Don't be discouraged NIMH. People post to make their voices heard. But many other people just read. To learn. It's the readers who will be influenced by posts as well written as yours, because they are reading with an open mind and not because they have something to say. You'll probably never get the response you mentioned, written and posted as a reply. But I assure you millions have changed their thinking after just reading this vast resource called the Internet.
On topic: Defining a personality based on musical genre is a very strange thing to do. Instead, look at lifestyle, personal interactions, maybe her lyrics. But genre? In my view, SR is one of the rare artists who has kept it real. Most artists are limited by their labels, their fans, or by their own capabilities to always express the same thing. If SR wants to express something new, something different, then she does, and she does it well. She's got musical wanderlust, she's curious, and she has a work ethic. And in that she has been consistent throughout her career. |

This is hilarious. Whose philosophy? I think you'll find it's yours and always was. 'Artistic trust'? What you have is either liking the music or not. Everything else is you speculating about the intentions and personality of a total stranger. Plus a lot of feelings. |

All the complaints here seem like child's play compared to what a monster Ringo has become after 2015 (lol?)

I've mellowed in the last, let's check this thread date, 11 years Fauxie. You're right there's a fair bit of projection that goes on in fandoms. I don't think that's necessarily wrong. I don't even think it's wrong to feel upset if an artist starts making things that seem anathema to what you previously enjoyed.
Are you just looking for things to get upset or feel superior about? I'll save your the trouble, they're there. On a lighter note, when i saw this thread title, I thought, what's DG on about now? Boy was I embarrassed

I know, I know, it's from years ago. Apologies for being a bit of a dick with my tone. Not consciously looking to get upset or feel superior about something. I know it's a bit odd for you guys as this is old hat to you, a thread from ages ago, but the forum's new to me and I've been going through all the old threads in the main forum, seeing what fans were thinking at various times about different albums and whatnot. It's fascinating, I have to say. |

I imagine It's very entertaining, especially the time when some people got banned by the late admin who shall not be named because they didn't like ukigumo XD
Oh wait, this was at the old Ringo Jihen forums can we still have access to that?

Just reread this thread and it's interesting to get perspective from 12 years ago since this was literally around the time I was discovering Shiina Ringo. I think 2007 is probably the worst creative year in her entire career (I'll fight you, DG) so no wonder EMF sounded the alarm so quickly.
But I would like to just say this. I think we can all agree that if Ringo were still trying to replicate the "shock value" of Honnou 20 years later it would be a pretty depressing timeline to live in. Probably worse than the "release a couple singles and create a patchwork album" one we live in now. Let me use an example. Remember seeing Harrison Ford again in "The Force Awakens"? A lot of people were excited. I thought we'd see some character progression myself. "I wonder what he's up to now?" we all asked ourselves, eagerly anticipating the movie's release. Well, turns out he's still a smuggler. He's just a lot older now. And looking a lot more tired. And god, that was depressing as shit. Aren't you supposed to learn when you get older? Aren't you supposed to change and get better? Or at least get wiser? Well, you definitely grew up, Jihad. We all did. And for better or worse, Ringo did too.
