YMMV / Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana

• Tough Act to Follow: A classical example. It improves on the already brilliant Shōso Strip. Everything made by Shiina later cannot compete with these two albums especially, with this one. Although Heisei Fuzoku comes close, and Sanmon Gossip is no slouch either. Still, this album is possibly one of the most acclaimed Japanese releases of the entire decade, and it's likely to remain her best regarded album.
