this was fascinating to watch/listen to.
the timing of some things was extremely surprising. mostly this really showcases how most of hikki's releases are sooo unique compared to the rest. when her songs come up in this mix, its almost jarring how different they are. while the rest of the girls tend to have something in common for much of their careers (particularly early on), hikki's stuff sounds futuristic in comparison; bringing me back to the 'surprising' bit: comparing the singles that were released next to each other (Dearest - traveling REALLY surprised me...I mean, I knew...but I didn't really realize. And hearing them side by side like that was a little bit mind blowing).
It's interesting to see the growth of the individuals as well; from changes in vocals and musical style to image and styling. This also was a good reminder of some older albums that should be played a few times over. Thanks for this. Please keep adding to it.
Oh, was there a reason you left out Sakura Nagashi?
