OMG! I thought this was true, Cloud! :laugh

Hmmm.....I don't think Hikki will release a single after her HS. PoL would be a good single to release but after HE/SG, I just don't see it happening! It has a great incentive though.

Is she serious? LOL.

EH?! are you kidding me?
koda and then ayu and then ken and then hikki make a rip off single too?!?!?!
its a trend right now?

It's not a joke. See it in Toshiba-EMI page. xD

Wow. :shakehead I knew Prisoner of Love was a popular track from HS, but I didn't see this coming. Oh, well. Prisoner of Love is one of my favorite tracks from HS, and I'm glad that it's getting its own PV.

I'm a little skeptical about the tracklist, though. :shrug But Hikki will probably make a new, awesome track. :heart

Ken, Hikki and Koda did not add more to the songs that they rereleased.

Ayu made it into a full 5 min+ song.. :|~ Plus Mirror wasn't even a song, it was an introduction. :|

^yeah i agree, ayu did a different thing, she made short to full song...
even use a different title...
but this? OMG!!! i'm shocked that so many top JPOP artist do the same thing

Would this count as a recut single?

''-Quiet Version- '' >.<

I wish there's additonal of at least one song in this single. But prisoner of love is considered a hit song so maybe this single could sell well.

duh! It's what we called a re-cut single >_< Remember SURREAL? AUDIENCE? Daybreak?

At first i thought it's a April fool joke after seeing the cover...then i realized that it's not 1st April anymore... -_-

^ Dude, chill out.

You need to stop.

:no

And FYI, recut singles are generally defined as recut straight from the album. :| The "same song" is 2-3 minutes longer than the "album cut" :|

lmao, agreed xDD I didn't really care for POL that much, but maybe the quiet version will change my mind :3 But wow, what a random single O_o

ALSO, has anyone noticed the FOL connection? xD Hikki's wearing hoodies in both and they're both taken from the same side view!

LOLCAT!!!!! :roflmao

:laugh

You guys are funny when you argue! XD

I hate this song so much ;_;

Why re-cut ANYTHING? It doesn't make sense ;_;

I'm happy to get more stuff from Hikki... but this was kinda stupid. Why didn't she just push back HS's release until like July?

Is that the cover? Absolutely NOT digging the yellow text. URGH.

But anyway, it's pretty cool she's doing a recut single. I would rather she included a version of Take 5 with a nice non-abrupt adding.

are you saying that to me or hikki? >_<

I think the reasons why she put out a single for Prisoner of Love are that first: it's a tie-up song for a drama. 2nd: She filmed a Pv of it and it need to be in somewhere! And thirdly, she mentioned she loved the song alot! ...

I think it's good cuz now we got at least 1 more decent PV in her UH5 Video Collection! :yes
