oh yeah besides that I remember the interview that she nonchalantly said 'I think she (ayu) writes her own lyrics, doesn't she?'

LIKE DUH she knew that. I know it's not a big problem but oh well she never said 'She's a great/good artist'

awww man, that video cut off right before my question for her >o<

she was so cute <333 i'm still in awe!

Thank you! Someone else who feels the same way! Every time she goes on a show and boasts about how HUGE she is in Japan and WHO she is working with I want to throw something. She could use a piece of humble pie.

^ really I think Utada is very humble whenever I watch her interviews.. I think she replied about ayumi in a very nice way. Seriously, people should not bring up ayumi whenever they can with utada... I think its really silly.

Ha ha fantastic! Glad that someone is carrying on my tradition.
And yes, you are welcome for the radio interview. That was me! (really!!!)

really priceless..honestly i don't want Ayu to collaborate with Hikki...i'm really not interested in duets

Yea really, how on earth would she know that.

Wow really? I've always perceived her as being so humble and down to earth, she always seems completely unaffected by her mega stardom in Japan. She's a bit awkward and "geeky" as she said herself, but I'd never think snob.

that's funny,.....

Ha! Thanks for posting. :)

i heard the host says
"she(ayu) sucks.I won't buy? her"

LOL!!! Everyone that she wants to do a collab with are dead. XD Thats hilarious and sad.

NO lindsey lohan and paris hilton! and NO to a Utada-Ayu collab; that would just be awkward with their style difference.

Well, i guess the people who turned up for the event would be more savvy in japanese pop matters so it's not surprising they know who ayu is. The interviewer on the other hand, very uninformed... I don't think hikki and ayu would go well together, they each have such distinctive styles. I'd rather they stay solo and never collaborate.

Please can you tell me what they said?

I don't understand so much!

So...one said AYUMI!! and Utada said: a japanese singer...

and after?

haha, this is too hilarious!~~
utada's expression is like "wtf are we talking about ayu for?! focus on me please!!"

I would have shouted some random Morning Musume member just to figure out what the reactions are going to be.

:roflmao

I think no matter where she goes, if someone knows Jpop they're going to try and bring up Ayu... It's been like that since her debut really lol. Although I love Ayu, this was Utada's moment, and I could imagine it a bit awkward for her when yet again someone mentions Ayu when she's trying to promote her American CD.

I think if the roles were switched and someone asked Ayu a question about Utada (on the radio for example), Ayu would be like, "Utada?... ANYWAY MY NEW RELEASE IS GOING TO BE REALLY GREAT!" xD;....

Lol I was going to go to that. As you probably saw in that video, there were a lot of people and limited space. That description of Ayu is all right...what Utada really should have said is: "She's the biggest thing that's happened in Japan since me". LOL.

i agree, i have always thought that.

i can't believe how rude some of her fans were either, booing ayu. :no

You all need to watch other Utada interviews she is insanely humble and not a snob at all!!
