OMG! I thought this was true, Cloud!

Hmmm.....I don't think Hikki will release a single after her HS. PoL would be a good single to release but after HE/SG, I just don't see it happening! It has a great incentive though.

[truehappiness]

Is she serious? LOL.

[AyuGAME]

EH?! are you kidding me?
koda and then ayu and then ken and then hikki make a rip off single too?!?!?!
its a trend right now?

[cloud♥honey]

It's not a joke. See it in Toshiba-EMI page. xD

Wow. I knew Prisoner of Love was a popular track from HS, but I didn't see this coming. Oh, well. Prisoner of Love is one of my favorite tracks from HS, and I'm glad that it's getting its own PV.

I'm a little skeptical about the tracklist, though. But Hikki will probably make a new, awesome track.

Ken, Hikki and Koda did not add more to the songs that they rereleased.

Ayu made it into a full 5 min+ song.. :|~ Plus Mirror wasn't even a song, it was an introduction. :|

[AyuGAME]

^yeah i agree, ayu did a different thing, she made short to full song...
even use a different title...
but this? OMG!!! i'm shocked that so many top JPOP artist do the same thing

[milky_way]

Would this count as a recut single?

[Jwiz]

''-Quiet Version- '' >.<

I wish there's additonal of at least one song in this single. But prisoner of love is considered a hit song so maybe this single could sell well.

[UHPlus]

duh! It's what we called a re-cut single >_< Remember SURREAL? AUDIENCE? Daybreak?

At first i thought it's a April fool joke after seeing the cover...then i realized that it's not 1st April anymore... -_-

[milky_way]

^ Dude, chill out.

You need to stop.





And FYI, recut singles are generally defined as recut straight from the album. :| The "same song" is 2-3 minutes longer than the "album cut" :|

lmao, agreed xDD I didn't really care for POL that much, but maybe the quiet version will change my mind :3 But wow, what a random single O_o

ALSO, has anyone noticed the FOL connection? xD Hikki's wearing hoodies in both and they're both taken from the same side view!

[milky_way]

LOLCAT!!!!!

[Luv ~Venus~]

You guys are funny when you argue! XD

[GRACE]

I hate this song so much ;_;

Why re-cut ANYTHING? It doesn't make sense ;_;

I'm happy to get more stuff from Hikki... but this was kinda stupid. Why didn't she just push back HS's release until like July?

[ruixiong89]

Is that the cover? Absolutely NOT digging the yellow text. URGH.

But anyway, it's pretty cool she's doing a recut single. I would rather she included a version of Take 5 with a nice non-abrupt adding.

are you saying that to me or hikki? >_<

I think the reasons why she put out a single for Prisoner of Love are that first: it's a tie-up song for a drama. 2nd: She filmed a Pv of it and it need to be in somewhere! And thirdly, she mentioned she loved the song alot! ...

I think it's good cuz now we got at least 1 more decent PV in her UH5 Video Collection!
