she'll be back like bluefighters09 said...

- if hikki was pregnant.. i am sure the fan encounter earlier in april would had not failed to mention it...

- hikki told the fan and i quote "But she said that she?s currently working on a few projects that she couldn?t really talk about but new stuff is coming soon!".. more evidence that she is working on things for her return... when? how soon? let's not speculate... good things come to those who wait...

- she just needs time to learn and re-experience about what she missed out in her 12 years as an artists... she had missed out a lot of things that we outselves get to experience as a normal teenager and she feels the need to learn self reliance instead of depending on teruzane and the team behind her back... she did clarify that in the NHK interview with chris on the reason of her hiatus... you do have to remember that she is creeping into her 30's by next year and it will not be good that $ aside, she still does not know how to take care of herself independently...

- furthermore, the experience gained during her hiatus would be good material for her to write on and it just creates more anticipation for her fans on her return like how apple does it with their iDevices... no one is gripping to apple about that... why hikaru?

unless 21st December is happening... she'd be back and you can count on that...
