UBlog updated with this

Utada’s Japanese website has been updated tonight at 12AM/midnight Japan time with a new profile picture, and news that 2 official books will be published in Spring of 2009, titled “Ten” (Point) and “Sen” (Line), to commemorate Utada’s 10 years in the music business. The titles of the books appear to reference the lyrics of “Deep River,” the title track off Utada’s 3rd Japanese language album.

“Ten” consists of a long interview conducted by Utada’s long time official writer, Ms. Matsuura, focusing on everything from her marriage and divorce, to the joys and pain of writing music. “Sen” is a collection of Utada’s official blog/messages plus photographs taken on location by the same man who photographed her “First Love” album.

In addition, a “UH 10th Anniversary” blog has been opened, featuring fan submissions from the call for “Your Favorite Utada Songs.” The blog is tagged by song, and as of this writing, “Hikari” and “Take 5″ are tied with the most entries, with 41 a piece.

Books?

I wouldn't mind reading about her life so I might get Ten, but of all the things I thought they would do for her 10th anniversary releasing two books was not on the list.
