Like - Most Meaningful album or....art work contests or something hahaha. I also love these 'fake covers' that people are doing, we should do some for a future Utada single haha.

The sad thing is - is that I'm totally serious. I don't want this thread to die! haha

This thread is for anything about Utada, as long as it doesn't go way off-topic :shrug I don't want it to die either, if only because I like the thought there's other Utada fans out there still who haven't forgotten about her ahahaha :laugh

I'm like, waiting for some random news from her, like "right now I'm volunteering in France yay!" but her Twitter is beyond dead these days. Her last english tweet was back in April :weep Her latest one was like..*checks*...uhhm ten days ago, but it was in reply to someone.

So I might go and make a fake single...lol

Actually, what is everyone's favourite album? I really love Exodus, Distance and HEART STATION. ULTRA BLUE is good too, though.

Andrenekoi 12th July 2011 01:27 PM

Oh no, not the favorite album again xD
The bad part of loving an artist with such a slow releasing pace, is that we have the "what's ur favorite album?" 5 times a year

That's right! But tbh I never checked the artist thread when she was actually active. I missed out on these discussions. :laugh

...I don't know what my favorite Utada album is :laugh I love all of them. I can tell you my least favorite song is Play Ball >.>;

roanmy 12th July 2011 02:57 PM

I'm gonna try again =P

Is there a CD or something where Utada's take on SUKIYAKI is featured? =))

Rogue 12th July 2011 05:49 PM

Well, I wasn't intending to post something with which I would get backslashed but I get the point, I didn't inted to be rude but I kind of lost my temper there ._.
Sorry if I offended anyone, but it's just frustrating to see people talking in circles in this thread if there's many other things about Utada they could talk about, like most beloved or least favourite picture, who has been to a concert of her and what his or her experiences were, Miracle Hikaru, discuss songtexts and articles or rumours about her, .....
Maybe I'm the only one interested in such things, but it would be something different ^^;
I was lurking here for a while and lost my temper as I said at the beginning of the post, but just ..ARGH. I feel like everything's been said already =.=;

Well, instead of losing your temper you could instead bring up a new topic? Like ask what people's favourite photo is, or bring up an article to discuss?

Don't expect other people to do something that you haven't done yourself. Your outburst was rude, and unnecessary. If you want to talk about something else, bring up another topic.

Haha yeah her last tweet was about stabbing herself while she was knitting or something...I don't know Google Translate is AWFUL.

I actually think my favorite albums are Deep River/Distance. It's so hard to choose though because all of them are really phenomenal.

I'm just curious, do any of us know what Utada's net worth is? I want to like guess at it haha. I think Forbes reported that Ayu's was like 400 mill or something once upon a time.

I feel like Utada has to be well over 100 mill at the very least.

No, it was a cover and isn't featured on any of her discography.

I'll try and find it (I might still have it on my comp).

Andrenekoi 12th July 2011 09:18 PM

Well... she for sure has a good amount of money for herself... with 3 albums among the Japan's top10 best selling (Ayu only has 1), her singles sales and her tie-ins (that are also bigger and most likelly more profitable than Ayu's), I would say she most likelly has enought money for not needing to work anymore... :P

Also, her mother was one of the top Japan singers back in the 70s (still holding the record for the most consecutive weeks at #1 with an album, 20), so, I would say she was never poor :P

Still, in Japan it's forbiden to annouce people's income... They usually announce who paied the most taxes in order to especulate who made the most money... So, we don't know about Hikki at all^^

Not Fade Away 12th July 2011 10:00 PM

^I know she doesn't need to work anymore, I just like to know exact numbers. I can't tell you how many times I've gone on Celebrity Net Worth just to find out different celebrities' net worths. I know her family history and that she wasn't poor (I even have a lot of her rare photos from when she was young and in the studio, etc).

I just wanted a general number estimate of her net worth. Like is she worth 250 mill, 400 mill, etc.

She has dual citizenship in America - as well all know - so I was curious if they would report it here at all.

I know she once purchased a 1.5 million dollar Louis Vuitton carrying case for Kuma, so I know she's rich.

Andrenekoi 12th July 2011 11:00 PM

And my point was... she is ****ing rich and can buy everyone on this forum :P But we don't have the numbers, and most likelly never will...

Polyrhythm 13th July 2011 12:26 AM

^^$1.5 mill? Are you sure that wasn't in yen? :tired

George 13th July 2011 02:02 AM

^ It's probably in yen lol

Well your point :P had nothing to do with net worth numbers :P which is what I was asking about :P

Anyway someone on UtadaNet is attempting to figure it out based on physical sales so I'll wait until they figure something out. :P

@Polyrhythm: Yeah I meant in yen, sorry lol. I think it cost a lot cause she had it customized.

Most of her physical sales go for her Label... Her income will come mostly from tie-ins, cms, concerts, autoral rights from music and non-music related products with her name...

Not Fade Away 13th July 2011 04:16 AM

^Yeah they're calculating all of that too, so I'm waiting for it

Rogue 13th July 2011 06:13 AM

http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic...owbiz-earners/

There you go ^^ At least there's some numbers for 2005 XD
I read once on that japanese wiki that's gone now that she had to pay the most tax in that year of all people in Japan... She sure did do well ^^

Not Fade Away 13th July 2011 07:32 AM

^Ahh thank youu! This is the type of stuff I was looking for lol. Wowwww she earned 12.5 mill in '05, that's insane.

Maemi 13th July 2011 05:09 PM

Since we're so bored, here's a poll about Hikki's hair xD http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...00#post2716600
