No worries, everyone has one's own preference, I'm just saying I trust cdjapan hehe. Afterall I've been ordering albums on that website since DEEP RIVER.

Talking about DEEP RIVER... sigh I was stupid, I didn't specifically request for the first press poster, so cdjapan didn't send me one.

I'm not sure about YA, but apparently if you get a poster from cdjapan, they won't charge extra for the shipping. Last time I receive ayu's Secret with the poster (a long box), and the shipping fee was still the same. .

1) The background of the TV shop = the background of FINAL DISTANCE when two hikki met (separated by glass).

2) There was a kid touching the window of the TV shop, and actually you see he's actually touching a "white statue", separated by the window, so this again resembles FINAL DISTANCE part

3) the running part in the cafe (when she was gonna get the laptop and chased the customer) = traveling

4) walking in the company with lots of guys typing = Passion

5) biking while those weirdo passed by = traveling

6) the white turning thing on the ceiling (the kid sleeping scene) = Dareka

7) The scene where hikki was standing before the train passed by = the moment when hikki stood before the car hit her in Be My Last

8) the dresses in the clothing store = SAKURA DOROPPUSU

That's all I can remember.. can't remember the rest..

wow, i did not know most of these

1. there's a background??...
2. knew
3. was reminded of it but never really payed much attention
4. this one i never was really thinking of passion =\
5. knew
6. actually, now that you mention it, it sorta looks like it
7. also the train itself is traveling sorta (the bunny train XD)
8. someone should buy the dresses XD



also, seeing that kazu directed the (ever-so-horrible) hikari pv:
i'd say when she was brushing her teeth XD;


and in DEEP RIVER, i remember a kid with his (or her?) head on hikki's lap. or maybe it's a reference to hikki herself, when she's laying down in the hut?

[xiaou-xijiang]

okay, back on topic.
Subliminal Messages in Keep Tryin' eh? interesting... (start the conversation again...)

[sora2522]

yea, but i never knew there was THAT much ._.;


EDIT: OMG I JuST REACHED GOLD STAR STATUS!!! *dance*

[Luv ~Venus~]

O_O

*AHEM*

Yes....you're right, Xiaou!

The part where she was in the office walking...is a mimic of how she walked in Passion right? I guess the dance scene in the town square was a mimic of how she danced in Traveling, right?

???

Okay, now that was funny!

OW!!!!!

I'm sorry!

[ayumixfan]

lol first time I enter this thread and I see Luv beating up Sora XD! what a start =D! I agree with Sora about Travelling XD it wasn't really dancing but the PV was AWESOME and song too XD!

[naxxo.licious™]

Hahaha lol. Luv and sora, maybe you're being a little bit off topic, we don't want our Hikki's thread to be closed (...though it's so funny lol)
Anyway, about the Keep Tryin' PV i'm surprised with all those "subliminal" messages. They're a looooot. I gotta rewatch it.
And through some of your comments, i was wondering, how many of you found out hikki whit KH (Kingdom Hearts)??

[sora2522]

sachiko's more interested in blackstone and trapnest






omg i just had a sorta scary idea:









WHAT IF THE KEEP TRYIN' PV WAS THE FAREWELL GIFT FROM KAZU-KUN TO HIKKI?! i mean, they were shaking hands in the making of (and they're MARRIED)




O.O *dies*

[Luv ~Venus~]

^I heard that it was normal for hubby and wifey to shake hands rather to be all luvly dovey in public. Or so I heard!

Btw, Sachiko doesn't like them because of the whole cheating story and stuff that happened between her and Shoji. That's why she likes you and First Love. XD

@gulity:I found out about Hikki like a few months before the whole KHs thing.....I believe. I'm not for sure but I was in the 10the grade when I first heard of her though. Oh, I rewatched the Keep Tryin' PV and I saw most of the secret stuff in the PV...so yaaaaaay! You must hadn't heard of the Passion/KH2 comparasion, huh? (Go to the KH thread in the gaming section to see what I mean?)

Oh i see. Well you've been a fan for a while.
I didn't get anything from the Sachiko, could someone explain me please??
And about the Passion thing, i'm sorry Luv, but i can't see it right now, cause i'm playing the first game, and i don't want any spoilers

Hahaha thank u so much sora. Please everybody avoid the spoilers about KH.
If u feel you could die it if you don't say it, please post it in a "spoiler" way:

Spoiler:

This way

[bluegie]

I just skim through at least a page and it's all about Luv & sora... I didn't know he has that many lovers (well I dun go to the chat room... I just wander around ayu and asian artists forums ).

For the FINAL DISTANCE background... if you look at the zoom out scene when 2 hikki were in that "glass tunnel" (again separated by a piece of glass), you will see the background (3D), and that is exactly the background shown in the tv shop (painted version tho ).

Edit: Oh oh... no no actually the background of the tv shop resembles that "glass tunnel" of FINAL DISTANCE.. (just watching Keep Tryin' now... LOL)

Actually the whole cafe scene resembles traveling, hikki did serve the aliens during the 2nd verse of traveling pv .

[Luv ~Venus~]

^The things in Traveling......where aliens???? I never ever knew that! OMG!

What was Hikki suppose to be...an japanese alien?! OMG! I really didn't know that!

I hope Terrik doesn't get mad.......

Oh the Final Distance thing, I have no clue as to what tunnel your talking about but I'm gonna watch that PV and KT PV again to see what your talking about......thankies bluegie!

[DestinyWishes]

I'm going to have to watch the Keep Tryin' PV some time and see how many little references I can spot.
