OMG! So unreleased tracks will be included too? Is it just for the First LOVE era?! Gosh! I don't even care for that! Gimme some unreleased ULTRA BLUE to HEART STATION era songs puuuurrreeeaaassseee!

Lmao.

Oh, I'm ready for the re-release of First Love! :D I want all♥

Somebody tell me what exactly is this. I've never seen this performance nor I had any idea of some kind of a Holiday Special Live. What other songs did she sing? Or was it just Passion?

A special streamed on the internet. She also sang Boulevard of Broken Dreams

It's been confirmed by Teruzane on twitter that it will be getting a US release. I'm assuming it will get a UK release as well =)

I've been so salty all day. lol All I wanna do is watch In The Flesh w/o buying an overpriced secondhand Japanese iTunes card.

I've been checking the UK iTunes all day hoping it'll just randomly appear...

Put on wild life
Mom says she loves utada's voice
We were watching wild life and she started humming along :P

^Ghheeyyyyy

was this supposed to be funny because it wasn't

people have nothing to do.

Oh, I couldn't even listen to that shit through, it was so horrible. -.-

It would be really nice if the unreleased songs are from all eras. (esp from ULTRA BLUE :P)..I really wasn't expecting a re-release of FIRST LOVE but it kinda makes sense since its her 15th year in the industry. I'm still hoping for some great ayu unreleased songs..2CD version...maybe for her 20th anniversary :(!!!

I finally got hold of the In The Flesh tour iTunes release. It brings back so many memories. I honestly never thought I'd get to see it again so I'm extremely happy. Of course it would have been nice to get a physical release, and it would have been even better in HD but beggars can't be choosers.

Yeah, I just finished watching it too! :D It's on JPS if anyone else is interested. The editing was a little cheap at parts, but I didn't think the video quality was that bad and the audio quality was definitely good. I wish they would've use the NYC performance for Kremlin Dusk & YMMWTBAM because I recall it sounding a lot better than the London version they used, but overall it was nice and balanced with its use of footage from both shows.

The highlight performances were the same as when I attended-- FYI, Passion, SAKURA Drops, Devil Inside, Kremlin Dusk, YMMWTBAM & Simple and Clean. I forgot how long the show was! It's also definitely her most diverse setlist, her only concert with songs from every album. Totally worth watching.

Screenshots from JPS:

I'm so gonna search and download that concert somewhere else that isn't Jpopsuki. :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it too. I can't help noticing that people are being very ungrateful towards the release. Most others artists/management would have probably just given up on the release by now and locked it away in a vault somewhere never to see the light of day.

I was at the London show that was recorded and I feel lucky with the parts that they used in this footage since they were some of my fave moments. I was actually worried from the youtube vid that was put up that it was gonna be mostly the NY show and maybe spliced in parts of the London show when they did close-ups to get the best angles of her face lol. I kept stopping the vid during the crowd shots to see if I could see myself. I'm convinced that I saw the back of my head =P

"Sakura Nagashi" was the best selling MP3 on Amazon Japan for 2013! (Remember ... It was released November 2012 ...!)

Amazon Download Charts

The Goddess doing what she does best, slaying hoes without even releasing anything.

The POWER of GODTADAhhhh! she might be unaware of this while sleeping somewhere.

cause that song is a masterpiece.

Utada yawns, it becomes a headline
Utada farts out one single song, tops digital sales chart of amazon year after it was released

cause that bitch is japan's national treasure.

utada records her fart
becomes number one song ever
michael jackson who?
love this woman

I'm glad, that song was a masterpiece!

Wow that really came as a surprise.

Can't believe she managed this without really being active.

She opened her Window and said HELLO ... That was the Promotion for the next 5 years ...

I hope the Anniversary Collection of First will sell good ... :yes

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestselle...f=pd_dp_ts_m_1

Number 1, duh.

But it had a huge tie-in, Evangelion 3.33 one of the best-selling movies of the year, it even outsold One Piece

kobukuro who?

:love she can't be stopped!

sounds irrelevant

Ah okay I didn't know that. So maybe that's why

Wow, this girl is so successful even without making much promotion. It's the power of the almighty Godtada! ;D

Didn't Hikki had some sort of hiatus period back then too? Was it around deep river era?

I never knew Utada was a farmer.

*insert picture of Utada on the farm*

ugh I can't find that picture

She breeds Kumas

Yeah she's an active farmer.
On Animal Crossing.

Waiting for the new album Farm Station.

First Farm
Distant Farm
DEEP FARM
ULTRA FARM
FARM STATION

ultra farm best farm ever.

And dun forget Utada Hikaru Farm Collection Vol. 1 and 2 ;).

Lmao, what the fuck have I started.

I'm imagining a mixture of folk, blues, bluegrass, twang, and hardcore hillbillie.

And then 2 months later AKB releases a song in the same style.

And then a month later Perfume rehashes the same song but in electro.

And then a month after that, ayu copies that same electro song, but adds in more rock elements. Then announces an engagement.

Welcome to the Utada thread lol

"You are always gonna be my hoe".

"Slay With Me (A Ho), Slay With Me"

And LOOOOOOOOOOOL!

No, darling. That was CANCER.

Cancer? She had ovarian cysts, didn't she?

If other singers know what is good for them, they won't DARE release anything the week this album drops out. Looking at you AKB48.

let's not forget her american albums, EXOFARM and This is the Farm!

1.) Come Back to Farm
2.) Me Farm
3.) Merry Farm Mr. Lawrence - HAY
4.) Apple and Farm
5.) Taking My Farm Back
6.) This Farm (Crying Like a Hoe)
7.) Farm Part II
8.) Dirty Farm
9.) Farmin'
10.) On and On (the Farm)

P.S. how you been dude...I haven't talked with you or any of the other "reviewers" for like...4-5 years. Goddamn lol I miss y'all.

Lol I'm dying.

Farmin'

lol

HAHAHAAH!! You just made my day! :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

^+1

Seriously that farm talk just makes me lol quite hard. :D Just what I needed in the middle of Ayu's marriage meltdown. 8DDD

... I just love this Girl! :love

Nichiyou no god is the JAM!

http://i.minus.com/ib5HHkOeM1tap.gif

How big is the chance they'll announce an overseas version of the First Love 15th Anniversary Edition? :3

I've found someone else who loves it, so I'm glad I'm not the only one.
It's the only song I can listen to on ultra blue right now

Nichiyou is awesome. It's my walking around berkeley in the morning song.

Because she's lazy

Nichiyou no asa is a lovely song. It's also one of those songs that I couldn't stand at first because it felt so boring but these days it's one of my favorite songs on the album♥

That song is so relaxing. Which is what Sunday mornings are all about. Very soothing, serene, calm, and gorgeous arrangement. If y'all think that's boring then you better not enjoy Beautiful World or Stay Gold. Fucking snoozeville right there. As well as Heart Station the song. Actually, especially Heart Station. Song is weak.

Nichiyou no Asa is the only song I skip from Ultra Blue. F that song.

You mean you can actually make it through Dareka... Without falling into a coma, and through One Magic Night without wanting to blow your brains out?

So weird people don't like nichiyou... I feel it has all the elements of what the Ultra Blue vision is, and uniquely Utada.

My least favorite song from each of her albums is as follows

First Love
甘いワナ ～Paint It, Black

Distance
タイム・リミット

DEEP RIVER

Exodus
About Me

ULTRA BLUE
WINGS

HEART STATION
ぼくはくま

This Is The One
Automatic Part II

Single Collection Vol. 2
Hymne à l'amour ～愛のアンセム～

All of those songs are amazing. One Night Magic a little less so though. I usually skip over it, and Kairo.

Dareka is a gorgeous. And it's not really like other ballads either that people release. I do wish her vocals were better for these amazing ballads though :(

And. WINGS amazingness.


Her composition skills own my life. What is wrong with you people. No wonder Hikki forums are so trolly! Whatever! Ultra Blue best album ever :yes

(COLORS doesn't count)

You don't like time limit? :'(

What IS the ultra blue vision though?

How did I miss this?!?....and we're still good...most of us are still talking though they are forever locked in this League of Legends talk that I can't deal xD.

ZEKE. HOW DARE YOU TALK BAD ABOUT DAREKA NO I'LL PRAY FOR YOU

Omg who all plays League of Legends!? Tell some of them to add me! (Well...the ones I know like Lex or Radiant Dawn (I think his name was Ethan...?). BuceTheCaboose is my username lol

Heart Station is an OK song.
Beautiful World on the other hand… I'll say that it IS my favourite song (or at least in the top 5).

I actually think HS is the best song in the album. Of course Beautiful World is well done, Stay Gold is so good, FOL is fantastic, ... (yeah the whole album is a masterpiece :yes).

I'm just baffled how one can think Nichiyou is boring yet enjoy those type of songs.

And best song on the album? Plz. Everyone knows it's Take 5.

Flavor of Life will probably be my #1 like forever.

on ULTRA BLUE Passion pretty much kills everything else on hikki's discography, this song is heaven.

HEART STATION, best song might be Beautiful World or FoL, HEART STATION the song is a festive boredom.

I just ASSUME everyone knows and thinks Take 5 is the best song on that album. How could you not lol

When someone says "the best song on HS is", they're obviously just talking about the next best song.

A song on HS being better than Take 5. lulz That's why *I* come here. You guys are alright.

teiku 5 is pertty but the problem was that I was amazed by it for a week and then got out of it. Maybe I was listening to it too much, but on the long run, it's Beautiful World and FoL from that album that survived.

DEEP RIVER song is the most amazing for me from utada.

Take 5 is the greatest thing in the universe and if you disagree you're delusional bye

I LOVE take 5, its my third fave HS song.
But nothing can beat beautiful world for me (or nijiiro bus for that matter).

BLUE is my all time favorite song from Hikki. <3

Lex doesn't get on much (military work), but I'll let Efanz know

I listened to take 5 after smoking once and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

You're right... Beautiful World is simply amazing :love..HS is kind of boring...

NO. :eviltongu

I don't like Hikki singing in that higher pitch for too long. I think that's why I dislike Beautiful World. It's annoying. I also feel it's the most repetitive as far as melody is concerned in her songs, no?

There are many songs in her disco that throws it into the sea. Please.

It may be a little repetitive but I really don't mind that..Stay Gold is also quite repetitive and I really like this one too.

oooo you are my kinda person lol Blue is also a genius song.


I still haven't decided whether Take 5 or Passion is her best song of all time though.

I'm thinking Passion wins just...because...it's a little easier to listen to.
