Information

Hinata Megumi started learning the piano at the age of four, though her musical interests started during her second half of elementary school. At this time she was residing in the United States. In 1997, she returned to Japan where she started composing songs.

In April 1998, she released her first single under the stage name gmi (グミ). "Catch You Catch Me" was used as theme song for the anime Card Captor Sakura. Later that year she recorded two more songs: "picnic" and "super duper love love days", which were released as part of Card Captor Sakura compilation albums. Thanks to these releases Hinata's fame quickly rose.

In 1999, she participated as vocal guest on Fukuyama Masaharu's album Rendezvous 1.

In July 2000, Hinata became the vocalist of Honma Akimitsu's project g.e.m., releasing the single "c/w you.", and in 2001 g.e.m.'s first full album was released. Additionally, "c/w you." single and g.e.m. album, were released not only nationwide but in other Asian countries. She also started her first tour this year.
