I don't like most american music either. i'll admit it's gotten slightly better, but at the same time it's gotten dumber. The songs have gotten shorter to tend to america's every shortening attention span. The songs also become increasingly stupid, lyrically wise, although there are a few gems (i really love Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie).

I like jpop more cuz it's better.

and a few notes on hikki.

1. i love hikki
2. she's one of my favorite artists ever
3. HEART STATION still sucks, in my opinion
4. WTF HEART STATION has the shittiest flow i've ever seen. like, uhhhh,

Celebrate --> Prisoner of Love --> TAKE 5 --> Boku wa Kuma --> Niji iro Basu

???

Is Hikaru showing her Buddhist side, she lived a bad and sinful life, died, and was reincarnated as a damn bear? wtf

YEI I'M AN UNTOUCHABLE NAU.

and Niji iro Basu should've AT LEAST been before Boku wa Kuma cuz it's more serious (even though it doesn't sound it).

the first half has decent flow, but that's because the style doesn't vary as much.

albums like "GUILTY" have much better flow.

Also, the singles, save for "Prisoner of Love", are all in the first half.

(FoL doesn't count)

The fact it sold near a million doesn't make it better AT ALL.
The lyrics are also just average. They aren't amazing (i don't get what's up, Fravor of Rife's lyrics aren't that great.

Some songs have great lyrics (TAKE 5, Beautiful World) while others suck.

and hikki is one of my favorite artists ever

but i'm not going to defend the piece of crap that was titled "HEART STATION", cuz it was just so lacking. (TAKE 5 = my favorite song)

so yeah.

Hikki is a great artist, but HEART STATION was not great by any means.
