If she wouldn't have had Last Friends then HEART STATION wouldn't have had minimal decreases in sales as weeks went by et cetera.
You guys realize that it's not the artists who seek out companies to get tie-ins? Both the creators of HYD2 and Last Friends ASKED Hikki to do songs for them.

Are you serious with this? Have you ever hear the first two albums of Hikki's music career? Distance anyone? That is so mainstream American it's not even funny.

I think it's too soon to do a second singles collection... she doesn't have enuff material, IMO. Maybe after another album. But it might be a good idea to keep her name out there while she's working on the English album.
