Woo, Hikki's at #2 on the singles chart, and back in the top 10 with HEART STATION
Go Hikki! Take over the charts gurl. I'm so happy for her. It seems that LA didn't give it much of a boost though. I hope the weekend is better for both HS and PoL.

Go Superfly! They might actually get #1 two week in a row.

Exactly how does PoL doesn't deserve the #2 spot?! It deserves it as much as Ai deserves it as well.

As for the re-cuts, I think it's still a good idea...but only in Hikki's case. People had to buy her album during the airing of LA just listen to PoL. But now that the single is out, it can save people money by just buying the single instead of a whole album for one song.

And the Ai sales/popularity situation, I think it was terrible mistake on AVEX to shove Ai in people's face again after Love Piece was just released. I think people weren't expecting her release in a while. Plus, it's been a minute since she has released and doing that time, people might her lost interest in her.
