"This Is The One" is currently #19 on American iTunes Overall Album List.

Also, I got this message a few days ago:

"This is bad news ppl! I have juz read from my country's U-week magazine, and i a piece of news about Utada! She as been seen by her fans(probably by those who keep followign her around) visiting a place where gigolo work!! Oh my, and she have go there quite many times from near-end of last year till now. One gigolo has attached to Utada whom the fans in the magazine said, his talking is very good and make hikki very happy! Thus, Utada go there every week(I think now too). This male gigolo is very famous in the world and only works for those rich ladies! OMG....i hope u get my message. Fans are all worried about her... Btw, i think this could be the story behind her song ' Taking My Money Back'"

Do with it what you will.

It was amazing seeing Hikki last night at Sephora, but everything else sucked! >_<

I thought the whole promotion at Sephora was rather random and Sephora just in general conducted and handled everything extremely poor. I can understand to an extent that, in such events things do get hectic, especially with a ton of fans bunched into small spaces being crammed together, but they were really unprofessional and disorganized. For example, after Utada spoke about some of her songs, and fan questions, we all had to get in a line to take photos with her, etc. Well they started letting anyone come into the store to shop, well most of them went to the front so I'm sure some of them probably got in line and maybe got photos with her? But I'd say only 10 to 15 people actually got photos with her it looked like. And when they announced to the crowd that, Utada had to leave to get on a flight, they said to go to the front to get Utada gift bags and autographed photos, well no one from Sephora was even in front, so by the time people rushed over, almost half of the crowd got kicked out of sephora and they closed the front doors locking people out. It got so bad that they lied to everyone saying they had no more of the Sephora/Utada gift bags and sent everyone out, but my friends went back after the crowd cleared outside and they went to asked if there were anymore, well this table that had black table cloth over it where they had RSVP books to get wristbands in the beginning, they had all the merchandise they were supposed to hand out underneath in crates and they were lucky to get some. That was disgusting that they just didn't want to deal with it and get everyone out of the store to be done with it.

It doesn't sound to bad I suppose, I guess being there it obviously was seeing it first hand amount some of the other stuff going on there with the staff, but honestly it was UTADA and completely amazing to breath the same air as her, haha. See her in person, that good stuff.

^ She posted an apology on her blog about that. How upset she was for the way they handled it and made her leave without saying goodbye. That sucks!! But at least you got to see her!

Who is this "male gigolo" they are referring to? O_o

This Is the One fell to #3 on iTune's pop albums chart @_@. Wonder if it'll ever make #1 with Lady Gaga in the way

Yoo Bin · #9 26th March 2009, 12:56 AM

^Lady GaGa is untouchable right now. It doesn't help that she's touring right now either. GaGa's gonna be in the top spot for a while. The only thing to hope for is that TITO doesn't fall out of the top 5 so soon. =/

kang daesung · #10 26th March 2009, 01:19 AM

Wow, huge turnout for the 5th Avenue Sephora event in NYC.

AyUta · #11 26th March 2009, 02:27 AM

LOL@gigolo message.

Look at all those lucky people

kang daesung · #12 26th March 2009, 03:43 AM

Utada wrote a really nice message addressing those fans who weren't able to get signatures at the events:

Some pics of crazy Hikki fans =] Like me...

LOL check out the girl with the orange hair. She totally stands out. And look at that clerk hiding behind the other clerk. They must have never expected Utada to pull in such an INSANE crowd.

Ayu_desu · #18 26th March 2009, 06:36 AM

aw, her message was really kind.
She looks really cute in that poncho shirt!

CoriKaru · #19 26th March 2009, 07:39 AM

I didn't know that was a type of shirt. Thought it was just a hugely oversized shirt. Seems she's keeping consistent with her "This Is The One" Booklet Photos with her in the big shirt as well. She may start a fashion statement with it.

"Okay Guys."

Love it.

EDIT: Just saw Ayumi's sales. Imagine what they would have been without all of those versions pushing it and they still didn't do what one would think they'd do. I mean she's right there with Kumi's sales. Wow. I guess next time we can expect 9 versions to compensate.

haha I'm quite fashion-illiterate so I really don't know what that's supposed to be called...
