Debut and success
While the first two singles, Let's Play Winter and WE ARE "LONELY GIRL" were considerable failures, her third single CANDY GIRL was used as the theme for a Kodak CM, and secured a Top 20 spot on the Japanese Oricon music chart. Subsequent singles "By Myself" and "Busy Now" established hitomi, barely out of her teens, as one to watch in Japanese entertainment.

Komuro and hitomi went their separate ways in 1999. It is believed that hitomi was unhappy with being a marginalised figure in Komuro's stable of performers, as she was behind other Komuro-produced acts like Namie Amuro, globe, and Ami Suzuki at that time, and also wanted more creative control over her music and image. The split was apparently amicable, however, and in 2002, hitomi teamed up with Komuro once again for the SongNation project, a various-artists compilation intended to raise funds for the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. hitomi contributed lyrics and vocals for the song "My Planet."

Many of her songs have been featured on a wide range of products. Examples include "I am," which served as an opening song for the popular anime InuYasha, "kimi no tonari," which was the theme song for a PlayStation video game Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and "IS IT YOU?" was used as a theme song for a popular FujiTV drama series "dekichatta kekkon". In addition, hitomi is a perennial favourite of clothes, cosmetics and accessories brands like Trussardi and Gillette for her modeling experience, photogenic features, and slender figure. Hitomi is currently the spokesperson for Gillette Venus shaver in Japan and visited Hawaii to film a commercial.

Hitomi married boyband GASBOYS former member U-san in the autumn of 2002. They got divorced in november 2007, and they had no kids. During this period as a married woman, her legal name changed to Hitomi Uesugi ( Uesugi Hitomi ).

Hitomi was largely out of the public eye from mid-2002 to early 2004, because it was discovered she had an ovarian cancer.
