[[kokoro♥]]

Opening post is epic..

Come on and give it up...

Has anyone noticed that the wallpaper they let you download is different from the preview shown?



I just noticed while making some fake Single Collection 2 covers

[hpg23]

^Cool finding. They probably edited it out so it didn't drive attention away from Utada.

Actually, it's not even the same picture. Look at the overall positioning of the picture and her head between the two, and also the fact that her earrings are facing different directions in both pictures.

The first post is epic. I almost teared up.
Homegirl is gonna take Japan by storm when her compilation releases. Ain't no doubt about it.

The final result of my boredom. My ultimate fantasy. Though I won't be disappointed if its just a plain ol' CD.

Spoiler:

Slipcase cover:


CD cover


CD+DVD+Photobook Boxset (I screwed up on the CD case)

Whoah those pictures are different, and new!! I'm absolutely sure because I still have the initial PC and iPod Wallpapers, and they are definitely all exactly the same, without the car behind her.

Thanks for pointing it out, Imma download them

And your fanmade Single Collection 2 is really nice!! I'd die if she releases a slipcase + booklet like that!

edit: Aww when you download those "new" wallpapers, they still give you the old one!! So they only changed the small preview pics.

[amorphose]

That design is awesome! It'd be so cool if it was an In The Flesh DVD instead of a photobook!

[bluegie]

@Polyrhythm: you did a very good job . I dun like the passion hikki on the cover tho haha (personal taste, not about your design). I would put a FOL head there instead .

PS: wow you even changed the paragraph as well haha .

[Polyrhythm]

haha thanks. I went back and re-edited the slipcase so it didnt look so huge and awkward

[Bigtop]

But are the covers above fake covers?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^yes, they are fanmade.

this is amazing, I wouldn't mind the same concept as the previous single collecting.

I don't really like the wallpapers. Mainly just her arm though. a long, black thing sticking up into the air. for some random reason, it reminded me of an elephant trunk when I first saw it, cause when people imitate elephants they always do this.
Her shirt has a weird texture to it. I feel like she is wearing the skin of a muppet. lol

Hmmm.....adding to those rumors that Hikki finally got dropped from IDJ....I just noticed that in the new Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep TV clip, the song is credited to Utada Hikaru. In the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 TV clip, the song was credited to Utada. 0___o

[Keiichi_JPU]

^ it's not really a rumor, more like a fact, right?

I remember an interview from before TITO was released, and she said the main (or only) reason she made this album was because she had a 2-album deal with Def Jam. She HAD to make it. And now it's over, she finished her contract.

However, I don't think the Utada vs. Utada Hikaru thingy in the commercial has anything to do with it, it's probably more like they messed up the details. I mean Simple And Clean was released before Exodus, so her American stage name Utada didn't really exist, right? So afterwards, we also credit those English songs as Utada but technically they're Utada Hikaru songs because they never made it to a Def Jam Utada album (well.. as bonus tracks 5 years later but that doesn't count)

Am I making any sense?
