Im not sure what to think of this (esp the font)

I like it. I think black and white would be a fitting color theme for the tour.
Adding to first post~

I wish they announced the goods for this tour asap haha

Btw is anyone going on the very first night (in Yokohama)?

That font is more 2008 than 2018...

For some reason it really reminded me of Banksy’s girl with the balloon painting.

Like it, black/white is so simple yet effective.

Another announcement about Face My Fears:

Updated tracklist:
Face My Fears
Chikai
Face My Fears (English Version)

The font looks like hand-writing.
The letter R are different. Not font-type.
Probably it is her hand-writing.

I love her picture in pencil strokes, but the font looks too thick/rounded to match the picture? Still a nice concept.

Maybe the font is supposed to look a little childish..? "Laughter in the dark" sounds a little childish, maybe..? No? Okay, I have no idea, I give up :D:D

I wonder if the tour name is a Nabokov reference. I bet Hikki fucks with Nabokov.

wow I haven't checked in on Hikki news for a while and it's so great to see a new single coming and tour goods that are actually good! I want that hoodie and black T-shirt wow I'm such a sucker for this kind of design

THAT TEE IS NICE! minimal is love

I want that beanie! It's so cute.

Everything is so damn ugly&expensive I'm seriously thinking of not buying anything but the mug (which is cool and has a reasonable price for Japan haha). Also the tee, but just if the letters are shining in gold haha otherwise I will make it myself, damn!

Too Proud featuring XZT, Suboi, EK (L1 Remix) (Short Version)

Full song is available on streaming sites and iTunes.
This version features rappers XZT from China, Suboi from Vietnam, and EK from Korea.

This is so much better than Jevon honestly. I'm deleting the album version and keeping this lmao.
