Hiromi Matsuura
Japanese singer, songwriter, radio hostess and former AV idol
Hiromi Matsuura (松浦ひろみ, Matsūra Hiromi) is a Japanese singer-songwriter.
Music career
Matsuura made her musical debut in September 2005 under the stage name Hiromi Matsuura with the single "Cruel", produced by Joplin Tokuno of Kome Kome Club. Her first release charted at number 3 on the Japanese Singles Chart.
In April 2006, she released her second single, "Save Me"', which was taken up as the theme song of the PS2 game Mitsu x Mitsu Drops. In October 2006, she released her first album, Romantic Fantagic. The album met with a great deal of commercial success, with four of the tracks being used in television commercials. She then started to make appearances as a radio and Internet personality.
Unable to deal with stress brought about by commercial success, she gave up her Internet presence in September 2007. While her third single, "Happy Life",' was picked up by Misawa Homes for a television commercial, she took a break from the entertainment industry for several months, not resurfacing until March 2008, when she started to change her image to a more sexually explicit one. In October 2008, Hiromi made her first acting appearance in a nude video, Hiromi Matsuura: Singer-songwriter in Explicit Debut (現役シンガーソングライター松浦ひろみ 限界露出デビュー), which was followed in the next few months by some other gravure videos.

Why this record matters

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3785767. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
