You...have....Hikari....on your cell phone?! (ToT) I only have a recorded version on my cell phone and it's poor quality. How did you get Hikari on your phone, ayumisrael??? :cry

Memory card reader and I've put it inside my phone, if you've got MP3 on your cellphone so you can play it, but you need some device to transfer it.
I have 1 GB memory card inside it ^-^.

Yea, I have a RAZR with an mp3 but I don't have a USB cord that'll fit my cell to the computer! (ToT) I guess I'll have to stick to recording songs until I get the neccessary stuff for my phone. As of now, I have Kiss&Cry as my ringtone. XD I like it as my ringy too.

I can see Utada being a bearded lady in a circus. And I mean that in a good way. She can totally captivate any audience.

Yea, I think next year will be another AWESOME year for her. I'm thinking that she might be the #1 artist yearly next year. Her Japanese album is gonna do wonders....beat kumiko's album if not wonders! :evillaugh

Her album will do wonders, but it will be nasty. And not in a freaky way. In a dirty way.

She needs to get back into the studio with Timbaland, sex herself up, and conquer the West. I am not fond of her ethereal techno nonsense. You are a mainstream artist lady. Accept it, embrace it.

:laugh

Yea, I definitely luv 2 see some dance rountines (with Hikki actually dancing) in her PVs. No just her twirling looking all happy and stuff! XD I'd luv for to be a little more of a fashionista and get a better stylist. She wore a few outfits during her FoL promotion and they were ugly. lol

I actually liked FoL's cover outfit :o

I was talking about her MS performance outfit. She wore a pare of pants and a hoodie! *sigh* Her stlyist could have done better than that! :no

I didn't like her promotion pose either!

NO, HIKKI! NO! :no

that just reminds me of goatse....:/

:roflmao

That goat piccy was funny. I saw a pic where someone made a pic of Hikki thinking of a goat! XD

haha, nono....not the sheep picture...

its goatse...you know what...nevermind. its disgusting.

^Show meeeeeee! I never seen it! Show me! Show me...pretty please?! :eyes

you can google it

but honest to god, if you scare easily, or have a weak stomach - DON'T.

i have heard that word before...PM me a pic pwease? (i prolly know what it is and will prolly regret it...)



EDIT: nvm, i googled it...and regretted it...

i probably shouldnt have even said anything eh?

I think.....I DON'T WANNA SEE THE PIC! I won't look at it....at the fear that I will be scared! (ToT)

Someone describe the picture to me in HQ.

You gotta ask sora....I dare not look at the piccy of Hikki and the goatsie! :no

I love those!

LOL, she kind of ruined it for me, but I can always listen to the studio version. :P

Anyway, omg. I proclaim 2007 as The Year When Utada Hikaru Started Kicking Butts Again.

I thought it fit with the phrase "Flavor Of Life". Utada's just a simple person inside who doesn't need flashy attire to impress. :D

haha you know...im pretty sure if i were to describe it, id get banned
HAHAHA

Wells, never mind then. :[

I am curious what is the new single cover...

Stay gold...
hmmm :D GOLDEN UTADA~?

I was thinking Utada tanning on the beach, applying sun tan in an oh-so skimpy bikini.

:D

:eek Slightly Scary, I would like a PV kinda like Sakura Drops or Passion, I miss those PVs.

^Yes (:weep) I really like the melody of Stay Gold. It's so relaxing and calm....f-king beautiful!

OMG! I find a funny clip of the young Hikki back in the day:




LMAO @ the parody of Automatic!

^ROFL :laugh

I luv Stay Gold preview so much...it's soooooooo beautiful! :luv2

Aw, the video doesn't work anymore. :(

Iam really in love with Stay Gold.
It's really a mix of Passion/Sakura Drops, I think.

Oh what image are u talkin' about?

Like this?
http://64.111.216.18/ul/5372-paris8.jpg
I am not sure if I can post the whole picture out.

If it doesn't allow, please edit my post, thanks :D

*screams* NOOOOOOO! THAT'S TOO TAN! :laugh

Hmmm... I think it needs to be a bit more revealing. #:yes

Oh, dear, not like that. >_<

Hey that is what "Stay Gold" means. :P

Sorry, I am just joking around. It is holiday. We need fun.

Is that Paris Hilton? Since when did she get boobs? O_o.

since when did she not? XD (what, you think her bf actually LOVES her? HAHA)

I know, LOL. :)

lol, yep, though this is a horror pic =P

MINI-Hikki NEWS EVERYONE!!!!!

Beautiful World/Kiss&Cry has entered it's 17th week on the charts, selling 740 copies this week! Beautiful World/Kiss&Cry grand total is 230,287. Since it is a new year for Oricon, the copies sold this week carries over to the 2008 year! (yay!)

After many weeks of not charting, the popular female song of the year, Flavor of Life, has once again charted back onto the charts. Flavor of Life has entered it's 36th week on the charts, selling 710 copies this week. Flavor of Life grand total is now 644,969. Since it is a new year for Oricon, the copies sold this week carries over to the 2008 year! (yay!)

:shimmySpecial Hikki News!:shimmy

According to U.BLOG, Hikki has updated her blog, indicating that on Christmas Eve, she had a full day of photoshots, including artists shots as well as imagery and material for an unspecified commercial! (I hope it's the tie-in for HS!)

That's all for now!

OMG!!! both FoL and BW/K&C are on chart!! insane! hikki is of course the number 1 female artist in japan now

^Yeah, she is and as the release date for single draws closer, she's getting more and more popular. lol I had a dream that Hikki's PV won't disappoint us at all. There were many symbolism and amazing outfits for the PV. lol Kazzy, anyone?!

I'm like sooo excited for 2008! Hopefully she won#t disappear from the J-music scene for ages like she did with Exodus though. As much as I like her Cubic U stuff and Exodus, her Japanese stuff is better.

^I'd be holy pissed if Hikki did that again. Hikki needs to remain active for no on. Even though she might care, if she doesn't remain active than she could kiss majority of popularity good-bye. (:cry) I hope she treats us with a 2009 album just for the sake of keeping us happy! lol I can't wait to pre-order the album though. Yipeeeee!

Oh, austin! I think the opposite! lol I luv both styles but her english stuff keeps me more entertained than her J-stuff. Exodus was the shiznig! XD I'm addicted to Wonder 'bout! lol

^ I'm addicted to Cubic U! She should do a ten's years remembrance and make a new album under that stage name or something and release it against Koda Kumi's Kingdom, muuuahaha! (The 30th of Jan is the closest to the 28th). Or maybe she was supposed to do that this year, because her first single was released on the 28th of January in 1997? Oh wells. Basically I want Cubic U style music back! Is that too much to ask? :<

^NO, IT'S NOT! I LUV HER CUBIC U STYLE!

Yea, she should have made a 10 year anniversary of Cubic U. Afterall, it sold very well in Japan and it was her purist R&B album...still is too. Oh, I wish Hikki would return back to those days...IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? :< Imagine if returned to her true R&B roots, she prolly do a collabo with Namie....*daydreams*

On the Gold Coast here, at our convention centre, we have a huge book, DVD and CD sale for all the rejected stuff that never sold in the shops, and boxes of the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack were for sale so i got a copy =D YAAY ;D I got it for $8AUD..so thats like... $6USD?

^LMAO!

You bought it just to hear Hikki, huh?! :laugh

Did they by any chance have her UU06 for sell?? I really don't want to pay $65 USDs for it. I don't have that type of money! lol

Mini-Hikki NEWS Everyone!

According to U.BLOG, Oricon has released their list of most popular 2007 Japanese dramas, and Hana Yori Dango 2, which utilized Utada’s “Flavor Of Life -Ballad Version-,” comes out on top. No surprise there, as the drama helped propel both Utada’s “Flavor” as well as Arashi’s “Love So Sweet” into this year’s singles top 5.

According to U.BLOG, Tower Records Japan has released their yearly top 20, with Utada coming in at #13 and #1, with “Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry” and “Flavor Of Life,” respectively.

:shimmySpecial Hikki NEWS!:shimmy

You all know and luv her. That's right, Miracle Hikaru is officially debuting to the music scene. According to U.BLOG, the official Hikki impersonator is debuting to the music with her album called, MIRACLE, which is schedule to be released January 23rd! Let's hope her first album will be as big as Hikki's first album. Go Miracle!

That's all for now!

I'm not surprised Hana Yori Dango 2 came out on top; they got 2 of the year's most popular hits. Flavor Of Life just rocked last year!

Miracle Hikaru's album...no comment. But who knows, maybe she'll be good. Okay, so that's a comment.

Still looking forward to HEART STATION / Stay Gold!

Miracle Hikaru ?? I love her!!
She's so funny and has a great voice like Utada!

Look guys what's that image of Utada , the one used in UBLOG Banner.
I want it too...

That's .:Hikki:. banner. Ask her on hikaru.sc where she got the piccy from. All I know is that it's from a magazine article featuring Hikki. I think it came out around last year.....to promote ULTRA BLUE!

I'm happy that Miracle is debuting to the music scene. I just made thread for her. Even though it might not last long, she deserves one for making me laugh like crazy at her Hikki impersonations! XD

GUYS ...

THEW NEW COVER OF HER SINGLE

http://www.emimusic.jp/hikki/release...jake080220.jpg

What a weird cover, that sucks :o

I want a photoshoot of her LOL

Ok, that's SO Hikki! Typical of her, with WEIRD PLACEMENTS of text and design.

Yeah :roflmao Her producers doesn't has any sense of design.

at least she makes the great music!!

And I hate the way EMI always put their copyright in big text on the front of the covers. Why can't they be like all other labels and put it on the back? The cover sucks. :[

Not always. Sometimes her songs aren't that wonder, like Beautiful World and Fly Me To The Moon -2007 MIX- were.

seriously? talk about plain, lol

I love that new cover. It's simple but cool. :luv2

OOOH. It's like a motel in some Arizona desert! :O But where's Stay Gold? :( Yeah, anyway, since there isn't a picture of herself on the cover I'll skip buying this.

Thank god it's not there when you actually buy it. Think how horrendous that might be! :O

Well, at least she produces her own songs. :)

About the cover...

It's speculated it'll be like "For You/TIME LIMIT", whereas both sides Front/back have a cover!

*Looks at cover* Where did Hikki go? *Runs around while searching* Hikki where are you?
Seriously, it's a shame that Hikki's not on it.

If Hikki were on it, it would take up the whole friggin picture with just her face :giggle:

Eew, that cover suckz0r. Maybe she was having an acne breakout that day or something. O_o.

Ouch.

Awww no hikki on the cover >_<

I believed some posts of mine were deleted... =\

i wonder how Stay Gold'll look then...

Boring...:yawn

I like that cover a lot, actually. It's simple.

I'm excited to hear about Hikki's second English album, too. I didn't know if she'd bother with that again after Exodus tanked--whoever said that there's two distinct Hikki's--Utada in the US and Utada Hikaru in JP--was quite right: they're the same woman, but as artists and styles they're totally different.

Happy to hear about her new stuff coming out =D I'm looking forward to it.

i just listened to cubic u...and iunno, it all sounded tie same =\ i still love how ya doin'? <3

in your opinion but not most of us..

beautiful world/kiss & cry is one of her bests after DEEP RIVER i can say...

as for the cover :innocent :innocent :innocent she could do better or the art creative director can do better...as least show her face? :yes

I have to agree with Cloud_Honey, I thought the Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry single sucked.

haha..i think Be My Last & Boku wa kuma sucked!


waiting for alternate cover for STAY GOLD (if there's any ^_^; )

radio airing of STAY GOLD and anything for Heart Station...

and MOSTLY ..both new albums coming this year... i bet they will be much much better then ULTRA BLUE & EXODUS!

Beautiful World was PERFECT!! BESt song of 2007, one of the best JPOP songs ever!!!! If hikki continues to release stuff like that...She just keeps getting better, and better.

i just heard Stay Gold, and it sounds lovely

To me hikki is an artist who gets better at each release:

CUBIC U: Horrid crap

FIRST LOVE: annoying trash

DISTANCE: Good to average album

DEEP RIVER: Very good album

ULTRA BLUE: Excellent album

I hope the next one will be as good as ULTRA BLUE

^i totally agree with you
her music at the start was not my style - but i respected her for being able to write and compose at a young age
but she's just gotten better and better with each album<3

My most fav albums of hikki are Distance and Deep River though ironically my most fav song by her is Passion which is on ULTRA BLUE but I loved Distance and Deep River more as whole albums... then ULTRA BLUE and then First Love ^-^".

Flavor of Life is a nice song
Beautiful World amazing!!
Kiss & Cry - really good

The only one I didn't like (and can't like) is boku wa kuma mainly because it's a children songs so it's hard for me to connect to it, I wonder what will she do with it in the new album.

I personally think it looks much better than any other covers of hers with her face on it. :shrug

i liked first love =\
cubic u i haven't even listened to in entirety @.@;





BEAUTIFUL WORLD IS DA BEST SONG EVAHHHHHH (ok, not really, but it' up there)

The radio rip of Stay Gold has been uploaded by Beauty4123 in the Asian Media Downloads forum. :D

Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry was an awesome 2007 single. Hikki created a nice blend of songs, including a really snazzy cover song. I didn't like FoL that much; it's a nice song, but it's a bit overrated, in my opinion.

Yeah, FoL is a bit overrated indeed. i like it, but it's overrated LOL

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*goes to asian download*

holy crap!

*SCREAMS*

IT SOUNDS SO GOOD!

*SCREAMS*

HIKKI!

*SCREAMS*

yeaa, i love the song too. has a nice melody to it.

The song is awesome! I love the piano!! Too bad it's in crap quality >_<

It was cute that Hikki did a song for the kids. :D
