[Utada Hikaru] We're Intoxicated, Emancipated, Unapologetic in Hikki's 35th Thread~!

[zyoeru]

I'm glad she feels like she doesn't have to do flashy shows.

[AyUta]

Yeah, I posted that article and a fan review in the other spoiler free thread because I didn't know if anyone would get angry that I posted it in here .

[amorphose]

If you've got a Twitter...

start adding #HappyBirthdayHikki and #Utada to your tweets! It's already her birthday in Japan and it will be her birthday in the states tomorrow so let's see if at some point between now and the end of her show tomorrow we can get her trending!

Personally, I would be VERY careful with dealing with this individual...I don't trust strangers...but it's another shot for those who got their London tickets screwed up.

oooo Happy birthday hikki!!! ^___^

(It's already the 19th here as well).

[Picaflor 7/4]

Less than a month away. jeeze this is taking forever. -_-

[AyUta]

Happy birthday Hikki <3 She's probably going to drink like crazy @_@

[dreamland2.0]

Happy Birthday Hikki!!!

[aura~]

OMG I couldn't avoid but reading the spoilers xDDD Now I'm so excited, I LOVE the tracklist... I hope it will be the same for the next shows (I don't like the last song but... well... I'm happy with the rest!!) she looked sooo good too!! I can't wait!! 25 days until London!!

I hope they won't the same that happened to Huaka... I would be really angry... I will be there really early...

For those who go to the London show, you still (or there's someone) who wants to meet there and wait in the line all together and so?? maybe we could make a thread if we are meeting there to talk about it ^^

[amorphose]

It's Hikki's birthday in the states now! Happy 27th birthday, Hikki!

My only advice is, when in London, never book a hotel that has less than 4 stars, or you never know what to get, Alot of fishy hotels there, so better to be safe than sorry. A friend of mine ended up having a door connecting his room with a guy he didnt even know. And this was a well known 3+ star hotel...

Anyway, I envy you... I'd love to go to that show !^^

And oh.. Happy birthday Hikki.. And to myself as well

[Hydeki]

Happy Birthday to Hikki! to FuNsTyLe (what a hard nickname to write lol) and to Edgar Allan Poe (Hikki's favourite writter and mine too) ^^

[Beauty4123]

happy birthday to hikki!

27th
Birthday

Of myself ! !

Sorry for starting this message with such a personal thing, for the first time in a long long while ! ! Utada Hikaru is here, I'm back !

Today I turned 27 years old~ *sounds a fanfare*


Thank you for your words and best wishes.

I'm right in the middle of North America (+London) tour - well it's just started, to be exact!

We kicked it off on the 15th in Honolulu, Hawaii - which was my first concert performance in three years and a half, to my surprise! I was like "Jeez I have no idea what's gonna happen" but things went all right with no troubles, well it was a huge success I'd say, and I was able to say "Bye bye, good night, thank you very much" at the end.

I've got a lot of fans in Hawaii and I'm glad everyone (including people from outside Hawaii) was welcomed me very kindly and warmly~.

I'm happy receiving lots of fan mails saying "I'm so pleased" but you know, it's just started! Lots of things need to be improved.

We're gonna raise its perfection level gradually toward the final show in London, but anyway I'm so happy cause I tasted that 'wild' excitement after a long time! That elation you can feel at the first song.


What makes it so special this time - is not that I'm doing it in the US, but - I'm dreamed this for a long time….

…This time it's a club tour !
.｡ﾟ+.(´▽`)｡+.ﾟ+･

I perform in clubs with capacities ranging from 800 to 1500 persons. Which is like one-tenth of venues I've performed in for arena tours I guess.

It looke somewhat like my enthusiastic fans were all packed in a small space and that made me feel an unusual heat. Perhaps it was the realization of an ideal life show form, something that provieds a cozy environment for hardcore fans.

In the Honolulu show the venue was so crowded, crammed with people, as we had audiences beyond capacity. （＾＾；） Watching audiences from up on the stage first I thought "Hmm looks like they're not getting it on that much …??" but soon I noticed they were so packed that they were stuck, almost unable to move to dance . . .

Thank you for you guys who came to the show from Japan, too!


So. Tomorrow on the 19th (it's already the 20th in Japan time) I'm gonna perform in LA. My very first Birth Day Live~! I wonder if staff or my band members are preparing any weird surprise for me . . . (lol)

It makes me kinda blush, to hold a show on my birthday.


By the way . . . sorry that I have kept you waiting here for a long time!

I never thought that vivid-colored drawing, with that mysterious man with such unhealthy look in the face would remain here for such a long time.
M, my apologies . . .

Alright I gotta write an English message later! Or maybe I can write it tomorrow morning . . .

Birthday Girl


Or rather, Birthday Woman!

Hello hello, it's my 27th birthday today! Thank you for all the comments and fan letters and fanmail, your words ring through me

I hope everybody has been having a good start-of-the-new-year so far.

Me, personally, I've just kicked off my first North American (+London) tour, and I am very excited about this small venue adventure. It's something I've always wanted to do, I know some places sold out really quickly and there were lots of requests and suggestions to move to bigger venues, but I wanted these shows to be intimate...

The first show, in Honolulu, was, my god, I hadn't done a concert in 3 and a half years, so I had no idea how it would go, but fortunately it was a big success, thanks to the warm welcome and energy of my fans! I really do have a good band and great people on sound systems to work with, too. We're going to improve and enhance our show as we carry on.

Again thank you to everyone who showed up, we had a good time didn't we?


Today is the second show, here in Los Angeles, at the House of Blues on the Sunset strip.

I know it's raining cats and dogs out there today, and I know LA isn't the best city when it comes to dealing with rain... so I hope everyone gets there safely, and I hope people don't have to wait in line outside too long!

Wish me luck on my first ever birthday show

Later!
