Adult was the change of direction that has kinda led into what we have today. She was spectacular in the Adult-era. Her attitude soured on this forum after constantly being trolled/attacked. She's truly a lovely lady to talk to.

Speaking about the way the forum has changed... a hell of a lot less talk about the Jihen boy's projects. I remember quite a lot of the older members enjoyed Petrolz a bit... and this year, barely a mention of their new album- which I hear is really good but haven't bothered with yet.
I'm not blaming this on anyone, just kinda suggests that quite a bit of interest in Ringo did also stem from her work with Jihen- perhaps moreso than I initially thought. Maybe moreso than we all would like to admit. This is interesting to me, given the amount of vitriol spewed at Phase 2 back in the day, yet most of them members disappeared with the death of Jihen. Does this suggest that Jihen Phase 2, while it had it's faults- was just a lot more interesting to talk about than modern era Ringo? I now look back on that time with fondness, and really miss the nasty ass comments from certain users. Strange days indeed. Anyway I did do a Petrolz review https://deadgrandmablog.wordpress.co...z-renaissance/

I still need to listen to most of that album.. thanks for the reminder! Uki's been doing a lot since Jihen disbanded.. I've come across numerous live videos with him on guitar. I was just watching this one a few minutes ago. Pretty cool stuff.

On a related note, sampled the new Petrolz album in Tsutaya when I was in Japan - was great! Can't remember any tunes offhand since I only casually gleaned through it, but I remember really enjoying it. |

I guess my wording is a bit confusing. Plus, you're only partially quoting me.
What I mean was that Jihen, for better or worse, were at least way more interesting/argument provoking than current Ringo. And damn do I miss those heated debates.

Soooo, I'm going to be in Okinawa July 22nd-August 1st, and then in Tokyo from August 1st to the 6th.
What are my chances of seeing this lady live? It's a dream. I guess I just have to cross my fingers! |

Not that the ability to polarise is always a good thing. I don't need my artists to be controversial for me to enjoy their work. A good song is a good song. |
