^ Yeap, it's Namie! Hahahaha... Actually we use some really mean terms, but I think some people around here would be ofended if I say which ones xD Even if I use the worst terms with the singers I love the most :P

Oh, please don't misunderstand, we weren't *really* calling her fat. She just has more meat on her than most girls on the J scene. And we actually like that ( :yes ).

^Oh I wasn't saying I disagreed. :P I know Hikki is kinda fat. LOL. I was just saying for her height its not that bad. And yeah, I think she's better that way too.

oh i love that photoshoot for CD DATA~ i like the black and white pictures better, is there any other amazing photoshoot? like maybe with long hair instead?

Hikki doesn't look fat in her recent US interviews ^^

I know this conversation is a few days back...but the person you quoted I disagree with, you I agree with. Utada just wants a successful career, I highly doubt she cares about ALL the money...maybe some of it, but not all of it. She's more concerned about getting her music PERFECT and making sure her fans will love it, which 9/10 times they usually do! If she were to breakout in the US it would be phenomenal and impressive.

^Um actually...no LOL. She's just fulfilling her contract with IDJ...sad to say...If she really cared about her fans she would probably start by...uh...promoting maybe...><

What about her "frequently-updated" blog? :)

I'm so glad she always lets her fans know what she's up to :) *cough*

OK now I'm just being bittered, I love her to death but PLEASE hikki :weep I miss you so much

I wouldn't say that she is concerned about doing music her fans like too... IMO she just releases what she feels like releasing at the moment and wait for the feedback... The money is more like a sign that she is releasing popular music than the goal... like... TITO is not meant to be pleasant to her fans, it's the way the took to say if she can produce popular music for a different market...

I don't like artists that release too much things thinking on their fans... Cuz they always play too safefor my tastes

Is it just me or is this pic horribly unflattering? @_@
