hitomi is very unique in the Jpop crowd. She is a married mother with twins, she is her own label, she is a fashion icon and she has been around for a staggering 13 years. She isn't as successful as the other big Jpop names, but she is twice the idol and twice the performer. Her music is thrilling to listen to, her voice is unmistakable and her style sets her apart. She is a songwriter with a unique world view and nothing but love in her heart!
It has only been two years since I discovered hitomi, but since i first heard SAMURAI DRIVE i've come to possess all her albums, some singles and even some awesome radio promos! It's difficult being a fan of hers thousands of miles from the only territory she releases in, but she makes it worth it.
WISH, off of her critically acclaimed "Thermo plastic" album. It's a stunning example of her lyrical skills and the production talent of her long time producer Zentaru Watanabe. Sweeping, cold and 100% hitomi.
