Well, since I'm such a big fan, Hikki has become known to at least most of my friends.

Friend #1: Giant Kumi fan, but she likes most of what she hears from Hikaru, especially hikari and Can You Keep A Secret? Also, she got me into the J-pop thing.

Friend #2: Likes the Kingdom Hearts theme songs. I let him listen to the opening of Passion one day at lunch and he was all like, 'omg what's she saying?!?!' And I was like: '...It's in Japanese, how am I supposed to know?! (/lies)'

Friend #3: Likes some of the songs from Exodus. He especially likes Easy Breezy's ending. "She's got a new microphone, she doesn't need you anymore~" I let him listen to Sanctuary, Passion, and Tokyo NIGHTS, and he seems pretty open-minded since he lurved Sanctuary and said Tokyo NIGHTS seemed like something they'd play at a Japanese bar. I disagreed, but not verbally...

Friend #4: (Upon finding me Googling Hikki on a school computer) Is that your Japanese girl again?

Friend #5: (says Hikki's full name) I can't even pronounce that!!!

Random chick in band class: "A little birdy told me you like Japanese music..."
Me: (looks around) "...Which one?"

Turns out the random chick from band class is the best friend of the sister of Friend #1. So yes... it was inevitable that she would find out. She even offered to burn me some songs~ Too bad I have the Internet! But I did feel kind of rude for not taking her up on the offer... Oh well.

So... what do YOUR friends think of Hikki? Do they like her, hate her, think she's meh?

I don't have too many friends that listen to Jpop. My boyfriend is starting to like Utada because of me. And I have two other friends that listen to Utada too, and they like her as well and into Jpop as well. But most of my friends don't listen, but they know of her because I listen to her. xP

Since my family is of Mexican descent,
they sort of look at me at first and ask if it's "Chinese."
So it's not that they hate Utada, but the fact that they just don't understand what she's saying and it sounds weird to them.
Totally understandable.

But about 1/3 of my friends listen to j-pop and most of that fraction have never even HEARD of Utada unless i mention Kingdom Hearts music somewhere in the topic
