This is going to sound dumb, but is she REALLY in love with a bear or does she just love bears a hell of a lot? xD;....

Wasn't Kuma-Chang a bear bought in China by her former husband?
I guess part of the story why she likes him that much is that she has something big and fluffy to grab and hug whenever she wants ^^;


...Hey, I've been thinking about something. Wouldn't you guys love her to collab with some american musicians?
Myself, I'm really wondering what the combination Kelis-Utada would give ^///^
Or Dido?

Anyway, I hope there will be an English version of Prisoner Of Life. The song has full potential for being a hit overseas, I think.

I wonder how collabs would turn out, hmm... sounds exciting! haha.

I'm hoping there's an English Prisoner of Love, too. She did write it in English first, so we'll see

So much to look forward to!

No. It was brought buy her dad and she named him Kuma. Hikki noticed that Kuma was made in China and she said something about how the name system works in China or wutever and it lead to her naming Kuma last name Chang.

Kelis? OMG no. She's not even hot anymore. She'll come out with a lil hit and fade back into the background. Dido is okay but she really aint going to boost Hikki's career and I'm not sure if Hikki is familiar with her music either.

Collaborations aren't just for boosting another artist's profile... I think this kind of thing really shows how many people have embraced the idea of music primarily being run as a business (along with other comments like "CBTM is what she needs to break through, so she can go back to doing original stuff afterward!", making it seem like generic music is a-okay).

Kelis is awesome. Dido, not so much IMHO.

Kelis and Dido? This thread is making my head hurt and really reinforcing the idea that most people here don't have a clue about the American music market.

ROFL. Are you thinking about "collaborations as profile-boosters" too? I have to agree with your post, though.
I mean, she had the drummer (Jon Theodore) from The Mars Volta, which I think worked out awesome. With Timbo, a little less so (I love Wonder 'Bout and LMGYML, but Exodus '04 seems underwhelming by comparison). It's all about finding complementary sounds...

But if Timbo would let Hikki do whatever with a track or two he made for her (like he did with Bjork), I think the results would be great.

Well, yea. That's true. But like I said, I don't think Hikki is familiar with Dido's music. And she's prolly not even familiar/don't like Kelis music either.

Cool Story Kind Of xD;

Today in my college music class my teacher asked me for the song to review today, and I gave her a CD with CBTM burnt on it ;3

It was really cool like, the class listened to the song and picked apart the harmony and melody and things of that sort for about 15 minutes.

And my teacher picked out the piano part in the melody and went over it a few times.

It was really fun, and the class all actually liked the song.

I understand that working with artists who aren't the "it" singers of the moment is still good. But Dido and Kelis are total hasbeens, working with them would be more of an embarrassment than anything.

I noticed something while listening to Come Back To Me on the streaming link:



The pattern used for the vector image is the same pattern that is on the hem of Hikki's hoodie.

It's a very small, minute detail but it's interesting.

It's probably a common theme. Nothing wrong with that though, it's artistic sorta
