Hitomi Furuya (古谷 仁美, Furuya Hitomi, born January 26, 1976), known mononymously as hitomi, is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She began her career as model, but after meeting Tetsuya Komuro he began managing her career as a pop singer. In 1998 she left the "Komuro Family" and started working with other musicians and producers, oriented to other musical genres such as pop rock, and more recently to electropop.
Born Hitomi Furuya (古谷 仁美, Furuya Hitomi) in Tochigi, Japan, Hitomi's family relocated to Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture when she was a child. Consequently, Hitomi always identified herself as a girl from Kanagawa. hitomi was an enthusiastic athlete throughout her childhood, playing baseball, soccer, and basketball, as well as an avid reader of manga. When hitomi was 16 years old, she was spotted and approached by a scout from a modelling agency. Hitomi signed a short modelling contract and began appearing in magazines while she was still in high school.
In 1993, then 17 years old, Furuya was spotted by eminent Avex music producer Tetsuya Komuro at an audition. Komuro signed Furuya to Avex, put Furuya through vocal training, and decided that she should use an all-lowercase 'hitomi' as her stage name. The following year, in November 1994, hitomi released her debut single, "Let's Play Winter", through Avex Trax, to which she wrote the lyrics. Since then, Hitomi has been the lyricist for almost all of her songs.
The Avalanche (styled The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album on the cover) is a 2006 album by indie rock singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens, consisting of outtakes and other recordings from the sessions for his album Illinois, released the previous year. The title song "The Avalanche" was also a bonus track on the Illinois vinyl and iTunes release.
A press release on the Asthmatic Kitty website reported that the Illinois album was supposed to be a double record (with somewhere near 50 songs), but the idea was eventually scrapped. After the success of the album, Stevens returned to his analog 8-track recorder in late 2005 and began the process of finishing 21 of the previously abandoned songs, which would eventually become The Avalanche.
Stevens has stated during interviews that although he doesn't like The Avalanche as much as Illinois, he felt it was important to release the songs in light of the success of his most recent album. He has also said that he decided to release the album in order to buy time until his next "The 50 States" project," release. The album cover jokingly makes reference to the partially commercial reasons for the album's release, declaring that its contents were "shamelessly compiled by Sufjan Stevens".
The Avalanche (Czech: Lavina) is a 1946 Czechoslovak crime film, directed by Miroslav Cikán. It stars Otomar Korbelár, Marie Glázrová, Helena Busová.
At the bottom of a swimming pool
I think I found a clue
I know
That I'm getting closer
I'm looking for fingerprints
Some sort of documents
To find the only one who made it all the way from the sun
She's gone away
She's gone away
I need to hear her say
The world doesn't mean as much as you do
I can learn the truth
You see him everyday
You wish that he was me
You try to find a way to bring yourself to it
She's gone away
She's gone away
I need to hear her say
The world doesn't mean as much as you do
No one means as much as you do
Hey[x11]
She's dead and gone away
Hey[x11]
She's dead and gone away
She's gone away
She's gone away
I need to hear her say
The world doesn't mean as much as you do
No one means as much as you do
Hey[x3]
She's dead and gone away
Hey[x3]
She's dead and gone away
At the bottom of a swimming pool
I think I found a clue
I know (I know) I know (I know)
That I'm getting closer
And you see him everyday
You wish that he was me
