In 2002, she entered junior-high school. Once entering middle school, Hitomi joined the school softball team and expressed an interest in becoming an artist's backup dancer. So, every morning she would practice dancing before she went to Kendo (Japanese sword fighting) practice. (She obtained the first level degree in Kendo). Every night after school Hitomi and her friends would gather together and street dance.
In the year of 2003, while she was at dance practice, Hitomi was encouraged to try to sing at a local popularity event. Hitomi disliked singing karaoke in front of such a large crowd, but her friends greatly encouraged her to sing, and from that time on the desire to become a singer awoke in her.
During her second year in junior-high school, in the middle of the summer of 2003, Hitomi applied for the Sony Music Auditions. For the auditions, she recorded the rock song "Ukifune" by the band GO!GO!7188, but because the deadline was drawing near, she sent in the tape without listening to it. Also, because a change of interest, Hitomi moved from singing dance music to singing rock music.
In 2004, Hitomi was selected as finalist for the Sony Music SD audition (Vo-che3), from around 20,000 others. She was worried that because of her height (147 cm), she would be overlooked, but her powerful voice attracted the attention of people as she sang live.
At the end of 2004, She was chosen to sing the theme song for "Gundam SEED DESTINY" and recording began at the end of the year.
In 2005, she was in the middle of high school entrance exams as the title for her 1st single "Bokutachi no Yukue" was announced.
When the 30 second preview of the song started airing on the Gundam SEED DESTINY website, traffic increased so much that access to the site became unavailable for a short time.
Hitomi soon entered senior high school, and started her first radio personality on Date fm (FM Sendai) called "Takahashi Hitomi ~Sound D・N・A~".
On April 13, 2005 Hitomi released her debut single "Bokutachi no Yukue." For its first week on the charts, the single was #1; she was the 2nd female to have had a debut single reach #1 and the third solo artist to have a debut single reach #1. The single ended up selling well over 100,000 copies.
On August 12, 2005 Hitomi released her 2nd single "evergreen." It placed #22 for its first week on the charts, and has sold a little less than 30,000 copies.
Later on in the year, rumors started to spread that Hitomi would be releasing her 3rd single on October 12, 2005, and that it would be the theme song for the anime BLOOD+. Her official site never confirmed this rumor, but did confirm that she would be singing the theme song for the new anime BLOOD+.
Not too long after the rumors, Hitomi's site updated with news revealing that her 3rd single would be titled "Aozora no NAMIDA", and this would be the single that would have the BLOOD+ theme song on it. For its first week on the charts, "Aozora no NAMIDA" placed #8 with 44,629 copies sold. This was a huge leap from her past single "evergreen".
Less than two weeks after Hitomi's 3rd single "Aozora no NAMIDA" was released, the well-known online store, CDJapan, announced that Hitomi would be releasing her first album on February 1, 2006. Her site soon updated, and the album was officially titled "sympathy", but was pushed back to the later date of March 1, 2006. The album is to come in two formats, CD only and CD+DVD (limited), and is to contain 12 tracks total, 7 of them being previously unreleased songs.

君がくれた無数の物語
時を超え僕ら
昨日のことのように
不意に思い出すよ
ふたつ並んだ影法師
重ね合わせて辿った家路
伝えなくちゃと思う気持ちを
君は気付いてくれていたかな
夕立に濡れた線路の上
君と手をつなぎ歩いた
あの夏は今も僕の中に
いつまでもいつまでも忘れない
君がくれた無数の物語時を超え僕ら
きっとまた巡り逢う奇跡を信じて
一緒に眺めてた景色残ってるかな
大人になることよりも
大事な何か教えてくれた
変わり続ける人や街並み
僕を少し寂しくさせた
君の目にはどう映るのかな
思い出が消えてしまうこと
恐れてた日もあったけど
君はまだ僕の胸の奥に
いつまでもいつまでも失くさない
二人描いたとき時間の物語
あの頃のままに
交わされた約束は決して消えないよ
吹き抜けてゆく風の向こうで
次の季節が僕を待ってる
君の目にはどう映るのかな
夕立に濡れた線路の上
君と手をつなぎ歩いた
あの夏は今も僕の中に
いつまでもいつまでも忘れない
君がくれた無数の物語時を超え僕ら
きっとまた巡り逢う奇跡を信じて
どんなに重ねても足りないほど
かけがえのない記憶
何もかも僕の胸の奥に
いつまでもいつまでも失くさない
二人描いたとき時間の物語
あの頃のままに
果てしない未来へと道は続いてく
The song is called evergreen by Hitomi Takahashi. The song is about a young adult who is remembering his past memories with a friend whom he hasn't seen in a while. The singer is reflecting on the stories and memories that his friend shared with him in the past, which were so important it gave him the feeling that they would be everlasting. He had a special bond with his friend and felt the friendship was inseparable. When he takes a walk along the railway track, it reminds him of a time when he and his friend walked hand in hand during a thunderstorm, and how he never forgets that nostalgic memory.
The musician uses nature to symbolize time passing; he compares the memories to an evergreen tree, which does not lose its leaves but is always fresh and green. The singer believes that he and his friend will meet again in the future and create more unforgettable memories. In the end, he realizes that everything that happened between him and his friend was a story in time that will always be present in his heart and that the future is still waiting to unfold for him.

I'll never, ever forget
The countless stories you gave me cross over time, and we...
I suddenly remember it as if it were yesterday
Two lined up shadows overlapping and following the road home
I wonder if you've noticed
the other me who interferes with the feelings I think I need to tell you?
On the track wet by the evening shower
that summer we walked hand in hand is still inside me even now
I'll never, ever forget it
The countless stories you gave me cross over time, and we...
will surely meet again - believe in that miracle...
I wonder if the scenery we gazed at together remains?
You taught me something more important than growing up
The people and houses that continue changing made me a little sad
I wonder how I reflect in your eyes
There were days when I feared my memories would disappear, but
you still remain in my heart
I'll never, ever lose them
The stories we imagined are still as they were at that time...
The promises we exchanged will never disappear...
On the other side of the blowing wind, the next season is waiting for me
"I wonder how I reflect in your eyes..."
On the track wet by the evening shower
that summer we walked hand in hand is still inside me even now
I'll never, ever forget it
The countless stories you gave me cross over time, and we...
will surely meet again - believe in that miracle...
The memories are so irreplaceable they're never enough no matter how many pile up
They're all in my heart
I'll never, ever lose them
The stories we imagined are still as they were at that time...
This road continues towards the endless future
