Hikaru Utada

She doesn't really dance alot but her voice makes up for the lack of dancing...I can't help but see it on her face and hear it in her singing voice that she sounds and looks like she is lonely or misses someone she used to be with before....maybe it's just me....love to hear her sing tho...

she's supposed to be getting back with her ex husband.

I think the non-traditional pop star (all the entertaining, dancing, etc.) is what helps set her apart from most other musical acts today.
 
Very true json, her voice is enough to keep me playing my favorite songs over and over...she sings with such passion, I can watch her videos everyday...to bad they have to be you-tube videos, I can't find any concert videos anywhere here in the US...

that's because he concert videos is like listening to her on a radio. she walk from one side of the stage to other... jumps up and down, claps her hands and walks back to the side that she originated from. don't get me wrong, her music is great, and i probably would go to one of her concerts, but sadly, she needs to dance a little more.

I have been looking for utada's Bohemian Summer Tour on dvd and can't find it anywhere...if anyone from Japan can help me and tell me where in Japan I can buy it I would really appreciate it very much....thanks
 
Your absolutley right Giostigma, I am just learning the Japanese language and just love her voice and passion she sings with. That's the only music playing in my truck right now, she seems very down to earth and a kind person. Although I will never meet her and probably not see her in concert live I will still buy all her music. People that get in my truck always ask, "what is that your listening to"...after I tell them and they listen to her music they love her voice and her singing passion to...I'm thousands of miles from Japan and she has no idea I'm promoting her here in the USA...lol....she deserves it tho...wish her all the best!!
 
I think if people didn't like her voice she would not be selling millions of cd's...if people don't like her or her voice...don't buy her cd's, it's that simple
 
Could anyone tell me something... Why is the physical US edition of Hikaru's new English album release being pushed back to May?
 
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI

I don't know why the album release date has been pushed back -- maybe a supply problem? But I hope the record label takes the opportunity to change the album cover, I agree with some other fans, it's so dorky.

However, her music lives up to grand expectation. Listen to another single from the album: Mr. Christmas, Mr. Lawrence - FYI :-) :-) :-)

I'll wait for it patiently, it's good she is getting something new out tho...I think the cover looks nice, nice pic of her. I have been curious...is she seen around Japan or does she not go out in public?
 
Of course, she goes out in public. But incognito with hat, sunglasses, scarf, etc. I'm supposed to be living close to Kyoko Fukuda's residence but I've never seen her--dammit. But that's okay because I wanna stalk Eri Fukatsu. ;)
 
I was asking because in one of her interviews she had said that in New York she could walk around and no one knows who she is because she mainly sings in Japanese. I would imagine it would be very difficult for her to go any where in Japan and not be recognized...is the paparazzi just as bad in Japan as they are here in the US?
 
There are so many weekly magazines vying with each other in Japan, maybe more than in the U.S. Their writers and photographers do whatever they can to try to outscoop their competitors, so a celebrity can't even have a proper affair without the public knowing about it in a few days. It's terrible.

you forget that most people are into catchy beats and fads... look at crystal kay. she can't sing to save her ***, yet how many records did she come out with? i'll admit that her beats are catchy, but that's all that she has.

even though this was meant as a joke, most celebrities think this way and try to avoid the general public. jokes are usually partly true. if you had heard that utada was going to be at the local mall or at her favorite restaurant, i'm sure that you'd try and hit up that place.

I wonder if after a while of not having a normal life if celebrity's wonder if it's worth it...I guess the money makes it worth it...lol...
 
The New Hikki

This is one of the tracks from Hikki's latest album. She has really crossed over into R&B territory, it's full of sexual inuendos. After doing a 2nd listening and getting over my initial shock, the song is pretty good I guess, but I want my old Hikki back! Hikki, Come Back To Me. 😊

Anyway, one song in the album would probably sound better in Japanese, I think. (Not this one.)

She is taking a risk going to far to the RB side, for me this is a direction she should not go to. I love her voice and other songs she has written but not to crazy about her going this direction only to try and get into the American market. I wish her all the success with her music but she does not have to try to get the American market changing her way of making music...I hope this doesn't come back to bite her..
I to Dogen Z want my old Utada back...I hope she comes back....
