[Utada Hikaru] is singing her 9 year old memories in her 33rd thread~

[Amrai-chan]

SF please! (and let's hope I have a way to get there)

[amorphose]

I think it's quite irritating that some people are actually complaining about this... How can you be upset over Utada performing for her American and European fans that have wanted to see her in concert for so long? I understand some of you may not like her English material and want her to go back to making Japanese stuff-- but I find it to be extremely selfish behavior to just want her to give up.

She'll undoubtedly resume releasing Japanese material after this tour, if not before. So, please stop complaining and let us that actually appreciate this decision enjoy it. Thanks.

[CoriKaru]

I was expecting some Japanese material at the start of next year perhaps, but now I don't know. The tour is short though so there's still a chance. This tour is really for the fans so I don't expect anything big to come from this where it'll pull her away from Japan. Like Sephora.

Update from U-blog:

It's official! I'm gonna start saving up

I'M SOOOOO COMING TOOOOOOO!!!!!
Oh god XD I'm all hyper now!
I've been waiting for a tour with a concert in Europe for such a long time >//<;;;
ZOMG XD
13 November they start selling those tickets? Dibs on those!!! *zet een tentje op bij de locale tickettenboer*


@Corikaru; (did welcome you back, wb! XD ) I think it's possible for her to sing us a new song?
It's not that unusual to do for artists under a US label..
Probably a lot of English songs, though..
I'd love to see a live version of Deep River, I soooo hope she's going to sing more than just her TITO album ^^;

[mellody]

No Japanese Material until next spring, maybe summer...

I think there's a small chance she may release a Japanese single in January, before the tour starts because of how close she seemed to having it done in her recent blogs.

No you didn't, but I was waiting. :p
Welcome back yourself.

I'm thinking if she does sing any Japanese songs, she may save 1 or 2 of them for an encore.

Being that this tour is so small scale, perhaps the actual duration of the performances will be small too and she might only do like a handful of songs, which means she wouldn't even have to do everything from "This Is The One" or even take anything from any of her other Albums either.

Of course we'd have more fan uproar and upheaval such as what happened with Sephora.

[AyUta]

geez, she better come to san jose, or at LEAST SF....or i'll be pissed at her and never buy her stuff again! ...>_>

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ I think you're lying.

[omably]

Oh god, when I saw this: Utada Concert 2010 in O2 Tickets

My heart literally stopped for a second until I realised it said O2 rather than OZ, as in Australia.

Stop playing with my heart Utada.

[Polyrhythm]

OMG will the tour dates be released already!!?! So excited to be finally seeing my favorite singer!

That sucks, lol. Well, maybe she'll come to Australia one day. It's not like it's very far from Japan. You should start a petition for all the Aussie fans.

Howdie, thanks! XD *glomp*

And yes, I've been thinking about that too.. 800 seats (in London) is really not that much! But HEY, I thought it was going to be February 12th?
Now it's February 14th? o-O;
And dear god, I need someone to stand ready to buy a ticket for me there XD
800 seats will be sold out in one hour or something the like!

Okay, quit the fan rant, back to the concert... I agree with you CoriKaru, she'll probably save them for an encore..
How much songs will she be able to sing?
She'll perform without a doubt Come Back To Me, MCML, very probably Me Muero and maybe two or three other songs.
And I'm REALLY sure she'll be singing some Exodus stuff, like Devil Inside and such.
For an encore, IF there are japanese songs.. err... Maybe... Colors? Or Heart Station? (would LOVE that one)
Sorry for all the hyperness, but I'm very, very, very excited XD

I don't believe that the actual concert is going to be small.. Even if there are only 800 seats, Utada won't travel that much to only sings 5 songs or something the like <_<
Or at least, that's the positive part of me that is convinced of that..


@Keiichi_JPU; if we both manage to get our hands on a ticket, care to tag along? *belgian high five*

[Andrenekoi]

^If she is going to sing something onJapanese, it's most likelly her biggest hits... First Love, Automatic, Can You Keep a Secret...

[Rogue]

Heheh, you're talking about the songs from in the beginning of her career! XD Except for Automatic, I don't agree ^^;
I bet on the other hand that Sanctuary is going to be there or Simple&Clean in the encore ^^
Wonder if they will keep the same tracklist for all te concerts?

[Picaflor 7/4]

she better incorporate some japanese songs. 2 albums worth of songs isn't much. but I also want her to sing some exodus songs. she only had 4 at her last concert with really wasn't much.

I bet she will sing japanese songs at her concert though. if she performed exodus "utada" songs at her UU06 "utada hikaru" concert, I bet she'll have "utada hikaru" songs for her "utada" concert.

No, I'm not... First Love is her biggest hit, Automatic is her break-trough single and Can you keep a Secret was the best selling single of 2001 in Japan... those + traveling, sakura drops, colors, wait & see, hikari, addcted to you (her best selling single) and flavor of life, are her biggest hits... being first love her most recognized song (and the most covered one too)

Passion and Hikari are big among western fans, but if she sings something from Kingdom hearts, she is most likelly going for the english versions...

[Polyrhythm]

Cmon......any day now....I need tour dates >< Gotta make plans
