^ That's a really nice pic! :heart: I honestly don't think Shimatani-hime can take a bad picture XD LOL

We definitely need more pics of her on here~ Are there any magazines she has been featured in recently?

^ That makes sense XD LOL Thank you for checking that out, though! :heart:

And Shimatani-hime looks so cute in that photo, even if Suzuki is really weird XD LOL

Various news and rumours~

I've read in several sources that Shimatani-hime's next single, Dragonfly, had been postponed until February (aedon also wrote that in this forum :heart:) but according to CD Japan, the single will still be released on 1/17/06. Which is right?

Also, rumour has it that her sixth full-length album is coming up in March :heart: Can anyone confirm this?

^ CDJapan can be a little slow with cancelling releases. It's been confirmed by Hitomi's official site that Dragonfly is postponed, tthat was written in "staff's room". It mentions that the b-side title is Bye-Bye.

There's no information on when exactly her 6th album is released, the site I get news about upcoming releases, fan-net (it's been trustworthy so far) simply lists it as "soon" (近日), not March or any other month :o

And here's a message from Hitomi:

from http://www.joqr.co.jp/keepup/ (her radio show site)

Well, I hope the rumour is true and her sixth album is released in March! XD LOL Although the new single should help to tide us over til then :P

I don't know how to add a poll to this thread, so I'll just make it a discussion question instead~

In your opinion, which is Shimatani-hime's BEST studio album and why?

Answer away! :heart:

Well, considering her single was postponed, I'm afraid the album might come out later, who knows... I can't wait though XD

My favorite studio album is Heart & Symphony (I actually just ordered it through Yesasia, couldn't miss the 50% discount lol). I just like it music wise, as I've already mentioned, I'm not a big fan of her oldschool material ^^;;;

Mine is actually a tie between crossover and Heart & Symphony XD LOL I picked crossover initially because I like the way all of her old songs were redone in the orchestral style (especially Perseus! :inlove:) Plus there were a couple original song on there, too^^

But Heart & Symphony just pwns :heart: There is no other word for it~ Falco, Garnet Moon, Mermaid, Taiyoushin, Sara Souju... Just the entire album :heart: The music, the lyrics, everything is *LOVE* :heart:

I've never heard any of her albums before Love Letter. But Love Letter is probably one of the best jpop albums I've ever heard.
Can never get myself to listen through the whole Heart & Symphony album though.

Tsuioku+LOVE LETTER you mean? It had some great singles/PVs (Viola, Angelus), but I've never listened to it carefully either lol

Random question~

Who is the guy in the PASIO PV? Is he anyone particularly famous? He just looks kind of familiar to me, but I don't know where from XD LOL
