This is just my opinion but I think that Hikki knows her voice very well (and therefore is capable of creating amazing songs) but doesn't control it well enough. Probably lack of vocal training.
That really showed in Utada United. While I loved the show there were some parts where her vocals were lacking. Like in Final Distance.
One of the trademarks of Hikki's music is how she doesn't use that much autotune on her songs. We can hear places where she pushes herself to hit the notes or breathes or something. That's why it's not so jarring when we hear her sing live.
Some singers use so much autotune that they sound like completely different people singing live. They look like drunk people at karaoke rather than professionals.
