^hmm..another best album...
i don't think it will working...

[freedreamer]

Apparently its sold online..not sure about physical release though

[Mirai Noah]

So basically they are digital albums of all her b-sides? That's kinda... random.

[Kaiouforever]

I forgot about her last single but I finally listened to it and it's so beautiful! I love her voice.

Not sure what she's been up to...would love to get those best albums! Seems like a nice mix.

She is in a musical called "Rock of Ages" you can check out the website here:

http://rockofages.jp/

She also did an ending song for a show Hanakappa (hitomi did one as well I believe) called "うれしいこと" (Ureshii koto, or a happy thing) but I can't find the song anywhere.

Other than that...not sure what else she's been busy with. I was hoping for another studio album sometime soon I love her covers but enjoy her original works too.

[Mirai Noah]

I've seen the US tour of Rock of Ages, it's awesome. Hitomi is playing the female lead, Sherrie

I wish she would come out with original work again. It seems like ages since she released something new.

[Maemi]
