The thing is - Hikki doesn't really promote in Japan or Asia, either. She herself has said that. They do a few commercials, and she sings maybe on a music program or two. That's about it. I'm sure that the Sephora events were very interesting for her. Yes, the radio stuff was probably a bit repetitive and boring - but as mentioned, a few of them stand out and it did seem as though she was having fun.

It feels late in the game now. It seems like she doesn't care about how TITO does. That Myspace contest is still in purgatory, for instance.

This whole thing feels very irresponsible. But I doubt that she'd be unprofessional enough to call promotion quits because she doesn't enjoy what she's doing in the US. If that were so - then she'd be really spoiled. And for the record, she seems far too down-to-earth for that diva-like attitude.
