[Not Fade Away]

^It's really weird how songs can affect you like that. Like 'Tippy Toe' on Exodus (which I know is a really random song to have affected me like that) I am unable to listen to just because of some crazy stuff that was going on. I was obsessed with that song and was listening to it in the midst of all that stuff so now when I hear it I almost cringe, which sucks. For a while I couldn't listen to Devil Inside or YMMWTBAM either but the live versions were so different from the CD that I was able to break out of that funk, thank goodness.

I'd listened to some of the tracks before, but hearing the whole album was awesome. It still feels fresh and like a new Hikki album to me, so I'm glad for that.

On the subject of Hikki songs linking to sad memories, HEART STATION is hard for me to listen to; especially the songs Stay Gold and HEART STATION. I love the songs though.

It's probably a really good thing that you unintentionally saved Exodus for last lol. I feel like out of all her albums, Exodus is the most experimental so you almost need to experience it away from her other material lol.

I loveee when an album seems fresh and not burnt out though. Hopefully Exodus will remain that way for you for a while haha. As for me, I'm currently burning out her 'Wild Life' concert for myself because it's the only thing I haven't overplayed yet haha.

I was in a good place for Heart Station so none of the songs really remind me of anything sad or uneasy. Man I DEFINITELY overplayed Stay Gold/Heart Station though.

I overplayed Stay Gold/HEART STATION to death, and I actually sent them to an old friend of mine which got him into J-Pop. Hikki converted a heavy-metal lover...well anyway, I'm not friends with him anymore, that whole summer was a big mess. Go Hikki for making such emotional music that can soak up memories like a sponge!

And yeah, I'm feeling preeetty smug that Kremlin Dusk is still fresh for me, since a lot of people say they've overplayed that But I actually love the whole album, so I'm super happy. I don't really like watching live performances, I get bored easily, so this is my lifeline throughout the hiatus...

EDIT: Actually, has anyone got .zip or .rar files for HEART STATION and ULTRA BLUE? I'm still trying to get my iTunes back to normal, getting all my music back is killing me. Ayu is bad enough on her own without everyone else I listen to lol
