so far it has been played 92 times total :D

almost 100! :D

Looks like it's getting a lot more air time :D

2 more days til we official can request!

lol there is no need to post whenever the song gets played~

^Omg don't even talk. You need to stop posting posts with irony in them.

well njanjayrp i think it only gets updated once a day (or it seems to be) so i'm just posting that update ...

well kawaii otaku - I really have nothing to say to that..I simply think that it doesn't matter if people know how many times has the song been played or not.

^ It's all part of discussion. Any little bit of news is good news. I mean, it's still relevant to Hikki.

GAH! Some changes with Utada's new album!

also

Credits go to U.Blog

Also, a couple of Pictures of Utada at the event have been uploaded onto U.Blog so check it out!

I'm getting more and more excited as the days go on!

hikki looks so cute!
I haven't heard the song yet on radio..

Hikki looks gorgeous in those pics. ^^

Those song titles seem interesting and less plain than Come Back to Me. The album will hopefully turn out to be better that I thought.

ahh she looks so pretty! that new title is kinda weird though, lol. i'm so glad that promotion is already starting!

hehe look what I found on my city's radio site:

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../utada1061.jpg

hikki's there! and boa too <3
you can click on the photo and listen to the song on the site

@ CoriKaru,
the beginning is beautiful! I hope she starts off with it...

It's like building anticipation as the days go on. Hikki's poses are so different than American artists who pose on the arrival carpets. Lol. She really should smile more! Lol. I'm really interested in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence now! I've always loved that song!

I was right. I thought it was a Japanese song. Remembered Aira covered it on a various artists album.
The beginning is absolutely great! :smitten

-blank stare-

i wonder if she looks like that in coversation also... D:

thanks for the album updates

so the album title's all in caps now cool

^ lol Karen I find the gif in your sig very amusing.

and omg the website thing is so cool

:lmfao that has to go to ll moments ll for posting it in the KAT-TUN thread :bchuck

I hope the tracklist for THIS IS THE ONE will be up & running soon

Hi guys! I don't know where to ask or post this but I just want to request actual photos of Utada's UNITED 2006? Thanks a lot!:)

Awww I'll have to visit the KAT-TUN thread sometime then ;)

And I'm excited tos ee the tracklist... We know three (four) of the 10 tracks! I want to know the rest darn it xD;

CBTM has now been played over 100 times ..

it made it to 103 plays! :)

iit seems to be increasing quickly. i think it'll increase ever more quickly on the 10th ...
does anyone have the mediabase for eat you up?

OH My god... "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" made me cry... don't know but for me, it sounds sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooo sad.

it sure does & it's also the same title as 1 of pianist Maksim's songs too

I wonder will this mean that she will be sampling a classical tune or something ?? :shrug

Ooohhh! a classical tune would be so cool. something really new :D

^Nah. I think she's just gonna sample the melody. The beginning part of the song was beautiful. I think FYI is gonna sound good.

Aww I got all excited for a second lols. Now I understand. The melody is gorgeous so I'm sure it will be great.

I hope she just samples,

covers are boring

^and overrated. Some songs just aren't meant to be covered.

aw she looks like she's glowing there!

She looks alot younger in that picture which isnt a bad thing! super kawaii~

Maybe its all the weight she lost...but hikki actually seems to be growing younger...x_x I kinda liked her with more flesh but ah well....as long as shes healthy is not being overworked....like ayu....

She looks so cute!

Wait the radio air date got pushed back!? WTF! did I misread it @_@?

she's tiny in the photo , er I mean petite especially since she's sandwiched in the middle of 2 guys that're way taller than her

I think she looks cute if she were to wear that tank top she's holding in the photo

She looks pretty good in the pic. <3

Her head looks big O_O
And she look older o_O
But I like the clothing! Your favourite picture is also mine, btw CoriKaru ^__^

I've thought of some things they could ask Utada in interviews (IF the interviewer were some guy or girl who doesn't know anything about Utada XD )
IV: "How ya doing?" Utada: "Oy?"
IV: "So, you've came to the US a second time with a second english album. You like travelling that much? " Utada; "hmm, travelling. Onward, Upward, kan you keep up?"
IV: "Can you maybe tell us something about your preferences with boys? There's surely a chance you wil have a crush for some American artist, if you give it a chance"
Utada: "Hmm, that would be, al covered in fluffy brown hair, smaller than me, must love to hug and being silly, oiii"

I'm being random I know but just imagine XD

I like this one too. :)

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...ammyParty2.jpg
I like this one too! she looks so damn good!

^ For some reason that pic kinda reminds me of Hikki from the Be My Last PV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwD0CWUjiOo

Radio Interview Preview anyone ;]

^ Thanks for the Video!

I wanna cut my hair like that! but its too short now xD.. My hair looks like Heart Station hair atm.. Im weird I really liked her hair @_@

OMG utada is so beautiful! the pics are so nice. i think she looks a bit older, but still pretty fit :D

She has aged VERY much in appearence :S

^ Totally out of the blue and random but uh...thats Ayu in your avatar is it not??? @_@ Dayum....I never knew she had such large......boobs......@_@ I mean I've seen the Wocal (however you spell it) thingy but that just doesnt compare....photoshop????

AND ALSO: Why is AHS "unavailable" like every 5 seconds???

Holy crap. Did she lose a ton of weight or what. WOW.

Anyway, she looks nice. Though I've always liked her hair long...(GROW IT BACK!!!! lol...)

Can't wait for CBTM to explode.

That keeps happening to me ...driving me nuts.


And I dont get why so many people have a problem with her hair. It looks great.

^ I get it either. She's one of those people who pull off short hair.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...yPartyBig5.jpg
Lovin' her purse there.

I personally don't like her hair that much when it's short, either. :shrug It's just a matter of personal tastes.

She looks like almost lost balance to stand. High Heel shoes kill cute girls.

she looks great in that black dress :yes

very classy & beautiful

Everyone, please make sure you call your local radio stations to request "Come Back to Me". Click here if you don't understand how: http://blog.utada2.net/?p=817

I've requested it here in Hawai'i at all 3 of our pop/hip-hop stations and they seem to be receptive! Yay!

What a fun purse she has...

What Ne-Yo Has to say about Utada (Longer than in the Press Kit):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjQJULaD4Dc

Oh yeah and Japan release date for This is The One has been Moved to the 14th of March instead of the 4th...suspicious.....and Come Back to Me is LiveDaily's (W/e that is) song of the day.

http://www.livedaily.com/blog/3250.html

New promo pic on that site btw

omg i forgot that the song comes on radio tomorrow :thud i'm out of the loop today, lol. maybe i'll check out z100 tomorrow night to see if i'll hear anything :P (i doubt it, though :weep)

Don't get too carried away with the requesting! ^^''

http://images.livedaily.com/artists/utada-20090209.jpg

Heres the new Pic BTW

wow, it looks kinda awkward (hikki's facial expression, lol) but it's pretty nice :D

She looks really good in that top! The album push back really doesn't matter to me it doesn't effect the US release.

she looks like Nocchi from Perfume with that do. hahaha.

oh! im in love with Come Back To Me (Tony Moran Radio Edit)... i wish the full mix will come out soon.

I though the remixes were the full version? ._.

The thing is....I kinda have a feeling that this MIGHT impact the U.S release....I mean....Utada has already stated that she doesnt think she can release as early as IDJ expects....Iunno....sounds suspicious

awkward angle. D:
Thanks kang for the link. I should probably request from 107.5

You have a point. but If she took more time i wouldn't mind because that would mean that she might be adding more to her album. or changing it a bit.

My local radio station just played it :) Requesting works!!

^ Hoorayyy!

Congratz =[ My Radio Station is an ASS! When I request I get a blank popup =O

Awesome! I would do it but I'm so damn shy... plus I don't really listen to the radio much =(

You all might want to sit down for this or at least hold on to something for support. Is Utada still cutting/trimming her hair?

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...yEvent2009.jpg<---It looks a littler fuller, thicker and it actually looks really good.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...yPartyBig6.jpg<---Looks much thinner and maybe just a tad bit shorter. Of course she could have flattened it maybe.

Utada's hair just really makes her face. I don't think she's aging when in the first picture she looks so good. Not to say the second picture doesn't look good. Just different.

NOCCHI!

^ Looks like she just sprayed it down a bit or flattened it with a blowdryer or something....I mean I dont think she got her hair done before the event anyway....she's the one who said she didnt even comb...

Her hair doesn't really look any different to me in those pics.

Edit: Maybe it's the lighting?

Come Back To Me is now on sale on iTunes and Amazon!!! Everyone go buy a download now! RAARRRW!

OMG GOING NOW iTUNES!

Edit: I has it ahahahahararar Okay I'm done x3

^Then you mustn't know much about iTunes singles. Instrumentals are almost never included.

http://www.apple.com/search/ipoditun...ome+back+to+me

Click here to view it on iTunes, guys! Be sure to buy :)


EDIT: Wow, they just played it again!

^ Wow...your radio station must be awesome...I wish I lived in......South Korea....WTF????

:laugh

thanks for the heads up. Gonna go buy it, and start my little collection of CB2M copies.

:laugh That's not real, I live in Honolulu.

I'm :roflmao irl!

:weep they postponed her album.

Utada.jp: Album Release Moved to 3/14; Message from Ne-Yo

Utada.jp has been updated today with two bits of information: First and foremost, the Japanese release date for Utada’s new album, “This Is The One,” has been pushed back from the original March 4th date to March 14th. Additionally, a video of Ne-Yo’s recent message to Utada has been imbedded on the site. The video includes a little bit more than what was included in the recent video press kit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


:( I ordered Rule/Sparkle in the same order so not only do I (and all of us) have to wait over a week longer for This Is The One, I also have to wait like a month for Rule to arrive :(

I'll do something about it! I'll email them to split my order lol, even though that's not allowed with paypal, I'll try..

^How come 14th March?
Also DCT's album on 21st March and both days are saturdays (while BoA's album is in the middle on Wednesday) I wonder how come and how it will be counted...

^ Omg, don't tell me it would only chart for like 4 days or something. For DCT I know they're releasing on 21st March cuz it's their 20th anniversary.

March 14th ?! it's a Sat :dead2

did you get the right date on that one ?

I guess they just wanted to decrease the time between the American and Japan versions. It sucks especially after all the trouble that Avex went to avoid Utada going against BoA. They even moved DBSK's album back to stop them from going against BoA.

Her new blog entry's made me LOL

Yeah, it is a bit strange releasing on a Saturday (just like all CDs in Australia - off-topic fact :P). The date has been confirmed on Utada.jp.
