OMG! I thought this was true, Cloud!

Hmmm.....I don't think Hikki will release a single after her HS. PoL would be a good single to release but after HE/SG, I just don't see it happening! It has a great incentive though.

Is she serious? LOL.

lmao, agreed xDD I didn't really care for POL that much, but maybe the quiet version will change my mind :3 But wow, what a random single O_o

ALSO, has anyone noticed the FOL connection? xD Hikki's wearing hoodies in both and they're both taken from the same side view!

[AyuGAME]

koda and then ayu and then ken and then hikki make a rip off single too?!?!?!
its a trend right now?

Ken, Hikki and Koda did not add more to the songs that they rereleased.

Ayu made it into a full 5 min+ song.. :|~ Plus Mirror wasn't even a song, it was an introduction. :|

It's not a joke. See it in Toshiba-EMI page. xD

Wow. I knew Prisoner of Love was a popular track from HS, but I didn't see this coming. Oh, well. Prisoner of Love is one of my favorite tracks from HS, and I'm glad that it's getting its own PV.

I'm a little skeptical about the tracklist, though. But Hikki will probably make a new, awesome track.

[AyuGAME]

^yeah i agree, ayu did a different thing, she made short to full song...
even use a different title...
but this? OMG!!! i'm shocked that so many top JPOP artist do the same thing

Would this count as a recut single?

Of course

Anyway, I'm really hyped about this. We get a PV and the instrumentals!!!!!!

[Jwiz]

''-Quiet Version- '' >.<

I wish there's additonal of at least one song in this single. But prisoner of love is considered a hit song so maybe this single could sell well.

[UHPlus]

duh! It's what we called a re-cut single >_< Remember SURREAL? AUDIENCE? Daybreak?

At first i thought it's a April fool joke after seeing the cover...then i realized that it's not 1st April anymore... -_-

You need to stop.





And FYI, recut singles are generally defined as recut straight from the album. :| The "same song" is 2-3 minutes longer than the "album cut" :|

are you saying that to me or hikki? >_<

I think the reasons why she put out a single for Prisoner of Love are that first: it's a tie-up song for a drama. 2nd: She filmed a Pv of it and it need to be in somewhere! And thirdly, she mentioned she loved the song alot! ...

I think it's good cuz now we got at least 1 more decent PV in her UH5 Video Collection!

Wasn't SURREAL released on like the same day as Duty though? Does that even make it a recut single?

And anyways, I don't care for the song, so I don't care about the release either. I don't see it being successful after HEART STATION already releasing though. Blah...

Actually, "Last Friends", the drama which will feature this song, is (IMO) the powerhouse of the Spring. Artistes like Ueno Juri (Nodame), Nagasawa Masami (Proposal Daisakusen), Eita (Orange Days, WATER BOYS, Atsu-Hime), and Nishikido Ryo (1 Litre, vocalist for NEWS) really kill, to be honest. So many big names starring in one drama is bound to bring A LOT of attention. So those that didn't purchase HEART STATION will (or the single), and if the -quiet version- is featured, then that'll boost sales, chaku-uta or otherwise.
