It was 'cause of poor promotion and not because of Hikki why she didn't really hit big in the US. I hope she tries again and I hope that the record label that would handle her or if it would still be def jam, to promote her more properly and give her guestings on shows like TRL and I bet she'd be hell big! I didn't even know she had a US album in 2004 even when I watched MTV almost everyday. We had a project in music about a singer/songwriter and I was chosen to be the leader so I chose Hikki as our singer/songwriter and we did great, we even showed Hikki's First Love PV and some of my classmates were asking me 'bout the song and stuff. Some even were asking me if there was an english version of First Love and of course I said yes, the next day they were saying that the original Japanese version was way better and they were listening to it hehehe I just wish Utada would try again in the international market. You guys agree?
