On Aug. 24th, Hikki's big concert with MONICA and TLC was held at NIHON BUDOUKAN, in Tokyo. The event was started 20 minutes late, but when the spectator heard the Introduction of "Automatic," 8000 people cheered and stood up for her. She sang "First Love," "Movin' On Without You," and other songs, in total 7 songs. She was saying "BUDOUKAN (concert hall) is my ROOM!!" At the end of her song, she said "I don't want to go..." with little tears in her eyes.

MONICA came out after hikki with sunflower patterned Japanese KIMONO. (^^) And when TLC came out for the finale, 8000 spectators were dancing like they were in the club house.

Many famous Japanese people came to this concert also, including, Namie Amuro, MAX, Hikaru Nishida, SPEED, Ami Suzuki, Anna Umemiya, Tomoe Shinohara, and lots more!! They all had a great time.

I wish I could have gone to it... Well, I'll probably ask someone in Japan to record the one on TV. It'll be on air on Sep. 19th.
