Amen, Slackey. She mighta' overdid it w/that "I'm no Britney" amplification, too, I actually hate to say it. A simple "we're different" would've sufficed.

'Nother one: looks like the breezies ain't so easy on that hair of hers (PLEASE don't tell me that's what it's SUPPOSED to look like).

And I really think reporters need to entirely STOP using the euphemism "whopping" when it comes to above-average album sales. I mean, frick, all that does is make me hungry for a whopper. And I don't usually make it a point to eat 'em.

I agree with you guys. I miss the old, innocent girl from next door Hikki who didn't need sex innuendos in her lyrics to sell records. I guess I'm still living in Hikki's old R&B era with the First Love album.

i like exdous'04 this song

Devil Inside (Richard Vission Radio Edit) is the one which most radio stations and reviews recommends. Personally it's my favourite.

Anyway, Hikki's Music Forever

Finally got a chance to read this and I agree with The Man, she doesn't have to get worked up about a Britney comparison. But what I find more annoying than sleezy lyrics though is the fact that the media seems to like to throw in that she's married. Utada already has shot herself in the foot by getting married and if she wants to make it big in the US, I think it would be wise for her to keep her marriage on the down low. Don't even mention it unless someone ask. Also since she married at the tender age of 19, that further kills her image even more. Divas such as Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey in her hey day were not married and even though this is America Utada is trying to tackle, it's still very difficult for a woman to keep up her image. It just seems so weird for a married woman to be singing these lyrics

HIKARU DA BEST!!!

Yeah, there was a discussion about it earlier, but I guess it never came around. Yeah, sorry about that arashi-san. I meant for this to be the official thread since the other threads were only about specific topics.

Here's scan #2 of the set:

Hehe, thanks.

Maybe im late or something, but today while going to work, I saw a Utada poster with her name and picture on it. I think it was her new album... It was posted on those cardboard walls people put up while doing construction... I think Utada has invaded the US...

I was about the swipe the cardboard fold up of the Exodus advertisment at Kinokuniya. Too bad there were too many people. But I did walk out with quite a few free postcards.

You should have taken it!!... Be an inconsipicious and look at the poster, then run off it with. Im sure they wont stop you, its just a cardboard picture right?

If there was anything I wanted in that store, it would have been the autographed paper BY HIKKI they had up near the JPop cds. And it was dated the day before I went to Kinokuniya. I wonder if she was actually there!

Anyways, I need to get to sleep. I think sleeping for only two hours the night before takes a toll on one's sanity. Too sukebe tonight.

Oyasumi eighty... Im gonna turn in too after I visit Sayaka-chans page and stare and drool at her pictures...
