Really? I thought Utada released a Single from Exodus like that Summer before releasing "Be My Last" that fall. Or maybe you're talking about from the time she started Exodus and not from the time she ended Exodus. Either way, we're getting to that time where if she keeps with that same pattern, we should be expecting something soon. I'm not though.

(Seriously, she must have gotten back to Japan and forgot she lost all that weight in America. Those pants must GO! (Like Her American Career))

I have some theories on Utada's long hiatus.

1. She figured it was time for another one of her obligatory super long breaks after the sales of "This Is The One" so that her next release will blow up again in sales.

2. She's waiting for her hair to grow out fully so that her image is all set for when she re-emerges to promote her new music.

Because if you ask me, Utada already has some songs ready to put out there. Meaning she has songs that are already written, with tracks produced and arranged already, or even already sung and recorded and ready to ship out with her sitting back just waiting for the right time. Whether the right time is when she has waited so long, fans are just starving and willing to eat up whatever she puts out, even non fans who'll just buy her stuff because they feel they're suppose to or when her image is complete again or whatever other reason.

I know I've said I'm use to and fully acquainted with Utada's long absences and I've even shunned some members who have whined too loudly, but I'm about to become a hypocrite. Full Fledged Hypocrite. Watch me.
