[Keiichi_JPU]

[JackieRos]

*sigh* me too

[RikkuK]

Why, Utada? Why?

[AyuGAME]

i wonder if hikki drop a message or not about the earthquake ?

[Not Fade Away]

^^ She has been -- on her twitter she's been informing local residents of Japan on what to do in the crisis situation and she has been notifying English-speaking foreigners on what stations to listen to for direction.

She has also donated blood so far, but I don't know about any money.

[JackieRos]

wow donated blood

that's so generous of her

[Bigtop]

Huh? She donated blood? Well, there's another way of donating - donating blood! Maybe quite some good use there, but hopefully she donated some money also...

[amorphose]

^I'm sure she did. We'll never know though because... well... we just won't. It's Utada. haha

[koumori]

She's said in the past she enjoys giving blood So this doesn't surprise me.

Donating blood is just as good as, if not even better, than donating money right now, or especially at the time that she did it. They were (still are, most likely) in dire need of donated blood for many victims with fatal injuries due to the quake collapsing the building on them, or other various scenarios. In fact, I've seen other Japanese tweeting about donating blood as well.

[Keiichi_JPU]

I'm proud of Hikki, that's a generous thing to do. It didn't even occur to me!

[AyUta]

I'm sure she donated money too. .

Question!

I have seen scans of Distance and I have a question are those booklet pictures like turn able to do another version of front cover or those are just regular booklet pictures

regular. It's just a standard booklet. That's a cool idea though.

I know, it didn't occur to me either! Is she a universal blood type? I think I am as well, type O? *knows nothing about blood types*

I tried that...but turned it around a few minutes later. The booklet is really stiff and I didn't want to damage it.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Her album booklets are very glossy

[OogoeDiamond]

yeah I have noticed that
my Deep River just came in right now (so happy ^^) and I have First Love and Exodus Already maybe I will get distance next month

I need to rebuy all her stuff. I didn't know about presses back when I was little. but now that I look through my collection, only about 3 of the cds are japan press (solely talking about my utada collection). Everything else is taiwanese press which is such crappy quality. So many tears, and cracks, and rips, and chips all over the taiwanese press versions while the Japanese pressings I have are still perfect condition. Hell. Half the taiwanese versions of cds I have from her had cracks just from shipping to me in the mail even though they were wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap.

[bluegie]

I hope your Japanese press includes Distance and DR. Those are the ones with first press. I dunno if the cd shops still have those in 1st press...
