Howling (Hitomi Yaida song)

Howling is Hitomi Yaida's debut single under the name of Hitomi Yaida. It was released independently by Aozora Records on May 3, 2000.

Although only available in the Kansai region of Japan, the single reached number 50 on the Oricon charts. As a result of its popularity, Yaida was subsequently offered a recording contract with Toshiba-EMI.

This was Aozora's first ever release as the label itself was established the same day as the single was released. Aozora benefited from the attention this single attracted, also selling distribution contracts to Toshiba-EMI for its future catalogue.
