^ I noticed that it was up earlier when I returned to the site to register for the autograph contest. Pretty interesting interview. Could you imagine having played Hikki on tetris and not know it was her!?

That was a very nice interview. I enjoyed it especially the Tetris talk. lol I just wished he asked a lil bit more about her english album but oh well, he prolly couldn't ask too much about it.

The 9th is just around the corner. I'm definitely gonna have my radio on all day. :yes I hope she gets nationwide airplay.

I love the interview! Hikki is soo funny !! :)

are they really gonna give utada airplay? like on z100 or some other known radio stations?

She's already getting airplay. 80 spins so far.

^ Yay that's great <3 I don't listen to the radio though lols.

LOL NO school on monday.....Does anyone know what radio stations will play this? Here in So. Cal I've only heard of 102.7 KissFM. Will they play it? I'm gonna randomly browse radio stations all day

WOW. You know what I just saw? I was on Hikki's myspace and yah know how theres like pictures of her "friends" (Mariah Carey, Ne-Yo, Rhianna, ect.)? Well theres this one person, "GRAMMY NOMINATED**Karina** " and her picture seems to be a promotional poster.....and it said "My Debut Album, First Love"

Lol....just random

THAT'S HORRIBLE. Has it been ~officially~ released to stations yet?

^No....isnt it supposed to be released in like 4 more days?

That's GOOD for something that hasn't even been released for airplay...

Huh? No it isn't. 80 plays in one month? That's no good at all. :no

^ Considering that the single hasn't officially been released yet, meaning, the radio stations haven't been given the "Go ahead", I believe it is.

it's not bad at all! At least she is getting airlplay, which is something she barley got for her exodus album!

And it's still bad. Just because a song's not up for airplay yet, doesn't mean that it's not going to be played. :yes

Let's put it in perspective for you. BoA's Eat You Up has been playing since two, three months ago but she only has 188 spins IN TOTAL. Utada's song started getting spins on week of Jan 21 and she's up to 80 in that short amount of time. Utada's song is getting a higher volume of spins in a week than BoA's songs are doing. So Utada's doing pretty good considering that she's a new name and that the song isn't supposed to be playing.

Well then they've both not performed very well. Whether they are new names or not is irrelevant. Bad plays are bad plays.

But as I'm already aware, plays will rise on the 9th, and they obviously will rise - but it's still not looking very good.

And I'm done.

^ Grrr. Beware of barking dog. Lmfao, I'm just kidding! I kid I kid. Lol.

^ Ok...so your point is...?
