There?s are no flies on BoA, she does the business, and has the ambition to succeed, now at 26 Hikki needs to ratchet up her profile, and do the promo, Utada should be devoting the same amount of attention to TITO.... that?s total and undivided attention?..not holiday gigs in Hawaii..

A failed attempt is still a fail.I personally would like to see her release Dirty Desire or MCML before she give up on this thing but what it it's not up to her?Def Jam Island obvious seems to be HORRIBLE at pushing new artist.I appreciate them doing the Sephora thing but she needs some press coverage.If she can give us a year of attention then this album issue can solve itself.Buy Hikki seems to be the type that will accept a failure for what it is and walk away from it.

To borrow a boxing analogy, TITO may be down but not out, I will not subscribe to the notion that because TITO did not make the US top 20 that this constitutes failure, I know that a significant number of media scribes, and fans have been disappointed with TITO, would it be disingenuous of me to include LoBFCanti amongst the Hikki?s faithfull, that have voiced a degree of scepticism that TITO is less that expectations demand , the controversy surrounding ill health ,petulance, an obstinate refusal to undertake or resume US promotional or publicity engagements , vital to TITO future success, is becoming noticeable.
The winners of the TITO Karaoke contest and the event that followed should have been afforded full media coverage, after all the whole competition was to be promotional tool to give TITO media exposure, one photo, one miserly photo, where?s the TITO visual support?, nowhere to be seen.
BoA on the other hand is rampant, confident with total self belief, a never say die attitude, the determination to achieve more.
I just want Hikki to go back to the US and release a double A second single, with possible revised tracks with Rafael Moreira, but this time supported by prime time TV coverage and serious radio airplay, Hikki is a proven professional song writer and musician with a track record for success, that in Japan is second to none....

You could well be right and Hikki might just walk away....I have done that myself once or twice only to bitterly regret it later
