Ha wonder who...
its sad how some ppl try to degrade artists when the artists already degrade themselves :rolleyes

I think she looks cute at that meet and greet! :yes

At least her "illness" is done and over with :innocent Now we just gotta see if she actually plans to do anything about TITO or just let it die...

Aww...everybody seems so bored and frustrated with Hikki! SO understandable though...

I listened to Exodus last week and I absolutely love about 1/2 of it!

Anyway, hypothetically, in a sort-of unofficial poll, What would you like from Utada's next Japanese release? (whenever that may be...)

1. An upbeat song, like another Kettobase!
2. A rock-y song, like Drama or uso mitai na
3. A return to RnB ballads
4. A nice piano-based ballad like Dareka no Negai
5. An ethereal/experimental song, continuing UB and HS's sound
6. Another masterpiece like Passion (personally I would not like a song 'like' Passion, i think it would detract from both songs)
7. Other?

I love UB and HS's sound, so more of that please Utada. :)

^Well I would pick 6, a masterpiece like Passion (3rd favorite Hikki song ever) but...I think 5/6 are kinda the same thing.

hee?! she become fat again?
she looks so thin in this is the one cover and promo

Really, how did you guys get by from Deep River to Ultra Blue ( :P )?

I would love for her to try to collaborate with different composers for a new song. :) But I enjoy anything that she comes out with, because I know 'the message' comes from her.

I'd still want for her to try to promote TITO, maybe another live event, similar to what she did for EXODUS?

I wish she'd come to Canada *sigh* haha

Exodus

I would definitely love hikki to reschedule all her in-store appearances & add more places & dates maybe? :lech

always hated this picture of her. ALWAYS.

soooo what's going on with the single release of "This One"?

That pic is awesome, what do you have against it?

Hey guys I haven't been here in a few weeks and I know I missed out on a lot... Is there any major update on our lovely hikki yet! :)

No, there are "rumours" (since they're not confirmed on her official website, but I think it's pretty certain) that there will be a single release of This One (Crying Like a Child) / Dirty Desire, and also a single release of On And On for "overseas", so that might either be China/Taiwan or Europe. Or even Japan / USA. depends completely from where the news came from. To be honest it's a bit blurry to me, I'm waiting for official news.. My hopes are that On And On will be an American single, and This One / Dirty Desire will be a Japanese / European single... Since America already got a ballad.
