After quitting school to enter a musical contest, Shiina was quickly signed to EMI, then promptly left Japan to avoid the trappings of contract work. After returning, she quickly released a series of singles and albums, all self-penned (a relative rarity for Japanese pop artists), and all meeting with great success on the Japanese charts. A hiatus to start a family followed, itself followed (after a divorce) by both a new album and a new side project, the band 東京事変. (Tokyo Jihen - or Tokyo Incidents)
After more success with the band, Shiina returned to a solo career in 2006 as the Music Director for the film 「さくらん」(Sakuran), quickly taking the number one slot on the Oricon charts with the album Heisei Fuuzoku released in tandem with a major soundtrack project. Following was a B-sides album which peaked quickly at the number one Oricon slot. In the years proceeding this, she spent most of her time dedicated to Tokyo Jihen occasionally revisiting her solo work.
Despite being involved in the main Japanese pop scene, Shiina has created a niche for herself based on a much wider musical range than most artists. Where most pop singers develop a basic sound based on contemporary pop aesthetics and throwaway lyrical matter, Shiina builds on a base of jazz, rock, Motown, and even French chanson equally well (the chanson works especially well with her trademark nasal delivery), infusing her projects with a very different aesthetic, and gaining a fan base separate from the core constituents of the Japanese pop apparatus.
Despite the release of album 三毒史 (trivisa-itihasa) in 2019, released after a myriad of singles being majorly included in aforementioned work. In 2020, Ringo and band Tokyo Jihen turned their backs to their past, doing a major reunion, with the drop of a few projects, such as sixth studio album 音楽.

Are you feelin' a change
in the air?
La la la la, la la la la
Sang a spell on you
La la la la, la la la la
Clouds are gatherin'
fast I here
I'm waiting here for you
Gave you my key, man I
sure gave it to you
yesterday
I know you're a-comin'
round here everyday
Come by, it's gonna rain
No, my doorbell don't work
You know you got to use
that key
'Cause you just don't
lose something you find
Get yourself inside
I'll make it better
I will make
the rain come down
Clouds are in the sky
Awaiting a command
From an aching heart
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?
Can't turn back, you

Rain's a-comin' down
Rain's a-comin' down

I never cry no tears
But I still got the sky
Crying tears for me

The lyrics to "MY FOOLISH HEART 〜crazy on shibuya〜" by 椎名林檎 (Shiina Ringo) describe a sense of anticipation and longing for someone to come back. The singer is waiting for someone who has been given their key, indicating a close relationship, but there is a sense of urgency as the singer mentions that it's going to rain and the person needs to use their key to enter. The rain is used symbolically as a representation of emotions and the singer's desire to make things better for the person they're waiting for. The second verse suggests that when it rains, the person should remember the singer and think of them, even though the singer never cries tears. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of yearning for the person to come back and the singer's determination to make things right.

ここであなたを待ってる
昨日わたしは確かにあなたへ鍵を渡したはず
いつもこの辺りを通り掛かっているんでしょう
雨の匂いで勘付いたの
ベルが壊れていようが 鍵さえあればドアは開くもの
得るものがあっても 失うものなどないあなただから
あなたが足留めを食らって
ここへ来ざるを得ないよう唄う
雨雲はいま痛手を負ったこの胸からの指令を黙って待ってる
どうする？どうする？
引返せない、振返れない
雨よ降れ、雨よ降れ

雨に降られるたび
あなたはわたしを思い出すのでしょう？
涙を見せたことなど
一度も無かったわね
代わりに空が泣いてる
どうする？どうする？
雨よ降れ、雨よ降れ
あなたが足留めを食らって
ここへ来ざるを得ないよう唄う
どこに居るの？
雨が降る！
引返せない、振返れない
