Cuz, on most of her releases her name is written either 椎名林檎 or Shéna Ringö.

I don't think that RURUTIA's vocals are at all standard, I don't think I've heard another Japanese artist with her whispering, raspy vocals. Her lyrics are ingenuous, even if her music is "standard structure".
KOKIA is folk, but you can't deny that her album trip, trip is VERY experimental.
Hitomi Shimatani still has that Spanish feel about her music that I've not really encountered much.
Shéna's music isn't JUST rock, take her new album Superficial Gossip, a lot of the tracks on there are barely rock and lean more towards jazz or swing, also her earlier music also has an experimental edge to it.
