What happened to [Utada Hikaru]The Goddess of the Storm is Showing us Love by singing her Hymne a l'amour because she Can't Wait 'til Xmas in her 40th thread!! ? :weep
|
I killed it. :evillaugh
|
^u r so going to hell when u die! u______________ú
|
OMG! Utada is alive =OO. Thanks for the news =D
|
Since Hikki's releasing her single collection in November, the sales will be counted towards next year's numbers, right?
Kana's already got this year locked up for sure but I wonder about next year and the album that it will inevitably bring? It'll just be creepy if she manages to outsell Hikki. :eyebrow |

some gifs here
some info here some post about the thread here :laugh love it |
This album will be counted towards this years sales.
2011 Oricon year starts in December I believe. |
I'm rediscovering her lyrics. This woman is.. unbelievably talented. Realizing this, it makes me even more sad she won't be making music for a long time after SCv2. I'm sad now :(
A story that will end emotionally Began that day when you said "I love you" I can't wait patiently for the start of the second half Instead of endlessly doubting I want to hear that dubious "I love you" Until the end, always always I look back on the fleeing shadows along the road The "I love you" you said that day I can't help chasing after it, always always |
The Kumas are so cute <3

What are your guys' predictions for what the songs will sound like? :D I think "Arashi no Megami" will be a Take 5 / kairo / Passion-esque song. "Show Me Love" makes me imagine something like First Love meets Deep River/Ultra Blue. I have a feeling it'll blend her old and new together like Exodus but more listener-friendly. I think "Goodbye Happiness" is almost certainly going to be a ballad. Maybe like Dareka no or more R&B like PoL... And I think "Can't Wait 'Til Christmas" will either be a jazzy, christmas song or something like Nichyo no Asa. :)
I saw this post at the U.Blog too and think it'll be really interesting if this guy's hunch is correct: Quote:

^Yes!! I didn't memorize the translation of Uso, but there aren't many hikki songs with the phrase "I love you" :P.
Hey I didn't notice that big starry picture with kuma flying in the morning... Did you make that Polyrhythm? It's kawaii :D |
When did Utada say anything about writing a song concerning her hiatus? I can't recall anything.
"Can’t Wait ‘Til Christmas" has the potential to be the next "Boku wa Kuma" in my opinion, but if we're lucky, it'll be more "Niji iro BASU" instead. Quote:

Haha this made my day :laugh
DUUUDE! I'm 27! RT @106th: if u dont know @utadahikaru u probably should... and she's 29 now |
I didn't know Hikki was even taking a break after this! Where have I been?!

Woah that's weird...that tweet is towards the bottom for me~
But ah! I think you do have to make an account to see her latest tweets! |
i saw that tweet too! so hilarious.wuahahahhaa.i can't stop laughing while reading hikki's reply
|
Haha I can just imagine her face palming when she read that tweet :laugh
And that guy has been a fan of Hikki's for 10 years :laugh |
LOL! really?he mentioned about that on twitter?
|
Haha yeah~ Here was his tweet
LMAOOOO one of my fav artists for 10 years just @ replied me AND RT me... why? bc my dumb ass got her age wrong! Sorry @utadahikaru LOL! and apparently every single fan from Twitter replied to him for his mistake :laugh |
hahahahaha.

|
I LOLed hard at his comment. I felt so bad for him! xD
I know how he feels because, even though I'm not sure if Ayu noticed, the tweet Ayu replied to (mine, in my signature) I had misspellings and misplaced words. I felt like a retard. :laugh |
Keep the new banner for the first post or use the one from thread 39?
|
Hikki tweets:
I "visited" my grandparents today at the NY Buddhist Church. Held the urns that hold their bones' ashes. It was kinda like holding a baby. It was something I'd wanted to do for a long time. I'd like to be cremated too, and be held by my children and grandchildren after I die :) edit: and her next tweet kinda made me smile, even though it's serious business: They're also in Japan. Good thing about ashes :) RT @XmanNYC71: surprised your grandparents ashes were in NY. I thought they'd be in japan. |

PS: ah well it's time for me to get a new computer. My screen was so dark that I didn't notice hikki at the bottom left corner of the banner until I highlighted the banner... :shakehead.. |
She seens to have a bitter sense of humour from her replies xD
I like it xDDD |
we don't have that hymn song yet? lol it's on iTunes JP now :)
|
twitter confuses me that's why I stay away.
man I love the banner gif |
I'm getting impatient...lol
|
I want to hear the song so badly lol.
|
Quote:
Love the starting post as well! ^^ |
Here's the full song :)
Hymne à l'amour ~Ai no Anthem~ http://www.mediafire.com/?oa1jyng2j0heni2 (Credits: perpetualmotion) |
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! THANKS :D
|
WELL FINALLY. Thank you!
|
I don't think words can express how incredibly disappointed in this track I am.
|
^I hope someone does.
Hopefully the other songs are better. sigh |
neither synth pop, neither r&b, still, gorgeous xD I'm listening it for the 5th time in a row!
|
bye.

I listened to this song while driving. First listen didn't do much for me. But the 2nd listen was so relaxing. It makes me enjoying my day more :D. |
^Now it's official! 2010 is a good year for me jpop-wise xD
|
Grrrr....scared to download it cause I'm at home....I'll listen when I get home tonight.
NVM: It was on Youtube...... :thud. its so different. Amazing as usual. Duh. |
I like the new song, but not really as a song that's serious...just as a song that she wanted to do...more like a bonus song.
unless she decides to go in this direction...which, no offense but lol I'm personally disappointed because I wanted something...not like a bonus song lol but it's a cool song and I know it's very "her"...it's just not what I want from her. You know, she can release these types of songs alongside her actual music... Oh well. |
a bit unusual, but i fits hikki's style. she sings r&b and this seems to be right up her specialty. I definitely can see this as a song on her distance album.
|
It's really different but I like it. The middle of the song is amazing <3.
|
:^D

Hm. The semi-insane, jazzy instrumentals going on are kinda annoying and not really my taste. Her vocals and the song is great though. It's a 3/6 for me, not that impressed. But I guess she's doing what she wants to do know; this new jazz direction. And that's fine by me.
|
Quote:
I dun think her other new songs will be similar to this one. So there will be something you wanted for sure :D. |
^I don't know...it seems like something she would like to do...
and the fact that she's taking up one of the five slots with it...Ew. Whatever hikki. Something is better than nothing right? I hope you're right about the other songs. |
I love how the instrumentals sound as if it were improvised, even when she's kinda doing towards the end. I guess that's why I love jazz.
Really refreshing stuff. I like. |
Oh God!!! I never really expected myself from loving this song the first time i heard it!!! lol It's insanely great!!!! XD
|
I hate the song. Her vocals are good, but the music is terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
|
wow.the middle of the song is cool~! ♥♥♥
but i don't know how to appreciate french song XD |
Quote:
the worst part though is the pan flute! gtfo with that! |
No, the worst part is the song! lol
|
Ugghhh...i don't like it...
i do enjoy jazz music, but this one is too heavy... the background beat is so...uggghh...haunting... |

1 month 15 days to go~♥ they have uploaded the preview for the disc 1 on the official site already |
Quote:
Btw, now that I think of it, someone needs to tweet the hell out of hikki until she gives us the full version of "COLORS (Godson Mix)". :D |
Im not loving it..not a jazz fan.
|
oooooh I love it!!!
Lovvvvvve the Jazz AND ALL THAT JAAAAAAZZ |
xD OMG I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT~ The middle is EPIC!!! I love the jazz it totally fits great with her voice. HOLY CRAP SO excited!
|
hmm. i find the song...extremely long. and somewhat boring. i like the middle part the most, but the song is definitely not a favorite of mine.
|
Quote:
its a shame too, because i actually really enjoy Edith Piaf. although, i don't know the original song by her, so maybe it was crappy to begin with. :shrug |
I'm still not feeling the French, but it's a fun song :heart
|
Even though I could tell from the preview, Utada took the first bit of musical arrangement from her favorite track off of "This Is The One", "Me Muero," that only lasted a nano-second before the main beat came in and ran with it throughout this entire song.
Influences people. |
I don't like it, hope the rest is good
|
it's an interesting track, but yeah, It's not an instant favorite. I'm still mega excited cuz I know this ***** is gonna have some hawt tracks.
|
The song is slightly long, but I love it for what it is: A nice, relaxing jazzy R&B song. I'll just accept the French as the English most other J-Pop artists throw into the mix: unintelligible gibberish XD
|
I don't like that french song, and I don't like jazz - too long too boring. Hope the rest is better! =D
|
ahh! i love it when she does the little 'hey!' at around 3:10!
|
I'm just glad she's releasing new material! Oh my goodness, it's been how long since she last released something! I like the jazz arrangement is cool, and she sounds good in the song!
|
OMG the bridge is amazing! hahaha. loving it!
But yeah, definitely no. I'll just consider this a bonus track, I really wanna hear the other 4 tracks! |
I think she should have cut out the french. Just leave that part for the commercial, and keep the song down to 4 minutes with just the japanese part. Otherwise, it's too long. I'm glad we have this song, I doubt she'll be doing any other songs like this in a long time, and it just broadens her discography a bit with this type of music. Cool to look back and think "wow, she has a childrens song, a rock song, a jazz song she sung in french, etc." Just another different song to add to her discography.
|
It was like a battle between her voice and the chaotic music...and don't get me started on her French. Very disappointing; she could do Jazz so much better than this. I hope the other new tracks are better.
|
whats so great anout the middle part -.-
I'm waiting to be wowed and then the song ends |
Personally I liked the French in the song :thud
It was fun and matched the style of the song! It was something new and different -in fact, I thought this was a fresh sound from Hikki and I found it appealing. Sure, it's not the best song she has ever released, but I thought it was pretty cool :yes. |
Quote:
But yeah, it's not for everyone, and yes, omg her French is the most awful thing. She should have just done it all in Japanese. I thought she was singing in spanish at one point lol I think if she did like a lot of Jazz in her own way, it wouldn't sound like this...but you never know lol |
There is some bossa nova on it too, isn't it?
|
I agree with the disliking here, it's really not my genre, however I don't think she did such a bad job.
But the song definitely doesn't stand out for me, I really don't like it <.< Her voice seems to fit almost every genre though.. *still dissappointed* |
I want more rock songs like Uso Mitai.. :(
|
Uhhh..I was...surprised.
I hope the four other songs are different. And better. |
I wish she'd make a new song like 嘘みたいなI love you andドラマ \(^_^)/
|
|
So good!!If she has success with this song we shouldn´t be afraid about the album
|
Empress Utada reigns again :yes
|
Looks like that is the single cover after all
|
Wow, so many people here don't like jazz... =/ I think it's one the most creative songs she has ever made. Making a jazz song is not easy because of all the improvisation involved, hence why it sounds "messy."
...if this was a Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts song on a Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, I bet people would be totally in love with it. |
^LOL Maybe. I foresee different (better) vocals for a song on that soundtrack ;P
|
#1 on Japanese iTunes. Was only a matter of time. Seriously, she can create and sell anything she wants now. Love it.
She's Utada, hear her roar......in Japanese, English and French. :cool |
