| Profile � Birthday: September 4, 1980 � Birthplace: Gureshi, Hiroshima Prefecture � Height: 161 cm � Label: avex trax Bio In 1997, Hitomi was chosen out of around 200 other girls at a Japan music audition hosted by music label Avex Trax. Hitomi was casted and received a contract. In 1999, after finishing school Hitomi released her first single called "?saka no onna", an enka-styled song (songs for old people).
