Me too. Suddenly I really want to hear the full version of Hatsukoi (a clean one, not the one in the drama). I think I'm already addicted to that song, and it's such a pain to wait for another 20+ days.

Wonder why no CD+DVD/Blu-ray format for the PVs she made so far for this album.

Just wondering.....

bluegie · #**203** 9th May 2018, 06:22 AM

Cuz she's hikki, who never releases multi-formats yet still at the top of the game

. (I almost wrote "she never released CD+DVD," but she did once during Single Collection Vol. 2, with just a single pv lol).

Same! I am so impatient for that song in particular.

Chibi-Chan · #**206** 10th May 2018, 02:17 PM

Too bad the tour starts in Novemver, I'm currently in Tokyo but will be back in Germany mid October =( I would have really liked to see her.

DeepRiver · #**207** 15th May 2018, 08:45 PM

Cover :

You can find the Tracklist on her Website ...

There will be a new song (Good Night) for the anime Pinguin Highway

Ugh I love the cover. It's so simple yet beautiful.

ladyluthien · #**209** 15th May 2018, 09:02 PM

Beautiful cover

Akutenshi · #**210** 15th May 2018, 09:04 PM

Tracklist:

01. Play A Love Song
02. あなた (Anata; You)
03. 初恋 (Hatsukoi; First Love)
04. 誓い (Chikai; Oath)
05. Forevermore
06. Too Proud featuring Jevon
07. Good Night
08. パクチーの唄 (Pakuchii No Uta)
09. 残り香 (Nokoriga)
10. 大空で抱きしめて (Oozora de Dakishimete; Embrace Me Under the Big Sky)
11. 夕凪 (Yuunagi)
12. 嫉妬されるべき人生 (Shittosarerubeki Jinsei)

Some (very rough) translation ideas - I don't speak Japanese at all but from the research I've done, this is what I've gathered:

08. Song of Coriander/Coriander Song
09. Lingering Scent
11. Evening Calm

No real clue about 12. Maybe "To Envy Life/To Be Jealous of Life"? Again, not a speaker at all, just from what I've looked up in various places.

DeepRiver · #**211** 15th May 2018, 09:36 PM

Who is Jevon? Do i have to know him?

hud · #**212** 15th May 2018, 10:05 PM

I love the cover!

Good Night preview

JackieRos · #**214** 16th May 2018, 12:09 AM

Classic Hikki cover, I love it. It’s almost like First Love.

EndOfTheWorld · #**215** 16th May 2018, 12:30 AM

I can't believe the new album is getting closer and closer. It feels like it's moving quickly. I love the clean and fresh aesthetic of the cover art.
And that penguin anime looks sooo cute.

Baco__ · #**216** 16th May 2018, 04:21 AM

The site said tickets for the lottery of her tour will be distributed within first press versions of hatsukoi. I already bought mine just because of this hahaha

I don't really know how to translate this, but I guess the last track is something like "the life to be really jealous of/the life we should be jealous of/the life we should envy"

So, I love all of this. I love that the title is Hatsukoi. I love that the cover is a total throwback to First Love.

I just want a big ballad on here a-la First Love. If she doesn't have a memorable, huge ballad on here, I'm going to resent her for it. I'm sorry, but I will. I'll like the album. I'll love Hikki for doing it. But I will absolutely never get over the disappointment of this album not having a career-defining ballad on it.

I'm watching you, Hikki...

Is this still first press? Can someone let me know?

Baco__ · #**219** 16th May 2018, 10:15 AM

My friend, Hikki already had her career defining ballad lmao

bluegie · #**220** 16th May 2018, 10:25 AM

The cover is beautiful, I just wish her expression is a bit softer. Nonetheless she continues her big head shot and it gives a vibe of Hatsukoi

. There are 8 new songs (seems a lot), but I'm sure most of us have already heard 初恋 and a fragment of 誓い, so technically there are 6 new songs. I'm not going to listen any preview from now on. I will, however, get 初恋 for sure on the 30th, because the melody sticks inside my head and I can't get rid of it (there's no reason to get rid of it anyway...).
