^ That's a really nice pic!

I honestly don't think Shimatani-hime can take a bad picture

LOL

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

Suzuki & Shimatani

@wakaba: According to Wikipedia "Osaka no Onna" wasn't on any album simply because it was enka, but silly me had a theory about different sub-labels and all that stuff lol

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #84 on:** December 19, 2006, 04:18:19 PM »

^ That makes sense

LOL Thank you for checking that out, though!

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

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

) 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

Can anyone confirm this?

aedon · « **Reply #86 on:** December 19, 2006, 05:52:12 PM »

^ 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

And here's a message from Hitomi:

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

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #87 on:** December 20, 2006, 02:46:08 PM »

Well, I hope the rumour is true and her sixth album is released in March!

LOL Although the new single should help to tide us over til then

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!

aedon · « **Reply #88 on:** December 20, 2006, 03:53:40 PM »

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

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 ^^;;;

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #89 on:** December 20, 2006, 04:51:43 PM »

Mine is actually a tie between crossover and Heart & Symphony

LOL I picked crossover initially because I like the way all of her old songs were redone in the orchestral style (especially Perseus!

) Plus there were a couple original song on there, too^^

But Heart & Symphony just pwns

There is no other word for it~ Falco, Garnet Moon, Mermaid, Taiyoushin, Sara Souju... Just the entire album

The music, the lyrics, everything is *LOVE*

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.

aedon · « **Reply #91 on:** December 20, 2006, 06:26:42 PM »

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

I was just looking for some other jpop artists to listen to and Shaoran pointed me to this thread. Thanks for the samplers!!:ONkneelbow:

Hope you'll enjoy Hitomi, ohbahsan, she's

Don't forget to dl PASIO too

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #94 on:** December 21, 2006, 04:14:49 PM »

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

LOL

Linus · « **Reply #95 on:** December 26, 2006, 09:18:46 PM »

Yeah. I addicted ohbah to Shimatani

BTW JPS has her crossover II. I had doubts about it so didn't order it...

The songs in bold are simply the ones I liked the most :p

Well now I've seen it I can say Shimatani deserves my money. This DVD has a high chance to be bought in my first 2007 purchase
