Information
Before Debut
Takahashi was born on April 8, 1989. She was named Hitomi due to the fact that her eyes were very big. Hitomi in Japanese means "eye". Takahashi was definitely influenced by rock music such as Eric Clapton.
When she was in middle-high, Takahashi expressed the thought of becoming a back-up dancer, and danced with her friends, but when Takahashi sang karaoke, Takahashi's friends encouraged Takahashi to sing live. After that, she became confident enough to become a singer. Although she had previously wanted to sing dance music, she chose rock music as her style.
Bokutachi no Yukue
Takahashi auditioned for the Sony Music SD Auditions. Although she was chosen for her voice, she panicked that they would choose someone else over her small stature. Fortunately, those watching the audition saw her for her voice, not her look. She was chosen over 20,000 participants and was selected to sing one of the theme songs for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. She recorded Bokutachi no Yukue in 2004.
Bokutachi no Yukue was announced in 2005, while Takahashi took her exams.
