Hmm, Sakura Nagashi triggered a huge Hikki obsession for me. I've been waiting for one so now I'm listening on shuffle. I love this amount of flawlessness touching my ears. I also feel very nostalgic since it's my 6th year as her fan. It's also 10 years since I first heard of her on Christmas when I first played Kingdom Hearts. Gosh, that was one of the best days of my life♥

Another Chance is too awesome♥

I don't know anyone posted it yet, but 桜流し debut on Billboard Japan Hot 100 at no. 4 last week. This week it climbing to no.2, hope it will top the chart next week.

that's how good hikki is!

I don't know. They did use Olivia Lufkin for Dream Drop Distance. ._. Of course, to me it's not a Kingdom Hearts game if the theme song isn't done by Hikki. She's like a soul of those games for me. Without Kingdom Hearts I wouldn't even be a fan like I am now.

I think this can be applied to a lot of fans, including me.

[CoriKaru]

Either I wasn't aware they had used someone else for Dream Drop Distance or I had forgotten. Either way it feels rather strange and I don't like that.

Yeah we hate on them using the same 2 songs from Utada for each game each time, but this.........is wrong.

I wonder if they're over her now and don't care if she comes back or not.

I don't think she's coming back for Kingdom Hearts 3 unless Disney changes their ways and their deal with her, because I know no moves are going to be made on Utada or her dad's side.

[amorphose]

I thought they reused Simple & Clean for Dream Drop Distance? I love OLIVIA too and she's probably the only person I could accept to replace Hikki for the franchise-- but I can't find any info about her ever having done a song for KH anywhere online. Someone help? If this is true, I wanna hear/see!

[Minttulatte]

^Olivia sang a song called "Calling" for Dream Drop Distance.

I don't even want to think how weird KH3 opening movie feels if there's no song by Hikki on the background. Seriously. I'm so used to hear her singing those theme songs. :p

^exactly

OMG I listened to Calling. Seriously worst out of tune song ive ever heard. If they replace Hikki with that talentless ***** I will never play again.

[Bad Wolf]

lol drama queen. OLIVIA has lots of talent. She just has some really eh songs, which Hikki also has in her discography. No artist is immune to a slump. For the most part OLIVIA'S lovely. Dreamcamp, Cupid, Alone in our Castle, Sea me, Space Halo, Ballerina, and Denial are really gorgeous.

[Zahara]

Olivia....talentless?

Brb checking my pulse.

But honestly, Utada should be singing the themes. You made two songs with an artist, keep the trend going!

[emi♡]

Yeah, OLIVIA's pretty talented...she just has her own style. I've tried. Really, but it's just not for me.

[koumori]

OLIVIA is great.

To be honest, I don't really care who sings the theme. It'd be great if that got Hikki back, but she's not the only talented singer in the world so I know the fans will probably hate anyone who's not her though, lol.

Don't even.

[Not Fade Away]

Someone grab Miracle Utada and get her to record the KH theme song.

Whoops *Miracle Hikaru

[Bad Wolf]

If they got Hikki back to sing for Eva, I don't see why this would be a problem tbh. She can still stick to her hiatus, and while I might make jokes that a hiatus usually involves no work, I'd be very happy to learn that she was creating SOMETHING.

[Minttulatte]

Olivia is gorgeous. I love her music too though I haven't listened to it that much yet. It was painful to find some of her albums too but it was worth all that trouble.
