hitomi promoting huma-rhythm (2002)Like many Japanese artists, hitomi was first produced by Komuro Tetsuya, one of the top Japanese producers of the 1990s. Komuro scouted her at a modeling audition, and produced hitomi until he encouraged her to do her own songwriting. This was first shown in her album thermo plastic, released in 1999. The album reached #2 on the Oricon.
The spirit of her sexuality is evident in many of her single and album covers, and even titles of her albums. The title of her single compilation h may be seen as just the first letter of her name, but it also a euphemism for sex, as the Japanese pronunciation of the letter is "etchi" or ecchi.
