thanks for that Jacky

hopefully they'll be able to change that on their site because if it's true then it's prob the 1st time I see a Japan release being released on a Sat instead of a Wed

I just checked the first post, and I have to say that Luv Venus has done such a good job of updating it with new info and stuff. And also he/she is doing a good job with the BoA thread also. ^^ :) I think all threads should be like this, or at the least, updated frequently. :)

if anybody didn't know, CBTM has now been played 128 times. :)

OKAY EVERYONE

800-242-0100 is the phone number for z100

i just called and requested Come Back To Me and they said "sounds good", so everyone call! request it request it request it! this is the most important radio station to get it on ... biggest top 40 station in the nation!

also, if you wanna listen to the station, you can here: http://www.z100.com/cc-common/ondema....html?world=st

^I requested for you :) He said he'd play it.

z100 will play it?! :thud

i feel sorry for BoA. now she's gonna be competing against utada after all :laugh

^Haha, the guy just said "I'll go find it for you, bro!" and that was it. Hopefully they actually play it.

And yeah, I agree, I think BoA has done a LOT more promo for her album but Utada is getting a little bit more in the way of results already.

Utada does have a major label supporting her. IDJ has the connections that LSM doesn't have in the US. BoA's single has been released and she's gotten airplay but not on any of the major stations. Utada has less airplays than BoA, but is reaching a larger audience.

Be careful not to request it too much. Like Ublog said you might actually hurt her chances by calling and requesting so much. So be careful about that. Only call local radios.

How does the requesting work, guys?

Well it's not important for me, since I can't access the site... :eviltongu discrimination, I say!

But I mean, you guys got someone on the phone? ON AIR? or just someone else who's working there?

Promo for Hikki! I don't like CBTM all that much, but I still wanna hear it being played on the radio.

You just call, they write it down, and give it to the DJs later.

ps. My station just played it AGAIN!!

Whats a BoA??? LAWL! :innocent GO UTADA! The U.S's ONLY current >>>Musical<<< talent :luv2

I anticipate this damn album more and more each day. xD The video should be coming up really soon, I think... And it's great to see Utada like ALL over the internet. All these sites featuring her, and she's on the front page of iTunes under "What's Hot" too. ^_^

^ And she's featured in this websites New Music Section! You can hear her speak!!!

http://www.sinternet.com/newmusic30.php

^ That's pretty cool! Yeah I've seen her single + the remixes posted on many a remix blogs and such. It really looks like they are pushing her out there this time around. Lol.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...dafacebook.jpg

I don't know if this is a big deal or not... but a little ad came up for her when I was adding new photos on Facebook!

^OMG! FACEBOOK TOO! *logs on* I only go n my facebook ever to play tetris x-x. Might go on more now!!!

The only ads I get are AdultFriendFinder and the Chinese dude from the Hot Pockets commerical.

i feel sorry for you, melody :laugh

the one night i don't check my facebook, utada appears :grumpy

If anyone's interested, some of the long-time members of U-O and I are going to be making an Utada forum in the next few weeks~ We're gonna try and make it a place where fans can actually go like U-O was because hikaru.sc keeps becoming more of an elitist group of people bashing Hikki rather than a fan forum. :)

If anyone goes there-- you might notice I've been banned. xD I guess the truth hurt them, but it was getting ridiculous and I wasn't just gonna keep my mouth shut anymore. All they did after I made a few crude remarks in a tantrum was pick apart my grammar. Funny because a typical comment there looks like "omgzz bbyz lyke kuu is so hawter than utada, you stan." -.-

i never even go on hikaru.sc anymore (more or less for the reasons you've mentioned, amorphose :D) so i'm all for it! keep us posted, okay? :D

Your username looks familiar.

Were you part of U-O forums before? Hmm... maybe we talked before on that forum, when it still existed, lol.

that seems like a nice idea, amorphose. ;)
i'll definitely want to join the forum. i somewhat agree with your statements about hikaru.sc. it's not as fun like it used to be.

i'm definitely part of the old U-O pack. :D
ll moments ll = _pinkxone

That seems like a really great idea. That place is a MESS.

the only memory i have from U-O is when there was this graphic maker who took requests and I asked for an Ayu signature and she said she wouldn't make it because she doesn't like ayu--but she made graphics of almost every other artist people asked for. Then, some time later, she started making ayu graphics and i requested again and then said she wouldnt make it because she didn't really like my attitude and thought I was annoying.

so then i never went back to U-O....hahahah xDDD

omg, i'm from U-O too and i've always wanted that place back! if you need help with graphics or anything really, i'd be happy to build a new community! i was J@cksta back in the day, haha. :)

[EDIT] _pinkxone: heyyy guuurl! :)

I'd definitely join the new forum when it is up and running. :)

Oo I would love to join the new forum. XD Can you guys try to make it look like it did back when U-O was still around? D:

Haha, wow, hikaru.sc does seem to be pretty unpopular.
Anyway, yeah, I'll keep you guys posted on the new forums and probably make a thread in the appropriate section on these forums when that time comes! :)

At U-O I started out as SakuraDropsX2 and then get my name changed to amorphose after I didn't post for a long time~

Hikki has posted a new MySpace blog regarding "Come Back To Me" being available on iTunes!

hikaru.sc is getting less active somehow and I dun even wanna post there because everyone's bashing/arguing there... I have no interest on that so I give up visiting there :P.

2 new tracks revealed. Thanks to U.Blog for the heads up.

- On and On
- Taking My Money Back

thanks & Taking My Money Back sounds ... interesting :laugh

Taking My Money Back? Omg, LOL.

uuuuuhhhhh Taking My Money Back???

"...all really want is your bling bling bling and your car car car..." :roflmao

:roflmao

I just hope the song wouldn't sound as silly as the title's suggested

Ohhh yay 2 more song titles.. I really like On and On.

Is there any news on the CBTM music video? *__* I'm so looking forward to seeing that.

:roflmao

Kuu took all her bling bling bling and now she's taking her money back!

:roflmao

1st it was Apple & Cinnamon and then now this

man Utada you're good , really good :bchuck

those new titles sound so cool. i'm so hyped for the album!

btw, is this true?

she got 62 spins on the first day?

^ Wow that isn't bad for her first day

Dang! That was a colddddddd snap! :roflmao

Umm she doesn't have to. That title is the hotness. :cool

Interesting new titles. In fact, just judging by titles, I'd rather hear "Taking My Money Back" over any of the other confirmed titles. :P

oh well, I guess not all the titles will sound good..I'll live with dumb titles if the songs are good~

^Yea, like Rule/Sparkle.

^ Good Titles and Bad Songs o3o?

^ Omg, how can you call Sparkle a bad song!? Lol.

^especially since it didnt even come out yet....

sorry to butt in but can we please don't start another 'war' on here ? the previous thread/s already gotten into trouble because of all this un-necessary commotion

anyway is it confirmed that the album has been pushed back to a later date now ? if so when ?

besides, the poster meant songs that are GOOD but have bad titles.

thus, she likes rule and sparkle, but things the titles aren't great.

:yes

It's all opinion .__.;;

you can't say something has a bad title, because it's preference. Just like some people may not like the song, but l love the title.

New video message from UTADA! OMG! SHES SO FUNNYYYY! LOVE HER!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihvt_jiSdC8

Or you can view it on sinternet

yay i'll check it out :D

LOL THAT WAS SO CUTE :laugh she's hilarious. i loved her warm coat and hat :P

^ I love the part where she picks up the phone...and at the beginning where she does the mic check....and then at the end when she does that pause and then says bye LOL

she seems a lot shy-er/serious when she's on Japanese TV o_o;
A lot more srs-business.. xD

I never imagined she would sound like that in English. Her voice is deeper than I thought it was.

MIC CHECK!!

- Taking my money back (refund mix)
- On and On (top and btm remix)
- On and On (Off and Off remix)

^ She has a strange like....almost perfect English sort of an accent...like its so perfect it sounds like theres an accent....shes amazing though.

btw xheartstation, i never knew that YT account was yours, lol. i've randomly watched your uploaded videos before :P

^ LOL hope you enjoyed it. I'll probably be gone in like a couple of weeks....once Avex gets the copyrights to Asia Tour 2008 x_x I uploaded the whole PCDL when it first came out on my old account and bam. Suspended after 2 weeks

:laugh :laugh :laugh That's such a cute video. I love her personality.

Also, since we were talking about Hikaru.sc the other day, I tried to log in and look what I got:

:laugh Evidently they think AHS ppl are trolls.

Not to be rude, but honestly I'm glad she doesn't listen to some of her fans. This sounds like it would be epic fail. If she listened to most of her American fans who like her J-Pop stuff, she would be flopping so horribly.

that's retarded , those people should learn to grow up :rolleyes

yeah you have made a good point on that

^ Kumi?

"my love goes like, on and on"

^I was thinking more of Aaliayh.

"Your love is a one in a million, it goes on and on and on..."

The video was so freaking adorable! ^_^
With every bit of information, I get more and more hyped for this release.

And regarding the Utada forums I mentioned starting up.
It's me and two other people from what used to be U-O and we're talking to a few others as well. We wanna try and get something up this weekend, so if anyone wants to help PM me~

Also, we're gonna start out on a free system at first, to see how things go. Any suggestions as to which boards offer the best free sites? I'm looking for one that gives you a lot of customization when it comes to the layout~

^You know Im like addicted to that video....and i keep watching it over and over....and I just noticed something...like a random epiphany...like OMG! At the beginning when she does the mic test and at the end when she says "I've covered all my basis" its so funny cause she sounds like a boy...like I was thinking...she sounds like Mulan when she was pretending to be a dude xD

Oh wow! The video was kewt. MIC CHECK MIC CHECK 1,2,1,2 was my fave part. She sounded like she was finna spit a bar or something. lol Like my boy Tablo from Epik High. :heart The phone part was funny..."I'm sorry I picked up the phone. I felt like-felt like I had to. It was a very natural reaction. I'm sorry. I'm sorry......sorry so anyway...." :laugh

LOL at her picking up the phone in the video xD

Lol I'm happy to finally get a chance to see more of her personality, thanks :D

i just watched that video.
haha wow shes a weirdo...

*click!~fsssssssssh*

Lol I love Utada so much. So cute and funny!

Be positive. We are all so cute. We are trolls, yet we are cute and got lots of fans.

http://www.saynotocrack.com/wp-conte...8/12/troll.jpg

o_O.... I think someone else in this thread mentioned that they got banned too. Jeez, that forum must be messed up if people are getting banned so quickly. -___-

OMG! I read ur last message on there and dude, it was soooooo epically funny that I had to save to my photobucket. That was the best eff u post eva. *bows to you* :laugh The peace, love, and **** you part was pure genius. (I would post it but do to ahs being profanity censored, I'd get in trouble.)

If they think everyone in AHS is the same, they need to GTFO the internet.

How many people in here around the world?
and their argument seems like this

(1) AHS has different kind of people around the world
(2) People from AHS are trolls
---------------------
Conclusion P1) AHS has different kind trolls around the world
(3) They are different kind of people around the world.
---------------------
Conclusion P2) They are trolls around the world.

Stupid kids, Utada is a peaceful singer, she doesn't like people to have this argument. Be love everyone.

When Utada said that the Album would be released in a couple of months, I figured that meant the Album would be pushed back as expected, but then it occurred to me that this video could have been shot some time ago so it doesn't necessarily mean that.

I know Utada keeps saying her Album is "Good Pop", but I hope there some serious and dramatic songs on there and some weird and crazy songs on there as well, if not just one to take the same place that "Kairo" and "Teiku 5" took on their respectable Albums.

Snap, Crackle, POP Babey!

EDIT:^Use that as a Title Utada! Minus the "Babey" of course. It would go along with "Apple & Cinnamon" as well. A whole cereal vibe going on.

^ I didnt really like Teiku 5 but I loved Kairo and something like that would be nice

Methinks some people don't understand the difference between Utada and 宇多田ヒカル.

^ Same People;

completely diffrent artist ;D

Umm, "Kairo" is on ULTRA BLUE.

This.

Why people expect Utada to be doing songs like 宇多田ヒカル's "Passion" or "Teiku 5" while trying to break into the American pop music scene is beyond me.

Oh well even though I would like her American music to sound like her jpop stuff, that will likely never happen as it seems that this time Hikki wants her music to be mainstream and popular xD obviously~ it would still be nice to have at least a couple of songs that sound synth-popish~

From U.Blog:

That thing just keeps selling!

I've noticed it too. At least she is aware of what she is doing and she is trying to find a compromise between what she thinks good music is and the everyday mainstream junk.

Good music? For me, in a childish way, good music should be catchy while i get drunk.

Well seriously, i dont think there is one standard format of good music. It really depends on people how they look at it.

Already asked for it XD

Also, she had dinner with someone from VIBE magazine tonight! Article, maybe? :)
And she is featured as the artist of the month on the radio station for the Madison, Wisconsin area.

^She looks sooooo evil in the first pic. :laugh But I must say, she is working the short hairstyle. I didn't really like it that much at first but now I'm really loving it on her. Way to rub on me Hikki, way to rub it on me. :bgiggle

She looks like she's contemplating something evil in the first pic!

"Mwahahahaha I'll take over America with my new album!!!!"

Wow amazing smile! I love the first pic....second one is ok but not one of her best. She looks so goddam pretty though....and nice ring she's sporting there....on her.....middle finger....
