^Thanks, she looks cute! :love

Anyway, according to U.Blog, Utada will be on Ryan Seacrest's radio show:

To those who don't know, this is huge. Ryan Seacrest has one of, if not the biggest radio shows in the country.

^ WOW!!! :O

wow if you go on air with Ryan Seacrest's show that's something

& from what I know , the OS press of her album will be out next Tue in Taiwan

great , I don't need to spend so much $ on a Japan press of the album :laugh

her body is all boxy in that photo lol

anyway i love that kissfm interview! the people who called in are just hilarious.

I wonder what song she's gonna sing live on Seacrest's show...I cant believe she's gonna be on it. Thats just...really amazing.

Good that is great promo. I can't wait to see Hikki at all the US award shows :love...if she decides to show up :<

WHY! Howcome everytime Hikki does promotion its ALWAYS on a school day and right under my nose! Ughhh! I could totally go to the LA listening party if it wasnt on a Tues. I could totally tune in to KIISFM @ 7 AM to hear Ryan Seacrest's show if it wasnt a monday! GAH! Well....ALOT of times, they show video footage of interviews on the morning Ryan Seacrest show on E! News @ 7 PM so maybe this will be This is the One's first TV promotional? I think if Utada did a live performance on the radio show, E! would be CRAZY not to show video footage of it on E! News. GRRRRR!

Great to hear she has such a huge opportunity to promote her album!

I loved that interview! It's great!! She sounds like such a humorous and approachable person (even if she is a mega-star)

lol couldn't she just be alittle bit more creative with this backphoto? XD lol I like the photo personally, but its almost the same thing as the cover... lol XD ~! anyways thats good to know it hit number 1 ^^ I really hope TITO hoards in those sales soon lol.

*can't understand the interview because of her hearing problem* >___<;;;


It's not really news, but I thought I'd post it anyway;




Btw, what do the booklets look like from the insides? Both Japanese and US version?
Are the pictures of Utada wearing a white top and black panties in them or are there different pictures? *is so curious*

Sadly I doubt the radio will help much and I really think they should try airing This One.

You mean the outfit from the pictures on utada.com right? With the big-ass sweater and black skirt + leggings + pumps?

Spoilers about the booklet here:

Wait... so was she in Sacramento? *is confused and lives in the area* Or was she just on Ryan Seacrest's show (which is excellent!)?

Care to elaborate on why you think that? It's also doing well on downloads, so I think those factors will definitely help.

Of course :) Well Radio doesn't seem to be such an important factor in Japan nowdays. One of the examples would be the week when Days/GREEN was released, the single was barely played on the radios, while MISIA's and another few received loads of radio airplay but ended up selling less than Days (they didn't even cross 100k in total) and weren't even on Recochoku weekly top 10, while Days was. Come back to me is doing well digitally so that could help a bit, but I think they need to let people hear the other songs from the album :) or at least let her perform live, but sadly the MS Special set list has already been announced so I am guessing they don't intend to promote it in Japan that much.

^I really hate Utada's promotion schedule.....its awesome that she'll be on one of my local morning TV shows......it sucks that I'll be @ school when it airs.....again...she taunts me

That interview was so hilarious. That guy was such in a hurry to get the studio. :laugh

This is huge news! Congrats to Utada for getting into the Pop 100 Airplay.

Holy moly...I am shocked that this album is doing as poorly as it is. O__O Isn't this, like, unprecedented for one of her albums in Japan? I don't follow her sales too much.
