Chitose Hajime (<#20803;<#12385;<#12392;<#12379; Hajime Chitose?, born January 5, 1979) is a singer from Japan. She is from Amami <#332;shima and sings in a style particular to that region, with distinctive falsetto effects.

Chitose Hajime was recognized as a gifted folk singer at a young age. She won many folk song competitions, released two traditional folk albums on an indie label, and was approached by numerous record labels. She decided to study to become a beautician instead of pursuing music. However, Hajime had severe allergic reactions to many of the chemicals used by beauticians. She withdrew from school, and seriously considered a music career.

In 2001, she released a self titled mini-album on the indie label Office Augusta. The album was covers of older songs, but was so well received that Hajime was pushed to release another mini-album. In August 2001, Chitose released her second mini-album with Augusta Records entitled Kotonoha (<#12467;<#12488;<#12494;<#12495;?). This release featured 5 original tracks.

In 2002, she released her first major label single on Epic Records - "Wadatsumi no Ki" (<#12527;<#12480;<#12484;<#12511;<#12398;<#26408;?). It was the third highest selling single of the year behind only Hikaru Utada's "traveling", and Ayumi Hamasaki's "H". Three months later, she released a brand new single, "Kimi wo Om<#333;" (<#21531;<#12530;<#24819;<#12501;?). While also very popular, it was not nearly the success that her first single was, although it did help to cement her as a permanent artist.

Her first major album, Hainumikaze (<#12495;<#12452;<#12492;<#12511;<#12459;<#12476;?), followed later in the year. It sold 800,000 copies, charted for 57 weeks, and was the 16th highest selling album of the year.

She released 3 more singles before her second major album, Nomad Soul (<#12494;<#12510;<#12489;<#12539;<#12477;<#12454;<#12523; nomado souru?), was released in 2003. Shortly after a concert tour, and the release of a live album and DVD in 2004, Hajime announced that she would be taking time away from the music scene to get married, and have a child. Her first child miscarried, but she successfully gave birth to a girl on January 20, 2005.

She returned to the music industry in November 2005 with the single "Kataritsugu Koto" (<#35486;<#12426;<#32153;<#12368;<#12371;<#12392;?), the ending theme for the anime BLOOD+. The single was a hit, reaching #12 on the Oricon charts. She followed this success with her next come-back single, "Haru no Katami" (<#26149;<#12398;<#12363;<#12383;<#12415;?), the ending theme for the anime AYAKASHI - Japanese Classic Horror. This single sold 6050 copies in its first week, and remained on the charts for 7 weeks total. A third single was released before her next album. The single, "Ao no Requiem" (<#38738;<#12398;<#12524;<#12463;<#12452;<#12456;<#12512;?), was the theme song for the Studio GAGA film Hatsukoi. It featured 1 extra track, and charted for 3 weeks. The following week, Hajime released her third original major album, Hanadairo (<#12495;<#12490;<#12480;<#12452;<#12525;?). The album was available in both a regular edition, and a limited edition. The limited edition featured a 13th track, "Shinda Onna no Ko" (<#27515;<#12435;<#12384;<#22899;<#12398;<#23376;?) with Ryuichi Sakamoto), as well as a DVD containing the music videos for "Kataritsugu Koto", and "Haru no Katami".

Studies have revealed that her particular style of singing, including aspects of traditional Amami-<#332;shima music, has a relaxing effect that has been observed in electroencephalograms taken from the brains of people listening to her singing[citation needed].Contents [hide]
