What does she mean by indies? Like that's the type of music it is gonna be?


Edit: New tour has been announced for November. More info: http://eplus.jp/hitomi-a2s/

[prussian blue]

I think she means indies labels. Which is not produced by avex

I really doubt the direction she made, I'm crossing my finger for this album

[hsienko]

^
These single are all over the place musically. I just hope that the album isn't full of children and children appreciation songs ala Thxmybaby.

[Beauty4123]

so hitomi isn't on her LOVE LIFE label at axex anymore?

but at least she's going on tour.

[prussian blue]

The description said the producer has made songs for the top divas in the world, I havent worry about those children song will be stuff inside to be honest

[hsienko]

I just don't want another Thxmybaby . If you're not a mom or have a child I thinks hard to relate to.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe they've done away with LOVE LIFE and she's moved back to regular avex; I don't remember seeing any mention of LOVE LIFE records on that last single.

Edit: I don't see any mention of Love Life records on her website either.

[Fitst]

The last single still has the LL logo on it. So does her site. I doubt Avex would have gotten rid of LL Records. I'm thinking she means the new album is more of the indy genre

[hsienko]

I was really confused by her comment. I like indie music so hopefully this will turn out well. I'm surprised there isn't more news about this album considering its coming out in a few weeks.

[prussian blue]

The song title still scares me, since they sound like RnB/hip hop stuff, but I'm just guessing.

I have a feeling this will be another side of hitomi that we never seen before. I can only cross my finger this time, and hopefully she will officially announce it ASAP

[hsienko]

I don't think that tracklisting is real, I've only seen it on that website and not anywhere else.

[prussian blue]

２７日発売だよん♪RT @yuzukong @hanehitomi ４月に出るって言ってたアルバムっていつ発売ですか？ライブチケット取れたのにアルバムの発売日がわかりま せん(>_<)

it's going to be released in 27th!

居場所を動かすことで、何か変わるかもしれないから。RT @gimick1111 @hanehitomi 今回のアルバムはエイベックスからの発売じゃなくインディーズから出すのは何故ですか？？

she said something about why this album is going to be indies (which is not produced by avex) but I dont understand what she means but I guess "Maybe from moving my place, I might get something different"

[hsienko]

I think she means that for this album and she constructed the album from scratch by herself using people she personally picked and didn't work with any producers or composers etc. connected to avex.

[Beauty4123]

i'm glad hitomi has confirmed the release date on her twitter, but avex seriously needs to stop being lazy & update hitomi's website! we need some confirmed info, lol.

btw hsienko, your set is awesome! i love the SUPER STAR PV!

[hsienko]

Thanks!

We need more info, like a tracklisting, an album cover, and track previews. If this was Kumi all this stuff would already be out there.

[Bigtop]

It seems that she's trying different - going to produce outside of Avex control...

From what I've understand, hitomi has had a lot of creative control for a long time. Since like Someday I think is when she start taking more control.

[prussian blue]

according to her blog, she said this is going to be an "attacking" album, and all the song writers are not from Japan even though she doenst speak English.

She name this album SPIRIT, but has a nickname as "BIBIN" (What does bibin mean?)

[hsienko]

So it's gonna sorta be like Love Life, except the music is written by westerners instead of just being inspired by it. And from what my google search yielded Bibin means inspirational.
