Ringo Shiina, queen of bombast

 

 

Another lush performance by the Japanese queen of musical bombast, Ringo Shiina, whom I introduced to you, my dear readers, a couple of times before.

Shiina fascinates me. I find her music tasteless but irresistible, I love the confidence of it, I love her sexual confidence, her shamelessness, her theatrics.

I think I know why she wears those angel’s wings. As a child, she had to undergo some pretty heavy duty surgery, which left big scars on her shoulders, making it look as if she had her wings removed. (PB)
