Jon L DavisBlast you, @JohnShirley2023 getting me off on a #ShiinaRingo kick. Here's a great #TokyoJihen live video - what a spectacle! #SheenaRingo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-kyVCBJs3c

John Shirley@jonldavis I went with wikipedia's version of her stage name but apparently it's said in various ways...?
@JohnShirley2023 I think the "official" romanization of her name is Sheena Ringo, but the "correct" way is Shiina for 椎名. "Sheena" is maybe more obvious for English speakers https://www.discogs.com/artist/2258062-Shiina-Ringo
@jonldavis Wikipedia puts the ringo first but I see this as a note there: Her name can be romanized many ways, including Shina, Sheena, and Shéna Ringö. This extends to album listings. She is listed as Sheena Ringo on her album Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana but as Shéna Ringö on other releases. All are considered acceptable.
@JohnShirley2023 No matter how you spell it, she's extraordinary! One of my enduring favorite Japanese artists, and a world-class singer.
