Profile

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". As a child, she was influenced by her father's music, which included artists such as Eric Clapton and the Beatles.

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 her 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.

sympathy era

Takahashi auditioned for the Sony Music SD Auditions in 2004. 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. The single was released in April 2005, and debuted on the Oricon Charts at #1. This made her the second solo female artist to have a debut single achieve #1, and the third artist to achieve this.
