^ Kick-ass!!

I'm really digging those covers~ Shimatani-hime is such a goddess

"Garage rock" definitely sounds like it will be cool, especially with her fantastic voice!

I love how it seems she will be changing styles again^^

I fell for Hitomi when watching her in Music Station Live 2006. The song Falco is so cool.
Btw, does anyone think that Hitomi looks like Sammi Cheng of Hongkong?

Falco pv is awesome! I think you mean 2005 though?

And I've searched for a Sammi pic

She's pretty too but I wouldn't really call them look-alikes

^ I agree~ Both of them are beautiful, but they don't look alike

I think Shimatani-hime has softer features, but then again, I'm biased LOL

More details on the new album from CDJapan:
Sixth full-length album from Hitomi Shimatani features a classical crossover sound with elements of classical, exotic, tradtional folk music, and rock done with Shimatani's trademark vocals! Includes the song "Destiny - Taiyo no Hana" and more for six hit singles plus more.
F***ing YES

avex can't live without gimmicks though, CD only version includes footage of the songs "somewhere" and "kokoro" performed live at the April 18, 2006 Tokyo New City Orchestra and a 1st press bonus track.

And I'm kinda annoyed they're including Harumachibito/Camellia on the dvd because I already have the pvs on VISUAL WORKS. Couldn't they put those lives they're making CD only extra instead?

Yay!

Sounds like it's going to be awesome, as usual~ I'm really glad Shimatani-hime isn't giving up the "classical crossover sound"! ^^

Any word of a release date yet?

^ I think the question is, "Can she *NOT* sing?"

LOL Shimatani-hime has one of the best voices in the entire J-pop industry!

Hitomi Shimatani Crossover forum has the previews of both songs. I've never been THIS much of disappointed by a Hitomi single. Dragonfly never grew up on me, althought I liked it a bit at the beginning. And the c/w, byebye, seems like a song from Aya's Naked Songs. Buuuh. Where is the upbeat hitomi? the crossover hitomi? the perseus, falco, destiny hitomi?
