Origins
The career of Shina Ringo created for the artist an image of a strange woman that people had taken seriously to the point that she could tell them "Shut up, I'm not like that!". In addition to the difficult to control image and the complexity of her career, Shina soon gathered her band together after recording her last album. She had wished to be in a band since her debut and has finally achieved it.
