I sure hope so. She always seems to struggle with her songs now. She does a beautiful job regardless, but another of my favorite singers got vocal surgery after straining her voice during one of her tours (I'm pretty sure she also took a lengthy break from blogging during that period if I remember correctly), and now her voice is much, much better. I saw her live a couple of months ago, and she sang songs she recorded when her voice was hurting, and the difference was highly noticeable.
Also, this would explain why Hikki has been completely missing for so long; I think after vocal surgery there's something like a month-long period where you aren't allowed to use your voice. It's really intense. On the other hand, if she did get the surgery, her voice will be AMAZING when she re-appears. Maybe they're just upping the anti so that at some point she'll schedule a random performance on television and when she sings everyone will be totally blown away. xD

And now can I just say that I totally freaking love the PLANiTb remix of "Beautiful World"? The original was really ethereal and wicked (in a good way), but this one has a bit more of a comfortable pop/rock feel to it somehow. Plus, it's almost completely renovated except for vocals, so it seems like a whole new song, not just a remix. :3
