>>152197 Yeah, her voice isn't perfect (and in some live performances, I'll admit, it's awful...and I'm a pretty big fan...), but I like it anyway. It's more about her style and creativity than her skill as a musician for me (although she is a VERY skilled musician...you just don't see her play piano much anymore...).
Also, what did you listen to from the torrent? Cause her earlier stuff is MUCH different from her later stuff. I'm not sure how you got "standard mid late 1980s riffs", unless you only listened to her first album and didn't pay a lot of attention...so give "Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana" a chance if you're looking for something less rock-ish (and with slightly better vocals, although her voice is going to annoy you just as much on later recordings if you didn't like it on earlier ones). Or just give it up now...she's definitely not for everybody (but PLEASE, if you have the slightest interest in her, give her another chance...it's worth it).
One more thing...if you listened to Tokyo Jihen and heard "standard mid late 1980s riffs", you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Be this the case, just give up on listening to music forever.
