^ I think it says on her site she's born in 1985 making her 22 years old. I don't think that's like unacceptable age to debut in j-pop. Ayu was 20yo when she made her mainstream debut.

anyways, I think it shows potential on her part how Avex has put her on Rhythm Zone instead of say, Sonic Groove

Her face looks weird for her age. o.O but part of me doesn't think she can be the next Kuu or Ayu, imo.

Jeez, alot of Gravure idols are getting singing careers. XD Nao Nagasawa...Leah..and now Satomi? o.o

Looks like another mature-musician on the line. Good thing then. I'm sick of happy-bubblegum-pop musicians.


Does Tabibito mean Samurai?
And what genre is this single? The preview's not working here. :<

The preview kind of reminded me of Hitomi Shimatani's music (not her singing, though). I like it.

"Tabibito" means "traveler".

It plays as you enter her website. Only on the index page, though.

A gravure models are usually pre-teen or teen female idols who pose in clothed or suggestive photos.

^ Yeah me too though I think Max's claim that she's the next Kumi/Ayu is kinda farfetched. She doesn't have any particularly striking features like Ayumi or Kumi do.

yea, that's true. but if i'd have to compare her to those two, i think i'd pick ayu, cuz she's kind of mature and classy, i guess? can't explain it, lol.

I think he just means the push avex is gonna give her. The movie her single is being used in should be huge. The drama it's based off got excellent ratings.
