It's impossible for old Cocco to be "generic" when she makes music so similar to old Ringo. Here's a small list of songs if you want to try her out again: No Music, No Life Hane ~Lay Down My Arms~ Plumeria 'Twas on My Birthday Night Unabara no Ningyo Ureta Tsumi Er, on second thought... I'm mostly naming Rapunzel songs so give that album another listen.

Kumui-uta and Bougainvillea rival MM/SS
Cocco's pretty awesome though. She had a literal mental breakdown. (ignoring that she re-emerged completely neutered) That's pretty rock and roll.

I checked out Rapunzel and Zansaian. I mean, I wouldn't call it bad music or anything - I don't mind listening to it at all, but it's just not touching or interesting enough to me. I kinda liked Rapunzel's かがり火 and けもの道, though. Maybe it's not even her songs, but just her voice that's being too ordinary and "generic" sounding to me. I mean, you can recognize her voice better than that of your average idol girl, but it's still lacking some sort of uniqueness as those of vocalists I usually like have. |

Who are the vocalists you usually like? I'd be grateful if you can recommend me some. |

Have you ever listened to fra-foa? Mikami Chisako has the only Japanese voice I prefer over Cocco's. The first fra-foa album, Chuu no Fuchi, is really good if you like heavy, brooding albums.

Thanks for the pointer! All the fra-foa songs seem to be on YouTube. I listened to a few, haven't formed a definite opinion yet.
What I like about Cocco is not only the timbre of her voice, but also how she utilizes it the same way Ringo does. Both singers sing with force, without timidity and fragility. Cocco might cry during band rehearsals due to frustration, but I think she's one tough chick. |

9mm Parabellum Bullet's Sugawara Takuro Go!Go!7188/Chirinuruwowaka's Yuu Thee Michelle Gun Elephant/ROSSO/The Birthday's Chiba Yusuke Muse's Matt Bellamy Along with Shiina Ringo those would be some of my favorites. |

I'm really impressed by this live performance and Cocco's unique sense of fashion! Listening to her first four albums non-stop. |

One thing to always remember during any Cocco/Shiina comparison is background. Shiina is Tokyo cool; Cocco is a native of Okinawa.
Cocco is more naive and sincere, and Shiina is more worldly and clever. |

I have to disagree that she became bland after her first 3 albums. her latest one, EMERALD, was amazing imo and so was her 2007 single "Dugong no Mieru Oka", I also loved the new songs on her latest best of. but then I don't want her to do rock like Ringo, I have ringo for that. I'm more into her folky\okinawan stuff
