I'll be waiting for her comeback, no doubt. :)

I never liked her anyway/lost interest in her already so I don't care. is the perfect option to explain how I feel. Honestly, I was never a true fan but there was a time when i did listen to one or two of her songs non-stop for a couple of days. But still, I never cared too much for her music.
This hiatus hasn't affected me too much since I had LITERALLY forgotten she existed these past few months...

I'm not sure whether she's gonna return, but if she does, it'll be interesting to see what kind of comeback she makes!

I never fell inlove with many of Utada's songs, apart from a few, but i have to admit
that Hikaru Utada was one of the artists that got me into j-pop and started my love for ayumi hamasaki
so nonetheless i will miss her, but i bet her compilation album will sell 1,000,000 + because people will go crazy buying it.
Hope she has a good time in her well deserved break.

I will be awaiting her epic return (at least I hope its epic lol)! I have 7 great albums from her to listen to until she comes back plus the new songs that will be on Single Collection Vol. 2.

I lost interest in hikki for a very long time already, she hadn't done anything for quite a long while, and now she is going on to an even longer hiatus... I think she just really wants to retire her singing career, so I'll be surprised if she returns at all. but if she does make a comeback, i'll definitely try her again :)

I lost interest in her already so I don't give a **** since looooooooong time ago

Maybe the ammount of new songs in her new single collection will be the ammount of years she'll be on hiatus? Thus, just listen to one of the new songs every next year, so that you trick yourself that you've got "new" songs while hikki was hybernating.:laugh

^LOL. Good idea! :laugh

She said she'd go on a 2-5 year hiatus... and there are supposed to be 4-5 new songs, so that could very well be a plan. xDD

I think she's had enough time off already and I'm upset. (May or may not wait for her return.)

I never liked her anyway/lost interest in her already so I don't care.

I think she just doesn't want to release an abum at this time ! it'll be so hard for that album to hit million or even 700k and i think it's just she doesn't want to see her abum sells so low ! she 'll come back when she know she 'll have chance to sell well !

"I might lose interest in her by the time she comes back..." It's sad to confess this but it's true. I'm sure I'll lose interest in her completely if she ever comes back anyway. :/

I'll await her return. I briefly lost interest in her during the break that we've already been going through (especially since I wasn't able to listen to her music) but I got back into her and now I'll wait for her for as long as she needs ^^ She deserves a break <3 Some time to herself <3

I'm not a big fan of her. If she releases something, then maybe I'll listen to it if I've got time. Otherwise, I don't really care. So this hiatus isn't that big of a deal.

Also, in terms of Western artists, there are periods about 2-5 years where they also don't release anything, and they (usually) come back with really great stuff.

LOL..it's not her lifetime break that worries me but the extra long break she'll take to finally release something after she announces her come back:ttongue:dark:bchuck:bgiggle:yes:lech

I've lost interest in her so I don't really care. If she does return and release something new, I'll listen.

I'm not a fan but there were a few songs from her that became my favorites.
So, I'll wait for her return and expect something great. :D

Lost interest in her awhile ago so whether she returns or not isn't anything to me.

what really worries me is the fact that 'I don't like her/don't really care' is closing in on the "we'll wait for your return!" option.

I was so sad when I heard the news.

But I'll be waiting for her return, no doubt.

What a year:
First HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR
Then MEG
Then Hikki
Then OLIVIA announced a best album and I thought she will retire.
I was like.. what the *******? Who's next? Base Ball Bear? flumpool? YUKI? BONNIE PINK? Perfume? LOL
Thank god OLIVIA is not leaving!!!
