Expectation and emotion may not be directly proportional.
As a fan since 1999, I've been encountering hikki's hiatus from time to time. I'm sure most of you have the same experience. We know hikki's release schedule. Sometimes she took a long time to release a new album (First Love to Distance (back then I consider that as a big gap), DEEP RIVER to ULTRA BLUE), sometimes she just came up with new materials in a really short time (Distance to DEEP RIVER, and possibly UB to HS). No matter what everytime I was so eager to wait for her new stuff. After all, she's hikki, the person who dragged me into the JPop World. For every single hiatus she was on, I wait either patiently or getting annoyed or no new hikki songs (not getting annoyed by her btw).
This time, she even releases a statement about the hiatus. It makes me fear of the no hikki songs for another long term of time. It's like... her songs has been around me for 11 years, and even tho she didn't produce anything in some moments, at least I felt like she was doing something about music. Now all of the sudden I see a gap in front of the hikki's bridge. It could be a small gap (2-3 yrs?), or it could be big one (5+). I feel a bit sad and empty, but at the same time I agree that she should explore her life. Looking at her blogs, it's always kuma, music, and some little stuff. Like her said, it may seem like she has lots of rare experience gained as a musician (traveling around the world, being a statue worshiped by tons of people, gotta meeting different types of people, etc). At the same time she's somehow isolated from real world (I think she's less severe than ayu tho...). It may good a good moment for her to put down her music stuff, and try to do something else (e.g., go back to school again, travel around the world to look at beautiful stuff instead of meeting people from the industry, etc.).
When she's back to music, I will stand in line for sure

I guess we may let the hikki thread fading out, or make it as a place for hikki fan to talk (hey this is a rather peaceful area compared to other hikki's forum). I dun think hikki will lose tons of fans. You know, when she's been in your hearts for more than a few years (e.g., me 11 yrs), it's hard to wipe her out from my mind. I'm sure that she will release some OMG music, because she's hikki.

That will be the end of my JPop world. Two of my most beloved artists are leaving?? Can't imagine that :'( (I have three most beloved artists: hikki and ayu from Japan, and Sammi Cheng from HK
)
