Heart & Symphony
Heart & Symphony is Japanese pop singer Hitomi Shimatani's fifth studio album. There is both a CD and CD+DVD format. The CD+DVD version is limited, and the first pressing of the CD only version comes with a bonus track.
The album has a number of techno/dance tracks, as well as a song with an element of rock in it, but it is also notable for, as the title alludes, mixing a bit of pop and balladry with classical and symphonic music - such as the tracks Sarasoujou and Salvia. It is also to be noted that the title, Heart&Symphony, incorporates Hitomi's initials.
The album's lyrical content seems to tell a story, starting from the beginnings of love to heartbreak and, finally, acceptance, strength, and a new love.

Famous quotes containing the words heart and/or symphony:
“At dawn of morn, and close of even,
To lift your heart and hands to Heaven.
In double beauty say your prayer:
Our Father first, then Notre Pere.
And, dearest child, along the day,
In every thing you do and say,
Obey and please my lord and lady,
So God shall love and angels aid ye.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
