Let's hope it keeps moving up on this dance/club chart and then as soon as the tour's over she can do some promotion and get it on the Hot #100 and into the Top 40!

If you haven't voted for Ayu already, give Hikki a shot. Help promote Dirty Desire by getting Utada on the Ellen Degeneres Show!

we can bring cameras to the fillmore right?

tommy96814 · #**287** 24th January 2010, 12:58 AM

nope, all her tours you can't but if they dont check your bag or search you and if you brought it then you can risk and take some pic and footage. if they caught you then you will need to pick up your gear after the tour.

AyUta · #**288** 24th January 2010, 04:28 AM

You know what I noticed Hikki does a lot while she sings Passion? She throws back her head and grasps the mic

amorphose · #**289** 24th January 2010, 05:37 AM

^^She's being passionate, of course. XD

If you do not meet the 18 age requirement but you have twitter, please tweet Ellen that you want Utada on the show!

I don't meet the age requirement (I'm 17) but I filled it out with my mom's information and then said "blah blah this is my son's story blah blah" and put my message in quotes:

Dear Ellen,

I would like to suggest the artist Utada Hikaru for your show! (She goes by Utada in the U.S.) I have been a fan of Utada for 8 years and counting now! She is truly an amazing artist. She was born in New York and raised both there and in Tokyo. She became extremely famous in Japan before even graduating high school and is now on tour in the U.S. to promote her second English language album, This Is The One. I am actually traveling from Wintersville, OH all the way to New York City to see in her February the 8th on this tour! It's a dream come true for me!!!

The song I chose to recommend to you, Simple and Clean, was the first song I ever heard from her and the one that made me fall in love with her. She writes all of her own music and lyrics and for the most part, even produces her own albums. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word.

Please consider her! She deserves to be more recognized in the states and you can help her!

Thank you,
Shane

I'm going to tweet at her too! I think Utada is the best candidate for her show. She'd understand her sense of humor, speaks great English and it would be wonderful US promo.

I love Ayu and DBSK too but it'd be useless promo for them if they even got on. Ayu, I think, would turn it down and DBSK is going through that lawsuit so SM would only let 2 or 3 members on. =\

SO UTADA IT IS.

FuNsTyLe · #**292** 24th January 2010, 07:48 PM

I actually signed up and voted for Ayu... I kind of regret it, I should've picked Utada instead, she would get Ellen and her sense of humor right away... Bleh.. Should've voted forUtada...

I can already picture her on the show!

Autographed ball - Seattle ver.
Saturday, January 23, 2010

Seattle! Where the Starbucks' headquarters is located!

So here it is

KUMABUCKS

You see ! !
Oh Yes!! A~ha~!

This is good~! Pretty good~! Woot!

I again prepared a dozen balls. This is getting to be so fun for me (lol) It makes me excited just to think what I'm gonna draw (lol) I'm kinda like excited more than the show itself, in a sense (lol)

I've always lacked confidence in my "live performance" due to my being too less-experienced, but I finally have this feeling that I'm just starting to get the hang of it. This time the content, my performance and song in the shows are all very well appreciated. I'm so happy about it. I'll keep trying hard!

Anyway

It makes me realize I'm a born creator, when I find myself so into drowing illustrations on these autographed balls.

Love, Hikaru

Day Off in Seattle
Sunday, January 24, 2010

So, the day after the gig, I had a couple of hours to do whatever I fancied, before taking off to San Fran.

I decided to walk over to the Seattle Public Library, because I am very fond of books.

This was actually the first time that I'd gone ANYwhere other than the hotels, live venues, and airports, since the tour began, so just walking outside was exciting... how sad! lol I felt like Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption after he got out of jail. Cars! People bustling about freely! OMG! STORES!

By the time I got to the Library I'd settled down, but I had a hard time finding it. I went in to a hotel to get directions, and was told that it was right across the street. Oh, THAT thing?!

It doesn't look like a library at all; so damn modern... and cool. I'd heard it was famous for its architecture but this exceeded my expectations.

I had a REALLY good time there. So glad I went! My excitement climaxed when I stumbled upon these books on the top floor, in a special section of historic documents.

"Catholic Church Records of the Pacific Northwest"---it's an endless list of who married whom (a white guy marrying "Walla Walla woman" who cannot sign her name so puts an "x" instead, etc), who died, who was born and baptized, etc etc---which for some reason had me mesmerized, nailed to the ground, reading away.

I couldn't get enough of it.

After that I went to a couple of bookstores, BORDERS and Barnes & Nobles, to buy an old Nabokov novel to read instead. (I was impressed by the huge manga sections in both stores.)

Oh those Church Records... I wish I could've borrowed them, for the road.

Haha...Kumabucks...

mangoo_x3 · #**294** 24th January 2010, 09:48 PM

did anyone else sneak in cameras? they won't kick you out duringthe show right? they will just take it away and ask you to pick it up later right?

emi♡ · #**295** 25th January 2010, 04:47 AM

god I love her!

She's so funny~ She was reading the Catholic Church Records lol

They're crazy! Those churches, they have like a whole system, and then know everyone who's married and baptized and what church, and they all network with each other lol Crazy.

And theres all the rules lol She's my kind of person. I think if I ever decide to get her a present, I'm gonna get her a really interesting (in her vocabulary lol) book...

norain · #**296** 25th January 2010, 05:03 AM

If someone did the "pass the line" thing, please tell me the process. I'm going to the vegas show and would like to just pass the line. lol. =)

Rogue · #**297** 25th January 2010, 09:54 AM

Ohgod, I SO want one of those balls! *________*
I'm going to let my nails grow and when one comes my way, I'll use them! Other fans, be warned! XDD

Booked my hotel and flying tickets the day before yesterday, I hope it'll be okay >.<;
I really really want to go to London ^^;

Well at least we know what one could get her for a present, eh? XD

The Catholic Church Record story is quite amusing.
