Shiina is, to me, the supreme model of femininity. I admire how she's not only a talented musician and composer, but also über-original. We're not talking about Lady GaGa who might know how to play piano but hides behind her questionable fashion sense to have fame. Shiina has it all. She's super feminine without being slutty, talented like I've never heard or seen a Japanese solo singer be, that's what I admire her for. My favourite album is Heisei Fuuzoku, even though it seems a lot of people didn't like it. ♥
But other than TJ and SR, I listen to ALI PROJECT, industrial rock band D'espairsRay, Pink Floyd, old 30's jazz and Malice Mizer, to name just the favourites.
So yep, that's it!

welcome welcome and bravo on loving Heisei Fuuzoku! I think some of us longtime fans are a bit jaded and don't have the proper perspective to view that work honestly, it is so great to read your post and your opinion of Ringo, like a breath of fresh air!!!
It is funny because most of us love KZK and like the majority of the new Ringo tracks on the album, but yet as a whole dislike the album. Why? I think it is because we were holding out for years for another solo album and when it was released it was publicized as being such. That title was later revoked when Sanmon Gossip came out, which is her truth fourth solo album, anyways...I digress, welcome!
