Well, to defend the Hikaru a little bit -- he still seemed unsure if Yume really did have the same type power that Hime & Hotaru did. It took him the first 10 episodes to finally determine Yume did have that power then did nothing but let her grow until episode 21 where he specifically told Sashita that Laura will get her CD debut but Shashita switched the decision to Yume after the performance. That happening and the fear that Yume would have her fame skyrocket too fast (like Hime & Hotaru) caused him to use Hime to smother the sales of her CD debut.

Essentially, he's been trying to be more hands off with Yume but due to her rivalry with Laura (which started to cause Yume to rely on her power), it got to the point where he had to spill after 35 episodes. Moreover, it took Hime spilling the beans first before he even acknowledged anything. Lets not even get to probably how long he took to protect Hime from the power initially either. His style of administration is a stark contrast to Orihime (who as a former idol is much more hands-on) in Aikatsu. That is probably more due to his observer status to Hotaru as he grew up. Moreover, it feels like he wanted Yume to be able to use the Power first so that Yume can then be able to use the Power at command in the future --- setting her up to really be the next Hime (and secure Four Star Academy's future.)

Basically, he seems to be the type to make the decision then doesn't want to bother explaining why he made that decision unless hes pressed into doing so.
