oh, yes, yes, yes!!!
News about hitomi!!! hope she releases something soon!

Thanks for the news! It's been months since I've heard of anything hitomi.
I hope that means she'll be releasing a new single soon.

EXACTLY! Knowing that she will make a "new theme song" smells like a new single is on its way, making this one of the best news of 2005. Reason is, I'm just angry by the fact she's not announcing anything new for quite a long time and I was actually with not much hope of her releasing anything new anytime soon :( Thanks a lot for the great news nmskalmn. Hopefully this song will not be anything like the TRAVELER songs which weren't really that surprising at all =/

I miss hitomi's songs...;;

this is great news , thanks :D

I hope she'll return to her "Huma-rhythm"-style again , with a little bit of influences by eletronic music and cool voice manipulations/distortions. I love those , I think they're great effects
any new hitomi music will do tho :)

The Gillette CM and a related news conference are streaming at yahoo:

She is covering Madonna or some 80's song right? It sounds prety good! If only her new song would be something good as well.

Thanks for the news, it's pretty good to know she's alive but heck I want a new single soon!!!!

Its actually a song by Bananarama or something of that name.

I'd also like teh new single >_<;

The next single will probably be out this summer.

I wonder where her '10 years overall best album' or something like that went?? There was even a vote for it.

edit: PSYCHEDELICOdust got it... didn't see his post. ^^;;;;;

The name of the show is "pretty garage". Official site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/pretty/
She co-hosts with YOU and garage sale.

hitomi also has a special excite site:

The new single is titled "Japanese girl".
Catalog #: AVCD-30728
Release date: 2005.06.01

it's kinda lame how gillette advertisers have obviously hired hitomi to cover that Bananarama song. Original version of that song has been on gillette CM-campaign here too. well it's ok since her cover sounds ok , but I don't like the idea :no

luckily it's only a b-side , I'm hoping the A-side track will be good :D

btw how old is she again ? it's hard to tell from that pic , she's looking good :P

She is 29.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the news I was awaiting for centuries. I hate her 1-year breaks :grumpy Hopefully the song will make the wait worth it...I hope it won't happen how it happened last year :(
Thanks nmskalmn

Well one thing I'm sure, her cover has come back to her old style so I hope Japanese girl will be a very good song! Thanks once again for updating us on hitomi nmskalmn ;)

She is also releasing a new photo book on the same day as "Japanese girl". Preview pic:

that photobook seems "interesting" :P . I've personally considered hitomi really attractive , she's got a great body. that Gillette CM is hot :D

the tracklist according to her official site http://www.avexnet.or.jp/hitomi/new.htm :

1. Japanese girl
2. Venus
3. there is...（new version）

sounds good since I really like "there is ..." :D

and aedon at jpopmusic.com forums posted a link to samples of "Japanese Girl" and "Venus" click here
"Japanese Girl" sounds pretty promising to me , to me it seems to have a bit of 80's music influence :cool
