I know poopsie, and other people said that and I assumed it was implied that I knew that by this:

For her career she spells it ヒカル instead of using kanji.

Anyways, yeah, it could mean other things really than song be star or whatever. Maybe it's just a coincidence that her name is translated like that.

Aww I’m sorry, it must have been hard living in Japan using only AltaVista’s Babel Fish to translate everything.


Anyway this is kind of off topic but if anyone is interested, the article about her is here. I got it off of Utada-online.net and it was a while ago but I don’t actually see a last name so I can’t say it’s about Utada so anyone care to verify?
