[Utada Hikaru] Show Me Love in Hikki's 38th Thread!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I guess it didn't make sense because it's not at all "impacting music".

[primavera♥]

^maybe its impacting the music industry as a whole?

Of course other people care. Its hikki and she hasn't released japanese stuff in two yrs and now she's taking another break from her utada hikaru career. A break that is more extensive.
If other japanese artists have wild fans in these places I'm sure hikki has them too

[hpg23]

I actually like this. That post just made me realize, even more, how great of an artist and a person she is. It was just so sincere, and so human, and so thankful to her fans, and so her, that I just have more interest in her music. She definitely is one hell of an artist and she can take 10 years if she wants and needs to: I'm sure she'll reward us with huge masterpieces. And I'm very excited for both Single Collection Vol. 2 and the new songs. Who knows, maybe an In the Flesh DVD is coming?

I hope she finds happiness on this time on her own, Utada, we love you!

So that's what "Teiku 5" meant: Take 5 Years Off

3 Years Notice in Advance.

Even the Lyrics are relevant and apply to this situation.

I want a release date and tracklist for the single collection!
And hopefully the cover is not as boring as the first one. lol

Dirty Desire......Dirty Desire.......

^They're the hottest couple EVER.

About the single collection, do you guys think it'll be another "patterned" cover + booklet + CD? You know, for the first one she didn't have her own picture on the cover, but this beautiful classic gold drawing, and the CD had an embossed pattern on it and stuff..

Like, what I'm trying to say.. do you guys think she'll pull another hikki-less cover and use a modern pattern like the triangle-ish pattern on her website?

I really like the first cover. I hope the second one keeps up the tradition.

actually she did. it's the picture from her sakura drops photoshoot though. It's at the very top of the design.

Are you serious? Have you actually ever seen the cover? It has the most text on it of any other album of hers. lol

What? Of course they are. It's just close ups from her "single collection vol. 1" album cover.

Bahaha, I meant to say "image-less". My bad!

She'd better put her face on the cover, or I'mma going over there to tattoo her single collection vol. 1 cover on her face.

"HOW DOES THAT FEEL, HUH?"

[amorphose]

^LOL.

^^^I wish that I could photoshop all our bad memories~

[edit]
According to U.Blog, Utada's off the IDJ website again, probably for good this time. That's good and bad, imo. Good because if and when she ever releases another American album, it'll be with a better record label (hopefully); and bad because it means the hiatus extends to her activities in the west as well... I mean, that was kind of a given-- but I still had some hope.

[Daggi_X]

2010 seriously sucks.
An Cafe went on hiatus, Ayabie disbanded (worst day EVER) and now Hikki is going to take a long break as well.
Who will be next :/ ?

WHAAAAAAT???!!!!!! AYABIE DISBANDED??? I'm seriously crying now. That is something I really care about..
I haven't been giving attention to them and was just just waiting for the next single. Singles like Dramatic weren't too enjoyable for me
But such a lovely band. And Aoi has the loveliest male voice ever. They're always permanantly in my top four jrock bands. Along with an cafe. Whose haitus has been already depressing. And I worry as miku has his own new band T.T

And besides this my precious Eiko Shimamiya has her possible voice ruining cancer

And then hikkis on haitus. That's most of my TOP fav musicians gone in one year. This sucks
All I have is ayu, MUCC, and Nightmare.... T.T

Does music hate me. Why are MY fav artists all ruined and gone T.T other people can keep their fav artists.

Well Aoi is going to release a solo single in September and they were unable to continue as a band because of that. So they left Aoi and will form a new band soon.

We should start an Ayabie-thread

EDIT: I started an Ayabie-thread^^
