In case it hasn't been posted, there's a 1:30 Stay Gold download floating around. It's up at hikaru.sc; sorry if it's already been posted and I just can't see it

Trying to hold off until listening to it in full

It actually might not have too much new in the preview but from what people are saying, there's something

I like the background music, and the melody/rhythm she uses to sing the song. But man I really hate her singing in this. Absolutely, positively.

It's so beautiful, I love it, the background music sounds so nice, her vocals aren't as good as usual, but they're still good.

I love how raw her voice sounds. Not all musicians are perfect.

OMG YES. That outfit and those synths never get old. SO AMAZIN'.

Anyway, I listened to the shampoo CM with the Chinese lady once and I can't remember the song, but I remember that I liked it A LOT. God, Utada Hikaru just gets it right with EVERYTHING these days.

LOL! I watched her UU06 concert some weeks ago and I LUVED IT. I think choosing Hikari as the ending song to the concert was a great choice. Her worst performances were Keep Tryin' and Addicted to You. I like those to performances by Hikki's vocals were too shaky and it seem like she was out of breath. XD I understand though. Her best performances were Hikari, Colors, Final Distance, Traveling, and Be My Last. I felt that Hikki did a terrific job on putting emotion to her vocals and them wonderfully.

I haven't seen her other concerts but I tryin' to find them...damn youtube!

Ooooo, I luved the Kremlin Dusk performance! It was so powerful! I luved her Devil Inside performance but her 'You Make Me Want To Be A Man' performance wasn't good at all.

BIG Hikki News Everyone

Beautiful World/Kiss&Cry charted at #151, selling 717 copies this week. It's total sales now stand at 228,716. It has now been confirmed by Oricon that it is the #20 single of 2007 in Japan.

Flavor of Life has sold 644,259 copies this year, placing #2 overall on the Oricon charts. Flavor of Life's downloading sales are totalled to be over 7.7 million+.

Stay Gold has done exceptionally well this week on the chaku charts. It debuted at #1, making Hikki the only artist ever to debut at #1. It has sold more than 150k in first week of availablity.

Special Hikki News

According to U.Blog and livedoors, the recent 4 day “free chaku-uta download campaign” of Utada’s debut single “Automatic” garnered over 500,000 downloads. The campaign, held between December 7th and 10th was in commemoration of Utada entering her 10th year as an artist in Japan. Hikki, her dad, and managers were all surprised that it sold that much in it's first week of free download.

According to U.Blog and itunes, Utada ranks in with 4 songs in the top 15, 2 of which make it into the top 3 most downloaded songs of 2007. “Flavor Of Life” comes in at #1, followed by “Beautiful World” at #3, “Flavor Of Life -Ballad Version-” at #9, and “Kiss & Cry” at #14. This is the 2nd year in a row that Utada has the best selling single on iTunes Japan (”Keep Tryin” was #1 in 2006).

According to U.blog, Sony’s Japanese PC download service MORA has released their download ranking for 2007, and unsurprisingly, Utada’s “Flavor Of Life” comes out on top. MORA is 2nd only to iTunes when it comes to PC downloads in Japan. GIGA, a chaku-uta service in Japan, has also released their 2007 yearly download ranking, and “Flavor Of Life” again takes #1. According to their press release, this is the first time since 2002’s “Sakura Drops” that Utada has topped their yearly chart.

According to U.blog and Musicman, Musicman has released their AM/FM radio on air chart for 2007, and Utada ranks in at #1 and #9 on the domestic chart with “Flavor Of Life” and “Beautiful World,” respectively, and #5 on the combined domestic/international chart with “Flavor Of Life.”

Check out the link for the rest of Japan’s big hits from 2007.

That's all for now!

It truly has been a great year for the Hik-miscter. I'm so excited for next year because I want to see Hikki dominate again next year....and amoung other things. She has a single and two albums coming out next year! yippeeeee! *screams* Ahhh...I'm so excited. I'm tryin' to get some money to buy the single but I might not be able to any before the single comes out. If that's the case, I'm just going to buy the albums. V(^o^)V
