[ストロボ・EdGE]

SoulJa needs to go give up on his "career" and leave masterpieces alone.

What exactly happened to her///

from wiki:

2004-2006: "Sodatsu Zassou" and two-year hiatus

By May 2004, Onitsuka left EMI and signed on as an artist under Universal Music, and given a lot more freedom in her work. She released one single, "Sodatsu Zassou (育つ雑草)," which was a major change from her folk-pop style into rock. Prior to the release, she held a concert in which she performed the song and a Nirvana cover. Contrary to popular belief, she did not announce a hiatus at this time; no hiatus was announced and the subsequent lack of release from her had been a great mystery to her fans, who eagerly anticipated the next release and hoped that one would indeed be forthcoming.[citation needed] At one point she said that the reason for her departure from the music scene was because of mental fatigue caused by the series of new releases and tight schedules.[citation needed] However in an interview printed in the October 19, 2007, issue of the Japanese popular music magazine Barfout (http://barfout.jp/), done while promoting the album Las Vegas, Onitsuka said that in 2004 she had attempted suicide by overdosing on medication (French report: http://www.mimu-net.net/news.php?pge=8&newsid=1304 - Japanese Wikipedia site has full Japanese sourcing). In addition, Onitsuka mentioned a polyp on her vocal cords around that time, as well as an eating disorder that saw her weight drop as low as 79 pounds (36 kilograms).

Maybe because of the impact of all that she's been through in the past years she's a bit different, which I'm sure you'd at least agree to that.

[PEARL]

i kind of like the PV..artistic looking.

[prussian blue]

I've noticed her past album has good track of album track, but now, only the singles sounds good to me, the other are meh

[Yoake]

I didn't care about that but now you say it I agree with you.

[2Hurt]

I have to agree on that, I only like Chihiro's singles, but then I seriously love them, but as for the latest albums, I can't really care about those...

[kakumei]

[2Hurt]

Wow I actually quite like this cover.. I think it's cool..

[Crystal_Ageha]

Whoa! Intense! I wouldn't have known that was Chihiro if it didn't say. :O I like it, though. The hair is freakin' amazing.

Yes.. she's a bit different.. what don't means worse.
So.. I like her older stuff.. and the newer also.

By the way.. I don't like the Pic from that DVD Hard Red Fantasia..... it don'T fits to Chihiro.. and don't really looks like her.
Is it a new DVD???

[2Hurt]

^ Yep it's a DVD with MV's since her last album only had a CD only version

[prussian blue]

^just a collection of her PVs

I think she looks fierce! omg <3 The pose remind me of ayu's RnRC photobook where she wears the military outfit.

Such a major change of chihiro's image since her debut i'm so proud of you

Oh yes, I mentioned her album because it's not all her pvs and it's in the same theme as her album but yeah it's just a second PV collection ^-^

[Yoake]

Does she try togive her a new image with that pic?
It's really different from what she made before.
I don't really like her expression on it.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Woah that's a fierce cover!

I've been listening to Hotaru some more in an attempt to force myself to like her newer music (isn't wanting to like something annoying? ), and I do like it (Hotaru and some other songs), but I still don't think it's as good as her work from 00-03 but considering everything she's been through, I still love her and I hope she can continue making music.
