'''Onitsuka Chihiro''' (鬼束ちひろ) is a Japanese singer-songwriter, well-known for a string of high profile drama tie-up ballad singles, the most successful of those being "[[Gekkou]]" (theme song for ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]''). Onitsuka was originally signed to [[Toshiba EMI]] from 2000 onwards, however in 2004 dropped her label and later was switched to [[Universal Music]]. After releasing one single on her new label, Onitsuka would go on an extended hiatus until 2007 when she would return to the music scene.<br />

<br />
===Early Days - ''Insomnia''===<br />
Onitsuka, since her youth, had been influenced by Western singer-songwriter musicians. She would listen to many Western artists through the interest from her parents such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carpenters The Carpenters], though it was US songwriter [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_(singer) Jewel]'s music that inspired her to become a singer of her own. The first song Onitsuka wrote was "[[Call|call]]", which she wrote at 17 after being inspired by a play about AIDS. At the time, Onitsuka would write all of her songs in English; however by the time they were recorded the lyrics had been changed into Japanese. After reading an advertisement for a musical audition in ''[[De-view|De-view]]'' magazine, Onitsuka would perform "[[Call|call]]" there and would win the grand prix prize for the audition. This lead to Onitsuka being signed to the management team [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
After graduating from senior high school in the spring of 1999, Onitsuka would travel to Tokyo to prepare for her debut (by taking voice lessons, etc). In the six months since Onitsuka first arrived at Tokyo, she had written over 60 songs (such as "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]", "[[Gekkou]]" and "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]"). In February 2000, Onitsuka would debut under [[Toshiba EMI]] with the single "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]". However, this single would not chart on the top 200 on Oricon charts.<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Infectprom.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]" (2001)]]<br />
<br />
After a period of six months, a new Onitsuka song was announced. The drama ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]'' would start in July 2000, with "[[Gekkou]]" as its theme song. The single (which was released in the midst of the drama's run) met with prolonged success (a phenomenon not commonly seen in Japanese music charts which favors extreme first week sales). While in its first week it only reached a position of #30, it would later consistently sell over 20,000 copies for 12 weeks. The drama would run until mid-September, with its final episode showing Onitsuka herself making a cameo and performing "Gekkou" live on location in Okinawa. The single peaked at #11 in late September, and in total would sell approximately 600,000 copies in total.<br />
<br />
Onitsuka would follow up this single with a third in November, the variety show ''[[Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.|Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.]]'''s ending theme song "[[Cage (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Cage]]". However, this single would not be as successful, reaching #15 and charting in the top 30 for two weeks. Her fourth single, "[[Memai / Edge|Memai / edge]]", was released on the anniversary of her debut single's release, and would be Onitsuka first single to break the top 10, at the 6th position. "[[Memai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Memai]]" from this single would go on to win the award for best lyrics at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.<br />
<br />
After these four singles, Onitsuka's debut album, ''[[Insomnia]]'', would be released. It debuted at #1 on Oricon charts (making this Onitsuka's only #1 product to date) and in total has sold approximately 1,400,000 copies. A song from the album, "[[Rasen (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Rasen]]", was later featured in the [[Hirosue Ryoko]]-starring internationally distributed film ''[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabi_(film) Wasabi]'' as an insert song.<br />
<br />
===''This Armor'' - ''Sugar High''===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Thisarmprom.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting ''[[This Armor]]'' (2002)]]<br />
<br />
Onitsuka's comeback single after the success of her first album was the September single "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]", with "[[Infection|infection]]" being used as the theme song to the dorama ''[[Hyouten 2001|Hyouten 2001]]''. The single suffered a sad fate, as the lyrics of "infection" could be seen to link to the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11,_2001_attacks September 11 Terrorism Attacks]. Because of this, [[Toshiba EMI]] decided to severely cut back the promotion of the song and only promoted the second A-side, "[[Little Beat Rifle|LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]". Onitsuka's sixth single "[[Ryuuseigun]]" would once again be a drama theme song, for the second series of ''TRICK'' entitled ''[[Trick 2|TRICK 2]]''. This single would be quickly followed by Onitsuka's second studio album, ''[[This Armor]]''.<br />
<br />
On Novermber 5, 2002, Onitsuka would hold a large concert at the [[Nippon Budokan]], entitled'' [[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'', which included some songs that had not yet been released. IN December, only nine months after the release of ''This Armor'', Onitsuka would release her third original album, ''[[Sugar High]]''. The album, with no single releases was an album filled with a myriad of minor tie-ups (the most major of these being that the song "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" was used as the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]'s theme song). Unlike Onitsuka other's albums which had 5 or more PVs, this would only have one (for the song "[[King of Solitude|King of Solitude]]"). Despite these promotion short-comings, the album still managed to reach #2 on Oricon album charts.<br />
<br />
===End of Toshiba-EMI Days - Hiatus===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Signprom.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" (2003)]]<br />
<br />
Throughout 2003, Onitsuka Chihiro would release four singles. The first of which was the simply arranged "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" in May, which was followed in August by a more rock-influenced upbeat track "[[Beautiful Fighter]]". However, in September Onitsuka would have to undergo emergency throat surgery and her following two singles saw a stripped back release. The first of these two, "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e]]" was a cover of the hit song "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi|Ii Hi Tabidachi]]" by [[Yamaguchi Momoe]] with modified lyrics. The song was featured in commercials for Japan Railway, much like the original before it. The second was the theme song to the third series of ''TRICK'', entitled ''[[Trick 3|TRICK 3]]'' (called "[[Watashi to Waltz wo]]"). The lack of Onitsuka promoting these two singles are evident by their tracklists; "Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e" featured "[[Gekkou]]" performed live from her ''[[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'' DVD (which had been released five months earlier) and "Watashi to Waltz wo" featured a song cut from her third album, ''Sugar High''. Despite this, Onitsuka performed many concerts during this time before falling ill and canceling two concerts.<br />
<br />
Two new releases would then be able to be pre-ordered on online shopping sites, to be both released on 2004.03.17. The first was Onitsuka's fourth album (TOCT-25310) and Onitsuka's third PV clip DVD (TOBF-5300). However, soon both these items would be removed from pre-order permanently. Soon, a new item would replace these two at online shopping sites: a 7,000円 ''[[Singles Box (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Singles BOX]]'' collection. Furthermore, a note would appear at Onitsuka's official website that stated that it was not any intention of Onitsuka herself's to release this. This conflict with her record company is said to be the cause of the succeeding split from [[Toshiba EMI]], and later [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Sodatsuprom.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting [[Sodatsu Zassou]] (2004)]]<br />
<br />
In June 2004, Onitsuka was then signed under [[Sony]]'s music management team, and later in July it was revealed that Onitsuka would be releasing music through the [[Universal]] music company. After a new single, "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]", was announced, Onitsuka would appear as a surprise guest at the televised [[Space Shower TV]] event ''Sweet Love Shower 2004''. There, she would cover the grunge anthem [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smells_Like_Teen_Spirit Smells Like Teen Spirit] originally sung by [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(band) Nirvana] and also [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police The Police]'s song [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Pain King of Pain]. Both of these songs were sung in re-arranged, orchestral versions. Onstage, Onitsuka would be adorned with such things as heavy make-up and a more array of clothes. Following this appearance, she would launch into her new single, the heavy rock song "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]". Onitsuka was to follow this with an appearance on the music show ''[[Bokura no Ongaku]]'' on 2004.10.30, but however cancelled this due to poor health. When the "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]" single was released it reached to #10 position, despite there being very little promotion for the song at all (including the fact that the song has no PV). Toshiba EMI would, in turn, release a two-set Onitsuka Chihiro [[The Ultimate Collection|best album]] as well as a [[The Complete Clips|complete PV collection]] in December.<br />
<br />
From now on, there would be little news of Onitsuka as she continued her hiatus. However, there were three notable events that occurred during this time:<br />
<br />
* On 2005.01.31, Sony Music terminated its management contract with Onitsuka Chihiro. Reputedly this was a compromise met to do with the management of copyright when [[iTunes|iTunes]] opens in Japan (as Sony Music has its own music store)<br />
* On 2005.07.26, Onitsuka was confronted with a stalker who was apprehended after he stood outside of Onitsuka's residence for 30 minutes with a bouquet.<br />
* On 2005.09.06, Toshiba-EMI would release their second consecutive best album from Onitsuka, called [[Singles 2000-2003|SINGLES 2000-2003]]. The album features all A-side songs during her stay at the Toshiba EMI record company, as well as three bonus songs: a 'summer radio mix' of "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]", the original version of "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" featured in the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter] and the [[Mamotte Agetai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|cover]] of [[Matsutoya Yumi]]'s "[[Mamotte Agetai|Mamotte Agetai]]" that Onitsuka sung for the tribute album ''[[Queen's Fellows: Yuming 30th Anniversary Cover Album|Queen's Fellows: yuming 30th anniversary cover album]]''. The limited edition of this album also featured footage from The Unplugged Show, including the version of "[[Beautiful Fighter]]" that was to be featured on Onitsuka's third PV clip collection before its cancel.<br />
<br />
===Return to the Music Scene===<br />
[[Image:chievery.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[everyhome]]" (2007)]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In September 2006, reports that Onitsuka had sung at a preview of the movie ''[[Monshen|Monshen]]'' had surfaced. Later in the month, detailed information including photos. The event took place on the 10th of September, where Onitsuka would sing a duet with [[Tamai Yuumi|Tamai Yuumi]] ([[seiyuu]] for the character Lin in ''[[Spirited Away|Spirited Away]]'') on her band [[Psalm|Psalm]]'s song "[[Umi no Uta|Umi no Uta]]" (うみの唄; ''Song of the Sea'').<br />
<br />
In the March '07 edition of the magazine [[ROCKIN'ON JAPAN|ROCKIN'ON JAPAN]], it was revealed that Onitsuka Chihiro would return to the music scene full-time. Her songs were produced by [[Kobayashi Takeshi|Kobayashi Takeshi]] (producer of [[Hitoto Yo]], [[Mr. Children]], [[Salyu]], etc). Three songs were mentioned in the article, namedly "[[Angelina (song)|Angelina]]"", [[Now|NOW]]" and "[[everyhome]]". Further information was released by the [[Hochi Yomiuri|Hochi Yomiuri]]: according to her record label (she is still with Universal) Onitsuka had written roughly 10 new songs, and had been recording since spring 2006. "[[everyhome]]" was released as her return single in the summer, which received moderate success. Onitsuka's second 2007 single, "[[Bokura Barairo no Hibi]]" (September release), features "[[Now|NOW]]" as its B-side. This single was followed by the album ''[[Las Vegas|LAS VEGAS]]'' in October, which hit #6 on the weekly Oricon Charts. <br />
<br />
Onitsuka took another short leave and returned in October of the next year to release "[[Hotaru]]" (蛍), the first of a steady flow of singles. It reached a strong #11 on the weekly Oricon charts. She also released ''[[Nine Dirts and Snow White Flickers|NINE DIRTS AND SNOW WHITE FLICKERS]]'', her 3rd live DVD. In May of the next year she released "[[X / Last Melody]]", a double A-side single with the former song being an edgy rock song with slightly distorted vocals, something new for Onitsuka. The single also reached #11 on the Weekly charts. In July she released "[[Kaerimichi wo Nakushite]]" (帰り路をなくして), another string-ladden ballad, which reached #13 on the charts. Shortly After, "[[Kagerou (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Kagerou]]" (陽炎) was released early September. Her 5th studio album, ''[[Dorothy|DOROTHY]]'', was released October 28, 2009, peaking at #10 on the Weekly Oricon charts. ''[[Hard Red Fantasia|HARD RED FANTASIA]]'', Onitsuka's next PV clip DVD was to be released on the same day, but was cancelled. On April 28, 2010, ''[[One of Pillars ~Best of Chihiro Onitsuka 2000-2010~|ONE OF PILLARS ~BEST OF CHIHIRO ONITSUKA 2000-2010]]'' was announced, which was the first best-of album approved by Onitsuka herself. ''HARD RED FANTASIA'' was also re-announced, set for a June 30, 3010 date. ''ONE OF PILLARS'' peaked at #13 on the Oricon charts, and with little promotion and only one new song, showed the lowest sales of Onitsuka's career. A collaboration with [[SoulJa]] was released on June 16, 2010, "[[Gekkou ~God's Child~|Gekkou ~GOD'S CHILD~]]".<br />
<br />
===Assault and FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT===<br />
<br />
On September 9, 2010 it was officially announced that Onitsuka had been assaulted a month prior in her apartment by her new boyfriend, [[Yusuke Komiya]]. Komiya had a history of violence, and was reportedly intoxicated during the incident which happened on August 18, 2010. By the end of September, he was found and arrested. His trial began December 16, 2010, and he was later sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment. Onitsuka suffered injuries to her face and broken ribs, but despite this was reported to be finishing up her next album. On February 28, 2011 it was announced that her contract with [[Universal Music]] had ended, and Onitsuka was now signed under [[For Life Music Entertainment|FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT]]. Her next single and album were also announced, "[[Aoi Tori (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Aoi Tori]]" and ''[[Ken to Kaede]]'' respectively. In addition, a 25-page interview with [[Papyrus]] magazine was released in the month, and her first autobiographical book entitled "[[Tsuki no Hahen]]" would coincide with her album release. ''Ken to Kaede'' reached #16 on the weekly Oricon charts, with little promotion. Throughout May, Onitsuka's artwork was featured in and exhibition entitled "THE BUNNY AND THE PYTHON" at Sundaland Cafe in Shibuya. In October, another exhibition was held in the same location, this time called "WHOLE MONSTER PUNKS".<br />
<br />
At the end of November, Onitsuka started a three date tour titled ''[[Hotel Murderess of Arizona My Gun|HOTEL MURDERESS OF ARIZONA ACOUSTIC SHOW]]'', which was later released on March 14, 2012 on DVD. At that time, it was also announced that Onitsuka would be releasing her first cover album, ''[[Famous Microphone|FAMOUS MICROPHONE]]''. It featured exclusively English songs, including some of her past covers sung during tours, and one original song. The album was released on May 30, 2012.<br />

'''Onitsuka Chihiro''' (鬼束ちひろ) is a Japanese singer-songwriter, well-known for a string of high profile drama tie-up ballad singles, the most successful of those being "[[Gekkou]]" (theme song for ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]''). Onitsuka was originally signed to [[Toshiba EMI]] from 2000 onwards, however in 2004 dropped her label and later was switched to [[Universal Music]]. After releasing one single on her new label, Onitsuka would go on an extended hiatus until 2007 when she would return to the music scene.<br />

<br />
===Early Days - ''Insomnia''===<br />
Onitsuka, since her youth, had been influenced by Western singer-songwriter musicians. She would listen to many Western artists through the interest from her parents such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carpenters The Carpenters], though it was US songwriter [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_(singer) Jewel]'s music that inspired her to become a singer of her own. The first song Onitsuka wrote was "[[Call|call]]", which she wrote at 17 after being inspired by a play about AIDS. At the time, Onitsuka would write all of her songs in English; however by the time they were recorded the lyrics had been changed into Japanese. After reading an advertisement for a musical audition in ''[[De-view|De-view]]'' magazine, Onitsuka would perform "[[Call|call]]" there and would win the grand prix prize for the audition. This lead to Onitsuka being signed to the management team [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
After graduating from senior high school in the spring of 1999, Onitsuka would travel to Tokyo to prepare for her debut (by taking voice lessons, etc). In the six months since Onitsuka first arrived at Tokyo, she had written over 60 songs (such as "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]", "[[Gekkou]]" and "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]"). In February 2000, Onitsuka would debut under [[Toshiba EMI]] with the single "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]". However, this single would not chart on the top 200 on Oricon charts.<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Infectprom.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]" (2001)]]<br />
<br />
After a period of six months, a new Onitsuka song was announced. The drama ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]'' would start in July 2000, with "[[Gekkou]]" as its theme song. The single (which was released in the midst of the drama's run) met with prolonged success (a phenomenon not commonly seen in Japanese music charts which favors extreme first week sales). While in its first week it only reached a position of #30, it would later consistently sell over 20,000 copies for 12 weeks. The drama would run until mid-September, with its final episode showing Onitsuka herself making a cameo and performing "Gekkou" live on location in Okinawa. The single peaked at #11 in late September, and in total would sell approximately 600,000 copies in total.<br />
<br />
Onitsuka would follow up this single with a third in November, the variety show ''[[Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.|Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.]]'''s ending theme song "[[Cage (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Cage]]". However, this single would not be as successful, reaching #15 and charting in the top 30 for two weeks. Her fourth single, "[[Memai / Edge|Memai / edge]]", was released on the anniversary of her debut single's release, and would be Onitsuka first single to break the top 10, at the 6th position. "[[Memai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Memai]]" from this single would go on to win the award for best lyrics at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.<br />
<br />
After these four singles, Onitsuka's debut album, ''[[Insomnia]]'', would be released. It debuted at #1 on Oricon charts (making this Onitsuka's only #1 product to date) and in total has sold approximately 1,400,000 copies. A song from the album, "[[Rasen (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Rasen]]", was later featured in the [[Hirosue Ryoko]]-starring internationally distributed film ''[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabi_(film) Wasabi]'' as an insert song.<br />
<br />
===''This Armor'' - ''Sugar High''===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Thisarmprom.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting ''[[This Armor]]'' (2002)]]<br />
<br />
Onitsuka's comeback single after the success of her first album was the September single "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]", with "[[Infection|infection]]" being used as the theme song to the dorama ''[[Hyouten 2001|Hyouten 2001]]''. The single suffered a sad fate, as the lyrics of "infection" could be seen to link to the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11,_2001_attacks September 11 Terrorism Attacks]. Because of this, [[Toshiba EMI]] decided to severely cut back the promotion of the song and only promoted the second A-side, "[[Little Beat Rifle|LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]". Onitsuka's sixth single "[[Ryuuseigun]]" would once again be a drama theme song, for the second series of ''TRICK'' entitled ''[[Trick 2|TRICK 2]]''. This single would be quickly followed by Onitsuka's second studio album, ''[[This Armor]]''.<br />
<br />
On Novermber 5, 2002, Onitsuka would hold a large concert at the [[Nippon Budokan]], entitled'' [[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'', which included some songs that had not yet been released. IN December, only nine months after the release of ''This Armor'', Onitsuka would release her third original album, ''[[Sugar High]]''. The album, with no single releases was an album filled with a myriad of minor tie-ups (the most major of these being that the song "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" was used as the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]'s theme song). Unlike Onitsuka other's albums which had 5 or more PVs, this would only have one (for the song "[[King of Solitude|King of Solitude]]"). Despite these promotion short-comings, the album still managed to reach #2 on Oricon album charts.<br />
<br />
===End of Toshiba-EMI Days - Hiatus===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Signprom.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" (2003)]]<br />
<br />
Throughout 2003, Onitsuka Chihiro would release four singles. The first of which was the simply arranged "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" in May, which was followed in August by a more rock-influenced upbeat track "[[Beautiful Fighter]]". However, in September Onitsuka would have to undergo emergency throat surgery and her following two singles saw a stripped back release. The first of these two, "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e]]" was a cover of the hit song "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi|Ii Hi Tabidachi]]" by [[Yamaguchi Momoe]] with modified lyrics. The song was featured in commercials for Japan Railway, much like the original before it. The second was the theme song to the third series of ''TRICK'', entitled ''[[Trick 3|TRICK 3]]'' (called "[[Watashi to Waltz wo]]"). The lack of Onitsuka promoting these two singles are evident by their tracklists; "Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e" featured "[[Gekkou]]" performed live from her ''[[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'' DVD (which had been released five months earlier) and "Watashi to Waltz wo" featured a song cut from her third album, ''Sugar High''. Despite this, Onitsuka performed many concerts during this time before falling ill and canceling two concerts.<br />
<br />
Two new releases would then be able to be pre-ordered on online shopping sites, to be both released on 2004.03.17. The first was Onitsuka's fourth album (TOCT-25310) and Onitsuka's third PV clip DVD (TOBF-5300). However, soon both these items would be removed from pre-order permanently. Soon, a new item would replace these two at online shopping sites: a 7,000円 ''[[Singles Box (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Singles BOX]]'' collection. Furthermore, a note would appear at Onitsuka's official website that stated that it was not any intention of Onitsuka herself's to release this. This conflict with her record company is said to be the cause of the succeeding split from [[Toshiba EMI]], and later [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Sodatsuprom.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting [[Sodatsu Zassou]] (2004)]]<br />
<br />
In June 2004, Onitsuka was then signed under [[Sony]]'s music management team, and later in July it was revealed that Onitsuka would be releasing music through the [[Universal]] music company. After a new single, "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]", was announced, Onitsuka would appear as a surprise guest at the televised [[Space Shower TV]] event ''Sweet Love Shower 2004''. There, she would cover the grunge anthem [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smells_Like_Teen_Spirit Smells Like Teen Spirit] originally sung by [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(band) Nirvana] and also [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police The Police]'s song [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Pain King of Pain]. Both of these songs were sung in re-arranged, orchestral versions. Onstage, Onitsuka would be adorned with such things as heavy make-up and a more array of clothes. Following this appearance, she would launch into her new single, the heavy rock song "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]". Onitsuka was to follow this with an appearance on the music show ''[[Bokura no Ongaku]]'' on 2004.10.30, but however cancelled this due to poor health. When the "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]" single was released it reached to #10 position, despite there being very little promotion for the song at all (including the fact that the song has no PV). Toshiba EMI would, in turn, release a two-set Onitsuka Chihiro [[The Ultimate Collection|best album]] as well as a [[The Complete Clips|complete PV collection]] in December.<br />
<br />
From now on, there would be little news of Onitsuka as she continued her hiatus. However, there were three notable events that occurred during this time:<br />
<br />
* On 2005.01.31, Sony Music terminated its management contract with Onitsuka Chihiro. Reputedly this was a compromise met to do with the management of copyright when [[iTunes|iTunes]] opens in Japan (as Sony Music has its own music store)<br />
* On 2005.07.26, Onitsuka was confronted with a stalker who was apprehended after he stood outside of Onitsuka's residence for 30 minutes with a bouquet.<br />
* On 2005.09.06, Toshiba-EMI would release their second consecutive best album from Onitsuka, called [[Singles 2000-2003|SINGLES 2000-2003]]. The album features all A-side songs during her stay at the Toshiba EMI record company, as well as three bonus songs: a 'summer radio mix' of "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]", the original version of "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" featured in the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter] and the [[Mamotte Agetai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|cover]] of [[Matsutoya Yumi]]'s "[[Mamotte Agetai|Mamotte Agetai]]" that Onitsuka sung for the tribute album ''[[Queen's Fellows: Yuming 30th Anniversary Cover Album|Queen's Fellows: yuming 30th anniversary cover album]]''. The limited edition of this album also featured footage from The Unplugged Show, including the version of "[[Beautiful Fighter]]" that was to be featured on Onitsuka's third PV clip collection before its cancel.<br />
<br />
===Return to the Music Scene===<br />
[[Image:chievery.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[everyhome]]" (2007)]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In September 2006, reports that Onitsuka had sung at a preview of the movie ''[[Monshen|Monshen]]'' had surfaced. Later in the month, detailed information including photos. The event took place on the 10th of September, where Onitsuka would sing a duet with [[Tamai Yuumi|Tamai Yuumi]] ([[seiyuu]] for the character Lin in ''[[Spirited Away|Spirited Away]]'') on her band [[Psalm|Psalm]]'s song "[[Umi no Uta|Umi no Uta]]" (うみの唄; ''Song of the Sea'').<br />
<br />
In the March '07 edition of the magazine [[ROCKIN'ON JAPAN|ROCKIN'ON JAPAN]], it was revealed that Onitsuka Chihiro would return to the music scene full-time. Her songs were produced by [[Kobayashi Takeshi|Kobayashi Takeshi]] (producer of [[Hitoto Yo]], [[Mr. Children]], [[Salyu]], etc). Three songs were mentioned in the article, namedly "[[Angelina (song)|Angelina]]"", [[Now|NOW]]" and "[[everyhome]]". Further information was released by the [[Hochi Yomiuri|Hochi Yomiuri]]: according to her record label (she is still with Universal) Onitsuka had written roughly 10 new songs, and had been recording since spring 2006. "[[everyhome]]" was released as her return single in the summer, which received moderate success. Onitsuka's second 2007 single, "[[Bokura Barairo no Hibi]]" (September release), features "[[Now|NOW]]" as its B-side. This single was followed by the album ''[[Las Vegas|LAS VEGAS]]'' in October, which hit #6 on the weekly Oricon Charts. <br />
<br />
Onitsuka took another short leave and returned in October of the next year to release "[[Hotaru]]" (蛍), the first of a steady flow of singles. It reached a strong #11 on the weekly Oricon charts. She also released ''[[Nine Dirts and Snow White Flickers|NINE DIRTS AND SNOW WHITE FLICKERS]]'', her 3rd live DVD. In May of the next year she released "[[X / Last Melody]]", a double A-side single with the former song being an edgy rock song with slightly distorted vocals, something new for Onitsuka. The single also reached #11 on the Weekly charts. In July she released "[[Kaerimichi wo Nakushite]]" (帰り路をなくして), another string-ladden ballad, which reached #13 on the charts. Shortly After, "[[Kagerou (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Kagerou]]" (陽炎) was released early September. Her 5th studio album, ''[[Dorothy|DOROTHY]]'', was released October 28, 2009, peaking at #10 on the Weekly Oricon charts. ''[[Hard Red Fantasia|HARD RED FANTASIA]]'', Onitsuka's next PV clip DVD was to be released on the same day, but was cancelled. On April 28, 2010, ''[[One of Pillars ~Best of Chihiro Onitsuka 2000-2010~|ONE OF PILLARS ~BEST OF CHIHIRO ONITSUKA 2000-2010]]'' was announced, which was the first best-of album approved by Onitsuka herself. ''HARD RED FANTASIA'' was also re-announced, set for a June 30, 3010 date. ''ONE OF PILLARS'' peaked at #13 on the Oricon charts, and with little promotion and only one new song, showed the lowest sales of Onitsuka's career. A collaboration with [[SoulJa]] was released on June 16, 2010, "[[Gekkou ~God's Child~|Gekkou ~GOD'S CHILD~]]".<br />
<br />
===Assault and FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT===<br />
<br />
On September 9, 2010 it was officially announced that Onitsuka had been assaulted a month prior in her apartment by her new boyfriend, [[Yusuke Komiya]]. Komiya had a history of violence, and was reportedly intoxicated during the incident which happened on August 18, 2010. By the end of September, he was found and arrested. His trial began December 16, 2010, and he was later sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment. Onitsuka suffered injuries to her face and broken ribs, but despite this was reported to be finishing up her next album. On February 28, 2011 it was announced that her contract with [[Universal Music]] had ended, and Onitsuka was now signed under [[For Life Music Entertainment|FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT]]. Her next single and album were also announced, "[[Aoi Tori (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Aoi Tori]]" and ''[[Ken to Kaede]]'' respectively. In addition, a 25-page interview with [[Papyrus]] magazine was released in the month, and her first autobiographical book entitled "[[Tsuki no Hahen]]" would coincide with her album release. ''Ken to Kaede'' reached #16 on the weekly Oricon charts, with little promotion. Throughout May, Onitsuka's artwork was featured in and exhibition entitled "THE BUNNY AND THE PYTHON" at Sundaland Cafe in Shibuya. In October, another exhibition was held in the same location, this time called "WHOLE MONSTER PUNKS".<br />
<br />
At the end of November, Onitsuka started a three date tour titled ''[[Hotel Murderess of Arizona My Gun|HOTEL MURDERESS OF ARIZONA ACOUSTIC SHOW]]'', which was later released on March 14, 2012 on DVD. At that time, it was also announced that Onitsuka would be releasing her first cover album, ''[[Famous Microphone|FAMOUS MICROPHONE]]. It featured exclusively English songs, including some of her past covers sung during tours, and one original song. The album was released on May 30 2012.<br />

'''Onitsuka Chihiro''' (鬼束ちひろ) is a Japanese singer-songwriter, well-known for a string of high profile drama tie-up ballad singles, the most successful of those being "[[Gekkou]]" (theme song for ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]''). Onitsuka was originally signed to [[Toshiba EMI]] from 2000 onwards, however in 2004 dropped her label and later was switched to [[Universal Music]]. After releasing one single on her new label, Onitsuka would go on an extended hiatus until 2007 when she would return to the music scene.<br />

<br />
===Early Days - ''Insomnia''===<br />
Onitsuka, since her youth, had been influenced by Western singer-songwriter musicians. She would listen to many Western artists through the interest from her parents such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carpenters The Carpenters], though it was US songwriter [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_(singer) Jewel]'s music that inspired her to become a singer of her own. The first song Onitsuka wrote was "[[Call|call]]", which she wrote at 17 after being inspired by a play about AIDS. At the time, Onitsuka would write all of her songs in English; however by the time they were recorded the lyrics had been changed into Japanese. After reading an advertisement for a musical audition in ''[[De-view|De-view]]'' magazine, Onitsuka would perform "[[Call|call]]" there and would win the grand prix prize for the audition. This lead to Onitsuka being signed to the management team [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
After graduating from senior high school in the spring of 1999, Onitsuka would travel to Tokyo to prepare for her debut (by taking voice lessons, etc). In the six months since Onitsuka first arrived at Tokyo, she had written over 60 songs (such as "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]", "[[Gekkou]]" and "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]"). In February 2000, Onitsuka would debut under [[Toshiba EMI]] with the single "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]". However, this single would not chart on the top 200 on Oricon charts.<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Infectprom.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]" (2001)]]<br />
<br />
After a period of six months, a new Onitsuka song was announced. The drama ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]'' would start in July 2000, with "[[Gekkou]]" as its theme song. The single (which was released in the midst of the drama's run) met with prolonged success (a phenomenon not commonly seen in Japanese music charts which favors extreme first week sales). While in its first week it only reached a position of #30, it would later consistently sell over 20,000 copies for 12 weeks. The drama would run until mid-September, with its final episode showing Onitsuka herself making a cameo and performing "Gekkou" live on location in Okinawa. The single peaked at #11 in late September, and in total would sell approximately 600,000 copies in total.<br />
<br />
Onitsuka would follow up this single with a third in November, the variety show ''[[Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.|Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.]]'''s ending theme song "[[Cage (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Cage]]". However, this single would not be as successful, reaching #15 and charting in the top 30 for two weeks. Her fourth single, "[[Memai / Edge|Memai / edge]]", was released on the anniversary of her debut single's release, and would be Onitsuka first single to break the top 10, at the 6th position. "[[Memai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Memai]]" from this single would go on to win the award for best lyrics at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.<br />
<br />
After these four singles, Onitsuka's debut album, ''[[Insomnia]]'', would be released. It debuted at #1 on Oricon charts (making this Onitsuka's only #1 product to date) and in total has sold approximately 1,400,000 copies. A song from the album, "[[Rasen (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Rasen]]", was later featured in the [[Hirosue Ryoko]]-starring internationally distributed film ''[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabi_(film) Wasabi]'' as an insert song.<br />
<br />
===''This Armor'' - ''Sugar High''===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Thisarmprom.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting ''[[This Armor]]'' (2002)]]<br />
<br />
Onitsuka's comeback single after the success of her first album was the September single "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]", with "[[Infection|infection]]" being used as the theme song to the dorama ''[[Hyouten 2001|Hyouten 2001]]''. The single suffered a sad fate, as the lyrics of "infection" could be seen to link to the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11,_2001_attacks September 11 Terrorism Attacks]. Because of this, [[Toshiba EMI]] decided to severely cut back the promotion of the song and only promoted the second A-side, "[[Little Beat Rifle|LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]". Onitsuka's sixth single "[[Ryuuseigun]]" would once again be a drama theme song, for the second series of ''TRICK'' entitled ''[[Trick 2|TRICK 2]]''. This single would be quickly followed by Onitsuka's second studio album, ''[[This Armor]]''.<br />
<br />
On Novermber 5, 2002, Onitsuka would hold a large concert at the [[Nippon Budokan]], entitled'' [[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'', which included some songs that had not yet been released. IN December, only nine months after the release of ''This Armor'', Onitsuka would release her third original album, ''[[Sugar High]]''. The album, with no single releases was an album filled with a myriad of minor tie-ups (the most major of these being that the song "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" was used as the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]'s theme song). Unlike Onitsuka other's albums which had 5 or more PVs, this would only have one (for the song "[[King of Solitude|King of Solitude]]"). Despite these promotion short-comings, the album still managed to reach #2 on Oricon album charts.<br />
<br />
===End of Toshiba-EMI Days - Hiatus===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Signprom.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" (2003)]]<br />
<br />
Throughout 2003, Onitsuka Chihiro would release four singles. The first of which was the simply arranged "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" in May, which was followed in August by a more rock-influenced upbeat track "[[Beautiful Fighter]]". However, in September Onitsuka would have to undergo emergency throat surgery and her following two singles saw a stripped back release. The first of these two, "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e]]" was a cover of the hit song "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi|Ii Hi Tabidachi]]" by [[Yamaguchi Momoe]] with modified lyrics. The song was featured in commercials for Japan Railway, much like the original before it. The second was the theme song to the third series of ''TRICK'', entitled ''[[Trick 3|TRICK 3]]'' (called "[[Watashi to Waltz wo]]"). The lack of Onitsuka promoting these two singles are evident by their tracklists; "Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e" featured "[[Gekkou]]" performed live from her ''[[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'' DVD (which had been released five months earlier) and "Watashi to Waltz wo" featured a song cut from her third album, ''Sugar High''. Despite this, Onitsuka performed many concerts during this time before falling ill and canceling two concerts.<br />
<br />
Two new releases would then be able to be pre-ordered on online shopping sites, to be both released on 2004.03.17. The first was Onitsuka's fourth album (TOCT-25310) and Onitsuka's third PV clip DVD (TOBF-5300). However, soon both these items would be removed from pre-order permanently. Soon, a new item would replace these two at online shopping sites: a 7,000円 ''[[Singles Box (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Singles BOX]]'' collection. Furthermore, a note would appear at Onitsuka's official website that stated that it was not any intention of Onitsuka herself's to release this. This conflict with her record company is said to be the cause of the succeeding split from [[Toshiba EMI]], and later [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Sodatsuprom.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting [[Sodatsu Zassou]] (2004)]]<br />
<br />
In June 2004, Onitsuka was then signed under [[Sony]]'s music management team, and later in July it was revealed that Onitsuka would be releasing music through the [[Universal]] music company. After a new single, "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]", was announced, Onitsuka would appear as a surprise guest at the televised [[Space Shower TV]] event ''Sweet Love Shower 2004''. There, she would cover the grunge anthem [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smells_Like_Teen_Spirit Smells Like Teen Spirit] originally sung by [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(band) Nirvana] and also [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police The Police]'s song [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Pain King of Pain]. Both of these songs were sung in re-arranged, orchestral versions. Onstage, Onitsuka would be adorned with such things as heavy make-up and a more array of clothes. Following this appearance, she would launch into her new single, the heavy rock song "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]". Onitsuka was to follow this with an appearance on the music show ''[[Bokura no Ongaku]]'' on 2004.10.30, but however cancelled this due to poor health. When the "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]" single was released it reached to #10 position, despite there being very little promotion for the song at all (including the fact that the song has no PV). Toshiba EMI would, in turn, release a two-set Onitsuka Chihiro [[The Ultimate Collection|best album]] as well as a [[The Complete Clips|complete PV collection]] in December.<br />
<br />
From now on, there would be little news of Onitsuka as she continued her hiatus. However, there were three notable events that occurred during this time:<br />
<br />
* On 2005.01.31, Sony Music terminated its management contract with Onitsuka Chihiro. Reputedly this was a compromise met to do with the management of copyright when [[iTunes|iTunes]] opens in Japan (as Sony Music has its own music store)<br />
* On 2005.07.26, Onitsuka was confronted with a stalker who was apprehended after he stood outside of Onitsuka's residence for 30 minutes with a bouquet.<br />
* On 2005.09.06, Toshiba-EMI would release their second consecutive best album from Onitsuka, called [[Singles 2000-2003|SINGLES 2000-2003]]. The album features all A-side songs during her stay at the Toshiba EMI record company, as well as three bonus songs: a 'summer radio mix' of "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]", the original version of "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" featured in the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter] and the [[Mamotte Agetai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|cover]] of [[Matsutoya Yumi]]'s "[[Mamotte Agetai|Mamotte Agetai]]" that Onitsuka sung for the tribute album ''[[Queen's Fellows: Yuming 30th Anniversary Cover Album|Queen's Fellows: yuming 30th anniversary cover album]]''. The limited edition of this album also featured footage from The Unplugged Show, including the version of "[[Beautiful Fighter]]" that was to be featured on Onitsuka's third PV clip collection before its cancel.<br />
<br />
===Return to the Music Scene===<br />
[[Image:chievery.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[everyhome]]" (2007)]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In September 2006, reports that Onitsuka had sung at a preview of the movie ''[[Monshen|Monshen]]'' had surfaced. Later in the month, detailed information including photos. The event took place on the 10th of September, where Onitsuka would sing a duet with [[Tamai Yuumi|Tamai Yuumi]] ([[seiyuu]] for the character Lin in ''[[Spirited Away|Spirited Away]]'') on her band [[Psalm|Psalm]]'s song "[[Umi no Uta|Umi no Uta]]" (うみの唄; ''Song of the Sea'').<br />
<br />
In the March '07 edition of the magazine [[ROCKIN'ON JAPAN|ROCKIN'ON JAPAN]], it was revealed that Onitsuka Chihiro would return to the music scene full-time. Her songs were produced by [[Kobayashi Takeshi|Kobayashi Takeshi]] (producer of [[Hitoto Yo]], [[Mr. Children]], [[Salyu]], etc). Three songs were mentioned in the article, namedly "[[Angelina (song)|Angelina]]"", [[Now|NOW]]" and "[[everyhome]]". Further information was released by the [[Hochi Yomiuri|Hochi Yomiuri]]: according to her record label (she is still with Universal) Onitsuka had written roughly 10 new songs, and had been recording since spring 2006. "[[everyhome]]" was released as her return single in the summer, which received moderate success. Onitsuka's second 2007 single, "[[Bokura Barairo no Hibi]]" (September release), features "[[Now|NOW]]" as its B-side. This single was followed by the album ''[[Las Vegas|LAS VEGAS]]'' in October, which hit #6 on the weekly Oricon Charts. <br />
<br />
Onitsuka took another short leave and returned in October of the next year to release "[[Hotaru]]" (蛍), the first of a steady flow of singles. It reached a strong #11 on the weekly Oricon charts. She also released ''[[Nine Dirts and Snow White Flickers|NINE DIRTS AND SNOW WHITE FLICKERS]]'', her 3rd live DVD. In May of the next year she released "[[X / Last Melody]]", a double A-side single with the former song being an edgy rock song with slightly distorted vocals, something new for Onitsuka. The single also reached #11 on the Weekly charts. In July she released "[[Kaerimichi wo Nakushite]]" (帰り路をなくして), another string-ladden ballad, which reached #13 on the charts. Shortly After, "[[Kagerou (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Kagerou]]" (陽炎) was released early September. Her 5th studio album, ''[[Dorothy|DOROTHY]]'', was released October 28, 2009, peaking at #10 on the Weekly Oricon charts. ''[[Hard Red Fantasia|HARD RED FANTASIA]]'', Onitsuka's next PV clip DVD was to be released on the same day, but was cancelled. On April 28, 2010, ''[[One of Pillars ~Best of Chihiro Onitsuka 2000-2010~|ONE OF PILLARS ~BEST OF CHIHIRO ONITSUKA 2000-2010]]'' was announced, which was the first best-of album approved by Onitsuka herself. ''HARD RED FANTASIA'' was also re-announced, set for a June 30, 3010 date. ''ONE OF PILLARS'' peaked at #13 on the Oricon charts, and with little promotion and only one new song, showed the lowest sales of Onitsuka's career. A collaboration with [[SoulJa]] was released on June 16, 2010, "[[Gekkou ~God's Child~|Gekkou ~GOD'S CHILD~]]".<br />
<br />
===Assault and FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT===<br />
<br />
On September 9, 2010 it was officially announced that Onitsuka had been assaulted a month prior in her apartment by her new boyfriend, [[Yusuke Komiya]]. Komiya had a history of violence, and was reportedly intoxicated during the incident which happened on August 18, 2010. By the end of September, he was found and arrested. His trial began December 16, 2010, and he was later sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment. Onitsuka suffered injuries to her face and broken ribs, but despite this was reported to be finishing up her next album. On February 28, 2011 it was announced that her contract with [[Universal Music]] had ended, and Onitsuka was now signed under [[For Life Music Entertainment|FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT]]. Her next single and album were also announced, "[[Aoi Tori (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Aoi Tori]]" and ''[[Ken to Kaede]]'' respectively. In addition, a 25-page interview with [[Papyrus]] magazine was released in the month, and her first autobiographical book entitled "[[Tsuki no Hahen]]" would coincide with her album release. ''Ken to Kaede'' reached #16 on the weekly Oricon charts, with little promotion. Throughout May, Onitsuka's artwork was featured in and exhibition entitled "THE BUNNY AND THE PYTHON" at Sundaland Cafe in Shibuya. In October, another exhibition was held in the same location, this time called "WHOLE MONSTER PUNKS".<br />
<br />
At the end of November, Onitsuka started a three date tour titled ''[[Hotel Murderess of Arizona My Gun|HOTEL MURDERESS OF ARIZONA ACOUSTIC SHOW]]'', which was later released on March 14, 2012 on DVD. At that time, it was also announced that Onitsuka would be releasing her first cover album, ''[[Famous Microphone|FAMOUS MICROPHONE]]. It featured exclusively English songs, including some of her past covers sung during tours, and one original song. The album was released on May 30 2012.<br />

<br />
===Early Days - ''Insomnia''===<br />
Onitsuka, since her youth, had been influenced by Western singer-songwriter musicians. She would listen to many Western artists through the interest from her parents such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carpenters The Carpenters], though it was US songwriter [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_(singer) Jewel]'s music that inspired her to become a singer of her own. The first song Onitsuka wrote was "[[Call|call]]", which she wrote at 17 after being inspired by a play about AIDS. At the time, Onitsuka would write all of her songs in English; however by the time they were recorded the lyrics had been changed into Japanese. After reading an advertisement for a musical audition in ''[[De-view|De-view]]'' magazine, Onitsuka would perform "[[Call|call]]" there and would win the grand prix prize for the audition. This lead to Onitsuka being signed to the management team [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />
After graduating from senior high school in the spring of 1999, Onitsuka would travel to Tokyo to prepare for her debut (by taking voice lessons, etc). In the six months since Onitsuka first arrived at Tokyo, she had written over 60 songs (such as "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]", "[[Gekkou]]" and "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]"). In February 2000, Onitsuka would debut under [[Toshiba EMI]] with the single "[[Shine (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Shine]]". However, this single would not chart on the top 200 on Oricon charts.<br />
<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Infectprom.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]" (2001)]]<br />
<br />
After a period of six months, a new Onitsuka song was announced. The drama ''[[Trick (drama)|TRICK]]'' would start in July 2000, with "[[Gekkou]]" as its theme song. The single (which was released in the midst of the drama's run) met with prolonged success (a phenomenon not commonly seen in Japanese music charts which favors extreme first week sales). While in its first week it only reached a position of #30, it would later consistently sell over 20,000 copies for 12 weeks. The drama would run until mid-September, with its final episode showing Onitsuka herself making a cameo and performing "Gekkou" live on location in Okinawa. The single peaked at #11 in late September, and in total would sell approximately 600,000 copies in total.<br />
<br />
Onitsuka would follow up this single with a third in November, the variety show ''[[Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.|Shin-Unnan no Kibun wa Joujou.]]'''s ending theme song "[[Cage (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Cage]]". However, this single would not be as successful, reaching #15 and charting in the top 30 for two weeks. Her fourth single, "[[Memai / Edge|Memai / edge]]", was released on the anniversary of her debut single's release, and would be Onitsuka first single to break the top 10, at the 6th position. "[[Memai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Memai]]" from this single would go on to win the award for best lyrics at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.<br />
<br />
After these four singles, Onitsuka's debut album, ''[[Insomnia]]'', would be released. It debuted at #1 on Oricon charts (making this Onitsuka's only #1 product to date) and in total has sold approximately 1,400,000 copies. A song from the album, "[[Rasen (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Rasen]]", was later featured in the [[Hirosue Ryoko]]-starring internationally distributed film ''[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabi_(film) Wasabi]'' as an insert song.<br />
<br />
===''This Armor'' - ''Sugar High''===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Thisarmprom.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting ''[[This Armor]]'' (2002)]]<br />
<br />
Onitsuka's comeback single after the success of her first album was the September single "[[Infection / Little Beat Rifle|infection / LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]", with "[[Infection|infection]]" being used as the theme song to the dorama ''[[Hyouten 2001|Hyouten 2001]]''. The single suffered a sad fate, as the lyrics of "infection" could be seen to link to the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11,_2001_attacks September 11 Terrorism Attacks]. Because of this, [[Toshiba EMI]] decided to severely cut back the promotion of the song and only promoted the second A-side, "[[Little Beat Rifle|LITTLE BEAT RIFLE]]". Onitsuka's sixth single "[[Ryuuseigun]]" would once again be a drama theme song, for the second series of ''TRICK'' entitled ''[[Trick 2|TRICK 2]]''. This single would be quickly followed by Onitsuka's second studio album, ''[[This Armor]]''.<br />
<br />
On Novermber 5, 2002, Onitsuka would hold a large concert at the [[Nippon Budokan]], entitled'' [[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'', which included some songs that had not yet been released. IN December, only nine months after the release of ''This Armor'', Onitsuka would release her third original album, ''[[Sugar High]]''. The album, with no single releases was an album filled with a myriad of minor tie-ups (the most major of these being that the song "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" was used as the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]'s theme song). Unlike Onitsuka other's albums which had 5 or more PVs, this would only have one (for the song "[[King of Solitude|King of Solitude]]"). Despite these promotion short-comings, the album still managed to reach #2 on Oricon album charts.<br />

===End of Toshiba-EMI Days - Hiatus===<br />
[[Image:270px-Onitsuka_Signprom.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" (2003)]]<br />
<br />
Throughout 2003, Onitsuka Chihiro would release four singles. The first of which was the simply arranged "[[Sign (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Sign]]" in May, which was followed in August by a more rock-influenced upbeat track "[[Beautiful Fighter]]". However, in September Onitsuka would have to undergo emergency throat surgery and her following two singles saw a stripped back release. The first of these two, "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e]]" was a cover of the hit song "[[Ii Hi Tabidachi|Ii Hi Tabidachi]]" by [[Yamaguchi Momoe]] with modified lyrics. The song was featured in commercials for Japan Railway, much like the original before it. The second was the theme song to the third series of ''TRICK'', entitled ''[[Trick 3|TRICK 3]]'' (called "[[Watashi to Waltz wo]]"). The lack of Onitsuka promoting these two singles are evident by their tracklists; "Ii Hi Tabidachi Nishi e" featured "[[Gekkou]]" performed live from her ''[[Ultimate Crash '02 Live at Budokan|ULTIMATE CRASH '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN]]'' DVD (which had been released five months earlier) and "Watashi to Waltz wo" featured a song cut from her third album, ''Sugar High''. Despite this, Onitsuka performed many concerts during this time before falling ill and canceling two concerts.<br />
<br />
Two new releases would then be able to be pre-ordered on online shopping sites, to be both released on 2004.03.17. The first was Onitsuka's fourth album (TOCT-25310) and Onitsuka's third PV clip DVD (TOBF-5300). However, soon both these items would be removed from pre-order permanently. Soon, a new item would replace these two at online shopping sites: a 7,000円 ''[[Singles Box (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Singles BOX]]'' collection. Furthermore, a note would appear at Onitsuka's official website that stated that it was not any intention of Onitsuka herself's to release this. This conflict with her record company is said to be the cause of the succeeding split from [[Toshiba EMI]], and later [[MELODY STAR RECORDS|MELODY STAR RECORDS]].<br />
<br />

<br />
In June 2004, Onitsuka was then signed under [[Sony]]'s music management team, and later in July it was revealed that Onitsuka would be releasing music through the [[Universal]] music company. After a new single, "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]", was announced, Onitsuka would appear as a surprise guest at the televised [[Space Shower TV]] event ''Sweet Love Shower 2004''. There, she would cover the grunge anthem [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smells_Like_Teen_Spirit Smells Like Teen Spirit] originally sung by [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(band) Nirvana] and also [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police The Police]'s song [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Pain King of Pain]. Both of these songs were sung in re-arranged, orchestral versions. Onstage, Onitsuka would be adorned with such things as heavy make-up and a more array of clothes. Following this appearance, she would launch into her new single, the heavy rock song "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]". Onitsuka was to follow this with an appearance on the music show ''[[Bokura no Ongaku]]'' on 2004.10.30, but however cancelled this due to poor health. When the "[[Sodatsu Zassou]]" single was released it reached to #10 position, despite there being very little promotion for the song at all (including the fact that the song has no PV). Toshiba EMI would, in turn, release a two-set Onitsuka Chihiro [[The Ultimate Collection|best album]] as well as a [[The Complete Clips|complete PV collection]] in December.<br />
<br />
From now on, there would be little news of Onitsuka as she continued her hiatus. However, there were three notable events that occurred during this time:<br />
<br />
* On 2005.01.31, Sony Music terminated its management contract with Onitsuka Chihiro. Reputedly this was a compromise met to do with the management of copyright when [[iTunes|iTunes]] opens in Japan (as Sony Music has its own music store)<br />
* On 2005.07.26, Onitsuka was confronted with a stalker who was apprehended after he stood outside of Onitsuka's residence for 30 minutes with a bouquet.<br />
* On 2005.09.06, Toshiba-EMI would release their second consecutive best album from Onitsuka, called [[Singles 2000-2003|SINGLES 2000-2003]]. The album features all A-side songs during her stay at the Toshiba EMI record company, as well as three bonus songs: a 'summer radio mix' of "[[We Can Go|We Can Go]]", the original version of "[[Castle Imitation|Castle・imitation]]" featured in the game [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire:_Dragon_Quarter Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter] and the [[Mamotte Agetai (Onitsuka Chihiro)|cover]] of [[Matsutoya Yumi]]'s "[[Mamotte Agetai|Mamotte Agetai]]" that Onitsuka sung for the tribute album ''[[Queen's Fellows: Yuming 30th Anniversary Cover Album|Queen's Fellows: yuming 30th anniversary cover album]]''. The limited edition of this album also featured footage from The Unplugged Show, including the version of "[[Beautiful Fighter]]" that was to be featured on Onitsuka's third PV clip collection before its cancel.<br />
<br />
===Return to the Music Scene===<br />
[[Image:chievery.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Onitsuka Chihiro promoting "[[everyhome]]" (2007)]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In September 2006, reports that Onitsuka had sung at a preview of the movie ''[[Monshen|Monshen]]'' had surfaced. Later in the month, detailed information including photos. The event took place on the 10th of September, where Onitsuka would sing a duet with [[Tamai Yuumi|Tamai Yuumi]] ([[seiyuu]] for the character Lin in ''[[Spirited Away|Spirited Away]]'') on her band [[Psalm|Psalm]]'s song "[[Umi no Uta|Umi no Uta]]" (うみの唄; ''Song of the Sea'').<br />
<br />
In the March '07 edition of the magazine [[ROCKIN'ON JAPAN|ROCKIN'ON JAPAN]], it was revealed that Onitsuka Chihiro would return to the music scene full-time. Her songs were produced by [[Kobayashi Takeshi|Kobayashi Takeshi]] (producer of [[Hitoto Yo]], [[Mr. Children]], [[Salyu]], etc). Three songs were mentioned in the article, namedly "[[Angelina (song)|Angelina]]"", [[Now|NOW]]" and "[[everyhome]]". Further information was released by the [[Hochi Yomiuri|Hochi Yomiuri]]: according to her record label (she is still with Universal) Onitsuka had written roughly 10 new songs, and had been recording since spring 2006. "[[everyhome]]" was released as her return single in the summer, which received moderate success. Onitsuka's second 2007 single, "[[Bokura Barairo no Hibi]]" (September release), features "[[Now|NOW]]" as its B-side. This single was followed by the album ''[[Las Vegas|LAS VEGAS]]'' in October, which hit #6 on the weekly Oricon Charts. <br />
<br />
Onitsuka took another short leave and returned in October of the next year to release "[[Hotaru]]" (蛍), the first of a steady flow of singles. It reached a strong #11 on the weekly Oricon charts. She also released ''[[Nine Dirts and Snow White Flickers|NINE DIRTS AND SNOW WHITE FLICKERS]]'', her 3rd live DVD. In May of the next year she released "[[X / Last Melody]]", a double A-side single with the former song being an edgy rock song with slightly distorted vocals, something new for Onitsuka. The single also reached #11 on the Weekly charts. In July she released "[[Kaerimichi wo Nakushite]]" (帰り路をなくして), another string-ladden ballad, which reached #13 on the charts. Shortly After, "[[Kagerou (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Kagerou]]" (陽炎) was released early September. Her 5th studio album, ''[[Dorothy|DOROTHY]]'', was released October 28, 2009, peaking at #10 on the Weekly Oricon charts. ''[[Hard Red Fantasia|HARD RED FANTASIA]]'', Onitsuka's next PV clip DVD was to be released on the same day, but was cancelled. On April 28, 2010, ''[[One of Pillars ~Best of Chihiro Onitsuka 2000-2010~|ONE OF PILLARS ~BEST OF CHIHIRO ONITSUKA 2000-2010]]'' was announced, which was the first best-of album approved by Onitsuka herself. ''HARD RED FANTASIA'' was also re-announced, set for a June 30, 3010 date. ''ONE OF PILLARS'' peaked at #13 on the Oricon charts, and with little promotion and only one new song, showed the lowest sales of Onitsuka's career. A collaboration with [[SoulJa]] was released on June 16, 2010, "[[Gekkou ~God's Child~|Gekkou ~GOD'S CHILD~]]".<br />
<br />
===Assault and FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT===<br />
<br />
On September 9, 2010 it was officially announced that Onitsuka had been assaulted a month prior in her apartment by her new boyfriend, [[Yusuke Komiya]]. Komiya had a history of violence, and was reportedly intoxicated during the incident which happened on August 18, 2010. By the end of September, he was found and arrested. His trial began December 16, 2010, and he was later sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment. Onitsuka suffered injuries to her face and broken ribs, but despite this was reported to be finishing up her next album. On February 28, 2011 it was announced that her contract with [[Universal Music]] had ended, and Onitsuka was now signed under [[For Life Music Entertainment|FOR LIFE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT]]. Her next single and album were also announced, "[[Aoi Tori (Onitsuka Chihiro)|Aoi Tori]]" and ''[[Ken to Kaede]]'' respectively. In addition, a 25-page interview with [[Papyrus]] magazine was released in the month, and her first autobiographical book entitled "[[Tsuki no Hahen]]" would coincide with her album release. ''Ken to Kaede'' reached #16 on the weekly Oricon charts, with little promotion. Throughout May, Onitsuka's artwork was featured in and exhibition entitled "THE BUNNY AND THE PYTHON" at Sundaland Cafe in Shibuya. In October, another exhibition was held in the same location, this time called "WHOLE MONSTER PUNKS".<br />
<br />
At the end of November, Onitsuka started a three date tour titled ''[[Hotel Murderess of Arizona My Gun|HOTEL MURDERESS OF ARIZONA ACOUSTIC SHOW]]'', which was later released on March 14, 2012 on DVD. <br />
<br />
