Hee...I like Hikki in a hoodie Though she does look ind of scary in that last pic from ROCKIN' ON JAPAN. x.x;

I know this is quite a random question and all, but I kinda really need this for my class tomorrow.

I need a brief summary of what Prisoner Of Love's lyrics mean. When I try to describe it, it seems so scattered and I'm sure what I would probably say doesn't make sense. If someone could possibly give me a 2 sentence description, I would really appreciate it. ><;

She loves her friend. (i think more than a friend). but no matter what, she needs to retain that relationship, being ready for whatever pain she'll feel just stay as what they were. (i think)... XD

[bakacat]

Thanks! I'll be sure to say that.

From RIAJ:

ミリオン HEART STATION 宇多田 ヒカル 20080319 EMIミュージック・ジャパン

They list HS as hitting the million mark, I think because RIAJ includes non-store sales, which Oricon does not. IDK what that means really though.

[ALPHY]

^ Yayyy! Thanks for the news! xx

[DestinyWishes]

Well done Hikki, this is fantastic! It is really hard these days for singers to sell that much copies these days.

RIAJ certify releases by shipped from company copies.
Oricon counts bought from stores copies.

It means that HS shipped a million copies XD

[Melon Panda]

If HEART STATION has shipped a million copies, EMI probably thinks it'll sell that much.

But EMI announced that over a month ago, right?

RIAJ publicate certifications a month after, not at the same minute.
They release only monthly issues with certifications.

Anyway RIAJ is certificating according to shipped copies, HS/SG didn't sell 100,000 but shipped it, therefore it's certified gold.

This is according to Utada's 2007.10.10 message.

She went to the Arashi Dome concert and was speaking about her experience there.

Sakurai had invited her to attend and gave her a bag of Arashi goodies.

In it was the rumoured Johnny's uchiwa!
It had Sakurai's face on it and she was commenting on how if you are going to attend a Johnny's concert, you needed an uchiwa. He had given her a small one.

After a while she asked about the uchiwa to Sakurai and he explained to her that there was a large version as well and he had pondered on which size he would give to all the guests (the small one or large one). But he had thought that if he gave her a big one with his portrait, that it would be harder to throw away and so he gave her a small one. Here she says "How thoughtful is he (laugh) Sakurai Kun you are too nice (laugh)"

She promised him "No no no! I will use it!" And so that day (10.10) she used it to cool herself off after taking a bath.

She said she felt bad that she was using it for this purpose as she was just in her underwear and every time she waved it, she could see his face...lol..so she promised next time to use it for other things...like....drying her nails~

She mentions she is very happy because she has a lot of uchiwa in her house now.

YAY! NOW ALL HIKKI FANS SHOULD BE ARASHI FANS!!!!
