Well she could be an occasional smoker at best and she probably was stressed out about stuff and also sad that Michael Jackson was gone (it was a pretty depressing day truthfully). She might retire and she might not, we'll never know unless it actually happens. I honestly think she could use a well deserved break to just relax and maybe start a family lol! It'll be sad if she does but at least we'll have her older stuff to listen to and enjoy!

I was kinda scared for her to get big in the U.S. because of the paparazzi bothering her and I would think that she would want to remain somewhat anonymous here in the U.S. since she's already huge in Japan.

I don't think she's scared of her fans here 'cuz of the Sephora events but maybe she was just shocked that so many showed up and she didn't know how to take it lol. I don't blame the fans that were there for screaming their heads off and being excited though. I wouldn't have done the same but I have a reason... I'm pretty shy lol. I would've just stood and stared in disbelief thinking, "Wow Hikki is here? Am I dreaming or what?"

If I was her I wouldn't want to get too famous here either. I would love for her to get noticed here don't get me wrong but I don't blame her if she doesn't want to get really famous here.
