Hey, new poster. So there's no set date for an American album? I love Come Back To Me so far, that song I think is better than her Exodus songs. Hope she does well this time, I just keep saying if she ever did a song like the ones she did for Kingdom HEarts it'd be great.

Hi I'm pretty new here

I'm a fan of Hikki for a while as she did introduced to me to the Jpop world that I thought is only for anime soundtracks

I don't know if this is asked or not. I just wanted to know,
What are your favorite Hikki MVs? Why?

I just found that Hikki got a blog~

i duno if u guys have it in this thread but...

http://www.u3music.com/top.html

she post random things...but she just posted an english entry on her album...

Well hello, hello!

Is it too late even for a belated belated Happy New Year?

I'm finishing up my new album right now. There's no way it can be released as early as IDJ has announced lol But they are rushing to get this out there for all of you to hear, and that is a very good sign

It means the album sounds gooood

I started up a myspace page! (Is "page" the right word?) You can listen to my new single there.

I do plan to start posting messages on myspace soon, start up a dialogue with peeps who have posted messages for me, but that feels premature at the moment. Maybe when I am finished with the album, when, hopefully, we will have managed to generate some sort of response to the music, outside of the internet.

Having said that, I'd like to clarify that this u3music site will remain to be the most personal ("chatty") outlet of my thoughts and feelings.

Yours Truly,

Utada

sorry if its posted already,,,

I really liked the 'keep tryin' video. the style was great and i loved how she hid things from a few of her other videos in it. (she has a lot of other great videos, but this one was different for her i think)

I prefer to watch her live performances over her MVs coz the MVs are mostly too unrealistic
Anyway my fav would be :-
Can You Keep A Secret - i love the robot. love love.
Dareka No Negai - her ex husband did the job well I guess
Prisoner Of Love - so simple and so Utada..~ I cant stop staring at the beautiful pumps ~ hehe

Flavor of Life (Ballad Version) - it was just her in the studio with various musicians performing the song... it was very simple yet I thought it was cool how we could see how the song was recorded. I was surprised by the large amount of people on strings o.o

The Come Back To Me music video is going to suck.

The disappointing director is Anthony Mandler, who makes the most uninteresting music videos. It's not surprising since Utada usually fails to deliver the whole package.

We don't even know what this package is yet. She's more than likely retooled herself since the Exodus days so we should expect to see something new and/or fresh for her in this second attempt at cracking the American market. You really shouldn't judge the video and/or the director until you see the video.

i feel her new album is going to be different from Exodus...Exodus was very...experimental and , strange (in a beautiful way for me..)

judge from "come back to me"...it sounds more like those songs most ppl listen to .

i really hope her ex-husband can direct her MV though...they were soooo good...
