HEART STATION will definitely hit the million mark, my question is why people care she does it by the end of the year?

Also, UB was certified by RIAJ for one million copies, so you can count that CD too

HEART STATION is doing exceptionally well anyway considering it's not a Best Of album.

I mean, just look at the Monthly Album Charts right now. Half of the albums are Best Of album!

kame

yea, i wonder what utada sang. POL?

[AyUta]

Probably, now that I think about it. I just want to see it

[Sundae]

No pictures? Isn't there usually a little runway for these things? I wonder what she would have wore to that.

[AyUta]

Maybe pics will come later. I'll check U.BLOG regularly, like I usually do. Hopefully something of the sort will pop up.

[Sasha]

thanks for news.
I wonder the same question too

[Luv ~Venus~]

OMG! My baby Oguri was there?! I luv him so much wit his sexy self. Yu Yamada is so lucky to have such a sexy guy by her side.

O_O






-anyway-




Wow. I'm surprised she showed up to such an event. Usually Hikki really a fan of name brand stuff but it's really cool that she was invitied there. Hikki has been on the stylish side lately...starting with Flavor of Love. The clothes she styled during the Heart Station promotion was awesome. I had seen that side of Hikki since Exdous. I wonder if she wore something impressive that made Dior like it.

As for the song she performed, ugh i wanna hear it right now. I know she didn't go there just to perform a damn japanese song. It's gotta be her new song or at least I hope. Ugh, come on IDJ. Give a preview or something of the damn single already. I hope Kanye was on her album or at least helped with her album. Ugh, six month is so far away.

[omably]

^OMG Yeah I really really want to here what she sang, I just really want this album to come out now!!! And gosh I really hope Kanye doesn't appear on the album, I just want pure Hikki!!!

[[kokoro♥]]

Wait, her new album is out in six months?

[AyUta]

^

[Beauty4123]

well, sometime in the next 6 months, i think?

[♥ you!]

Hopefully it doesn't come out like..EXACTLY in 6 monthes. At least we have a time frame though.

I will take a guess...new single in november/december and the album in January?

[CoriKaru]

I know Utada has 2 select Months out of the year that she likes releasing her Japanese Albums so I was seeing if that could possibly be the case with her English Album releases but she released Exodus on October 5, 2004 and I know that's too soon. But maybe the month she chooses this time to release her English Album will be that other month paired with October that she only releases her English Albums. Speaking of so. Do you people think that Utada will release anymore English Albums after this?

Hallelujah, Amen, Praise the Lord, and all of that Jazz.

[Luv ~Venus~]

november/december....eeeeee, just in time for her anniversary I hope. No more ayu stuff, Namie stuff, or Kuu stuff. I'm just ready for new some Hikki stuff.

@Cori: It depends on how this album sales in America and Japan. I think Hikki signed a 2 album contract deal so that's why she prolly is doing one now as it may be a time limit record deal. Someone on hikaru.sc had a theory that IDJ gave her another record deal was because Exodu did well in Japan so they thought that was a good profit there. Of course that was his theory.

It's weird, because I bought Exodus in Amsterdam, and they didn't have UK version but American version! That's weird right >__> Also, it's not even on ebay!

I really want it though, I think the UK cover looks way better, so I really wanna see the booklet too. And there are 2 bonus tracks of You Make Me Want To Be A Man, which is one of my favorite Exodus songs.

I got mine at yesasia at around US$16(?) 2 years ago but i'm not very sure where you can get one nowadays. By the way, the only picture in the booklet is the album cover, the rest is just the lyrics, quite disappointed =X

[Meat Pao]

Oh dear I've not listened to HEART STATION for about a month already ;_; I want new material ):
(Actually I'm not really looking forward to the English album, lol)

Off-Topic: Check out my new Hikki set y'all!!!
