hitomi to digitally release first live album 'Re:CONNECT', the culmination of her 30th anniversary
hitomi's live album, 'Re:CONNECT', will be digitally released on December 24.
'Re:CONNECT' features the audio from hitomi's first-ever online concert, which was held as the culmination of her 30th anniversary. In addition to her signature hits and rare songs, it also includes "Taion" and "there is...," for which the lyrics were newly rewritten by Kaori Mochida (Every Little Thing) and Tomiko Van (Do As Infinity). This marks the first time she has released a live album.
Additionally, the special website "30th Anniversary PHOTO MUSEUM," which commemorated hitomi's 30th anniversary by curating various photos by era, including some never-before-seen shots, was recently completed. The site opened last November when she celebrated her 30th anniversary, and throughout the anniversary year, it featured approximately 400 photos and videos. The final uploads were visuals from her 1st album "GO TO THE TOP," visuals from her biggest hit album "by myself," and the television commercial from the time of her album "LOVE LIFE," which included her hit song "LOVE 2000." Upon the completion of the site, hitomi commented, "I want to take the steps I've taken so far to heart and step forward into the future again. Please continue to support hitomi and hitomi's music."
hitomi will perform a concert, "hitomi Live 2026 - STAND BY," on March 28 at Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE in Tokyo.
