My dedication of love to this lady x___x
I know, I know, she actually isn't much of a "sexually confident" sort of chic IRL, but I was browsing teh stock and this picture totally made me think of her. She just... o__o I dunno. I love her. This is my little ode, teeheehee. I do really feel bad contributing to this porn-star cult of hers, because it seems to be something that made her quite uncomfortable in her short-lived solo career... which was more about making good music than anything, and that would make her one of about two or three worthwile Japanese pop-musicians in the past... decade. Anyway. Yay. I'll put the rough copy in the scraps. The stockings took the longest (yes they're stockings) and I'm rather fond of them, and the fact that a proper reference means this doesn't look like "glossy hot-bod" magazine edit garbage. This pic by The mugshot I used to copy Shiina's face from can be found HERE, if you search the page for Shiina Ringo. Opencanvas - 2-3 hours |

I haven't really kept up with her career for a long time though, is she not going solo now?

OMG. Yes, I luv shiina so much... what's the coolest about La salle de bain (besides, well... it's fricking cool) is that yokushitsu, is exactly the same song BUT arranged completely differently. It's amazing just hearing them side by side...
Shiina's capable of so many different things.... her musical arrangements are so delicious... what she does to strings just makes me melt. KYooooo don't get me started on her
Um yeah after the 3rd album, which was pretty experimental by J-pop standards (....experimental music doesn't exist in J-pop) which got decent sales cuz all her fans bought everything with her name on it - and subsequently freaked totally out because of the music. She had a baby around then and then decided it was time to join a band (Tokyo Jihen, they're putting out some lovely stuff nowadays) which is something she's apparently always wanted to do.
That caused it, and I think the image she had... apparently IRL Shiina's a really nice quiet kinda gal and because her music wasn't "OMG hypercute look at the lovely stars I want to KISS!! *blush*", quite the opposite, everyone just assumed she was a suuper-sexually-charged powerwoman. Which wasn't true. Apparently.
*sigh* But she achieved (kind of) what she wanted to do all her life, which is experiment with music and take it to the next level. But there's never been anyone like Shiina and there never again will be. Just says something about the sick sad stupid quality of the industry there. There's been about 3 artists in the charts with merit... in the last decade.
At least in the US it's more like a year or two....
Em yeah. You should not get me started on her o__o;
