[Utada Hikaru] *Her Star Shines On and On In Her 30th Thread*

[NintendoHTF1242]

Is it just me, or does Sanctuary sound more. Cleaner and awesome? It sounds like she re-sang it, I dunno must be me.

[amorphose]

It definitely sounds different to me. I don't think she re-sang all of it though. She might not have re-sang any of it... But it's definitely polished.

[mcluva420]

noo T___T so much for the best week ever -_-
hope hikki recovers, but hope she doesnt come next week cuz im on a trip =/

[AyUta]

^ Nah, you're good. She's not supposed to go anywhere for the next two weeks

[emi♡]

this is actually kind of good news for me, because I couldn't make it this week...if I will be so selfish lol

at least...I mean...I hope she still decides to go...if not...that sucks...

I wonder how she got sick I hope she's feeling okay...

[dreamland2.0]

I hope she gets better!!
I decided to cancel my amazon.ca order for This is the one, as it didn't include the bonus tracks
I'll have to try and get the American release somehow!!

[Kaiouforever]

I was planning on seeing her in SF...

ugh.

[CoriKaru]

As soon as I went to first play the American Version of the Album I went to play the bonus tracks.

Well I just went to play one of the main tracks and just realized it's got that messed up ordering still and wasn't corrected to have Japan's tracklisting. Really sucks.

Also Utada definitely didn't resing "Sanctuary". And just to be sure I double checked and listened side by side to both the old and new version and she didn't. The new version does sound different though. It's more fuller. It's like they broadened Utada's vocals and gave them more weight and depth. They're not as skinny anymore. Looks more widened if that makes any sense. They fill up the empty background more. At least that's how I interpreted the change because when I hear music I see it as well. Yeah.....

Utada’s been diagnosed with an acute case of relapsing peritonsillitis. (I’m not a doctor but I think in simple English that means she has a tonsil infection.)

yess LOL
school would be almost over by the time she comes

i dont feel lik waiting for her to come and then buying TITO.
guess i'll buy it tomorrow or ASAP

[Meat Pao]

Lol the promo page says 3 bonus tracks from Kingdom Hearts instead of 2 @_@

[Temari_2]

I didn't know that Hikki was currently ill. I hope she feels better. Not sure if I'm going to buy the TITO album I'm still indecisive. This past weekend I bought "Heart Station" (2 years later) because it was 20% off at HMV so I felt I was getting a bargain.

Getting PMs from people who want the album?

[Keiichi_JPU]

I never even noticed Amazon.com has a video where Utada comments on her album, so for the people who haven't seen it:

http://www.amazon.com/This-One-Utada...1018604&sr=8-1
(scroll a little bit down)

I love her comments on Poppin':

I can't wait 'till the Europeans hear this track..

she's teasing us here >__< will she promote it here? please do!

[Linoa62]

Not liking the unconfirmed details of this single at all. I'm becoming really disappointed. I want NEW material.
