Hisashi "Out of Sight" 8.25.2007 Hisashi's voice, with a register of nearly four octaves, is truly amazing and one of a kind. He started singing professionally when he was a student at jazz clubs and American army bases in Japan. Now he is an experienced recording and touring artist as well as a music writer for films, theater and adverts. "Out of Sight" opens with a cover of a 70s song by Yoshida Minako, a singer-songwriter he adores. Other songs include his originals, a collaboration with a fellow musician and covers of 40s standard jazz. It was recorded live without using overdub technology. This simplified approach brought an anachronistic but fresh feel to the record.
