firstly praying helps and wouldn't hurt, so when she turns 28 we might wanna ask "Him" to stay more. lots of prayer's powerful enough to handle that. secondly minds change. if she didn't promise to retire and said it was only probable or probably said that when she was with kiriya then its not settled. thirdly, its up to her supporters anyway when the time comes. if it would be an insistent public demand or would say a petition is made for her to continue, then i think she would do so. besides, she would have not made a come back anymore after her previews long break if she only plans to have an early return and produce a few more and if weren't because of her fans so to say. on the other hand its just fair. 4 years is still long and if her raving success pursues she wouldn't just stop would she? again, she loves music and her fans and its her destiny as she says in her compilation. stop posting this topic again, it spoils! the topic startled me so mind changing it? the only thing we could do right now is support her so she'd have a long legacy. try mailing her with words of inspirations and ask her to ponder on this matter. long live hikki!
