Put on your dancing shoes

Shimatani Hitomi was almost entirely new to me; before buying this collection, I had heard only the first track from the "Cover Best" disc. This, however, is such a generous compilation, offering 26 songs and a DVD of 17 videos, that I figured I would take a chance. And I'm glad I did. Miss Shimatani has a strong, clear voice and seems comfortable singing in a variety of styles. The sixteen song Original Best disc features lots of catchy, infectious dance tracks. Indeed, it actually overdoes the dance tracks. Of the sixteen songs, fourteen of them are uptempo numbers and, after a while, all those whomping dance beats become quite numbing. I recommend that this disc be played just a few songs at a time for optimal appreciation. The two ballads on this disc are terrific; they left me longing for more of them. Many of the ten tracks on the Cover Best disc will be familiar to even casual fans of J-Pop. I love this disc! With its great diversity of rhythms, tempos, and arrangements, it really shows off Miss Shimatani's vocal chops. She makes these cover versions just different enough from the originals to make for fascinating listening. The DVD contains 17 tracks, including all of the songs from the Original Best disc and the cover of the Kiroro song. I really appreciated this DVD -- not just because Miss Shimatani is easy on the eyes, but because watching these videos really helped me to distinguish among all of those dance tracks from the Original best disc. All in all, this is a sweet package at a nice price for all J-Pop otaku. |

The second phase of Hitomi's career
| First of all, the first disc is absolutely a must have because it includes her best songs ever to me (''Viola'', ''Garnet Moon'', ''Mermaid'', ''Falco'', ''Destiny'' and ''Shinku'') and second I didn't expect the cover album being that good, excluding her well known tracks ''Amairo'', ''Papillon'' and ''Genki wo Dashite'' and the super hit from Kiroro ''Nagai Aida'', I never listened before to the other songs and they are very nice. |
