Mitski

日本でのインタビュー (2018) では

映画の他にも、母親が持っていた日本のCDも聴いていたというMitskiさんは、中島みゆきさんや松任谷由実さん、椎名林檎さんも好きだと話してくれました。

なんだかさらっとふれられていて、確かに椎名林檎っぽさもあるよね、と思っていたら、Current のインタビュー (2016) でも

Is there an album that when you were in school, or maybe even today, that you have in your mind like, "Someday I'm going to make that album"?

There is a Japanese artist, Shiina Ringo, her — I'm going to say this in Japanese, it's a long title — Kauk Samen Kuri no Hana, and maybe someone out there will be inspired to write that down and look it up, but it's my favorite album in that there's so much attention to detail, so many instruments. It was a great feat for her as a solo artist to make, so I think I was turned to that album.

Rookie のインタビュー (2017) でも

Are there any lyricists, poets, or writers in particular who inspire you?

There’s a Japanese [musician], but the lyrics are Japanese so it might not make much of a difference to Rookie readers. Her name is Shiina Ringo. What I get from her lyrics is that sometimes being specific and descriptive is really important.

椎名林檎の話をしていて、びっくりした。
