I love how Utada can just leak two natural photos - beautiful, yes - and everyone goes insane :laugh If Ayu did that it'd be like "...and what?"

But I do like the photos, I hope they're for something significent.

YAY finally get to see Utada again..I like the concept of the photos. Gives off the serenity no doubt.

Well, ayu's fashion standard is way higher compared to hikki (we all agree with that rite? :lech). If ayu's taking a shot with a natural background like that, it'll be fine. But then she's gotta wear something trendy yet capable of blending in with the nature :P.

So... anywayz is that Mount Fuji?

If Ayu ever did a "natural" shot, it'll look just like the S/S cover. But Hikki's new pics give me bittersweet feelings no doubt.

*random appearance*

I like the new french song lol
reading most of the commentaries made me think it was gonna be crap, but nope, its alright

utada has certain quality of music, which doesn't really go down, or too up, it stays the same

and its cool that she tries new things, like singing in french a lot more this time for example.

cool cool

I remember that when she was around 16 - 17 (?? it's from her Addicted To You --> Distance period anywayz), she didn't like her dad cuz he was controlling + he didn't in good terms w/ her mom. Then later on she was with her dad side all of the sudden. I'm kinda confused for that. I think she must be lonely when she was young. When she married Kiriya she thought she would be protected and had someone to lean on. But then she realized that she was still alone and could not depend on kiriya. With additional reasons (like... their thoughts were not in the same direction?) they divorced in the end.

I guess she handled it pretty well, consider she didn't shave her head, didn't locked herself in the house for hours until the cops and firemen took her away. :P

A radio show host tryed to make her bash Britney in the USA, saying that Britney had no talent and specting Hikki to agree with him, and she said something about being pity cuz she could see herself on the same situation or something...

God how can you release a best of album after only 2 albums? Basically combining both albums together with a bunch of remixes. Completely pointless. :/

That's soooo ridiculous. smh

Because she never intends to come back and make anymore albums.

So in a way it's viable. Besides. It has been years since Exodus.

I wish there were more exodus songs on the tracklist...but I guess I can see why she only included those...

You know what would be better?

UTADA the Best + In The Flesh live CD

But again, they half ass everything and think every little thing she releases is pure gold...and again the fans will lap it up...so :shrug

^ack you reminded me I'm supposed to spam her muahahaha

yeah extra english songs would have great. This all is just....meh....

I wouldnt call that Best

Spam hikki time when she's on twitter? Oh yes.
