Another Hikki English album update...

"According to Daily Sports Online, Hikaru's debut album under Island Records will be released in early 2004. It states that Island Def Jam is putting a lot of money into her impending debut, going so far as to create an advertisement team specifically for Hikaru's debut (titled "HU Project," as previously reported on Hikaru-Online.Net). This is only the second time that Island Def Jam has done this for an artist, the first being for Mariah Carey. Hikaru is said to be receiving "VIP" treatment, much like the aformentioned Ms. Carey.

The article also mentions how Hikaru has not been in the spotlight since her appearance at the Matrix Reloaded World Premiere in May due to the fact that she has steadily been working on her English album."

Credits to Daily Sports Online + Soompi

======Thanks to Takumi Roke at do-as-infinity.com======

I'm more and more looking forward to the album now, with the dates set and everything. I hope Hikki does the English version of First Love on the album, seeing how popular that song was! I also hope Hikki doesn't follow in Mariah Carey's footsteps...like initially very popular and then all commercial.

Thanks for the update. I don't think Hikki would go all commercial though, she has no need to.

Sounds great! I think that more money in it means more production quality and... MUSIC VIDEOS...

And if it does as well as they hope...

A TOUR!!!! YAY!

I hope "Simple and Clean" will be released as singles in the US first, i've postive(a little) that it'll be a hit, and eventually, the album will be a success too.


Let's just hope it won't turn out to be a let down like COCO lee.

Yeah it's too bad that her album didn't work out as far as sales...
I wish she had released something closer to "Ultra Blue" in the U.S.!

wow oldness....but for the bad sales, i blame the label. the music was great...and also, theres a high percentage of people who wont buy the cd cuz she's Japanese. people here only like country and rap music.
