lol thats a nice pic of hikki, I dont think she's gaining any weight at all... At least I didnt realize it..

black's a slimming colour you never know but I do admit there was 1 period of time where she looked quite chubby than usual & that was before she got divorced .

either that or I put it down to bad choice of clothing .

^your right,but I never notice things like weight unless you gained or lost a lot of it...but it makes a lot since if she gained it because of the divorce...

If you checked those previous news at yahoo.jp during the summer last year, you will see she actually lost a lot of weight after getting divorced. I think yahoo.jp even mentioned about her slimmer legs during a press or something.

tbh... her clothing style + short hair makes her look chubbier than usual. I really hope she will grow her hair instead of keeping it short.. I think she only looking good at MS.. She looked so weird on other shows..

Roughly 6 minutes for a cute song? Hope it won't drag on. And wow, Take 5 is short

true I suppose but usually during a marriage or after a divorce , you tend to put on weight depending on the nature of your marriage .

guess Utada channelled all of her energy into pilates or something after she got divorced hmmm

Hmmn... I dunno how many times they've seen each other during those 4 to 5 years of marriage. Everyone knows that she wrote about kuma more than kiriya even before they're divorced. (just made a quick search at Hikki Texts and she did mentioned about kiriya a bit more during the early marriage.) A few months before they broke up, I always wondered why she didn't talk about her husband on her blog. I didn't expect she would mention his name everytime... but it's quite weird to see kuma-chang in 9 out 10 blogs, while kiriya... probly 1/20 chance..

Well she is still a bit chubby, but it's much better compared to her EXODUS --> Be My Last era. That's kinda a nightmare.. :P

I love her short hair look. It's so boyish that I've fallen in love. <3

thanks for the pic... she looks realy fine :D

She looked like a boy in that picture.

LOL I come back after a couple of days and I find another thread of Hikki :thud
I really missed out :headache
But anyways, I got some Hikki news for you all <3

"HEART STATION" Monthly airplay; Utada Bests record!

According to a new Livedoor article, Utada’s latest single, “HEART STATION,” was the most played song on Japanese radio in the month of February. The song recorded 1,064 plays, the only song to cross the one thousand threshold last month. This also brings the monthly total airplay above Utada’s previous record month of 1,037 plays for 2002’s “traveling.” There is also a new promo pic of Utada attached to the article.

Yay Hikki!!!

I find it slightly amusing that it got some may radio plays - radio frequency theme of HEART STATION :D [bad humor I know...]

Anyway, HEART STATION is a great song so I'm happy that she's enjoyed radio success despite the opposing physical release.

The album is coming in just a little over a week!

^ I know! :D I know leaking albums/singles is a bad thing but temptation...temptation...
:innocent

lol, it's been surprisingly easy for me to resist temptation. Maybe it's cause I know there aren't that many new tracks so I might spoil them by listening to them early.

I'm surprised HS hasn't leaked out in full yet . Not even Ken Hirai's fakin' pop ! His new album's gonna be out this Wed ..

I want to hear Rainbow Bus from HS LOL , sounds cute

So, there's only five actual new tracks? Bummer.

^ But I bet all the tracks will be wonderful :D
If it's coming from Hikki, why wouldn't they be? n.n
Although the track I'm really looking forward to is 'Prisoner of Love', because it's a strings track <3

Oh yeah, here's a new promo pic for you guys :D

Utada doesn't look too fat at the moment. XD

Her weight has been going up and down since Exodus really. Must be the American food. D:
I remember she was quite pudgy during the Exodus Showcase.

I think the best she's looked was during COLORS. :3 (SHE HAS TO GO BACK TO LONG HAIRR)

I don't think she looks fat either, and yay for Heart Station!
