Will "ULTRA BLUE" be better in your opinion than "(miss)understood"?

[elepop]

Wow, this poll is so close! XD

To be honnest, I'd be very suprised if Hikki sale more than a million.

And I love how they're two totally different genres, and the fact that Utada and Ayu like each other's music.

WINGS is actually my favorite Hikki song.
I get what you mean, about the lightness and the spring day.
Her new stuff definetely beats her old, so refreshing.

[Kikaru]

Am I the only person here that doesn't like Hikki's new music style and wish she goes back to her pre-colors RnB style? I dunno, Hikki's new style is different and new, but IMO she's trying a little too hard to sound original that it just came off wierd...but meh, what do I know...

[truehappiness]

I liked her old style better.

But she's seriously not that good >>
It's like the scary Ayu fans who think anything not Ayu... is 'OMGWTFCRAIZP'. Hikki's music is okay, but it's not really anything special if you think about it. But that depends on your feelings about her :p Same with Ayu songs.

/bleh @ all the recent Hikki releases

lollerskates at you if you think they actually like each other's music.

just because they said it doesn't mean its true. its called putting up a front while in public. a lot of celebrities do it.

you mean, not everything that celebrities say is true???

you catch on quick

[Kikaru]

with them liking each other's music, regardless of what they say, they might, they might now. It's not like we're ever going to know unless we really get to know both of them in person.

[truehappiness]

:/

That's really weird to doubt things that celebs say.. [I've learnt to never trust American celebrities though LOL]~

Whatever. Ayu vs. Hikki comparisons suck. >> Especially when Ayu =/= Hikki. If they were in the same music genre then maybe, but... not even. O_O;

ULTRA BLUE unless it turns out to be another Miss understood "bad"

[Marquez]

Well.. I said (miss)understood is better, 'cos Ayumi is only japanese artist I like and listen. I don't know if Ultra Blue is technically/musically better or is it more popular, but (miss)understood suits better for me.

I think that (miss)understood is a goob album. I like its songs more than (for example) My Story's.

[gjones2323]

just by judging from the clips of Ultra Blue, I think Ultra Blue will be better.

[s1012h]

previewing the whole ULTRA BLUE album
looks as if ULTRA BLUE is the better album than (miss)understood

[MKJPOP]

I really don't like any of Hikki's single lately (I used to like her songs), and I already previewed three new songs from her album, and they are not my taste. I just can't stand her new style, but I'm sure many out there will like this kind of music, but not me. Hikki changed to this style of music with the release of her english album, and this is around the time when her popularity started to lower in Japan with the sliding of her record sale. I know that all record sales slide in recent years, but before Hikki changed her music style, her singles and albums still had big sale in Japan when eveybody's sale slided including Ayu. Do you guys think that there is a connection? Perhaps, many people in Japan don't really prefer this stype of music. From my opinion, I like (miss)understood more. It contains a list of more easy listening tracks than Hikki's Ultra Blue. Still, we really have to see what happens when Ultra Blue comes out.

[spookshow]

at the moment, I'd say missunderstood will do better -- but that's because I absolutely love missunderstood

[natalaxie]

they're totally differnet styles so its so hard to compare..

[Dustie]

I think they will be compareable, due mostly to the fact both Utada an Ayumi have released a lot of singles before their albums, making the albums a bit faded... Only half of the tracklisting is absolutely new songs, and I think that's not enough for a positively surprising album.

It will be good, just like (miss)understood was overall, but... it still feels like I have heard half of it already and the second half is only ok...

[Dreamwriter]

the previews from ULTRA BLUE are georgeous... (miss)understood disappointed me... I think ULTRA BLUE will be better!

[Ayumi^_^]

hmm based on the blue previews, gotta say that m(u) would be the better pick for me because the missunderstood album got me hooked for quiet a long time and i still love it. Ultra Blue from Hikki would be alright but i wont be purchasing the album because didnt really like blue and this is love
