Item description
Self Portrait is the 2nd Best Of Album by Hitomi
Vinnk's Take: Self Portrait is a very unique "Best of" album. The first disc is the usual best of with the greatest hits from albums Thermo Plastic, Love Life and huma-rhythm. The 2nd disc is re-recordings of tracks from her first 3 albums (Go to the Top, Déjà-vu and By Myself) These newly recorded tracks highlight her evolving style. One track even has her singing a duet with her past voice. There are also two new songs for the album, "Vibes" and "Understanding" and a new live vesion of Flow", which make the album worth owning even if you already have all of her other albums. And if you are new to this artist this is a career spanning album worth getting.

This CD has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual CD I am selling. Audio CDs from Japan have no region coding so they will play in any standard player.
CDs will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, I ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
