[2004] Utada's US radio interview

[lovemimi40]

I still can't get over the guy who phoned in to ask "which album is your song Hikari on". I mean, you get this once-in-a-lifetime chance to talk to her and that's all you can say. And what's wrong with Hikki and constantly giggling? I love the girl to death, but she can't make a proper interview. All you hear is word-giggle-giggle-word.

Ayumi doesn't even really speak English that well, and I don't think she's ever shown interest into going outside of Asia for concerts and stuff. It just seemed like a rude thing to ask Utada, who was essentially there to promote Exodus. The announcers didn't even know the release date of it, or if she was releasing the Easy Breezy single or a whole album instead. Poor Utada had a pretty bad interview I thought...

I don't think the "Hikari" question was all that rude--just some Kingdom Hearts otaku idiot asking bull questions to her. The Ayu-question was a little off-putting in my opinion...I heard the whole thing live because she was doing the interview in Sacramento, CA which is less than an hour and a half from where I live, so I wish I could've had my call go through...>_<

I know....u guys will prolly bash me for this but...I NEVER BROUGHT EXODUS! I mean, I saw it plenty of times at Walmart but I always said that I come back and buy...one excuse after another....and now I feel like such a fool! It was a rare moment for me and I blow it! ToT

*ahem* anyway, the questions that were asked the Hikki was very funny...I mean, i can understand the "hikari: question but the Ayumi question...c'mon! You have AMERICAN fans listening not Japanese....I bet the those people were like, "Who the hell is A-yu-mae?" (Most Americans aren't good at pronouncing foreign names! lol) Oh, well! I hope Hikki has another chance to come on a US radio station again....to answer some real questions next time! lol
