Biography:
???? (Shiina Ringo, also sometimes spelled "Sheena Rinngo" or "Shéna Ringö"), born November 25, 1978 in Saitama, is a Japanese singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist. Her family name is Shiina and she chose to perform as Ringo instead of her birth name Yumiko because - as a shy child - her cheeks would blush red like an apple (the fruit being 'ringo' in Japanese).
She was born with an illness in which the esophagus narrows as it approaches the stomach, requiring much surgery.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is definitely one of my favorite songs in terms of how the chords were
used to achieve a very powerful dramatic effect.
E e
Db x43121 (x4312x also works if you don't want to bar the fret)
Gdim 34532x (I use my thumb for the E string; if you think that's
"improper" guitar technique just go with 345xxx)
Adim 56754x (Same as above)
Bdim 78976x (Same as above; they are all the same shapes)
Verse: Listen to the recording for the rhythm change
Fm Db Bbm Gb C x2
Fm Db Bbm Gb
Chorus: Keep going up the fret with bar chords
Fm Gdim Ab Adim Bbm Bdim C Db C x4
If you have trouble with the diminished chords, forget the chords and simply
strum the E string really hard and go 1-4-5-6-7-8-9-8, preferably with the
octaves. With vocal on top the chords will come out.
Dramatic pause before the final instrumental part:
Db C
