 I think Shimatani is overrated. Her voice is nice, but she doesn't contribute much to her music, only lyrics to 2 or 3 songs. 
But then again, she is a pop star, but I always have much high expectations from Japanese popstars, they usually write a lot more lyrics, and even some music.  
Don't get me wrong, I love her stuff (I have two albums), but I'd like her to make more contributions to her music. I guess some don't care what artists contribute, but I do, and it really bothers me when they don't do much other than sing and dance...
