Kenshi Yonezu (米津玄師), is a Japanese musician, who began releasing Vocaloid music under the stage name Hachi (ハチ) in 2009. In 2012 he debuted under his real name, releasing music with his own voice.

Early years
Sheena considers her hometown to be Fukuoka, and her official site listed it as such during her early years.

-In 1995, her musical creativity took another new direction when, as a member of an all-girl band called the Marvelous Marbles, she earned recognition at a Teens Music Festival. In the following year, as a solo artist, she won an Award of Excellence in the finals of the annual Music Quest competitions. -A string of live performances in various semi-pro groups followed, eventually leading to her debut as a professional. Response to the release of her first single in May 1998 -her hometown Fukuoka

9.05～27		インストアライブツアー 一九七八年十一月二十五日

-used to live in Shizuoka, did ballet.

-Growing up in Fukuoka -started taking piano lessons at age 4. -By high school, she had played in several bands and was writing and singing her own songs. -The diverse list of influences she names off the top of her head includes Ella Fitzgerald, Kurt Cobain, Edith Piaf and Japanese balladeer Eiko Shuri. -In 1998 she signed with Toshiba EMI records. -In interviews at the time, she said Honno (the word means instinct) was intended to show that women had as much right to erotic fantasies as men.

http://web.archive.org/web/20080113231856/http://www.time.com/time/asia/2003/cool_japan/rinngo2.html -"Pop in Japan means conformity, being the same as everyone else," says Atsushi Shikano, managing editor of Rockin' On Japan, one of the country's most popular music magazines. "But Sheena did exactly the opposite. Her way of singing, word choices, extreme sound, radical visual images, the bitchy way she sang—no one thought of doing that before. But she showed that people wanted something different." -'40s Big Band and swing, Indian sitar, avant-garde atonal music, trance-house psychedelia, church-organ fugues, electronic multiprocessed voice-overs and traditional Japanese koto, shamisen and flute music. -this album (which she also produced) marked the first time she had the budget and the artistic control to create exactly the kind of music she wanted.

Toshiba EMI debut
-went to England for three months, before her debut.

After MM, held Jisaku on 2.11. Then fell ill. -Jitsuen 2

--was constantly surprised with things when she debuted. Wanted to give up during 歌舞伎町の女王. -Exhausted after MM due to success. -next single was Gips discussed. But said she couldn't release constantly. so some time passed. -thought people who went to lives wouldn't be surprised by Gips, so chose Honno instead. -found promotion very tiring.

-first two years tired her. Didn't compromise in music on SS, but felt like she did with promotion.

Artistry
Music critic Tetsu Misaki in 2002 felt like Sheena's image was contradictory, as she acted like an underground musician at the same time as acting like a nationally popular musician. Misaki believed many aspects of her lyrics created the image of Sheena being different from normal people.

Sheena tends to use kanji not standardly found in lyrics, such as 譬え instead of たとえ in the song "Yami ni Furu Ame." (2000) Misaki believed that this strengthened her appeal, as it illustrated Sheena being different to normal people. Misaki also believed that her lyrics and titles attempted to link to poetry and literature. He saw this in her frequent usage of the words subete (全て), mattaku (全く) and zenbu (全部) were hyperbolic, similar to hyperbole found in poetry. Many of her titles follow a kanji+katakana pattern, such as "Marunouchi Sadistic" (丸の内サディスティック) (1999) and "Benkai Debussy" (弁解ドビュッシー) (2000). Misaki notes that there is no obvious link between the two nouns, and believed this linked them with surrealism. He contrasted this with similarly titled anime such as Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン) and Kidō Senshi Gundam (機動戦士ガンダム), where the kanji act as a description for the katakana phrase. He further linked the titles, along with noun-dense phrases in her lyrics "Honnō," "Tsumi to Batsu" and "Byōshō Public" with certain styles of haiku. He believed calling her debut song "Theory of Happiness" ("Kōfukuron") linked it to literature.

An important aspect of Sheena visually in her early career was her mole, located on her left cheek. Misaki noted that costumes were important during this period, but while her image changed, the mole was a constant feature. He noted Sheena's nurse costume in the music video for "Honnō" was visually important in her career, and linked her use of costumes with eroticism.

-records demo versions of all of her songs, (even those for other people), then goes for the real version. -Declared herself Shinjuku-kei, because she wanted the possibilities to be endless in lyrics or sound

-doesn't put in private things to her A-sides as a rule -wants people to treasure B-sides on singles, so her true self -recorded demos with Ukigumo.

In 20s, many words she stayed away from. "Onna no ko" (girl)

-Sheena goes through periods where she cannot write songs, such as Variety.

Legacy
In 2000, Billboard magazine cited the commercial success of Sheena, alongside label mate Hikaru Utada with saving record Toshiba EMI from a sales slump it experienced in the mid-1990s.

She was ranked number 36 in a list of Japan's top 100 musicians compiled by HMV in 2003.

The Duesenberg Starplayer guitar which Sheena has used recorded the historical sales of about 1000 sets in Japan in 2000.

the book by Taro Aso who is the 92nd Prime Minister of Japan Totetsumonai Nihon (as a singer representative of Jpop with Hikaru Utada).

Mika visited to Japan in 2007 and mentioned Ringo in several interviews as one of his favorite Japanese artists.. Jack Barnett of These New Puritans who was visiting Japan for the Summer Sonic 08 said in an interview that he was a great fan of Ringo Sheena and bought all her works while he was there, as they were not available in the United Kingdom.

Her third album, Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana, was ranked second in the most under-appreciated Japanese music of the last decade by CNN International Asia on December 22, 2009. Sheena got a mention in The Guardian as an artist who deserves to be seen and heard in the west in 2010.

Author Satoshi Miki listened to "KbCnJ" on repeat when writing the script for the drama 『時効警察』（じこうけいさつ）

http://ent2.excite.co.jp/music/special/angela/meiban.html アンジェラ・アキが選ぶ名盤10 -only Japanese influence she lists 1999年リリースの椎名林檎のデビュー・アルバム. その後、彼女は一気に女性アーティストのトップにまで登りつめた. 2003年に日本に戻ってきた時、アメリカにいた10年間の空白を埋める為に、邦楽を片っ端から聴きました. 中でも、椎名林檎さんの音楽に衝撃を受けました. 国境を越えたロックなアルバムですね.

Stage name
Shéna Ringö 1998-

Ringo Expo (Sheena Ringo)

She declared recently that she followed the naming of the pen name of her favorite manga artist, Sensha Yoshida. His first name is just a name of an object like Ringo ("Sensha" in this case meaning a "tank" in English). She thought that those who heard her name would be shocked by that.

Personal life
Sheena's older brother Junpei Shiina is an R&B musician, who debuted in 2000 under Sony. Since 2006, he has been managed by Kronekodow, Sheena's personal management agency. The pair have collaborated musically several times. In 2002, they covered three songs in English: Marvin Gaye's "The Onion Song" for Sheena's album Utaite Myōri, "Where Is the Love" (originally performed by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway) for Junpei Shiina's album Discover, and Toto's "Georgy Porgy." "Georgy Porgy" was recorded as a part of a special unit called Yokoshima, featuring Jumpei Shiina on keyboards and Ringo Sheena on chorus. In 2007, the pair sang a duet on her single "Kono Yo no Kagiri."

In November 2000, Sheena married guitarist Junji Yayoshi, who was a member of her backing band Gyakutai Glycogen. He announced her pregnancy in early 2001, and in July gave birth to a son. The pair then later divorced in January 2002.

In September 2013, gossip magazine Josei Jishin published an article about Sheena, linking her romantically with music director Yuichi Kodama and stating that she secretly giving birth to her second child. Sheena addressed these rumours publicly during her Tōtaikai concerts in November 2013, announcing that she gave birth in spring 2013 to a girl. As this was close to the release of her single "Irohanihoheto/Kodoku no Akatsuki," she did not feel it was appropriate to link the birth of her daughter with single promotions, so decided not to announce it at the time. The footage of her announcement was released her Tōtaikai DVD in March 2014.

-pregnancy had a high miscarrage chance, so announced it in January.

Kofukuron
-went to England for three months, before her debut.

KFR Not talking about happiness, but love on kofukuron Tries to link to literature with a title like kfr

-Kofukuron=first performed 1998. 9. 5 タワーレコード福岡店 -Etsuraku-hen 1999. 4. 1	 福岡DRUM LOGOS（in 福岡） -Suberidai=first performed 1998. 9.27 金沢AZホール（in石川） -Toki ga Bososuru

Kabukicho no Joo
KBCnJ -uses the terms Kanrakugai (歓楽街 pleasure quarter) and 大遊戯場 daiyu-gijo- (great amusement area) as if she's a tourist, as if she's looking in from the outside. Making a drama for listeners about a sleepless city.. Lyrics=prostitute mum child. No fatherly influence. Loved men to the point of throwing away her children Two stories, from chijo to Tokyo, plus her becoming the new queen Feels like Taiga drama overlap stories, characters

KBCnJ =extremely rare type of popular song. About a mother, not a love song about a man.

Critic Kazuhide Nabae believe the narrative in the song was driven by a "borrowing of author's rhetoric." By mentioning places such as Kujūkuri Beach and Kanrakugai, it forces the time and place of the events to change as well. Musician Haruo Chikada believed the interaction between the "checkered lives of three generations of women, and the relationship of these three" was important to the song, in his book Kangaeru Hit 2.

Feels like KnC is her most 新宿系 song. (at 17) -Kabuki+Unconditional=first performed 1998. 9. 5 タワーレコード福岡店

-Senko Exctasy Onaji Yoru-Favourite song on MM.

-finished MM in summer 1998

_________________ MM a compilation of songs about living as a human being, based on thoughts Sheena had in her teenage years.

TM= written at 18 KCnJ=written at 18 MnUS=Because she likes Tokyo. KfR= Akane = written at 16. Her everyday in Fukuoka. StH = just before she became 19. TmKA = Song she performed with bands in Fukuoka, rearranged. KdKS - OY = Always felt like this in the night KK = About being a woman Morphine = 19

Jacket =Taken in a studio in Tokyo. Wrote the calligraphy herself. Around her stand reporters, cameramen and bodyguards = Her concept.

____________________ MM -wanted to include lots of songs she had performed at her early lives =compilation of herself in her teenage years -likes short songs. Does not like anything superfluous.

-wrote all of the songs separately, without a theme in mind. When she thought of it as an album, she wanted to make the concept a moratorium.

-the people she meets are "worring about the things you lack, but still having lots of desires" 自分の欠落に悩みながらも、そのわりには色々な欲求があったりして -unpretentious, free and innocence = her image, but all she wants is to be like that. -she is the same, but as she meets more people, she realises everyone is like this. -"a moratorium-like moment about not being able to conform to society" everyone has. って、きっと誰にでもあると思うから、自分のためにも「それは無罪なんだ!」と言ってしまおうと. でもまさか『無罪モラトリアム』というのが、そのままタイトルになるとは思わなかったですけどね（笑）.

-KkdKS cover=a notion she has. -"What if there was a big scene in a corthouse or somewhere, where "innocent!" or "won!" was proclaimed, and I was standing by myself in the middle of that." -Designers went with that -was in a lot of bands. Likes the band sound, the most known sound to her. -Didn't want to be stuck with a single band's sound. -Guitarists have different characters -Declared herself Shinjuku-kei, so lyrics or sound could be anything. -Ringo at 16-18. Understanding herself. Diary-like things.

-decided Sugoroku tour. Decided quickly, or else there might be scheduling difficulties. -wanted to be in a band since before her debut -parted with her band members when she debuted in 1998. -in teens: being in a band was fun, what her career was going to be was secondary. -"until I can find good members I'll do it alone." -1st~3rd=presentation for band members. -Kalk: my ego bloomed to the most -solo: all her opinions are final. Band will be different =replace narinari

"how are these songs" first song on his demo tape. Sheena felt like he wrote the song for her. -wrote the song about blue (HZM) -Hirama gave Sheena Kao during her Sugoroku tour. Thought she couldn't sing it, but then the idea of a duet came about.

-image of sugoroku=wrote the songs for Kyoiku Sonan=first song she wrote -the intro was thought up by Ukigumo when he recorded the demo with Sheena as a joke. Hirama, however, played it as it was on the demo. Love song, but not like those she has written before. A song where you can feel both man and woman. lyrics came at the same time as music. Did not revise much. did not consider it for a single at first.

-Dynamite=owned at home. HEr father =why didn't you sing this on Utaite? -Kao=recorded in a single day.

Albums are based on TV channels. Educational, adult pay TV,

________________ 30 Discovery Added dates in Aomori and Iwaki were already planned, but they weren't sure if they could be performed due to the nuclear powerplants being offline.

Ultra C=tried to remove the boundaries between songs and create a two hour single story.

72 Handsome Sugite Originally titled サタデーナイト. Originally more soulful/disco. -recorded during Dai Hakken sessions -Sheena asked Kodama to write lyrics

75 Denki no Nai= about the 2011 earthquake Nijuisseiki=Kameda wrote thinking of his son.

102=Incidents Tokyo=Bon Voyage

114=Kodama first live concert Disc= Dai Hakken as basis Concert split into four sessions, 大自然、大都会、大発明、大宇宙 Jihen's theme=channels Sora ga Natteiru=discovery channel Hata watching -feels like an additional band member.

134=Uni Inoue also feels like 6th member.

159~164 -felt like theyd done everything they could 2010/11/6 EMI ROCKS festival decided. このままいくと『縛っちゃうな』っていう事だったんです. クリエイティヴに対する反応の度数みたいなものに『満たされた』気持ちを感じていたという、そんな記憶がまずあって Saw Miyavi at the same event, and was impressed by how he'd managed to "be so cool" all by himself. Each member also had their own projects, were getting busier. Perhaps from Tengoku e Yokoso started deep down.

original SR plan was to release three solo albums. her songs were made in her teens since 2001 feltthat she had to make music again. ---何処かのニーズにお応えして音楽を作る, responding to needs/offers.

Kyoiku=still felt "taboo" other people writing music for her. writing music for the needs of projects=challenge for 2010.

Wanted to put out Carnation as a Jihen work, but drama people were wanting her to be under her own name. -Jihen name prevented the band from many commercial tie-ups due to its associations with disasters. -Could not separate from name/band members.

166~169 Ukigumo Changed name to UKIGMO name was coined by Sheena, because he was blue like a young boy, gentle like a cloud. Guitar: unique riff/phrase surrealistic painter-like songs

170~173 Izawa First talked backstage at Fuji Rock Fes, friend of HZM.

Color Bars=songs already 提出 before the album concept.

2012.03.21 このエントリーをはてなブックマークに追加 スペースシャワーTV「MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS」、大賞をサカナクション＆ベスト・アーティストを東京事変が受賞 http://ro69.jp/news/detail/65544

www.hotexpress.co.jp/review/3126/ 東京事変 ニューアルバムで一際ヒカリを放つ楽曲

前作『スポーツ』はファンならずとも高評価を集め、本作を携えたツアーも絶賛の声が各方面から聞こえていた. そして『天国へようこそ』といった配信曲に加えて、シングル『空が鳴っている/女の子は誰でも』のリリース. リスナーの新アルバムに対する期待度は頂点に達していたのに、発表されたタイトルは“大発見”. 「そこまでハードルを上げていいのか!?」と勝手な心配を抱いていたのだが、再生ボタンを押した途端、流れ込んできたM-1を耳にして度肝を抜かれた. 深く深く染み渡ってくる魅惑的な言葉とダークサウンド. 新たな事変ワールド（未知の世界）に、ゆっくりゆっくり誘い込まれていくような感覚. 心地良くて抜け出せなくなりそう…………….

なんて思っていたら「東京メトロ」CM曲などアップテンポナンバーがチャキチャキと奏でられていく. そんな中で一際ヒカリを放つ楽曲がM-4だ. 今の日本の状況下を意識して制作したのでは？ と思わせるほど、生命力に満ちた言葉が綴られている同曲. リスナーの隣に寄り添ってくれるような、事変側のエゴなんて一切感じさせない、真っさらで純粋なナンバーだ. 本作の中で一番“聴き手のことだけ”を想って描いた曲だからこそ、魂が震えるほどの感動を覚えるのだろう. （REVIEW：武川春奈）

Thought more about friends. -Rinne = A mix between a song she'd made herself and the lyrics of a cover song --Like on Marunouchi, it's her style to put in English-style Japanese so that it doesn't break up the melody. Wanted to prioritise the melody, so sung the English lyrics.

__________________________

Summer 1999 started recording Shoso Strip. Had already chosen a title when MM was released. SS=At first, made up entirely of old songs including track order, but every so often came up with a new song she wanted to include. Recording also finished in summer. -When Asai agreed to perform on Tsumi to Batsu, made it the centre song. July 13, 1999 -from teh start decided on the opening and ending songs, plus 55:55. Made it longer as MM was so short. -Was able to centre SS more around herself, her own selfish opinions -When SS, felt like MM was a "single collection" as every song could be listened to separately. Could not have a concept like in SS, as it was her debut album.

Kimi=a dead girl who fell asleep on the train tracks 傲慢 Yokushitsu=Her favorite on SS. Summer 1999. 〈キチンと召し上がれ〉っていう詞は、男の人が聴くと「ヤッちゃっていいよ」ってことだと思うみたいなんだけど（笑）、言葉の通り「本当に食べて欲しい」ということなんです. 「生死とかを超越した融合を実現したい」って欲望と提案の曲. だから、「性行為とかよりも、もっと素晴らしいものを探そう」という話なんです. 私はよく「情念系」って言われたりするけど、この曲を見てると「そうなんだろうな」って思っちゃいますよね. だって、全然理性的じゃないもん.

TtB a song that couldn't have been released if not for MM. ST = like 積木遊び. Features Tsumi to Batsu lyrics in reverse.
