I agree completely. And I don't know what everyone is talking about. 'Blue' originally sounds that way and I loved her performance of it. She put on a great show regardless of some flat notes here and there. |

Listen to Blue on the CD and then listen to her wildife performance of the song. She hits all the high notes. The only songs that she was flat on was in the beginning but she warmed up and her vocals were quite good after that. Letters and beautiful World were shaky but Prisoner of love, take 5, Passion, show me love, Blue, sakura drops, stay gold etc etc... were awesome! You people need to understand that post UU06 (vocal chord damage) she is not the same singer but she can still sing beautifully and better then 90% of the singers in America. She sang Hymn la Amour and Across the Universe like they were the easiest songs in the world to sing because she didn't write them. Hikki writes beautiful but very difficult songs to sing that are up tempo and contain a ton of transitions between low, high and medium. Artist don't even attempt to cover her songs from fear of sounding awful ( see namie amure's cover of Kettobase). Give Hikki a break (pun unintended), she is amazing and doesn't deserve this microscopic critiquing from her fans. Stop dwelling on a few flat notes and enjoy the concert. Hikki 4 Life! |

I second that. But on the previous note, I still stand on what I've said. That I don't think 8th was horrid. It may at some point, but as you said, seeing Hikki singing and giving all of her is the most priceless thing in this concert. I've got a poor Japanese to understand what she said on the MCs and even the lyrics of the song but the way she spoke and sang.. It's so precious. Anyone who knows how hard she worked for every single song she made would be emotional by it. |

My thoughts exactly. The mere fact that she put on these concerts and gave it her all is good enough for me. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the songs that she was a bit 'off' on the first night, she was great on the second night. That said, I really can't wait for the release. |

Wouldn't deny that she really put effort into her performance. It was obvious so I'm giving her thumbs up for that. Despite the failure to hit notes and so on, it was really evident she was trying her best (and putting lots of emotions in it -- one of the main reasons why I love her as a musician) and that actually made me sad. Don't ask me why. I just don't know why. The whole hiatus, Wild-Life thing is making me emotional. Yes, I'm aware she still has a contract bla bla.

yeah, I notice that in alot of the concerts I've been to, when you're actually there with the crowd it's really hard to tell if the singer's voice is shaky or not plus the excitement of the people around gets you pumped up too much too hehe |

Well, I would not describe it as horrid. It wasn't horrid at all. Although, yes I'am aware that she fails on most of her performance. For the record, I've seen Wild Life 7x in a row. There are times that she hits this note, then after a while she could barely hit another note. I'm pretty sure this all started during UU06. The time when I think she struggles too much with her voice.
Wild Life performance of Hymne a l'amour, Stay Gold, Passion(although at the end part she slipped), First Love & Can't wait til' Christmas are good enough. I know for a fact that Hikki tried and gave her best for this concert. I couldn't say that she wasn't prepared for this day. She is, it's just that.. her voice is not in a good condition for most of us to tell. And, yeah.. Hikki trying so hard to perform her songs on the 8th kinda suffered me. Specially when she sang Blue. She fails to reach the high notes. But I'am actually glad that she was giving her best at that time. PS: I haven't downloaded the mp3-rip of the 9th performance due to a slow net connection, but maybe I could comment again if I'd hear it. |
