Default When will it end?

So...i noticed a similiarity of how shena ringo is dropping albums in the tj era that matched the sr era...
begins w 2 albums, then a cover album(she covered herself recently) and then one more...and that is the end.
will there be another big change?

what if she saved her mole somewhere and is going to put it back on...
that's gross...but, really.

No, i haven't. I have a monroe instead. So, this way, it sparkles.


Anyways, think about it. How long do you think she will be happy with this? She is always changing, rotating ideas, etc.

I hope the 3rd album would be more melodic and less rock-oriented, then as soon as she hits the road for the tour, she'll go through the whole changing style thang and start playing hard rock ver of all the songs like Killer tune and Pinnochio. Kinda like Silverchair when they released Diarama, which is a really melodic and musical album, but when they play live, they just flip the heavy metal switch.

ringo maintained her entire solo career that "shiina ringo" was a persona she had created and that under such persona she would only make 3 albums, which is why after the 3rd one and somewhat infamous performance of Ringo no Uta fans had already guessed she was forming a seperate band.

Seeing as TJ is going strong and is fairly popular, I can see them going for a while longer. I think the longer Ringo is with them the more tempting it will be for her to make her own side works seperate from the band, so I can see her adding to her own solo name again or relegating her solo work to the band's singles etc.

But TJ as an outfit seems like a really comfortable set up for her, just letting her do whatever, anything goes. So I don't really see it ending with Variety or even an album after that. The members all seem very close and happy with one another more or less. (btw on kronekodow they have photos from the video shoots now and the shoot for KT is hilarious, people are all gathered around watching like WTF IS GOING ON and the band is just in the middle of the street drenched standing around, XD)

I can very well see TJ continuing for quite a while longer, but HF is already telling us that she's not going to be content with TJ alone - she seems a bit to eclectic and sporadic to be satisfied with her one band for all her creative outlets. I think as far as TJ ending because of this, it's not likely - the solo project "had" to end so she could shed her idol status and not carry it on with her to make Tokyo Jihen "Shiina Ringo's band." (Though some would argue that this failed and it is in fact "Shiina Ringo's band.") I don't think the stigma that applied here applies to Tokyo Jihen, so if she does want to move on creatively she can still carry on solo without Tokyo Jihen disbanding.

My guess is that TJ ends with Variety.

how could you possibly assume Variety would be the last, unless you say well Ringo had 3, so TJ has to have 3 as well? That makes no sense

and despite how people feel about the musical direction, the fact that Ringo is making the other band members compose for this album speaks more to me of the members stretching their feet than a last attempt at an album. If anything I think the experience of having them write in her stead is just going to give the band a wide perspective and more things to draw/work from in the future.

y'all haters can take it to another board cuz this ship ain't sunk yet.
