[Utada Hikaru] Coming Back to the 23rd Thread♥

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Those 2 devils look almost the same o_O
because the pic is so dark I keep thinking it's from a horror film.

Utada looks pretty in that recording studio picture. If it was founded by Jay-Z maybe that recording studio has respect enough to get her out there!.

[kang daesung]

She looks very skinny! So she looks good

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Agreed. So this EPK, wut exactly is it? Is she gonna be doing some type of online interview or something?

[Sundae]

EPK is a press kit in some other form than paper. A cd, dvd, tape, or the internet. It usually contains information for promotion. It's not a event or something that Utada has to do. Her PR team usually does this.

I'm sorry to suddenly interrupt with this offtopic statement, but...
I've watched for the second time SAKURA Drops PV and

Am I the only one who find this lyric very sad?=( I never thought about it before. And now when i watch the subbed PV I find it even more sad... ^^; God, that was an amazing PV, I wish Hikki will do smth like that again.

Unfortunately. D: Why can't she find some good directors like the guy who did COLORS to do more stuff for her?

[CoriKaru]

To be honest, I never even liked the "COLOR" Music Video. Utada looked great and everything and I see what they were going for, but it wasn't for me.

And all of those men in such a close vicinity to my Utada.....

[Beauty4123]

i always thought utada was way too skinny in the colors PV. especially in that red dress but i LOVE the song, though. it was the first japanese song i've heard from her, i think. hikari came awhile later, lol.

[rookies]

LOL. Kuma-chan is so cute! <3

Man, Come Back To Me sounds generic. It's repetitive and lyrically most of it is uninteresting. It sounds only one notch slightly above other generic pop ballads you hear in America today. I really hope she does more original things with the rest of the album... I think this single has got to be an effort to grab some radio play... ;_;

Wow, you just described everything it takes to makes a hit song in America!

That's sad

I hope once Utada finds her footing in the States she makes real music.

[rookies]

^ It does sound a bit generic. I played it a few times, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep playing the song. :/

[FuNsTyLe]

^^^ unfortunately, that is true.
More talented artists in the US, rarely make the top of the charts, whereas those who throw out generic bland pop songs, often do. Nothing wrong with that, songs are always catchy. But well... It's just the way it is...
Stargate are good hit-makers though (and they're from Norway.. yay!)
Some of the hits they have produced are:

Shakira/Beyonce - Beautiful Liar
Beyonce - Irreplaceable
Rihanna - Unfaithful, Don't Stop The Music, Take a Bow
Ne-Yo - So Sick

Plus tons of other hits... So I guess we can maybe see the direction Utadas English songs will take, if they will produce more of her songs, she will probably have similiar music like Beyonce and Rihanna has these days... Which is good I guess, but like mentioned before; Bland.

The quality of Hikki's PVs died with her marriage ^^

unfortunately but true

the only 1 I enjoyed's Boku wa Kuma but after that

[Hydeki]

Happy Birthday Hikki!!!!


Well, since her divorce, she hasn't made a lot of REAL PV's, only HEART STATION and Prisoner Of love... I hope that Come Back To Me will have a PV, and it'll be great.

About the photo... It's so intriguing!!!
