WAY OFF-TOPIC

but did anyone notice that Utada laughs at the end of "Wait and See ~Risk~" on the single version and SINGLES COLLECTION Version, but no laughing on the album version??

[Maemi]

I've got a question (and a small request) @_@ So Timbaland used the sample of Meshkeltek by aitha al-menhali for Exodus '04...? Can someone via PM direct me or give me the download link of that song?=D I'd really like to hear it and see the difference^^

@NintendoHTF1242 i hear it too.

Yeah, I noticed that too!!! I don´t know why they changed it to the album version, (maybe it didn´t flow well with Can You Keep a Secret?) but I prefer it with the laugh at the end XD She did a pretty natural laugh there, it doesn´t sounds too fake.

She fell down the stairs and hit her face. She looks so sad in that picture with those large eyes.

Utada was mentioned in this article

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

"ORESKABAND: The Movie", how creative. Well. I still will make that trip to their movie.
Poor Hikki ;_; Stairs are like bad luck charms now.

[Yoo Bin]

^LOL I bet she was drunk if anything. The por girl! She looks as tho she was going to cry.

The article featuring all the acts heading to America makes me anxious for this year. I can't wait til feburary. I'm gonna cheer for Hikki all the way.

[AyUta]

Ah, I see, she fell down the stairs Poor Hikki.

Interesting article also, thanks for that.

“HEART STATION” Surpasses the Million Sales Mark

Oricon Japan has released their first charts of 2009, and Utada’s latest Japanese language album, “HEART STATION,” passes the million threshold on this, it’s 42nd week on the charts. The album, released last March, is Utada’s first album in 5 years to sell over 1 million copies domestically, making this her 5th album to reach the million milestone. Congratulations to Utada!

Hooray~.

[Beauty4123]

I WAS JUST GONNA POST THAT!

i'm so happy that it FINALLY reached the million!

[jbrat2219]

Congrats to utada!

I'm sorry to hear about her falling down the stairs... I wonder if she and Ayu were drunk together and fell down xD;

[AyUta]

Knowing Hikki, she was probably drunk She just loves to drink.

[Meat Pao]

Omg it finally passed the million mark Congrats Hikki!

[se7entheaven]

she's so boring without any release

[Yoo Bin]

^*sigh* This is what Hikki fans have to go through.


So happy that Hikki FINALLY passed the million mark. Isn't Heart Station like the 1st album to be released in one edition to surpass the million mark in while? I know that it's the only album in 2008 that's one edition to surpass the million mark.

Hopefully, she'll release a CD+DVD with her english album. I really wanted a CD+DVD for Exodus. It's so hard to find YMMWTBAM pv especially the mp4 version.

[amorphose]

^Hikki has never really done the more than one format thing. Other than Passion and Be My Last. I'm betting the only reason she chose to make those CD+DVD was because Passion was only 2 tracks and Be My Last was only 1.

I'm not quite sure, but I don't think any artist on EMI does the multiple format thing. If they do it's nothing like avex and their forty formats with eighty covers. XD

[NintendoHTF1242]

Great that HEART STATION finally passed the million mark!

I heard it's in the top 5 best selling albums this year and is the best selling original female album in that top 5, since the 1st and 5th were taken by EXILE, while Namie's BEST album took number 2 and some boy band had number 3.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^ Damn EXILE.

JYONGRI is on EMI and only two releases had multiple versions were Love Forever and Unchanging Love ~Kimi Ga Ireba~. Looking through other artists on EMI, multiple versions isn't something they're big on.

That would help cease the Hikki/Ayu war. Them getting drunk together.

[Akutenshi]

OMG OMG OMG, LISTEN.
