I just realized that Shiina Ringo inspired not one, but at least TWO different Guilty Gear characters!

If you& #39;re not familiar, Shiina Ringo is one hell of a musician. She& #39;s not just a killer singer, she can also shred the guitar and writes her own material and it& #39;s GREAT. So good that many fools questioned if a beautiful woman could really do ALL that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krCk3EcsaxE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
She& #39;s also great live! (Many artists are in fact, not very good live!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7lYXyGViNQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Shiina Ringo also inspired Haruko from FLCL... which means she may have indirectly inspired ABA from Guilty Gear, bringing her grand total up to 3 characters!
It& #39;s not difficult to see how Shiina Ringo has inspired so many different characters as she& #39;s basically a living manga character herself

Here is Shiina Ringo doing the cutest duet on earth with her older brother Junpei Shiina who is also a hell of a singer! If all you know of Japanese music is J-pop then you& #39;ve probably never heard a Japanese dude with a rich deep bluesey voice like this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS8LArZr3Yw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Back to the FLCL connection, it& #39;s much more than that one nurse outfit. Haruko& #39;s whole vibe (even her voice!) is very much inspired by Shiina Ringo, who was the super eccentric queen of Japanese rock by 2003 when FLCL came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkm4LUcq25g">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Apparently in the first DVD release of FLCL the liner notes say that Shiina Ringo was the inspiration for Haruko. I can& #39;t confirm this myself, but that& #39;s what this website says in Japanese.
By the time FLCL came out in 2003, Shiina Ringo had already completed 3 best selling albums (totaling over 4 million in domestic sales)
