Sheena = musical genius. It is rare to find a musician who has created as much high quality music as Sheena... To me the trait that has always stood out to me in her is the egalitarian nature of her musical composing... every instrument has its place and time... helps when the musicians are soooo good. I think Sheena may well be the true queen of Japanese modern music.
Good evening, Ryan-san. Thank you for picking up Shiina Ringo. Shiina is a special artist in Japan who is respected not only in the entertainment world, but also by ordinary people living ordinary lives. If Shiina had wanted to work overseas from a young age, I think it would have been easy and possible. However, for some reason, she didn't seem to have any such ambitions. Fortunately, an artist named Ado is currently covering Shiina's performance. That makes me very happy as well. (Ado respects Shiina with supreme love). Google translation. sorry.
It's the Rock in Japan Festival (2015), the biggest outdoor rock fest in Japan, I think. The keyboardist is Masayuki Hiizumi (H ZETT M), a member of the early Tokyo Incidents and also known for producing and providing music for Atarashii Gakko.
The keyboardist is aka H ZETT M, Masayuki Hi-izumi (樋泉昌之, another names : H是都M, ヒイズミマサユ機 etc..), a former producer of Atarashi-i Gakko (At 2:34, Ringo called out his name). The long-haired guitarist is Yukio Nagoshi (名越由貴夫), who played on AG's early albums (At 0:28, Ringo called out his name).
I just watched her "Bon Voyage" bluray - the last concert of her band Tokyo Incidents in 2012 at the Budokan (before that concert, they had played the Yokohama arena and the Tokyo J-hall - twice each! - it says a lot about the band's popularity). At one moment, the pianist come frontstage to sing, and Shiina sit at his place at the piano and playthe song. Then it's the drummer's turn to sing ... and Shiina is behind the kit! Than she come back frontstage and take her guitar. She's an amazing musician and composer, and no need to say she has charisma by buckets as a singer.
I am shamefully not familiar enough with her, but if you come across the live performances where she's got on a nurse uniform or a knight's helmet, they are INTENSE. Here's one: th-cam.com/video/H_nCw1WMFs4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dAVxIMqle1H9cNST The other: th-cam.com/video/FoW6bFCquqg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7el42JUo_Y8KaXWJ
The keys player and the guitarist playing the Epiphone jazzbox over her right shoulder are Ichiyo Izawa and Ukigumo from her band Tokyo Jihen; this performance was in the middle of their '12-'20 hiatus period, members still collaborated during this time but as a unit they were inactive for near enough eight years. Sheena is so captivating and deliberate in her movements onstage that your eyes are always drawn to her, despite not always being the most outwardly active. Though you do need to see some of her early solo years when the wilder rockstar part of her personality was on display, she had moments that'd make Janis Joplin & Courtney Love seem tame. EDIT: It's actually the Phase 1 Tokyo Jihen line-up keys player Masayuki Hiizumi (H ZETT M) playing here, who recommended Ichiyo Izawa as his replacement when he decided to leave the band in '05.
Yes! she can be the most hardcore rocker when she wants - as an exemple, her short summer tour in 2000 with three - 3! - bassists, including herself, and one guitarist - the amazing Tabuchi Hisako, from Number Girl and now in Pedro - in little rock caves under the "Hatsuiku Status" name has to be seen!
To be honest, it's always been a little confusing, as in Eastern territories she is known as Ringo Shiina, but in the West as Sheena Ringo. Even her record label's website uses one version of her name in the search and the other on the site. Then you have two different titles for some of her songs. Being a fan of Japanese artists can be a headache sometimes!

Sheena Ringo has so much style and is so classy...it's unbelievable. Amazing song with a blasting band.
She's just on another level. There's artists, and then there's ARTISTS... and Sheena Ringo is obviously on the second group
Yes, she is all that. : )

Yukio Nagoshi also plays a lot for Aina The End, he's almost always part of her live band.
@@realdocloco Thank you for the information.

Oh yes, The Queen. At her feet.
Oh I loved this 😁

Her songs and music is what got Miku Kobato hooked on rock music who went on to create Band-Maid.
Sheena Ringo is the queen
I quite like her tbf
This version is a bit layback and the best version in my opinion, get more emotion in her singing. Sheena Ringo is life!! 🍎💞
She's got legs that do the job quite nicely. Many videos prove it.
キャーーーーーーー👍👍👍👍👍 RINGO🍎🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hey Ryan, you didn't even wince at the key change!

Ringo-san what a voice‼️She is super sexy.

Soooo hot🔥Ringo🔥
@RyanMear FYI, Shiina not Sheena
She has officially used the name Sheena since her debut, Shiina coming from her family name Shina.
I had it right in the thumbnail, but not the title! Thanks

@@Moodiac67 me as a long time fan from Hong Kong, I use her Japanese kanji name more ,seldom use her English name.
@@MrMoosejaw00 That makes sense, and either way you have very good musical taste!
