anything at all, but it's also natural for listenership to decline as the most enthusiastic of fans age, the next generation of artists rise, etc. etc.

So, the question - how often do you listen to Ringo in 2022? What are the albums or tracks that keep you coming back? How do her recent works (Sandokushi and Ongaku) stack up to her ouvre now that some time has passed? Do you still keep up with the new stuff, or are you a diehard old head? Or have you given up the ghost and stick around for the memes?
