The danger with public journals and that is the closest description I would give to a ?blog? is that when these public journals stop abruptly the public that regularly read these journals react accordingly, why have they stopped?

But there is a subtle difference when these public journals are directly connected to provide insights into Hikki?s lifestyle?, that of a ? Pop Star?, the music industry and the very act of promotion, publicity, branding, and marketing, makes these fans paying customers, the financial tools that defines success or not, that is why the music industry positively encourages fans to take an active part in Hikki's life, to keep that customer ?on message? focused and keen to purchase that new CD.

So can anybody complain when fans feel neglected when Hikki goes ?missing?.

In Japan that is not a problem, Hikki?s status is that of a mega star, ?Princess of Pop ?, every new release guaranteed to be a huge hit.

Now lets look at the other side of the coin, in the US and also in the UK the cultures have been producing these mega ?Pop Stars? for over 70 years, and comes with an unforgiving public and press, this is a tough music business to become successful in and Hikki could be finding this difficult to handle.

There is so much to learn about Hikki from Utadanet that I had no recollection of before.

Hikki needs to establish her unique talent for song writing on her own grounds, and this takes time and ?that? word patience, maybe there is something Hikki and I have in common patience or a lack of it.
