Omg, The Rapture is coming!

And I guess Hikki got her Dirty Desire on. And on.

[S4MU3L]

Her moustache on the cover is iconic

[Minttulatte]

You people are too obsessed with looks. Stop it. :'D Hikki still sold 7 million copies with this album, why do you care how she looks like on the cover? It's the music that counts and First Love is hell of a epic debut album.

[ayumisrael]

Yep, she had a female version of a nice Bar Mitzvah moustache on First Love's cover.

[Delicious n Bold]

While we're talking about awful-ly amazing album covers lets do Farm Station I mean Heart Station. she looked like a real tired mess on that cover.

[Minttulatte]

^Please tell me you're trying to troll because that was too funny.

You're not listening to the cover you're listening to the music duh

Heart Station's cover seems to be more iconic than First Love's cover.
Like "this seems/sounds better than that." You're not actually listening to it (whatever it may be).

True but if the cover wasn't important then she wouldn't have bothered making a cover and we would've gotten something like the single collection covers, but she wanted us to see her hairy lipped ass on the cover to establish the mood of the album.

Hikki gave birth to a boy o_O
A new album is also on the way, she worked on it during her pregnancy but it's not done yet.

What?!??

Congratulations Utada!!!

OMG NEW ALBUM FKYPELVKSOOCKSLVLWPPACKM LCLFLCLFLWLSL
I ain't gonna lie this makes ayuma's lil quick mini album seem so boring.

[JackieRos]

Wait what?
She was pregnant?!

[orangeakira]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME@?!

she had a boy!? She was pregnant!? SHE HAD SEX!? You think you'd mention these things maybe once or twice to the general public.

I didn't realize she was side saddling pee wee herman in private. I knew they were married, but it never even occured to me that they would have done anything. I thought she couldn't have kids? Didn't she have a tumor in her uterus years ago that was removed?

Also two things are popping in my mind right now. The lyrics for About me "What if I don't want a baby yet?" Over ten years ago, I guess she's ready now. lol

And now that I think about it, maybe the video for Sakura nagashi was a hint at what she was trying to do? It shows a baby being born. Maybe that was her "subtle hint" to everyone that she was ready and thinking about it.

Completely late and just read this, but tumors don't always equal cancer. She had an ovarian cyst removed. I've mentioned here before that you can have kids unless the cyst causes an ovary to twist. And even then, we have another one

I've seen this rumor mentioned several times on here, but just letting everybody know it won't necessarily cause a decrease in fertility as evident by her baby.

I'm just surprised she kept it hidden!

HOW DID THE WOMAN THAT SOLD 7 MILLION COPIES GET PREGNANT AND NO ONE IN JAPAN PUBLISHED ABOUT THAT?

[Klauser_Bateson]

Mixing those gene pools in secret. You go Utada.

[orangeakira]

I just realized that this baby is going to grow up knowing English, Japanese, and Italian, and that is going to be the coolest thing ever. Please don't fuck this up hikki by only teaching them English.

I had a friend in high school who was mixed race. His dad was from Mexico and spoke Spanish and English both fluently, and his mom was from Vietnam and spoke, English, Vietnamese, and Mandarin all fluently. They decided that they didn't want to "confuse" their son, and raised him only knowing English, and to this day he never got over it. His heritage was pretty crazy. He had family members that spoke Japanese as well. So I went to one of his birthday parties, and his extended family came over and I heard so many languages being spoken, and there was my poor friend only knowing English. He had cousins that were half his age that knew three languages.

I don't think I'd ever get over something like that either.

On a side note. The party was fun and really weird. There were pinatas and tapas, and tacos, and Chinese paper lanterns, and lo-mein noodles, and it was such a crazy cool mixture of two cultures.

Learning two languages is hard enough and you're talking about three?

That's not how it works here lol


I'm jealous. I wish I was naturally fluent in just more than English. I could have been fluent in Italian but that's water under the bridge...
At least the kid will know two completely different languages and even a Romance language.

Well, I have a friend who's trilingual. He was born in Ukraine and his first language was Russian. When he was about 7 his family moved to Argentina where he learned Spanish, and then when he was about 13 he moved to America and learned English. Him and his brother are fluent in three languages, and I never saw them struggle with them. And they didn't even grow up from the beginning knowing all three languages.

so if my friend (and his brother) are both fluent in three languages after learning them throughout their childhood, I'm pretty sure hikki's son is gonna have no problem learning them if he gets to start learning them from the day he's born, and be constantly around them.
