~SUPPORT HIKKI~

Sorry if the first post sucks i don't know what else to put in here

[Namie♡TOP SECRET]

YAY FOR NEW THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!

[Polyrhythm]

To be honest, I didnt really believe that Hikki would make it past the last thread with all the lack of news lately...word is, she'll retire soon (maybe do one last Japanese album) or she'll make it in the U.S, be rocketed into international fame, and then end her Japanese career anyway.

[untitledforayu]

^ ^ Noooooo!!! She can't quit!!!
But, seriously, she might as well have already quit considering her boooring lack of activity.

Anyway, since we've abandoned 32, I'll ask again: Is 9 Sai no Omoide worth listening to?/ Does anyone like it?

Btw, I love your sig (me)JackieRos! so true~

psh AHS people will always find something to spam about

Like...I'm really happy because I was able to find utada songs on v cast...no koda or ayu...but whatever...I took WINGS.

and I just realised that I downloaded and paid $2 for it, for no reason, because I can't even set it as a ringtone

that's okay though, pomegranate to the rescue <3

Well...I don't like the single...i dunno...some people might...the songs are really boring and Utada is...well...literally singing like a little kid... I don't consider it a part of her discography.

uuh, not really.. i just skipped around the songs. she did sound sorta cute?
all i can say is, that her voice totally changed between the time she was 9 and now (duh xD) I couldn't really tell it was her.

God I really can't believe how boring Hikki can get. Her singles never disappoint me (except Boku wa Kuma) but her way of working is a way too irritating.

That's my fault but I did that on purpose because I thought the old Hikki thread was lasting WAY too long

[JackieRos]

I didn't see any spam from you
but i do believe that this thread is going to be slooooow

Oh well, quality over quantity! LOL!

[rainydayumi]

you guys expect too much seriously. hikki is considered pretty fast paced and exciting compared to a lot of huge artists in the world. australia's natalie imbruglia takes about 3 years between albums, new zealand's #1 artist bic runga takes 3-5 years, nelly furtado takes 3 years.. and in those breaks hardly any news surface, except paparazzi shots without makeup and stuff like that.

but that being said, i have to say once again that 9 sai no omoide is very very bad!! x__x it cant utada...

They are used to jpop... Were you release 3 singles a week and 2 albums a year xD

[emi♡]

^seriously...but some places (like the US) need to get on the ball.

I mean they barely release anything, and a lot of it is still crappy. It just makes stuff hard...I mean we have the same radio songs for like years.

I think we need to find a happy medium. Not quite Jpop style, but not what they're in either.

@Keichii: I wasn't referring to you, just AHS in general lol Was a joke

@pomegranate: yeah, I didn't explain that sorry~ But seriously...some phone carriers are like Nazi's when it comes to putting stuff on your phone...it's ridiculous, they have monopolies on everything! And there's no way I'm paying for ringtones...oh hell no.


ANYWAY...I don't really like the single. I don't think she has that great a voice as a nine year old either...It's not particularly pretty or unique...It's nice she can stay on pitch though I guess.

Thanks for your opinions. Well, it sounds pretty bleak so I won't bother then
I'm still new to Exodus so that'll entertain me for a while ~
This is going to be a slooow thread for sure...

Yes, Exodus is amazing! Have fun

God I should listen to Exodus again.. Hotel Lobby, Animato and Kremlin Dusk are masterpieces.

Well, I don't live on the US, so, I don't really know how things are over there... But I don't really like the jpop way either... I think it's very strange how for example Beyonce's I am... Sasha Fierce still sounds new to me, but most jpop releases already sound dated. IMO there is no place on the world where pop music is seen as disposable product as it seens to be on Japan

[JackieRos]

i swear i never knew about the american system and i live here
well thats because american music never interested me unless a japanese
singer released some english material
i preffer the japanese system i mean whats the point in releasing
singles after you heard all of the songs in the album
thats just me though

I totally agree.


Btw is hikki on hiatus or something?
We didn't hear from her for ages (since March-April?)
And the only things we get that are related to her are BW remix (well not really from her but it's her song) and uninteresting U3 stuff.

hikki should release new japanese material, but, where is she?
