Ahh I want DEEP RIVER's vinyl! lol. That should be the one to collect! To me it's still her best album . And I still don't understand why the heck Toshiba changed the colour of Distance from greenish (teal/aqua/turquoise?) to that ugly deep red (burgundy...? I'm not good that distinguishing colours lol).

I'm still struggling whether or not to order Hatsukoi's vinyl...

Anywayz. I think the hiatus transformed her into better form. I forgot where she mentioned it, but she said that she didn't really use real instruments when arranging songs before because she couldn't explain to the musicians what she wanted. I guess now she can channel her feeling to them .

The Deep River vinyl I got second hand, and it arrived completely sealed. I haven't been able to bring myself to open it all these years...

HAHAHA I looooooove the Distance cover for vinyl! I wish they did little changes like that to all of the covers. It had a weird effect on it that looks awesome!
I'll take a good picture for you.

EDIT:
Spoiler:


I love the covers compared. The dark makes the album look more intriguing.

Hmmn, the actual product looks better in real life. I only saw the smaller picture before so I didn't know it has the painting effect .
How much was that second hand DR vinyl? It's great that the seller didn't open the vinyl at all .

I bought a sealed Deep River back in 2015/2016 and the cheapest one I found was $200 USD!!! I opened mine though! It's all mine. Never would I ever resell.

They are sooooooooo expensive now! I got First Love and Distance around the same time for about $100 each. First Love was the most expensive, but I had the expendable income at the time. No Regrets.

This waasss...around 2005-2006 I think. Right after Exodus promos I went on a rampage to get it all.

The only thing I'm missing from my Hikki collection is the First Love 3cm single. Still haven't managed that for some reason.

I wish I could afford to get the singles . I only had two singles (and both were not Japanese versions...). You should take another pic with all the singles and albums haha.

ebay is a great place to get cheap older singles!

Here are some photos for you:

Albums


Singles (all those extra Kumas came super cheap from ebay)



Other editions (I'm in Canada, so I picked up a couple duplicates when they were released here)


DVDs

I need to eventually get Distance and First Love. I get notifications for them on Discogs all the time now though usually between $50 and $100. I've only got Deep River, the Hikari promo, and all the Exodus singles on vinyl. And soon to be Hatsukoi

Wow, you're truly a hardcore hikki fan . Looking back, her single covers during DR era were the best ones .

I'm still thinking whether I should buy Hatsukoi's vinyl or not... Darn it's appealing that I wanna get it as a collection...

Apparently Eminem sampled Simple and Clean for Good Guy from his new album: https://hypebeast.com/2018/9/eminem-...ample-good-guy

It’s processed beyond recognition though haha, I wouldn’t have known before this article.

Wow. I can't recognized it as well, not even hikki's voice. He simply chopped the song (or sample) into pieces.

I saw this news too! All these websites had big headlines about it and then when I listened to the song I was like, that's it?
It's unrecognizable. It kind of defeats the purpose of sampling it in my opinion.

Yeah. Honestly when I heard the song, I thought hikki's voice sounded like a ghost moaning. It totally defeated the feeling of Simple and Clean (or Hikari), which gave me a hot sunny imagine. KOHH did a better job when he sampled Sakura Doroppusu .

May I ask how many people here have preordered Hatsukoi vinyl...?
