I was also surprized that there were only a couple of replies when she tweeted about her doing a song. that makes me kinda worried how her comeback will end up. But i trust her. I expect her to sell, somewhere around how Namie sells.. But ughhhh she needs to have a stronger promotion.

Amazing news. I can't wait to hear the song! I hope it's upbeat.

I see what you did there, sir.

YAAAAAS HIKKI YAAAAAAAAS

I miss her promoting singles on TV. I guess there are zero chances that she'll make at least one live appearance.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

So that limited edition single collection vol. 1 and 2 kuma USB is getting a wide release. It's up at yesasia and the likes. I'm really tempted...

Release date is March 9, 2016.

Damn, it's cheaper for me to use CDJ but I can't remember if they charge me immediately or when my order ships.

[chocopockymaster]

^ when your order ships, iirc!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'm happy but I just have this feeling it'll be a ballad which woukd make me sad lol. Not that I don't like her ballads, they're fantastic. But it's just been extra long since something upbeat haha.

Is there any TV show left? Heyx3 ended, Popjam, Music Shower, lots of them ended

I think Music Station is the only one left...

Music Station, Love Music, Music Japan, CDTV, Buzz Rhythm, KANJAM, Melodix!, Music Fair, ... More than enough

[hayasaki]

I wish there'd be a comeback tour or for the least a concert with two or three dates like what she did for Wild Life.

[Minttulatte]

So now the comeback is official? Well then...

I'M SO HAPPY I COULD DIE AND BE REVIVED JUST TO HEAR THIS NEW SONGGGGGGGG~~~~~~~~~~

I can't handle my excitement! ;_____;

If you use a credit card they make the authorization immediately but they don't charge you until after it's been shipped. I think they make all their charges bi-weekly. I've had stuff shipped then not been charged until 2 weeks later. I could be wrong, but that's how it's worked for me.

More information on the new single should be coming soon. A little more than 30 days until this drama begins airing, right?

[bluegie]

Sigh... I thought new single's info was out...

[thinkingoutloud89]

a tie-in does no garant for a release. Miliyahs Megumi no Hikari was a theme song at the beginning of 2014 and just released in her album yesterday... and there are many other examples

[ahtka-chan]

^I think in Hikki's case, specially because she's been gone for so long, we're getting a digital single at least

But in the past, Stay Gold was used as a tie-in for Asience and it took a while for the song to be released in full

[amorphose]

^I thought the HEART STATION / Stay Gold single came out right around the time that commercial was being run?

I'll be really surprised if they don't do a physical release. Even if it's just a DVD single like Sakura Nagashi.

[ahtka-chan]

^I think the single dropped three or four weeks after the CM started running.

Also, it's (almost) confirmed that Hikki is releasing a new theme song for News ZERO on April 4th

All those rumors that came out last year are becoming true <3

I wonder if it applies to the rumors that said she was working on KH3 theme song

[amorphose]

So this is TWO new songs now! That's amazing. Both in just a month! Maybe that new album really will come out this Spring!
