This is really good, isn't it? I'm not familiar with AllAccess, but isn't it a very popular service?

^I think those are just industry sites to help get the word out to radio.

Hrrm the video on the right in the link doesn't work. *throws bananas*

I don't think Hikki looks great too, in those pics. That one dent she has that's not as straight as the others.. She's scaring me a little there ^^;
And I've always been a BIG fan of her older photos.

I mean.. Beat this;



Btw how do you put pictures in that "spoiler" tag?

[pommy48]

[Polyrhythm]

^Its not a new video. It came out already. Just the presskit. Plus you live in Belgium so you cant see it anyway. If you want, you can watch here:

Thank you pommy! ^_________^
I don't quiet know about that picture.. It was from before the passion era, maybe even from before Colors.
And I love it to!! It's one of my all-time faves

@xheartstation; ow I see, thank you ^^
Thought it was some error, but yeah, it's that new Youtube privacy policy.. *deep sigh*
Thank you for the link ^^

[KarenPang]

she looks beautiful in that pic , I just like the details of her top it's so colourful & vibrant

[njanjayrp]

the EXODUS press kit was more interesting imo~

TWO MORE TRACK TITLES!

-Poppin'
-Automatic Part II

I am so so excited to hear the latter of those.
Also, another phone interview is out; you can listen to it here:

She mentions that the CBTM video should be out very soon (probably on her MySpace page first) and that it will have a Greta Garbo sort of '20s theme. Very elegant.

LOL @ Automatic Part II. o_O...

[Maemi]

Automatic Part II yay!

[jbrat2219]

Oooh can't wait for the PV :O

[amorphose]

I'm interested to see how a song with such mainstream lyrics is going to be represented with a '20s theme... How are they gonna make the "photoshop" and "Manhattan" lines work with that kind of visual?

Thanks to S. Jamie for the information. The latest issue of Japanese music magazine “WHAT’s IN?” features information regarding Utada’s upcoming album, “This Is The One.” 2 new track titles are revealed: “Poppin’” and “Automatic Part II.” The track “Poppin’” was originally called “The Austin Powers’ Song,” while “Automatic Part II” appears to be some sort of mash-up between the music of Utada and “Utada Hikaru,” as a way of showing fans that the two really are born of the same person. Other tidbits revealed:

* Apple And Cinnamon is a mid-tempo track about men and women.
* On & On is a Tricky Stewart produced track. A fun track; has the phrase “gay parade.”
* Me Muero has a latin flavor
* Automatic Part II was the last track to receive a title. The song is said to act as a way of connecting the album together as a whole.
* Stargate were the ones who initially asked Utada to listen to the Sakamoto Ryuichi song “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence,” saying they had a good idea for a track.
* Utada wrote “Come Back To Me” in order to say “Hey look I can write this Pop of a Pop song.”
* Utada has only been in the studio with Stargate for roughly 1 hour. Most everything was done transferring data from Japan back to New York or Norway.

so more info.

Not very big news, but...
http://www.last.fm/music/Utada/_/Come+Back+To+Me

"Come Back To Me" has been officially added to last.fm and is now playable on their radio.

[jbrat2219]

Seems her new album is going to be a mixed flavor of a lot of different genres...

OMG! Automatic was one of my favorite original songs of her! I hope AutomaticII Lives up to the name
