Lol as you might see I am only posting in J-Music (laughing) Well I post to much anyways here is what I have much info on her if you like you may add more Hitomi Takahashi was born on April 8, 1989. Because of her abnormally large eyes, her parents named her "Hitomi", which means "pupil/eye" in Japanese. By the influence of her father, she grew up listening to his favorite music, which was classic rock like Eric Clapton and the Beatles. In 2002, she entered junior-high school. Once entering middle school, Hitomi joined the school softball team and expressed an interest in becoming an artist's backup dancer. So, every morning she would practice dancing before she went to Kendo (Japanese sword fighting) practice. (She obtained the first level degree in Kendo). Every night after school Hitomi and her friends would gather together and street dance. In the year of 2003, while she was at dance practice, Hitomi was encouraged to try to sing at a local popularity event. Hitomi disliked singing karaoke in front of such a large crowd, but her friends greatly encouraged her to sing, and from that time on the desire to become a singer awoke in her. During her second year in junior-high school, in the middle of the summer of 2003, Hitomi applied for the Sony Music Auditions. For the auditions, she recorded the rock song "Ukifune" by the band GO!GO!7188, but because the deadline was drawing near, she sent in the tape without listening to it. Also, because a change of interest, Hitomi moved from singing dance music to singing rock music. In 2004, Hitomi was selected as finalist for the Sony Music SD audition (Vo-che3), from around 20,000 others. She was worried that because of her height (147 cm), she would be overlooked, but her powerful voice attracted the attention of people as she sang live. At the end of 2004, She was chosen to sing the theme song for "Gundam SEED DESTINY" and recording began at the end of the year. In 2005, she was in the middle of high school entrance exams as the title for her 1st single "Bokutachi no Yukue" was announced. When the 30 second preview of the song started airing on the Gundam SEED DESTINY website, traffic increased so much that access to the site became unavailable for a short time. Hitomi soon entered senior high school, and started her first radio personality on Date fm (FM Sendai) called "Takahashi Hitomi ~Sound D・N・A~". On April 13, 2005 Hitomi released her debut single "Bokutachi no Yukue." For its first week on the charts, the single was #1; she was the 2nd female to have had a debut single reach #1 and the third solo artist to have a debut single reach #1. The single ended up selling well over 100,000 copies. On August 12, 2005 Hitomi released her 2nd single "evergreen." It placed #22 for its first week on the charts, and has sold a little less than 30,000 copies. Later on in the year, rumors started to spread that Hitomi would be releasing her 3rd single on October 12, 2005, and that it would be the theme song for the anime BLOOD+. Her official site never confirmed this rumor, but did confirm that she would be singing the theme song for the new anime BLOOD+. Not too long after the rumors, Hitomi's site updated with news revealing that her 3rd single would be titled "Aozora no NAMIDA", and this would be the single that would have the BLOOD+ theme song on it. For its first week on the charts, "Aozora no NAMIDA" placed #8 with 44,629 copies sold. This was a huge leap from her past single "evergreen". Less than two weeks after Hitomi's 3rd single "Aozora no NAMIDA" was released, the well-known online store, CDJapan, announced that Hitomi would be releasing her first album on February 1, 2006. Her site soon updated, and the album was officially titled "sympathy", but was pushed back to the later date of March 1, 2006. The album is to come in two formats, CD only and CD+DVD (limited), and is to contain 12 tracks total, 7 of them being previously unreleased songs. As you see I have no picture of her since I am to lazy Her songs/tracks: Sorry If I spell it wrong as I am typing to much 1.Aozora no Namida 2.Bokutachi no Yukue 3.Melody 4.Communication 5.Evergreen 6.SKULL 7.Ko.mo.re.bi 8.Beatin' 9.Candy Line 10.Mouhitotsu no Yoake 11.My Answer 12.DRIVE 13.Yakusoku 14.16 15.Kodoku na Gunshuu 16.Kotonoha 17.Kaze no Kirin 18.Boukensha |

:blink: she's doing that face she did in the end of the CANDY LINE PV in the 2nd album cover pic too? that's a weird cover... but i'm still eager to hear this! :clap only 10 days left! :D edit: meh, both PRIDE and Kanjiru Mama on the album? b-sides should stick to the singles, at least if there's only one b-side on that single. i'd much rather see Subarashiki Kono Sekai there (although it's not really her song...). i love that song. :D so, 6 new songs and one new version of KO·MO·RE·BI... i'm cool with that. ^_^ |

i've had quite a few listens to it, and i have to say that it's great! i really like Break Through and Yoru no Melody. well, i actually like every single track on this album, but those standed out among the new songs. ^_^ the only song i don't think it that great is Kanjiru Mama, i love the rest - which means that i think she beats her first album, even though that album is awesome. ;) |

haha...dig in! i really like Hitomi Takahashi songs...although they're not performing well on Oricon but the heck I care... It's not always Oricon that dictates how good a song is... And i'll just quote from a J-Fan what he had said... As long as there were Japanese Girls, boy bands would top the Oricon Charts. It's true... |

i dun rly care about Oricon anymore... im glad my dear laruku and YUI are both doing well but my other faves... not so much... it always surprises me to see great artists get toppled over by... *ahem* okay lets not get to that... but point is... charts dun mean anything... they dun show how great an artist is... |
