That doesn't seem like her style hahahaha But I'll admit, I was curious about that when I heard it too!

[GRACE]

It seemed like Hikki was telling someone else's story in the first person, not her own. She flipped her person several times, so it was sort of confusing.

[amorphose]

LMAO @ all the tags...

I haven't been home in a day and I come back to this big argument. D:

I like to look at "Come Back To Me" as being the "Easy Breezy" of EXODUS (as they are both lead singles from the album.) It seems that everyone's general complaint with CBTM is that it's too generic. I agree on that point; as it is very generic, but I still think it's a very good, solid song! Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is look at what followed on the rest of EXODUS, after Easy Breezy, and how vastly different it was from that song.

Hikki is unpredictable. The new English album could be as vastly different from Come Back To Me as Easy Breezy is from EXODUS. No need to get panties in a bunch yet, even if you hate the song!

A-greed

It's a solid song, and she needs something like this to make a splash. I just hope her splash makes her perform here... hm, what am I saying? She has to perform... right? *hopes*

I get what you're saying.

However, it's just that there is a very good chance that, that won't happen. That theyre going to be "smarter" about things this time...and go with a specific style.

Maybe that's giving them too much credit lol I hope you're right though.


And...the tag's are great. "obsessed person's thread" Makes sense to me.

I was thinking the same thing too, about them narrowing the style of this album a lot. But I still think the album can be a lot different from "Come Back To Me." If not style wise, lyrically and production-wise. I'm sure Stargate didn't produce the entire album. x_x

I, personally, hope that she worked with Bloodshy & Avant. They're remix of YMMWTBAM was amazing!!!

About live performances-- For EXODUS, she did a showcase (but we never got to see anything but clips of that) and she preformed Devil Inside and Exodus '04 on Japanese music programs. At UU06 she did YMMWTBAM, Kremlin Dusk, and Devil Inside.

If I were betting, I'd say she'll preform CBTM at least once on J-Music shows around the Japanese release date of the album.

[Zeke.]

^ Their work with Britney is really good imo and Eat You Up is fantastic! I don't care what anyone says, it's amazing. Lol.

I wonder who's point of view it was...

Hahaha it would be interesting if either of the cases were true!

Does anyone know if she has any performances lined up for this song?

Nothing is planned publicly yet x;

[Andrenekoi]

Hikki likes to tell other people stories on her music...

But this "first person then third person" thing was alread used in hotel lobby...

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Me too. I didn't notice the 1st person to 3rd person of the lyrics until I heard it from someone else. lol And yea, it was used in Hotel Lobby but i don't too many people noticed that.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^She performed Exodus songs only 5 times I believe.

YMMWTBAM 2 times, Devil Inside 2 times, and Kremlin Dusk once.

Wow I never even knew that. The word "Kremlin" makes me think of a cross b/w Krillin form DBZ and a gremlin

I hope she performs a good amount of songs from this album

I hope she performs in NYC because then I will definitely be there. BoA's performance at MTV studios was packed, imagine Hikki D: I might just have to crawl through some legs, I'm relatively small.

[jbrat2219]

If she held a concert there, I would go!

But not for one performance hahah I don't live down the street -_-;....

[Sundae]

When she was promoting Exodus, she had a private event. That wasn't really good promotion for her.

Yea I had about that. Though some of the people who went said it was pretty good. I guess we'll see. Everything's clouded in mystery lol. She's in NY now right? If only she was staying in some hotel that everyone knew about like when Ayu went to Paris. Then I could go harass Hikki

But I feel like if I saw her on the street I'd just be "Hey, I like your music. Pretty cool." While inside I'm exploding. Or maybe I'd fainted and be speechless... hm.

[[kokoro♥]]

I bet if Hikki met American fans she would be super nice *w*;
And take a few pictures with them and stuff!

-can't see Hikki being mean-

I always saw Ayu as being a Diva, but she was really nice to her Chinese fans D:
