UBL: artist profile - PARADYCE (428 words)
Eboni, with “an ear” for music, overheard Kitami humming a melody and began harmonizing her pitch to the same melody and needless-to-say; it was music in the making.
As a short-lived quartet performing on the stage of “Showtime in Harlem,” Paradyce quickly found, through a crisis, that they had the “glue” it takes to be a successful musical family when one member suffered a terrible car accident that left her in a coma for over a month and still recuperating to date.
Finally, while most artists utilize the skill of falsetto to flatter listeners with vocal variety, the resident soprano, Kitami masters this range with undeniable ease.
The Origin of the Name Kitami (753 words)
Matsuura proposed that the name Kitami be given to all the region of Ezo which faced out towards Russian territory, centred on Cape Soya and extending along both the Japan Sea and the Okhotsk Sea coasts.
The name Kitami eventually came to refer to the area within the jurisdiction of the Hokkaido Government branch office in Abashiri and finally to the district now centred on Kitami city.
Kitami Fuji now commonly refers to the cone shaped 1209 metre peak beyond Rubeshibe near the Sekihoku Pass, which is clearly visible from Yuhigaoka Dori Avenue in Kitami city.
