I don't think Fantτme isn't on Spotify or Deezer just because she wants the physical version to sell. None of her japanese discography is on those websites, and considering japanese people don't really use those services, I think it's a lack of motivation from the label to include those albuns on streaming. Many avex artists also don't have songs on Spotify.

Maybe with the move to Sony we'll get them (although I guess her catalogue still belongs fo UMG).

Spotify just recently ventured into the Japanese market with the goal to add new artists over the course of 2017.

What? This doesn't even make sense, you know? First of all, oricon doesn't count overseas sales anymore, so would Utada, an artist who thinks about her overseas fans fans, be just thinking about charts? I don't think so. Second of all: all the artist says an album is not available on a particular country or music app because of the company, not because they want it or not lol

Just for the record: Oh Land Wishbone is only available in the US, even though she is from Denmark and all of her other albums are available everywhere else. So it's on the label we have to blame, not the artist lo

EDIT: about changing labels and what it could possibly mean for her catalogue to be available online, well... Madonna has all her discography available even though a great part of her discography was released under Warner (and now she's interscope). I don't know how it works, but if there's a will, there's a way haha

^I'm not really sure about that. When she was releasing TiTO she had to ask Disney for permission to release both versions of Sanctuary on her album.

I don't like this new hair as well. I hope she grow it back asap.
But probably she's gonna release something. Can't wait.

I'm so used to the 90 years gap between her releases that I feel that a new release this year would be too soon.


But not complaining, keep'em coming.

She looks good, but I have to admit that hair is not the best. I think her hair during the ULTRA BLUE era is still my favorite.

Congratulations for selling 1 million! That's a big feat, and she totally deserves that because Fantτme is an amazing album. I'm glad we're probably getting new music soon.

Even though most of her music post-Deep River hasn't really resonated with me (maybe like 10 songs total), it's great to see a female veteran of the industry smash everything to pieces with such success.

I don't care for the hair either, but I always preferred her with long hair. And, to be honest, other than the videos she made with her ex-husband, visuals and aesthetics have never really been her thing, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Wow, 1 million copies, that's amazing!! I can't believe a female solo artist has been able to sell that much nowadays.

Getting TITO vibes from the hair.

But then, sometimes she just released her stuff very quick without any notice at all (e.g., from Distance to DEEP RIVER, or from ULTRA BLUE to HEART STATION). I guess this time she's gonna do the same thing. Have a good feeling on it! Deep down I wanna cry of joy because I don't need to wait for another 8 years...

I probably have horrible taste, because I actually don't mind her hair. I think short hair fits Utada, however I would have loved if she kept her long hair from the beginning of the Fantome era. She looked absolutely gorgeous when we got those promo pics announcing her comeback.

I don't mind the hair either. I didn't like the short hair the first time she pulled it back in the day, but since then it has grown on me a lot. I'm really excited to hear whatever she is working on now.
