I don't think it's fair to have a topic where the title is obviously belittling the other artist that you don't favor. All of us here love Hikki but the comparison between Ayu and Hikki is an old debate that can never be won. Everyone has their own tastes and they will like who they like.

For me I cannot choose one over the other. maybe I will be the only one who says it but I love Ayumi Hamasaki. I have all her albums, DVDs, CMs, whatever you can find dealing with Ayu I probably have. I think she's an amazing artist. Like Hikki, I think her voice is unique, it soothes me, it inspires me, it transports me too another place where I feel no pain or stress from daily life. I can listen to a certain song and just remember exactly how I felt when I first listened to it and how much I love them still to this day. And I think she's beautiful inside and out. Her philosophy about life is something I admire. SHe knows what she wants and she knows how to get it. ANd she has no illusions about life and I only wish I could be like that sometimes.

But that's is not to say that I don't like Hikki any less. I love Hikki. Her voice is unlike any other's. It's haunting, angelic, powerful and soulful. I can feel the emotion behind it deep down to my bones. Her songs and lyrics touch me very deeply and her music alone can make me forget any troubles I have in my life. In fact my favorite song ever and will probably will never be replaced is Be My Last. But yet I only own 2 of Hikki's cd's.


I love both of these artists and I don't think that the amount of merchandise I own from them shows the amount of my appreciation of them. And I love them both for similar reasons but I won't compare them because they cannot be compared. They both have different styles of music. They go about writing, composing and singing music differently. They live life very differently and so they will express themselves differently.

I know that was long and I apologize but I felt like I had to let that out
