Basically I'm worried that TITO (which is a really good album with loads of potencial!) will be the same flop as Exodus, for all the same reasons (i.e. lack of promotion), that's why... Utada seems a bit like a type of person who would start something big, having huge plans and ideas, then only follow them through halfway because she gets bored from it.
Why should she have to? I hate the waiting too, but it has only been a month. She'll update her blog when she does.

It is sad that TITO hasn't had much promotion thus far, but the only reason it hasn't is because she got sick. When they decide she is well enough she'll probably go back to it.

I guess... Don't mean to sound carelress about her being sick, or sound rude... But I'm impatient^^ And would love to get some kind of update ASAP. Anything really, it's a bit worrying that it is this quiet. And btw, if you remove your tonsils, your voice actually changes noticeably, so if she removed them, it will be... interesting to hear what she sounds like. It doesn't get totally distorted or anything but it does affect your tone of voice.

wow...

she'll update when she updates, she'll promote when she promotes, and she'll blog when she blogs. No amount of careless and (quite frankly) rude comments sprinkled with sarcasm will make that come any faster.

so just sit back and chill with her older music. She makes good music, get lost in it. I usually create a never ending playlist when things get slow (and they frequently do so get used to it) and just chill-lax. I'm sure there's some little nugget out there that you've never seen/heard before. Distract yourself. (that's actually what I did in between Exodus and Ultra Blue)

I'm sure if she's recovering from getting her tonsils out she doesn't feel like using her fingers to type about being sick.

Hikki'll probably come back with some super happy/cracky post about being recovered/thanks for the patience and support/ILU guys! post on her blog and then things'll be back to normal with the 5000+ posts talking about it.

I'm right now looking at Hikki's single sales and they all are amazing. They just got bad during the Ultra Blue and Heart Station era. The only exception is Flavor of Life and we all know why But i don't understand why Heart Station/Stay Gold happened to be her single with the lowest sales It's just beautiful.

I agree! HEART STATION is one of the most calming and beautifully sad songs I've ever heard~

I think it has her lowest sales because when it came out, people already knew she was coming out with an album of the same name a month later...

Other than that, her sales have been sloooowly, but surely, declining since ULTRA BLUE's era started. However, I don't blame This Is The One for low sales because she did, two photoshoots and very low-key interviews in Japan, far less promo than she did during the EXODUS era.

I think her sales decline is also just a sad fact of the music industry these days. It seems like most artists' sales have taken a hit since the beginning of the millennium, right? Hikki's doing pretty well for herself all things considered, IMO.

^I consider her singles to be selling well based on the digital sales too....however, personally i would rather buy physical sales. Its nice to have something tangible.

All artists sales have been decreasing the last couple of years, it's how the industry is right now, people downloand, and also because of the financial issues atm, bying cd's aren't top priority I guess. I haven't bought a cd myself for a while, I feel bad!

^well...we don't really have a lot of music shows like the do in Japan do we?

Maybe I just don't watch television...but I see artists performing more on like talk shows lol

Wasn't TRL like one of the last ones of those kinds of shows?\

besides, people have already pointed out that the american industry is not like japan, where you need to do a whole crap ton of over exposure for your release and then everyone moves on.

I still think she has a good year of like promotion stuff to do...but as there's nothing really lined up...it is sort of disappointing...

and the prospect that she's going back to Japan already.

Let change the topic! Yay!

So how was everyone's weekend? Mine's was alright. Thank you all for asking.

No, let me stop. Did her official site ever add the lyrics to the songs there? I'm too lazy to check. Maybe one of you who frequently go there can tell me. Thank you~

I wish they had music shows like they do in Japan over here in the US though. That would be awesome and would help a lot.
