In this issue, we will introduce some of the artists/musicians who have influenced Ringo Shiina.
Profile of Ringo Shiina
Ringo Shiina, a native of Fukuoka, made her debut in 1998 with “Happiness Theory.
Later, she released the famous album “Innocent Moratorium,” which became a big hit and a long seller, establishing herself as a female singer.
As a manager, I am from the same generation as her, and I remember being hooked by her unique and cool lyrics and Western-style sound.
And after all, Eros! Have there ever been so sexy and artistic Japanese singers? No, there isn’t! In that sense, she is the one and only.
Sheena Ringo also had a five-piece rock band called Tokyo Incidents, which disbanded in 2012. There were many people younger than me who said they liked Tokyo Incidents, so there is no doubt that the band had an impact on many rock fans.
Speaking of Ringo Sheena, one of my favorite videos is the “KIMOCHI” video with Hidenori Mukai, which I put up on Sakiyama’s video, so please take a look at that as well!
Here is another video of him with Hidenori Mukai! Too cool!
Artists/musicians influenced by Ringo Shiina
BLANKEY JET CITY
Ringo: Well, I first encountered Blankie and Radiohead when I was an adolescent, and I quit high school in the middle of my sophomore year.
Ringo: Well, I first encountered Blankie and Radiohead when I was an adolescent, and I quit high school in the middle of my sophomore year, but I remember Bjork’s (Note 1) first album “Debut” from my high school days. At the time, listening to Bjork, I felt as if I had been liberated.Tracking! Ringo’s Music History “The Making of Sheena Ringo” from High School

Benji,” which appears in the lyrics of ‘Marunouchi Sadistic,’ is the nickname of Kenichi Asai, the guitar vocalist of Blankey. Sheena Ringo loves Blankey so much that he appears in the lyrics. Incidentally, the “Gretsch” in the same song, “Hit me with a Gretsch,” is also Mr. Asai’s favorite guitar!
So, here is a recording of the talk between Ms. Ringo and Mr. Asai!
I personally get the impression that people who like masculine music and movies like blankey. Blankey is a man’s favorite! Here is a live video of the famous song “Red Tambourine” in it!
Radiohead
The quotes are as mentioned above.
Radiohead, as mentioned in the articles by Daiki Tsuneda and Aoshi Sakiyama, has really influenced many artists.
I was searching for Sheena Ringo and Radiohead and found a creep cover by Sheena Ringo! It’s so precious and not many people know about it judging by the number of views…. This is the kind of encounter that happens when you write this blog. Thanks to the person who uploaded it.
Björk
It is strange that Björk has not been mentioned before, but Björk is a world-class female singer from Iceland!
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ringo: Well, I was really influenced by the Sex Pistols when I saw their videos and so on.
Ringo: Well, I was very much influenced by the Sex Pistols through their videos and so on, but if I had to say that I listened to a lot of music as a sound, I would say that I was listening to a lot of Leccoli (Red Hot Chili Peppers (Note 4), perhaps? I also loved listening to Rage Against the Machine’s (Note 5) yellow jacket “Evil Empire” and Pearl Jam’s (Note 6) “No Code”.Tracking!

It’s also the first time I’ve ever seen RHCP. I mean, there isn’t a music fan who doesn’t like Letschli. Personally, I have a bad memory because the girl I liked dumped me and her boyfriend could play guitar and he was playing Californication by Lecchli lol.
But when I heard it for the first time, I was amazed! I was so surprised.
I’ll leave you with “Under The Bridge,” one of my favorites from the album. I love the mellow songs of Leccoli, don’t you?
Rage Against the Machine
Since Ms. Ringo is of the same generation as the manager, I can relate to the artists who appear on the list. But I was surprised to learn that Ringo likes this kind of mixture.
Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam, the grunge and alternative heroes. Everyone loved Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Our generation…
