This week Monday moment is a special one. Not only it’s a very beautiful song but the big surprise is the singer who sings it. Catherine St-Onge as better known by her stage name HIMEKA is actually a French Canadian decent.

Here’s a little bio taken from the Wiki.

Born in Quebec, St-Onge was very intrested in theater and music. At the age of 12, St-Onge taught herself English by singing Disney songs. Soon after at 13, she began write her own stories in which Himeka was the main character. Her interest in Japanese culture started at the age of 15 when she saw an episode of the anime series Sailor Moon. In 2008 St-Onge moved to Japan in order to pursue her singing career. She was the winner of the Second Annual Animax Anison Grand Prix, that gathers aspiring singers from all over Japan for the chance to make a professional debut and sing a theme song in an anime television show. Her debut single “Asu e no Kizuna” (明日へのキズナ ?), is the opening theme to the anime adaptation of the Playstation 3 video game, Valkyria Chronicles

It just goes to show, with dedication, hard work, a passion of what you want to achieve and a little bit of luck, you can reach your goals in Japan or anywhere around the world. ^^
