Remember HIMEKA? She’s a French-Canadian singer who’s making it big in Japan. Sony Music Entertainment Japan has announced that her first full-length album will be released in March of this year (a cover album, apparently), so we thought it’d be a good time to look at her two singles thus far: Asue no Kizuna (Bonds of Tomorrow) and Hatenaki Michi (Endless Road).
Each single has an additional B-side, making for 4 tracks totaling close to 20 minutes of music. Despite the sparse selection of tracks, HIMEKA has already displayed a lot of versatility, venturing into rock and love ballads, and all in pretty convincing Japanese. And I must mention that “Asue no Kizuna” is the theme song for the Valkyria Chronicles anime.
Read on for our reviews of HIMEKA’s first two singles. (more…)
