News:

Utada is working on both albums at the same time!!

NEW SINGLE???
Utada/Ne-yo collab (for her new american album??? *GASP*)

chat away, kumachans!

^:roflmao

I LUV THE TITLE SORA! THE BEST ONE EVER! :laugh

Yea, I am so hyped for this collabo between Ne-Yo and Utada. Yipee!

Utada is hawt :yes but not with her uber short hair, I should try to date her, shes around my age :think

^:yes

I hope that Utada is going long-haired....brown or black maybe?! Oh, I hope that Utada and Ne-Yo perform the song on Music Station or on Hey! x3 Also, I'm a bit skeptical of this new song because there hasn't been a short clip of the song and the song os released next week. I hope that this isn't fake. My heart will be broken!

i don't really like her brown hair (the recent one)

hopefully, she'll go back to black

or maybe blonde?! (that'd be kinda horrid XD;;; )

^Oh, god! No! I will not except Utada if she goes blonde! If anything I'd rather for her to have red hair. Traveling anyone?! :innocent

Btw, here's some more info on the Utada/Ne-Yo collabo ~Thankies to :Hikki from Hikaru.sc~:

so, it's basically ne-yo's single, but it has utada in it..

BIG

LET

DOWN!!!

Yea, but hey, we get to her UTADA! :leech I seriously think that Ne-yo and other big producers are gonna be helping Utada on her English album. I'm sad though....I can't hear the clip of Do You! :weep

I don't like Do You at the moment...

I don't like the new song with Ne-yo. I mean there is only a preview of it but it's awful. Im semi excited for stay gold.

Well, the collab will be released only in Japan >_< not world wide publicity for hikki.

THiS iS HAWT. But ugh, Natasha Bedingfield. ><

^What's wrong with Natasha Bedingfield? Her song "Rewritten" is HAWT. Her vocals are outstanding too. No need to hate on her. ;)

I just heard the clip. It's good but Utada's vocals were shaky. No doubt that if she sanged this song while she was in her Exodus era, she would have blowen this song out of the water. I'm glad that she and Ne-Yo have did this collabo. Heck, I'm glad I've heard some Utada period. You know, this is very sneeky on Def Island because they releasing it digially...in Japan. Can this song break FoL's record? :laugh

^ It's Unwritten, and gave it to Oxfam as soon as she sold out. But they didn't except so I threw it away. The song itself is the most annoying song of 2007, but not by far.

Anyways, here's another rant. I srsly doubt Ne-Yo even bothered to visit Utada, let alone re-record it with her. I reckon it was simply a case of, "Here's your money and a vocal track, now work with it. Oh... and I like you voice, Utada?". :grumpy

her voice is kinda shaky =( but it could be the vibrato XD;

Listened to the song a few times now, and it isn't getting better. :|

i was NOT expecting a ne-yo collab. this should sound interesting.

Oh, that sample was such a turn-off. D: Dying cats.

You just hadn't listened to good R&B music yet! I like though. I've played like 10 to 20 times! :P

@Beauty (lisa): Yea....that's what I thought....it's a weird but unexpected collabo. I didn't even know that they were on the same label! :shrug But I'm glad it's Ne-Yo and that overrated Chris Brown!
