Person: Hinata Megumi

Hinata Megumi is a Japanese singer, lyricist and musician. She is currently signed to Mellow Head.

Megumi Hinata began learning to play the piano at the age of four, and said she first became interested in music in the latter half of elementary school, which she spent in the United States. After returning to Japan, she began writing lyrics and music, and participated in band activities at school.

Hinata is considerably fluent in English. Her lyrics often contain whole verses or choruses in English, and she has even written a few songs entirely in English. She has also translated lyrics for other artists from English to Japanese (Hilary Duff's song "I Can't Wait", for example) as well as from Japanese to English.

Throughout her career she has operated under many names. Under the direction of Hirose Kohmi, Hinata Megumi had her singing debut in 1998 as GUMI (グミ) and sung the theme song and several insert songs for the immensely popular Card Captor Sakura anime. She changed her solo stage name to meg rock in 2004.

In addition to her solo career, she had a side project with Honma Akimitsu from 2000 to 2001 called g.e.m., and another with Okazaki Ritsuko started in April 2002 called Melocure, which ended abruptly due to Okazaki's death in 2004. Melocure created music for a number of anime series including UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, Stratos 4, and Oku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo: Bewitched Agnes.

As a producer and lyricist, she is known either as Hinata Megumi, meg hinata or meg rock. She has produced songs for a great number of singers, the most famous of which include Kawabe Chieko, Tamaki Nami, and Nakagawa Shoko .
