If she wouldn't have had Last Friends then HEART STATION wouldn't have had minimal decreases in sales as weeks went by et cetera. |
I mean, that's true of course, but some people make it seem like if she didn't have tie-ins at all, she wouldn't have sold as much as she has in past and present when in fact, that goes for every artists in Japan who has hit it big.

Although she may not really care about it, Hikki would make way more amounts of money if she was to make it big here. It's always been a dream of Hikki's to perform here (in a big way imo). Like I said earlier, Hikki has already went the mainstream route, so I don't get the "she's selling out if she goes mainstream". =/
