in one of her In The Flesh shows (i think the New York one?) she said that to someone in the audience. i don't remember why though. xD

WOW how exactly did she say it ( :P )? "Please be quiet sir, heh..."?

^she said, "STOP TALKING!!" lol. and everyone applauded.
i believe there's actually a live audio recording of the NYC show and you could hear when she says it. :yes

Poor guy, must've been so embarrassed but he totally deserved it. I can't imagine being in front of HIKKI and some random idiot ruining it by not shutting up.

^I'm pretty sure he wasn't even yelling anything constructive, either. It was just like "Hiiiiikkiiii! Hiiiikiiiii!" xD

He probably wanted his Kingdom Hearts game signed ( :P ).

Out of curiosity, how many of you guys found out about Hikki through KH? I personally hate Simple & Clean so I was never drawn to it from that, haha.

My favorite song ever is Simple And Clean, you are getting into dangerous zone xD

I discovered not only her, but all of J-Pop and so on trough KH, and I'm really proud of it.

I don't see the hate for the game, it's still an awesome game after all these years.

My top 5, btw:

1. Simple And Clean
2. Kremlin Dusk
3. Uso Mitaina I Love You
4. Kettobase!
5. TOKYO Nights

Haha, sorry Gael (you really look like him o___O).

hmmm top 5?

1. BLUE
2. This is Love
3. Passion
4. Deep River
5. This One

or something like that XD

1. COLORS
2. Letters
3. This Is Love
4. BLUE
5. dareka no negai ga kanau koro

It's hard to choose only 5, I love Keep Tryin', Passion, Addicted To You, hikari, Stay Gold, kettobase!, FINAL DISTANCE and Can You Keep A Secret? as much as these 5 ones too. Her american albums aren't my cup of tea, only singles were listenable.

oh, people are doing the top 5 thing here ?
Let's see ..

1.Pretty much the whole ULTRA BLUE album XD (is that cheating ?)
2.Beautiful World
3.Kremlin Dusk
4.Take 5
5.Time will tell.

I have special memories with all these songs, I also love COLORS, half of DISTANCE, Hikari (But not Simple & Clean), and Flavor of Life

Top five. Hm...

1. Wait & See ~Risk~
2. Kremlin Dusk
3. COLORS
4. For You
5. Kettobase!
That was in no particular order... Also, I wish I could add TIME LIMIT and First Love. I REALLY love those two.

Simple And Clean was my first Hikki song, but I didn't discover her through Kingdom Hearts (I've never played the game). When I was looking stuff up about other J-Pop artists, I kept coming across her name and decided to look her up. Simple And Clean was the first mp3 I found of hers. :) Soon after, I saw a commercial for KH on TV, though, LOL, and heard the remix.

LOL. what a funny title.. :D

and still no new release from her? she's so slow...~~~ TT

*raises hand* Heard Simple & Clean first.....liked it....but it was kinda like...nice song. Nice singer. That's it. I then listened to Hikari in a Japanese trailer for Kingdom Hearts Re:CoM and really got into her music...

i totally forgot that DEEP RIVER should be in that top 5 for me XD
and still the whole Ultra Blue album of course


oh oh oh!!!! *jumos up and down* i feel in love with the song before i even played the game. i first loved it after hearing in commercials. but i would really rather listen to the remix than the original though :( i wouldnt have known about jmusic at all -*dies at the though of not having ayu and my v-kei bands* - if it werent for finding hikki through KH
^__^

Making top 5 lists of the songs from this artist is too hard imo. But because I like making these kind of lists I will give it a try.

01. "Addicted To You/For You"
02. "Keep Tryin'"
03. "Sunglasses"
04. "time will tell"
05. "About Me"

Okay, I cheated for #1 songs. :D But as you can see, there's 3 songs from Distance. I really adore this album. It has probably the best Hikki songs she has ever released. I love every single song on the album and feel like there's no filler songs or any misses for me. This album is just perfect.

And about did I find Hikki through Kingdom Hearts (aweseome games btw). I have to say I didn't. Of course I really love Passion, Sanctuary, Simple & Clean and Hikari but I only got into her when I heard her songs "DISTANCE" and "Kettobase" which made me really interested in her music. I heard two DISTANCE remixes (both are found from FINAL DISTANCE single) and I remember listening to those quite a lot. I got so hooked into her music I don't even understand why I stopped and even deleted her albums from my computer in 2007 before Flavor Of Life was released. :D But now I have everything on my computer again and I'm happy. <3

By the way, I watched two Hikki concerts other day. These were the Unplugged Live and UTADA UNITED 2006. I loved both of these concerts. Her vocals were amazing and especially the latter made me love Hikki even more. It was a amazing concert. I wish I could see Bohemian Summer 2000 and Budokan concerts as well damn it but I couldn't find any downloable torrents. :/

And I almost forgot. I was surfing in wikipedia last week, on Hikki's page. I don't know is it true but there read that Hikki is going on a hiatus or something or release a cover album. I wonder if any of this is true? Well, when I'm thinking about wikipedia there's always a chance of these things being false lies. :/ I really hope that the hiatus thing won't be true.

Least 5 favorite songs

1. Boku Wa Kuma
2. Letters
3. Can You Keep A Secret?
4. Every song on first love except first love, amai wana, and automatic
5. hikari (simple and clean though ♥)

and for the hell of it, my top 5 favorite pvs

1. Passion
2. You Make Me Want To Be A Man
3. SAKURA Drops
4. Be My Last
5. COLORS

Does anyone else besides me think colors should have been on deep river?

^I think it fits better with DEEP RIVER than UB. haha Dareka no... too!

I'm one of the people that found about Hikki through KH and about J-Pop through Hikki. For me though, I didn't buy the game and then like the song... It happened like this: I heard about the game and thought it would be stupid cause I hate Disney, so I wasn't even gonna look into it. Well, when they started airing the commercials, I would see them ALL the time and I fell in love with the song. I was pretty young (9 or 10?) and I didn't really know how to work the computer, so I couldn't find the song online.

So I actually bought KH just to find out who sang the song and so I could hear the whole thing. I did end up playing it and liking it quite a bit, but it started out as like "omg, i need to know who sings this song!!!11!" and after I found out her name I bought the COLORS single. :)

ñahahahahaha

I don't think I look like him much, someone never made that comparison haha
