thermo plastic and Love Life - definitely check these two out, by far her best work, by my standards, anyway.

I definately agree with LOVE LIFE. I do adore thermo pastic but huma-rhythm is always at the top for me. then TRAVELER. then thermo-plastic. then LOVE CONCENT

Those are some unfortunate sales. LOVE CONCENT is in my opinion her strongest album, and if it's better than LOVE LIFE, thermo plastic and Huma-Rythm, it's insanely perfect. The whole album just sounds so fresh, innovative and effortlessly cool.

By the way, does the CD+DVD version only include PV's for Ai no Kotoba, GO MY WAY, and Japanese Girl? If the tracklist listed on the obi is true, that would seriously trash my soul. Love Angel and CRA“G”Y☆MAMA are my favourite PV's from the album. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter, I'm ordering the CD+DVD right away regardless.

Anyway.... I.... haven't given her much of my time yet. TRAVELER and huma-rhythm were my first two experiments Okay, although her voice bugs me. She does have some cool covers, though (she looks.... horrid on TRAVELER but it is colorful).

She needs to sink in too.

I don't like her well so far, none of her songs have screamed at me "PLAY ME MORE" (maybe because my mind drifts when listening to music, quite often?) but something about her is making me give her more chances. I do that for lots of people, actually.

Wow, her album flopped HARD.

But... ah well. Hitomi Shimatani doesn't sell well at all anymore, but she's still chugging. Maybe it's the Hitomi/hitomi name: It's like a curse.

Maybe she's just not your style?

I personally think that every album since "thermo plastic" are absolute genius.

I dunno. I haven't listened to but two albums, and it took me awhile to get into others, so I'm gonna give her a chance.

In October 2006, hitomi was featured in two commercials for JACCS CARD that purport to show an insight into hitomi's personal life:
(1) In the commercials, it is revealed that hitomi practises kickboxing as a pastime.

(2) The commercials also feature hitomi reciting Chinese poems in Mandarin (while in a bathtub). The product's website reveals that hitomi is learning the Chinese language.

(3) It is shown that hitomi is able to do the splits.

(4) hitomi's pet, a white pug, makes its first appearance on screen.

Ooo!

UGH! I'm like so (miss)understood

What I meant was that she looks a lot younger than her age

I know that 30 is not OLD

IMO, asian women look good until they hit late 40s :p
[being asian myself, I should know this ._.]

jeffycue · #**149** 18th October 2006, 01:10 AM

truehappiness · #**150** 18th October 2006, 04:15 AM

2nd week for LOVE CONCENT: #38 x.x

elepop · #**151** 18th October 2006, 04:21 AM

^ How much did it sale?

truehappiness · #**152** 18th October 2006, 04:22 AM

I don't think sales were released yet since it was out of the top 30..

elepop · #**153** 18th October 2006, 04:27 AM

Ahhh that's really too bad.

It truly deserves better. I guess Japan isn't really interested in her anymore...

~X2RADialbomber~ · #**154** 18th October 2006, 08:32 AM

LOVE CONCENT was my favourite album for a very long time

I really hope more people apprecitate her music, like they did in her past!

Mika <3 · #**155** 18th October 2006, 11:36 AM

Hitomi's sales are declining rapidly..she's always in the top 10 for the first 2/3 weeks..but love concent only managed a pathetic 13th posistion during her 1st week..
