[Utada Hikaru] Finishing the Decade with a Bang in her 39th Thread

[Polyrhythm]

LOL its not a retirement.

[Andrenekoi]

She is not retiring... as far as we know, she may release a new single in 2012...

And really guys... boku wa kuma IS a single, it's a SUCCESSFUL single, japanese LOVE it and it was obvious it would make into the Single Collection... People are sounding like those teenagers who hates everything "childish" so they look "mature" ~~

[HTMSD]

Yeah, I knew she's just take a hiatus, but still, we still don't know when she's gonna back in music industry. Just hoping that EMI will now shut down her official website like ayaka's x__x

[amorphose]

OMG. I wanna order it right now soooooo bad but I have too much stuff to pay for right now and I just can't... I can't order it until next Friday, one week from tomorrow. There will still be first press and special packaging then right?

[Polyrhythm]

^Probably....they should know how many fans she has. Ayu's first presses always never run out until like months later

I've been spying on the Amazon.jp sales rankings for SC2 since it was first added to the website...it went from no rank....to #1,305, to #706 as of right now....

EDIT: Now rank #375 #261 #213 #153 #135 #68 officially in the top 100 #43 #32 #20

[amorphose]

I wish she'd included Fight The Blues and Eternally -Drama Mix- on disc one as well after deciding to include Beautiful World -PLANITb Acoustica Mix-... It just seems weird to have Beautiful World without Eternally and This Is Love without Fight The Blues, but it's okay. haha Just nitpicking and I'm a freak and that would've made it 15 tracks just like vol.1. I can't wait for the new songs!!!

[bluegie]

Yeah I'm kinda surprised she didn't include Fight The Blues inside, since it's a digital single as well before the release of HS. And while I dun extremely like Boku wa kuma, hey it's a real SINGLE so why can't it be on the album as well? Without this cute song the single collection would be a complete collection .

Ordering now... so happy...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Finally! I'm so excited for the new songs.

[Picaflor 7/4]

just preordered it. I like the idea that the new songs are coming on a separate disk.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

just *****ing, but angry that boku wa kuma is on there...mad that it was ever even a single

I think it's stupid. Two versions of the same song while not including other songs that deserve to be there. Fight the Blues was an album promotion single just how This is Love was, so why isn't it on there? :/

[Purple Neko]

OMFG i am so excited to order this!!!!

[JackieRos]

I'm excited about the 2 disc

I hope is a collection of her videos

no commercial tie in. and emi officially confirmed that beautiful fights (planitb remix) will be on the album as well. can you say filler?

I would rather have the original version of fol on the album than ballad version. the single was called "flavor of life" not "flavor of life (ballad version)". I find it weird that the alternate version is the one that got a prime spot on HS and a music video.

^
^ It's because the ballad version got the promotion on Hana Yori Dango 2
Though I prefer original version as well~

[Polyrhythm]

SCV2 is now #17 #16 on Amazon jp's ranks for music sales. Ughhh.....looks I wont be watching it hit #1. Its #2 on HMV Japan, #2 on CDJapan (down from #1). Going to bed.....

[Minttulatte]

I don't understand the hate for Flavor Of Life's Ballad Version. I personally prefer that over the original version, and not because it's included on Hana Yori Dango 2. Ballad Version was the first version of the song I heard and I totally love it. I still do and feel that the original mix is boring. Ballad Version is more touching to me.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Lol at Beautiful World -acoustic mix- or whatever being included. Totally knew that was going to happen. I can't wait for the new songs though.

Easy to explain. Everyone has their own taste . Tho I'm on your boat as well... I prefer Ballad Version over Original.
