The new english single is called "Come back to me". It's a nice mid-tempo ballad à la Mariah Carey with a piano part that remembers one of her latest japanese single called Stay Gold, Universal Island has made it avaliable here to listen:

Hikki's second english language album (actually it's her 3rd...remember the Cubic U album) will beout on March 4 in Japan and March 24 in the USA!

She's got such a lovely voice
but I still prefer to hear her sing in Japanese
something about that sounds more ethereal to me

where's fauxie?!

Org's not my first thought when trying to get Hikki info, I must admit.

New album's called 'This Is The One'. Surely must be the name of a track on the album. Otherwise it's a bit of an odd album name, to me at least.

From Hikki's myspace blog:



I agree with you about the Japanese over the English. It's not just the singing but the music that's more ethereal. She's really quite a different kind of artist in English, I think.

Her myspace page should have the video for 'Come Back To Me' within the next month. Not sure about those release dates for the album if her EMI website blog are anything to go by.

She's too cute in the vid here

"mic check, mic check, one two, one two..."

She's so poor at this stuff, like overly casual. Same as on the live streaming event for her birthday one year, never knowing what to say. It's cute though.

Remixes are downloadable too, with Download Helper or something similar. Awesome.

Rizzo Mix is great.
