You know what's funny? Some of Hikki's album covers in the past I wasn't too crazy about...for awhile I would see one of her new album covers and think "Oh, look, it's another cover of a big close-up of her face" or something lol. I mean, I would never say I
disliked them...I love Hikki not only music-wise, but her as a person always intrigues/interests me too. This is the only celebrity in the world that I would feel 100% comfortable with trying to just talk to her like she's a normal person, non-celeb. She seems incredibly down-to-earth in interviews. Anyway, I've started losing my point...my point is, you're right, everyone likes and dislikes different things. When I was getting tired of seeing a close-up of her face on a lot of her albums, even though I think she's very attractive, you or someone else may have been loving it.
In fact, as I type this out, I think one of the main reasons that I DO like this cover (even without all the supposed "special effects" that may come with it lol), is because it is so completely DIFFERENT than any album cover that she has put out to date, that I know of at least. So, I love that. And I love the fact that she is so proud of it, that she designed it and the kuma-chan charm as well.
Anyway, after looking back through the posts, I think I was definitely the ruder person, so I again apologize to everyone. If I were a native Japanese in Japan, I may delete my account to show my sincerity.
