lol

@conversation: I tentatively agree that Hikki finally reached her comfort zone, music-wise, when she started being more pop-experimental. She found what really suited her voice and style, and became a really unique artist. Not that her RnB stuff isn't great, but it didn't make her stand out from the crowd to me.

I remember "Sakura DROPS" being one of the first Japanese songs I had heard and one of the first Japanese Music Videos I had seen and thought, "Wow. So this is what Japanese music looks and sounds like then."

Then I listened and watched some more stuff from other artists and realized no. That was just Utada's uniqueness and nobody else sounded like her or her music or was making music videos like she was. Everyone else was just as dry and thirsty as anything else anywhere else.

I've told this story before but it warranted repeating.

That's how I feel about Deep River onward and early Ayu. Now look at them. Hikki is scared that she'll die if she writes another song and Ayu is having nostalgia trips (not that it's BAD, but...)

Anyone listened to her radio program?

Only in the minds of the delusional.

KUMA POWER HOUR with Utada Hikaru

[Delicious n Bold]

it's so nice to hear her voice again.

[hayasaki]

Yes!!!! and hikki mentioned that she kinda want to make a cover album because she was inspired with Anthony and the Jackson's cover of Crazy in LOVE (Beyonce). I like the show for the fact that she introduces us the songs she love and I can sense how her musicality has been shaped because of them. And God! As much as i love her singing voice, iM in love with her talking voice. There's this kind of calmness and intelligence with it.

I miss the old regulars that use to post Heavily in the Utada threads when I first got here. They were as rabid as the ayumistans. 1 or 2 of them even got banned but 1 came back trying to hide their identity. The drama. 1 even forced my original Utada signature onto me because they were annoyed that I didn't have one.

Now I feel old and alone. Like ayumi.

Ayumi's anything but alone - she has an entire civilization that travels with her everywhere she goes.

At least it's in the trash can for all of us to remember forever <3

So anyone know where I can download Hikki's singles? Somewhere that doesn't involve 4shared.

She's not announced the end of her hiatus, it's just a misleading thread title.

[CHE.R.RY]

I am sorely disappointed...Someone needs to change the title of the thread

[Delicious n Bold]

It should be a name along the lines of 'she can keep a secret'
