  Miho Hatori - Ecdysis @ DHS.com
Miho Hatori, formerly of Cibo Matto and the only woman I’ve ever proposed to, has released her first solo album, Ecdysis.
Miho was talking about putting out an album when I saw her play in the summer of 2004, so I reckon there must be some problem getting a label behind her.
Miho’s recent tribute to singing in the wrong language was, of course, the two EPs she put out as part of Smokey and Miho (and Ganda ♥, but no one ever remembers her).

 WERS.org :: Artist Interview: Miho Hatori
Miho Hatori is a free spirit in every sense of the word, never restricting herself to only one project.
Accompanied by Shoko Nagai on piano and keyboard, Hatori’s three song set was a thing of pure beauty, and gave the impression that Hatori knew what was going on with her music on levels that were not immediately apparent to the casual listener.
Hatori’s first two numbers are slower in nature, but do not lose any intensity due to lack of speed.

 Amazon.com: Ecdysis: Miho Hatori: Music
For longtime fans of Cibo Matto, Miho Hatori's first solo album (not counting her lovely LP's worth of South American-influenced duets and covers with Smokey Hormel) is, finally, more than worth the wait.
But Hatori spends more time in stranger lyrics territory -- future worlds where plant life has died and "my dad is an inspector of messages from insects," a goddess is walking on the milky way and another in the woods.
Miho Hatori took a little longer than her ex-bandmate for this solo debut, but it was worth the wait -- it's an enchanting, fantastical little album of catchy pop.

 midomi - Miho Hatori
With Cibo Matto, as a collaborator, and in her solo work, Miho Hatori has always displayed an eclectic, playful touch that's worldly in the best sense of the word: fusing her love of everything from bossa nova to hip-hop to metal and rock with her Japanese heritage, Hatori's musical excursions sound equally well-traveled and organic.
In 2005, Hatori released her solo debut, Ecdysis -- named for the shedding process insects undergo to continue growing -- in Japan; the U.S. release followed a year later.
Considering that Miho Hatori named her solo album Ecdysis after the molting process arthropods must undergo to grow and survive, it's not surprising that this set of songs feels like the cumulation...

 Miho Hatori: (a)live and kicking, UCLA International Institute
Hatori's music on her recent first debut album, Ecdysis, can also be described as more manageable and unassuming than what she made with her former group Cibo Matto, and on record it does seem that way.
As to the last song, Hatori introduced it as a response to an issue that's been preoccupying her, namely, the difference between a robot and a cyborg in terms of their actual makeup, leading to the profound experience of human feeling as both pleasure and pain.
In fact, the kind of monologue Hatori performed aside from the songs was just as appealing as it also showcased her personality in a raw way.

 Comfort Music: Miho Hatori
Miho Hatori (straight out of purgatory) released her first album, Ecdysis, in Japan last year, and it just recently came out in the US.
It's hard to avoid the temptation to compare this to her Cibo Matto bandmate Yuka Honda's solo albums - Honda is more overtly experimental and deliberately unsettling, while Hatori seems more about blending sources into a pop pastiche that seems familiar and unique at the same time.
Miho makes a vocal appearance on the new O.Lamm album "Moniolith" as well which comes out on Audio Dregs soon and on Active Suspension in Europe.

 Lunapark6 » Blog Archive » Miho Hatori - Ecdysis
Fans of the quirky New York via Tokyo duo named Cibo Matto should be happy to hear that, Miho Hatori (vocalist for Cibo Matto) is back with her debut album named Ecdysis.
This time around, Miho Hatori blends a variety of world music styles, with a particular emphasis on Bossa Nova and Samba, along with her charming indie pop sounds.
Miho Hatori’s Ecdysis combines a pastiche of musical influences, that at times sounded impressive, but mostly made me yearn for the more conventional songs like “Ecdysis” and “In Your Arms.” Miho Hatori certainly has an impressive voice and she obviously knows a thing or two about various musical genres.

 Miho Hatori - Barracuda (Ishiura Masaru) at Shots Ring Out
Well as it turns out, one of their singers Miho Hatori has decided it was time to put something out on the solo end of things and whattya know its actually pretty charming.
I usually fail to go and stream an artists work cause I’m either lazy or want to save myself for the entire album rather than just parts, but for some reason I went to Miho’s Myspace and listened to what she had going on.
The video was directed/animated/curated by Tokyo-based artist Ishiura Masaru and follows an animated Miho (I believe) throughout a tiny boat trip through an animated world of wonder that’s part Disney ride and part Super Mario boss level.

 Miho Hatori: Ecdysis: Pitchfork Record Review
Standing at the forefront of this lost moment was Cibo Matto, two culinary-obsessed Japanese women-- Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori-- who scavenged NYC traditions from be-bop to hip-hop into riotous wok-rocking beats.
Knowledge of Hatori's back-story is a prerequisite for making sense of her first solo album, Ecdysis, which plays like something of a career-retrospective mash-up.
Though her thickly accented English readily identifies her as a Japanese woman, her narrative perspective is constantly shifting from female to male, from past to future, from deeply personal to nonsensical-- a malleability reflected by amorphous arrangements that mold traditional instrumentation (violins, trumpets) into burbling electro-sonics.
