Mind showing us this online contest? I'm interested to see it now that you are mentioning how she ranked so well! And I agree with your comment. This single really deserved to sell so much better but I sometimes end up feeling doubtful about Japan's taste in good music. Hey Tom. Mind showing us this online contest?

And it's not just me. I sent this into an online song contest and it beat off competition from about 40 other countries, including Christina Aguilera and Helena Paparizou for the number one favourite song. So it truly does have a crossover appeal! Destiny -Taiyou no Hana- is simply mindblowing. I am in awe every time I listen to it. And Koimizu -Tears of Love- is just totally beautiful. If great taste was reflected in sales this would have been the number one selling single in Japan for 2006. How I simply adore these two songs… And it’s not just me.

Both songs are good especially Destiny -Taiyo no Hana. I always think that Hitomi Shimatani is a bit too soft for me but she does have a very good voice. Thanks for sharing.

This single was melancholic, in a good way. I definitely like Tears of Love, the video was great. I can't really say anything except pure admiration so i won't go on any further.

These two songs were the first Shimatani Hitomi songs I've heard, and I am majorly impressed. The strings in Destiny -Taiyou no Hana- are just mindblowing because they complement her vocals excellently. Koimizu -Tears of Love- is a very nice and soothing ballad, and really shows that angelic voice of hers. When the end of the year comes, I won't be suprised if this is my favourite non-Otsuka Ai single of 2006. I could not agree more.
