Hi. I just dropped by to say Oh, My, God. - Pronounced in the way Janice from Friends would.
I was a huge hardcore H!P fan back in the day. I am still a fan, just maybe not as much as I used to. Anyway, after listening to the cover I just felt compelled to say something. This woman is amazing. She keeps counting birthdays, but she just looks as young as she did a decade ago and her voice has improved if anything. Pure talent.
I was deeply displeased when she retired but I completely understood the situation, with her mother's decease and everything. And then all the marital life trouble, which I can only assume is fine now. I just hope she gets back on track with music! She was born to be a soloist.
I mean, why else would you perform on the biggest tv event of the year if you weren't going somewhere with it, right? Why perform next to the top-selling artists of the moment (AKB), if you did not have second motives in mind? Why would you cover what is probably one of the most trendy songs and artists in Japan right now if you didn't plan to do something else with that exposure? Why would you do an online live? I mean, to me, it all points to an immediate comeback.
It is my guess that she's using the live event to calculate the amount of people she can still get onboard, and take a decision based on that. Or maybe the decision is already taken and she might even be singing some new song and announcing some new single or album at the event. If only! A voice like this needs to be shared with the world.
