Sparkling Voice

A Start-up Himeka fan blog. Disclamier: this site is run by A Himeka fan gathering gems for other Himeka fans. Sparkling voice... well, that's the first thing that pops in my mind about her. The power, depth and clarity of her voice makes her stand out like a diamond in a sea of stones. Site Update: Aug 10, 2016

just saw someone post this on twitter, and though i had to post it bcuz, its the photo used while 5114 was playing in the Panoram A Leaf PV.

Himeka tweeted that the song 5114 is about a girl who is celebrating her 14th birthday or exactly 5114 days since she was born/alive and she is looking optimistic about her future.

果てなき道 [Hatenaki Michi] is the 6th track in the limited/5th in regular edition of HIMEKANVAS. when it's MV was released 2009. i remembered falling in love with it. like absolutely adored the MV and remains my favorite MV that she released. Love the visuals and the coloring/filters just google/yt the MV, you'll see how gorgeous it is.

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa nai PS3/PS Vita Opening "PRECIOUS" by HIMEKA

HIMEKA has improved a lot since Hatenaki Michi. She hasn’t been very active for a while, and when this opening was first released my jaw fell to the ground because she sounded so lovely.

Once again, super simple effects. But I wanted to use this kind of snow effect at least once in my life, and since it’s OreTsuba, and it’s the Christmas season, I figured why not now.

PS: Just realised I forgot my watermark… Oh well. >__>”

Look at what Santa got for me this Christmas, a new HlMEKA track/song! 5114 music and arrangement by Nagareuta,  lyrics : RUCCA singer: HIMEKA. you can check more information about it by checking the project's official page> http://www.pixelbee.jp/leaf/#pageor checking out a longer sample of 5114 at this page> http://www.pixelbee.jp/leaf/#page/slide4

Based on online info, this track/ cd album is packaged together with Panoram A Leaf comic(created/illustration by Pixelbee and Kumichi Yoshizuki ) available only at  this coming 87th Comiket (Comic Market)  (2014/12/30) price at 1,500 yen / shop 1,700 yen.  

Music wise...HIMEKA sounds soo cute and sweeter than her previous works, and i would admit that it feels like she brought/channeled her best Maaya Sakamoto impression for this song (Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery), and pretty sure she is a Maaya Sakamoto fanboy (remember her releasing her Escaflowne covers) the sample cut does remind you/same feel as a bit of  Maaya's optimistic tracks and style reminds you of her cutesy more of My Melody and Sailor Moon covers that are floating around the net.

蜩- [ HIGURASHI ]  is the 5th track in the limited edition/4th track on regular edition of HIMEKANVAS. Mellow and Finesse are the words i would used to describe this song. it continued that nostalgic 90's anison vibe that no newcomer [that i know of right now] can pull it off. Surprised that no one grab this song as their ending theme cuz it sounds so good and it fits that slot so well, just flabbergasted that everyone missed this track. wanted to see/hear live of all HIMEKA tracks but this one is one of the top tracks i wanted to see/hear HIMEKA perform it live and actually disappointed in Sony for not taking advantage of doing a live dvd with the Himekanvas concert cuz i would bought that (****!)

クロスロード [ Crossroad ] is the 4th track in the limited edition/3rd track on regular edition of HIMEKANVAS.  a breezy light song that tugs your 90's nostalgic heartstrings. maybe i miss the anison 90's sounds so much and HIMEKA brings that nostalgic sound back.

1000の想い [1000 no Omoi] is the 3rd track in the limited edition/2nd track on regular edition of HIMEKANVAS. One of the new songs/tracks in the album, so happy to hear new material from HIMEKA.  As a fan you feel happy for her as one of her dreams come true plus a career milestone with the release of this album. 1000 no Omoi is one of the more upbeat/exciting tracks to listen, and you see HIMEKA excel in performing these kind of dance-centric tracks.

明日へのキズナ [Asu e no Kizuna] is the first track in the regular version of HIMEKANVAS/ 2nd track in the Limited edition of HIMEKANVAS. As the first/debut single from HIMEKA, its really shows/highlights HIMEKA’s potential as a anison singer. Also being paired with Valkyria Chronicles (great game) it just bring “epic”-ness to the anime.

Also, as the most used single in her repertoire of songs, it is also her mirror, reflects her own personal struggles. you get to know more of her intimately via live performances as she genuinely doesn’t hold back when doing live perf.

As for the live performances of this single, i can honestly say that there are no live performances of this single that looked alike. Every time she performs it, she brings in new elements, energy into this song. Her recent live performance can clearly attest to it.

Adesso e Fortuna is the first track that comes out of the Limited edition of HIMEKANVAS. I LOVE its sensual, almost seductive vibes before it sweeps into bringing down the big guns, nearing into epic-ness proportion before it soothes you down again. there is a live version/performance of this song (google it) and i’ll say you have to see/hear it live, cuz that one is epic.
