Default Okay Then, SR B-Sides vs. TJ B-Sides

After "Variety" versus its' B-Sides, I just had to ask-


On the whole, which do you prefer- Solo Shiina B-Sides or Tokyo Jihen B-Sides?


Personally, my must-haves are
Solo Shiina: Tokyo no Onna, Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, Ichijiku no Hana, all HF-era B-Sides
TJ: Essentially everything but BB Queen and Dynamite

IMHO, TJ's B-Sides are consistently more album-worthy than Ringo's so, Tokyo Jihen for me. And you?

Favorites:

Solo: Sigma, Toki ga Bousou Suru, Remote Controller, and Ringo Catalog.
TJ: BB.Queen (probably my favorite b-side of her career, this or Sigma), Kokoro, Pinocchio, really everything now that I think about it.

So I guess Jihen for me as well, although there's so much more variety in her solo b-sides that it's like comparing apples to shampoo, y'know?

Kao > Dynamite > Kurumaya-San > BB Queen




They are apples to shampoo, though

Overall, I think Jihen's B-sides are better but nothing beats Aisaika no Choshoku.

Ringo all the way. Save for her "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" cover and "Sigma", her b-sides are pretty much perfect. Memai, Toki ga Bosou Suru, Suberidai, Aisaika no Choushoku are all perfect.

I love both Koi wa Maboroshi and Rakujitsu, but other than that TJ's b-sides are fully lackluster.

Ironically "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" and "Sigma" are two of my favorite B-sides of hers.

all of Ringo's b-sides are good stuff. "Cant take my eyes out" and "Tokyo no Onna" arent written by her though.

whhhhhhhhhat. Are you people even fans of shiina ringo... How can you even like a song like bbqueen.

On topic, I would say that the best bside is suberidai.

I personally don't think there's even competition between them.

The only TJ b-side I love is Kokoro. I like Kaban no Nakami, but not the single version, so no =P
