I think HEART STATION won't sell as well as Flavor Of Life sold because of the announcement of the new album;

Well, I know I would prefer to buy an album over a single.

I know! I saw your post...and you my new hero! :laugh

anyway....

I love those styles too.

I'd for her to cover to look something like this too:

:laugh Wooooot! Go, hikki!

^ Thanks ahaha.
That pic is amazing LOL

:laugh

Ye welcome!

Oh......

Mini-HIKKI News Everyone!

HEART STATION will air on radios on January 21st! It will be played the same day as HS is on sale on Chaku-uta.

According to U.BLOG, the Recochoku CM (which will begin airing towards the end of January) features original content that was filmed on Utada’s Christmas Eve photoshoot.

That's all for now! :)



I WANNA HEAR IT NOW! I can't wait until next week. EEEEEE! Yay! (okay, i'm done lol)

:shughug Thankyou Foxxy for defending all of us.

Luv, where did you get that awesome Hikki pic?

It's my pleasure HikkiMad. LOL
Eii Shan that pic is a bit edited right?

^No...i didn't d anything to that pic! It was like that when I got it!

@HikkiMadness:From the website you told me to go to to find that awesome hikki pic you had one time! :laugh

Thank you for that site. I have made some siggys from the pics of her on that website! :shugshug



Guys....look! It's seems Hikki's title of her name about is called DEATH! :laugh

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...albumtitle.jpg

Considering the circumstances, I think HEART STATION / Stay Gold would be considered a success if it sells ~150k.

YEAH...DEATH
I WAS ON JPOPMUSIC AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT TOO.
IT SEEMS IT'S THE NAME...
LORD

LOL

Just like Ayu's new album was called Thorns and Roses. :D Now watch it turn out to be real and me be proved wrong. :)

But was Utada that talked about DEATH on her blog...
Someone already posted that.

^:roflmao

I feel so uncomfortable with her having that title! It's like eerie to me! I'm very superstitious too. :laugh

@Criminal: For some reason, I think it'll sale more than that. :shrug I think that EMI should have included some extra stuff to be on the safe side or at least waited until the single was release to tell us that the album is out on 3/19. Oh, well! Her promotional team seems to know what they are doing.

@HikkiMadness: :roflmao I never knew that. That's a nice title name actually. Who are these people who keep making up these titles?! It's sooo funny! :laugh

Now I don't know whether I think the title's real or not. :shrug I just know I don't like that title very much.

Here:
アルバム完成までもう一息DEATH

かなり限界DEATH

一刻も早く終わってほしいDEATH

( ・(ｪ)・)ﾉ ほなさいなら～

Well, she didn't say 「ニューアルバムタイトルはＤＥＡＴＨです！！！！！！」or anything, so maybe she was just feeling like adding the word DEATH everywhere. Maybe she just described her feelings since she's so tired and all.

...So it is real? Why would she call it that? On the plus side... I wonder if now that the album is called that, now I can get my friends to listen to Utada? They listen to songs about that kind of thing...

WHAT. NO.

Translation:
Even the album completion breathes DEATH. another

Considerable limit DEATH

DEATH that it wants you to end as soon as possible

[final line unintelligible for excite :(]

I don't understand a thing. Period
LOOOL

EDIT:

Madkool said this in the Utada Forum.

"As for the DEATH part, the first part says something like
"A pause until the completion of my album(...)DEATH"

I can't really translate the second line :\ Something like "Fairly (limit/bound) DEATH" What that would translate to, I have no idea...

And finally,
"I want to finish DEATH right away.""



LORD hope is a track, not the album's name...
It's so darkish =\
Well but thinking better...maybe is a good title LOL
DEATH could mean her new life, with more difficulties (LOL) and because of her divorce...

^I know! I'm so lost! XD

@HikkiMadness:They're gothic?! :laugh (I hope I didn't offend you by saying that)


This should be Hikki's cover for "DEATH" than:

http://wiki.theppn.org/images/thumb/...Blue_Promo.jpg

:mini

awesome. her eyes do have a look don't they?

^it looks like she is about to do that Kamehameha blast in the ULTRA BLUE cover to me!

They just listen to emo music, they're not emo though and I wasn't offended at all. It's kind of funny though because they think I listen to music. In my opinon no music is weird, but some lyrics that they listen to scare me. :P

Back on Hikki: Her eyes do look a bit... well fluorescent on that cover. Well they do to me.

They look kinda black/blue. Shiny. Odd. Yeah.

WHOA !!! :OMG

Luv, I can't figure out if that's a real picture of her or not. I'm gonna go with not and that you or someone photoshopped her head onto a Malice Mizer~esk photo. XD

And now we have two different translations that are almost complete opposites of eachother. :/ All I can 100% for certain say is that she says she 'wants to finish DEATH ASAP' (moreorless. A direct translation would be that she 'wants to finish DEATH immediately'). But I hope we know for certain what it means soon. :/ This'll drive me nuts. :(

And you guys are gonna think I'm crazy, but I've never listened to Boku wa Kuma. >_< Everyone I talked to told me they didn't like it, so I decided not to listen to it. ~_~ Now I can't find it anywhere :(


Edit: OMG, I'm on POWDER SNOW initiate now!!! When did I get to there??? I wanna go back to A Song for XX!!! NOOOOO!!! DELETE POSTS!!! DELETE POSTS!!!!

i love that promo pic, but i never liked her song...therefore i never got into her =\ (me talk about nana kitade in the blue)






i read the blog entry (at http://hikki.blogspot.com/ ) and when i read 'i see hte end coming', i think she's referring to the ALBUM?...

^that's what I'm thinking. Maybe DEATH is just something completly random and doesn't mean anything at all. :shrug

I think you're on the right track on what Hikki was trying to express in her blog entry.

seriously everyone takes things too seriously



'OMG SHE SAID THE END IS NEARING SHE IS SUICIDAL HAHAHA THAT HO SHE IS JUST KIDDING RIGHT?...RIGHT?! OMG WHAT IS SHE IS SERIOUS OMGOMG NOOOOOO HIKKIIIIIII KUMAAAA'







plus she said she was working on the last song of the album previously =\

anyway, hopefully, she's in another GOOD MUSIC VIDEO. I mean...flavor of life was a joke. I was expecting a BE MY LAST ~EPISODE 2~ type...but no...I get that.

So yeah.

better than bw/k&c. SHE WASN'T EVEN IN THEM, AND BW NEVER GOT A FULL PV >(

I guess chances of a full PV are slim now so...but maybe not. I wanted to listen to one of the songs by watching the one with the PV but maybe I'll just listen to Stay Gold in ful and hold off on HEART STATION

^:weep You made me depressed just now! (joking!) I hope she does one though. Otherwise, I'll seem like Hikki is being lazy and isn't all that excited for this single...:cry

makes me depressed too and because she doesn't do the whole CD + DVD thing, I guess no chance for an album PV. But Hikki is one of those artists who have amazing songs to make up for lack of PV...well not really since then you really really want the PV for an amazing song. But let's look forward to HEART STATION and keep our fingers crossed for a PV!

But I can understand her being busy if she's also doing her English album. She'll have to have PVs for those right?

i'm sorry, but if she does cd+dvd album NOW, i'll scream. i'm sorry but flavor of life + beautiful world + kiss * cry = crappy flavor of uglyness (crying time)

xD

But yea, I agree. Now, if the PV's were anything like UB's singles....

Yeah, I would've loved CD + DVD for both Ultra Blue and Deep River

I agree with the English album work. I don't mind if she holds off on PVs for a while because she's really busy working on the English album too. But if she doesn't have any...and with her in them...I'll be mad! :laugh

But uh, as for her PVs to the English album, I doubt it. Besides those crappy fluximation ones she had for her first English album, Exodus. They were boring :no

Well we got "You Make Me Want To Be A Man" and "Easy Breezy" so maybe 1 or 2 and hopefully, with better promotion...I would just like 1 PV with Hikki in it this year. She really needs to get back with the director from COLORS!

^ True true :yes
I forgot about those :laugh

Yes yes! More promotion in the US! I think Timbaland is helping her out again too, so he better do a better job. Not saying that he didn't do his part last time but he could do better. I mean, he's a great artist, and Hikki is very lucky to be working with him.

As for her previous director, there is no word on whether she is going to work again with her ex husband, Kiriya(tsp?). But he was a great director :yes Personally I think they should get back together again(not romantic wise) and make some more great videos.

XD
Yuppers! What do you think, Sora? You think he's going to come back and make some great videos again?! :shakehead

i hope so. she needs it! if she values her life...

:laugh She sure does =/ Which was her last actual PV? Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro? I think it was?

Maybe she doesn't want to release UH5 Single Clip Collection :P lol

no, it was keep tryin', cuz that was her last single before boku wa kuma (well...that could count as a pv too :D)

^Ohhhh! :D I see. Wow, you really need to get your butt in gear Hikki! XD

Eee, that song was cute XD I don't see why people are getting all worked up over it being on the new album though :shrug I mean, I wouldn't like it too much myself if it were on the album[It'd take up space for a new track >.<;] but it's cute :laugh I liked the way she made it 'specially for kids.

the director of COLORS Pv is not her ex! >_<

Oh really? O.O I thought he made ALL her PVs? Ahhh~! :headache

Donald Cameron I believe was the director of COLORS, correct me if I'm wrong. But that PV was beautiful and had loads of artistic value so they should work together again.

Really?! I thought it was Jake Nave...or whatever his name is. Well, if Kazzy doesn't direct her PVs again, I certainly want Donald to direct. That Colors PV was awesome.

Nope! XD He directed her PVs from the Deep River to the Ultra Blue era.

@ayumisrael: She needs to stop with those funky Clip collection. People prefer artists to release a DVD with PVs on album now. I believe Ultra Blue could have sold way more than what it did.

@Sora: :roflmao Yea hikki better release a PV....or I'll be waiting for her! XD

Oopsies XD

Hehe, anyways! I gots to go guys. I'm tired out :D Bye bye and G'night!

^nite!

Btw, I LOVE YOUR SIGGY! Where did you get those pics from....don't tell there from tokyo-nights. I didn't see them there.

LOL! You ava is soo cute! heheheehe I love it! People can't tell that Hikki doesn't look adorably cute in that pic.

I wouldn't mind if Hikki's Automatic and Addicted to You PV directors directed her next PV. I love those two PVs especially Addicted to You.

Hehehehehe Yea, I'm on MSN! hurry up! lol

Yea.....I love that little two-scene PV! XD Little Hikki was adorable in that PV. I love the First Love PV too. I choked up a little when I saw it. :weep That song is sooo beautiful and PV just made me wanna....i can't find the word but all i know is that I LUV THAT PV! lol

I know! Hikki could have kissed a guy she was in love with...or at least hugged him....even slow danced with him. lol It was a cute PV though with all the little bubbles and Hikki sitting on the table singing while everyone dance. (I knew the meaning of the PV though! T_T)

PVs directed by Hikki's Ex:

Final Distance, traveling, Hikari, SAKURA Drops, Deep River, Dareka No...., Be My Last, Passion, Keep Tryin'

after that..she have no 'Actual' pvs anymore...:no

btw for ur info, Donald Cameron was supposed to direct Hikari's PV but he's busy and can't make it...hence hikki's ex was called to do a last minute resolve...that's why she ended up in a 'washing dishes' pv :yes

It feels that the latest PVs have been cheap filler PVs, I mean a studio? Scenes from an anime?

I guess he was the only who motivated Hikki into making great PVs.

:weep Donald Cameron, please come back! Heck even the guy who directed Easy Breezy should direct another PV for her again. (I luv the Easy Breezy PV!)

:roflmao

I didn't know Donald was suppose to do another one for her. If he had done that Hikari PV, I bet that would have been her all time best PV. Wow! I really wish he had done it now! lol Kazzy just disappointed me with the Hikari PV though. I mean, we're watching her...wash dishes! XD After seeing the PV, I was in the mood to wash dishes and I don't like to wash dishes. The funniest part of the PV was when Hikki left away from the camera for like a long minute and all we're seeing is a sink and dishes! :laugh OMG! I adding to this to my funny PV list! XD

i love hikki PV style...like sakura drops, keep tryin...but looks like she won't make another PV with her ex...

^ Whoever thought that needs to get a breathe of fresh air! XD (I'm joking!)

When you hear it though, it sounds really cool like it could be the remix of Easy Breezy! I actually like it. You can't hear what she's saying so I don't know where they go that thought of knowing what she's saying from. :shrug Cool thought though.

HAHAHA !!!

all i heard is moaning and weird sounds coming from hikki!!!

BUT i did heard 'Heeeeeeisssss eeevillll Iiiii ammmm naiveeeeeeee' >_< pretty freaky!

^:roflmao

I didn't hear anything but moaning UHPlus! lol Oooooh, I miss the Exodus era. Even though it was short, I thought it was her coolest era ever. Hikki's fashion was shown doing that era and I liked it! I sooo want the long hear back! :(

can we preorder heart station/stay gold now in CDjapan or yesasia???

I don't know about CD Japan but I pre-ordered HEART STATION / Stay Gold from yesasia around mid-December. And CD Japan just put her untitled 5th album in stock so I'm guessing it'll be on yesasia soon!

:weep I need to get my credit card soon. One of my friends told me not to pre-order her album yet adn just want for the OS or HK version. He said we'll get extra goodies or whatever, when you order that version of her album.

Those versions need to come out soon.

COLORS director is not her ex-hubby LOL
It's:
http://wiki.theppn.org/images/thumb/...ld_cameron.jpg

UHPlus already said the PV's that Kazuya directed.
And her English Music Videos:
>Easy Breezy: The PV was shot in Los Angeles, and it took two days to shoot. It was directed by Jake Nava.
> You Make Me Want to Be a Man: The PV was directed by Kiriya Kazuaki.
You forgot that PV UHPlus LOL

I miss Kiriya, his PVs were so meaningful and symbolic. Hikki has given us some not so good PVs, I think it's time she gave us something fantastic.

I just don't get why he doesnt direct anything...
I mean, they both said that still are friends =\

^You actually believe that, Foxxy?! *jundo chop*

joking! I don't think Hikki would feel comfortable working with Kazzy again. I mean, if she did, I think all of her feelings for Kazzy would return....just my theory! lol As much as I want them to team up again, it's not happening. I have hope though.

If Kazzy doesn't work with again, I want Donald to be her official PV director.

Yeah I believe friendship after marriage LOL
Cause my uncles and aunts (I have 10 uncles in total , all married except those 3 that divorced) LOL they are friends after their divorce...
I think they need to separate the things: now is just work >he is a director and >sahe is the artist, that's all.
Well but maybe you're right, maybe she feels unconfortable...
That's sad =(

Eeee! I got them from this French site. I've never been there before, but when I found it, I was like, "O my god! Tons and tons of pics that I have never seen before!" :laugh Those pics are actually from her Nintendo DS commercials. They were so cute :D If I can find the site again, I'll give you the link, kay LUV?:yes

That french site is UTADA FOREVER?

O.O; It sounds familiar! :shakehead
Must...remember... :headache

Right when I seen your post, I went and tryed to look it up on google, but I couldn't find it. Do you possibly have a link to the site, Foxxy? Then I could maybe say if it was the site I was talking about. :D

I know two french sites.
> This
and
> This weird one

It's the first one!!! XD Definitely :D

WE FOUND THE SITE LUV!!! :laugh

Thanks Foxxy!

Eeee! Okay! I hope to find the Nintendo CM with her in that cute little red dress. :laugh Hikki is such a big kid! XD

Hmmmm.....but....I wonder why she wasn't the spokesperson for the Nintendo Wii. Hikki could have made tons off of doing that....not that she isn't wealthy or anything. I do think she come have gotten more exposure than ever in America. lol

EDIT: Yaaaaaay! Thankies Foxxy and AyUta! :grouphug GIRL POWER! :laugh

There was two CMs for that commercial :D
Part 1:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HveG7JM2mAU

Part 2:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=942Ft7iaSqo

--They're really cute XD 'Big kid' fits her exactly. Me and her could be really good friends considering we both love the Nintendo DS :P

That would have been very cute XD Didn't Hikki have a short show with her playing the Wii in Japan? Or was that only Ayu?

:P

I've never seen that CM before... Hikki looks so cute >.<

thanks!

^ No problem :laugh
Haha, I thought she looked just adorable as well. I know there was other commercials too but I can't seem to find them :shrug

According to U.Blog, the ballad version is going to be on the album as one of the two songs with strings [alongside another one she is proud of]. DAMN! I wanted the original version but I guess this means the potential for more new songs!

there was one where she went to a party (in new york? they were all white people and she was speaking english) and they did this huge ds 'orgy' (XD not really just a huge connected game)

"HEART STATION" is looove. <333

I honestly never thought I'd be this into Hikki, but she's just kicked my ass this/last year, haha.
