I like how the new songs follow the same direction as Sakura Nagashi.

This!

I agree, I went to listen to Sakura Nagashi after listening to Manatsu no Tooriame for the first time and felt like both new songs could go well together with it, they all have a cohesive sound. If Hikki went this route with her next album, I wouldn't be surprised, but I have no expectations like I did with the new songs. I am loving Manatsu no Tooriame the most so far. Can't wait to hear both songs in full. Glad she is back, I've miss her. I'm quite content and satisfied with what I'm hearing right now.

Haha I did the same thing and thought the same as well!

I'm digging these previews so far - especially Manatsu no Tooriame. In a similar fashion to Sakura Nagashi, I think they are a refreshing, and mature addition to her discography.

I suppose these songs give us a sense of what to expect for her next album.
