Richardson returned to Skunk Anansie. Alongside his work with Feeder, Taka also works as an electronic music solo musician, often playing all the instruments alongside bass on a series of recordings under the alias name of "Funkybottom". He also has remixed Feeder tracks such as "Tracing Lines", as well as "Free Your Mind", a short 28 second interlude intended for Silent Cry which did not make the final cut. On the Funkybottom version, the remix extends the track with extra effects added in. He played on Inoran's 2011 single "Hide and Seek". In June 2012, he once again teamed up with Inoran, and Feeder's support guitarist Dean Tidey, to form the band Muddy Apes. As a member of Feeder, Hirose was inducted into the Kerrang! Radio Hall of Fame on the 9 August 2019, for "Distinguished Services to Rock". Taka also has a website containing many Japanese food recipes.
