ETB5 4,512 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't listen to Japanese music much but I really like this song: And recently, I came across this other song which I have had on repeat like 2 days and it turns out Shiina sings it, as well. What would you say is her music's genre?? Do you recommend a specific album I should listen to?? Also, is it Shiina or Sheena?? I've seen it written as Shiina more often but her youtube channel says Sheena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkeuphoria 1,785 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Her music is seriously amazing. I know this is old, but this is forever one of my favorite songs ever Honestly, her second album is my favorite but you should listen to them all. There's a lot of good stuff ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn the Clocks 510 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'd say her genre is Rock mixed with Jazz with a light sprinkling of traditional Japanese :P My favourite album is Heisei Fuzoku (Japanese Manners). It's a bit more on the jazzy side and has the support of a full orchestra so it's pretty epic sounding. Yes she is amazing. I am 100% biased because I've been her fan for a long time and look up to her a lot. But still. Check out her other songs ^^. And watch her live performances too. With and without Tokyo Jihen she is amazing. I'll casually drop my favourite performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGohlKJyt4U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Her music is wonderful. It's a mix of genres: rock, jazz, electronic, pop, enka... She romanizes her name as "Sheena Ringo", but the actual romanization of her name is "Shiina Ringo." My personal favorite album is "Shouso Strip." It features the song "Honnou", which is the one with the nurse outfit that was posted earlier, as well as "Tsumi to Batsu", which a performance of was posted as well. More from that album: Two personal faves from other releases: http://mp3.zing.vn/bai-hat/SG-Superficial-Gossip-Ringo-Shiina/ZWZ9EOOW.html http://mp3.zing.vn/bai-hat/Memai-Shiina-Ringo/ZWZAAWED.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correcaminos20 27 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Based on the two songs you've listened to I would say Sanmon Gossip (my second favorite) or Hi Izuru Tokoro. You can also try Ukina which is a compilation of her previous collaborations, Towa Tei's Apple is part of that album. Tokyo Jihen (her ex-band) is also close to that sound, especially Sports. Her "masterpiece" according to most fans (including me) would be Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana but it's not entirely similar musically to those two songs even if it still is Shiina Ringo. She likes Sheena for whatever reason. Genre: Basically jazz, rock and pop are always there in different degrees: First two albums were more pop/rock, third album rock/jazz, 4th and 5th albums jazz/pop.

Midna 2,032 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 She's good. Very creative artist, and her lives are great. She does a lot of rock, but switches up with different genres. Her voice does take a bit to get used to, but her music is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveTaoThanks 80 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Her third album is my favorite. It can get pretty weird comparing to her other works but I really like. All of her albums are on point though. Can't go wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5eNefws1yM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkIlE-Pf0xU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it turns out the song I posted above (things would be so much easier if her songs had English titles as well ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBgU-r69fek is part of Ukina. Although, I have to admit I like the performance version more than the mv version. I'll be giving Sanmon Gossip and Hi Izuru Tokoro a listen soon. Thank you again btw, I like your username. It reminds me of . If you guys have any suggestions for other Japanese artists I should check out, don't hesitate telling me; I would greatly appreciate it. The only other Japanese artist I listen to is Shishido Kavka (and I just found out we were both born in the same country...like, what are the odds of that happening?? I think it was meant to be ). I tend to prefer female artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Akai Koen, it's an all female band (pop/rock). For a more well-known group I guess everyone likes Perfume (electropop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
