[Utada Hikaru] ~There's Chemistry like Apple and Cinnamon In Her 29th Thread~

[ayuayu798]

I can't wait for her new single! I wonder what she'll come up with next... She's so unpredictable!

[Purple Neko]

I love her hair like that @_@~!!

[Rogue]

She said she wanted to do something really weird after this album (This Is The One)

So I think we can hope for the best! XD *hopes for something like Beautiful World*

How are the sales now for This Is The One in Japan?

Agreed!

good news , This Is The One's awarded Gold status for shipment of 100K copies in Japan - http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/200903.html

hopefully it will be changed to Platinum in due time

[CoriKaru]

She's been working on this Single for some time now. With all that she's doing in America, it could all just mean she's writing a little bit here and a little bit there. I just hope her next song has some strong vocals like the ones in the background of the Choruses in "Passion". Except this time in the forefront.

I've been watching some old live performances of Utadas', such as "Passion" and "Beautiful World" and it was a nice reminder of how good Utada can sound Live. Not that I forgot. People actually mistaking Live performances for Lip Syncing. I love when that happens.

I like how she sung it on here. I think it's the Utaban one.


Oh and the CDTV performance.

[CoriKaru]

The Utaban one is probably my favorite. That's actually the one I just rewatched recently and had in mind in my previous statement.

I like her adlib at the end and how she ended it.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Utaban is the better of the two. She doesn't strain so much when singing "hohou wo tsutau" like in CDTV.

[TakaSama]

I wonder if her new single is also going to be tied in with the new Evangelion movie...

[pommy48]

me too

shame that it didn't got an actual PV , I'm sure that it will be very entertaining to watch

[Andrenekoi]

I don't think that any BW live is that good... x_x

[emi♡]

^well....just as ayu's voice has changed...so has hikki's lol

I think this is what we can expect from her for live performances for now on. At least she always hits the right notes, and is always on key.

and OMG this is a long ass performance...the utaban one.

The second one is better in terms of like...how she holds each note. Flows better. But she misses some stuff.

why are both of these 4 minutes long for being on tv...isn't that like really long? Do these shows always do that? lol

[KarenPang]

what she was at Utaban last year ? I love that show LOL (especially when ARASHI comes onboard , never ending insulting battle be it physically or verbally between SMAP & ARASHI's leaders Nakai & Ohno )

I wondered what SMAP's Nakai & Ishibashi talked to her about during that time when she promoted Beautiful World / Kiss & Cry

For some reason everytime Hikki performs on TV she will sing the full song and not shortened versions... lol. I don't know why though.

I saw Come Back To Me being played earlier on at MTV China

cool
