This introduction is from her offical site at TOSHIBA-EMI.
Timely but timeless is one way to describe the unique appeal SHENA has
for her growing number of fans. Her charming lyrics and vocal style e
xpress immediacy in both mood and message, while her sound is based on
eternally valid musicality, for which there is no "cute" substitute.
SHENA's musical artistry is well founded in her early training as a pi
anist and classical ballerina. By age 15, she was playing in several b
ands and, on her own, was exploring writing and singing in the pop mod
es of Japan and the West.In 1995, her musical creativity took another
new direction when, as a member of an all-girl band called the Marvelo
us Marbles, she earned recognition at a Teens Music Festival. In the f
ollowing 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, eve
ntually leading to her debut as a professional. Response to our releas
e of her first single in May 1998, and her two maxi-singles in Septemb
er 1998 and January 1999, was very favorable, and her first album, "Mu
zai Moratorium" released in February, confirmed her position as one of
the best composers and rock artists in Japan.
October 1999 saw the maxi-singles "Honno"（Instinct，也就是本能啦）, h
er fourth, and "Kofukuron"（幸福论） a debut single re-release as a ma
xi with an additional tune. Her first video, "Seiteki Healing-Sono Ich
i-" (Sexual Healing Vol.1), has been released on November 27, 1999.
In January 2000, her two maxi-singles "GIPS"（石膏） and "Tsumi to Bat
su"（罪与罚） has been released simultaneously. Her second album, "SHO
SO STRIP", will be released on March 31,2000 and start her first live
tour in Japan from April.
她的album出了都有两歌多月了，不知大家听了没有？
这张新的album感觉上多了上一张《无罪冻结案》所没有的“工业噪音”和“颗粒
感”，听上去粗犷多了。总的来说，我觉得在作曲上没什么突破，“本能”和“
石膏”这两首来自maxi single里的歌都在迎合大众的口味，只是“罪与罚”、“
浴室”、“アィデンティティ”（Identity）和“ストイシズム”（Stoicism）
这几首有点惊喜吧。其中在“浴室”中融入了部分电子的迷幻音色，和这首歌的
歌词所表达的感觉颇迎合的，很有一种“被冲洗”的感觉；在“Stoicism”里更
是DJ化了，采用了一定数量的声音采样，使整首歌变得新鲜、有趣，甚至有点象
听儿歌的感觉，呵呵，苹果的那声“はきんく”（这是什么意思？）实在是很特
别。
到现在我还是喜欢她的那首阴森恐怖、有着metal味道的"remote controlle
r"，还有那首很pop的“幸福论”的punk+metal改造版“悦乐篇”。
话又说回来，最近才知道她和友坂理惠是好朋友，现在还帮tomosaka炮制新
的single，在这张single里面，她将为tomosaka作曲、弹钢琴、吹口琴。原来to
mosaka那首"Capuccino"是她作的曲呀，怪不得，现在回忆起来那首歌真的很有苹
果小姐的味道呢，呵呵~，不过那种味道只在《无罪偿还》里出现过。本来我是不
喜欢tomosaka的，没办法，现在看来要经常注意一下她了-_-
