** It's worth pointing out that not only are the number of characters in each song symmetrical, but frequently the scripts used are symmetrical as well. For example, the first and eleventh tracks on ''Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana'' have two Kanji characters in their titles, while the second and tenth have eight katakana characters, and so on. Even when the characters themselves aren't symmetrical, she'll sometimes make the track listings symmetrical in other ways; for example, the even-numbered track titles on each disc of ''Utaite Myōri ~Sono Ichi~'' are written in English, while the odd-numbered ones are in Japanese (which does not always match with the language(s) sung in the songs). And often there is thematic symmetry as well; for example, the first six songs of ''Shōso Strip'' describe a crime and the last six describe a punishment, with the first song translating as "I Am a Liar" and the last translating as "I Am an Addict". Or consider "Fair" and "Foul" on ''Sports''. (Note that, in a few cases, it's necessary to use the "Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms" set of Unicode characters to make the symmetry work - "ｓａ＿ｉ＿ｔａ" rather than "sa_i_ta" on ''color bars'', for example, as well as "ＪＬ００５便で" and "ＮＩＰＰＯＮ" [or, if you hate all-caps track lists, "Ｎｉｐｐｏｎ"] rather than "[=JL005=]便で" and "NIPPON" on ''Sunny''. The track listings on Ringo's official website for these songs - and also "ＦＯＵＬ", "ＦＡＩＲ", and "ドーパミント！ BPM103" - use the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms characters, for what that's worth. Also, for the record, the intended translation for "saita" appears to be "Bloomed", which would be written in Japanese as "咲いた". It could also mean "The Most" if written as "最多", and that's not even the only other possible Japanese word that would be romanised as "saita".)

* {{Jazz}}: Much of her material falls into this genre, particularly on ''Heisei Fūzoku'' (which is mostly orchestral jazz) and ''Sanmon Gossip'' (a GenreRoulette of numerous different jazz styles which Wikipedia categorises as "[[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs acid jazz]]", which is probably as close to as accurate a two-word description as possible).
* LastNoteNightmare: "Sōretsu" is a particularly notable case of this, though considering that its title translates as "Funeral" and it's the final track of an album that is [[FourIsDeath 44 minutes and 44 seconds long]], anything else would have been a massive surprise. The song builds to a particularly cacophonic climax before suddenly [[NoEnding cutting off]]. She's done it a few other times as well. "Bonsai Hada" ends with Shiina essentially screaming her lungs out over an increasingly cacophonic accordion performance, then she stops singing and the accordion gets even more cacophonic before it, too, stops. This is followed almost immediately by "Yokyō", arguably the only rock song on ''Sanmon Gossip''.

If the song's official translation of "A Life Supreme" didn't give it away, the single and album covers will: the single uses the exact same typeface as the Coltrane album, and even prints the text at the exact same angle.
