I'm glad there's a new one included. Ray of Hope doesn't do it for me. Gotta set my alarm for tomorrow morning.

Well, it's a club remix, so I think the new remixes are just going to be longer versions of the Ray of Light mixes

I watched the live stream. She performed Boukyaku and Ningyo.

Maaaaaaan, the event felt so short!

After answering fan questions she just went to change her clothes (?!) so we were left staring at the piano on mute for like 15 minutes. That "break" made noooo sense! Then she finally came back, performed the 2 songs and that's it.

I didn't watch it because it was around 4ish am at my time. But I heard they had technical issues with the 3D or something like that? That's why the show was shorten...

FANTOME is the #1 album of the year according to BILLBOARD!

Hot Albums
This chart combines physical album sales tracked by SoundScan Japan, digital download sales tracked by Nielsen Music, and the amount of desktop lookups on computers tracked by Gracenote Media.
1. Utada Hikaru – Fantτme
2. RADWIMPS – Kimi no Na wa.
3. Sandaime J Soul Brothers – THE JSB LEGACY
4. Arashi – Are You Happy?
5. back number – Chandelier
6. Hoshino Gen – YELLOW DANCER
7. Nishino Kana – Just LOVE
8. Oda Kazumasa – Ano Hi Ano Toki
9. Various Artists – HiGH & LOW ORIGINAL BEST ALBUM
10. BUMP OF CHICKEN – Butterflies
How did Utada Hikaru’s “Fantτme” top the year end chart even though it was 3rd in physical album sales? Due to the fact that it was 1st in downloads and 4th in desktop lookups. And how did RADWIMPS’s “Kimi no Na wa.” end up in 2nd even though it was 7th in physical album sales? Because it was 2nd in downloads and 3rd in desktop lookups. But another thing both of these albums had over albums that sold more physically is that they had much more longevity, staying at #1 and/or in the top 10 for longer periods of time.

She also scored 2 songs on the Top 10 Radio Songs chart

Radio Songs
1. RADWIMPS – Zen Zen Zense
2. Hoshino Gen – Koi
3. Justin Timberlake – Can’t Stop the Feeling!
4. Utada Hikaru – Michi
5. DNCE – Cake By The Ocean
6. Perfume – FLASH
7. Coldplay – Adventure Of A Lifetime
8. Hoshino Gen – SUN
9. Kygo – Stay feat. Maty Noyes
10. Utada Hikaru – Hanataba wo Kimi ni

These charts are more accurate than ORICON (imo). They represent more than just physical sales.

Strange and off-topic:

I got a loaner phone while mine is in the shop.
It's an Alcatel onetouch.
There is a ringtone on it called "Night Wish", and it uses the vocal adlib line from the end of "Wings" in it.

So, was that line a sample she bought from somewhere? Or did they buy it from her? Or did they just lift it?

It's a loop sample fromthe music program Ableton (or Fruity Loops, I don't remember). It comes with the software. Basically, it's freeware and anyone can use it.

This CM for Dell's Nickelodeon laptop also features the sample in the end:

It comes from a VST called Stylus RMX, iirc. It's somewhere in my 160GB of instruments and samples.
