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

[emi♡]

I dont think Namie or Kuu are anywhere near acceptable at English lol

[bluegie]

Of course they aren't. After all English is not an essential language in Japan. At least kuu and namie try to pronounce the words as decent as possible.

Oh well I should get back to hikki... otherwise I will drag ayu into the competition as well lol.

When will the digital single be available (not the chaku)?

woot.the pepsi AD look cute.LOL

[Zeke.]

Not something I was expecting from Hikki and definitely not anything I was hoping for. We'll see how the end product turns out but I want more ULTRA BLUE/Heart Station style. You know, synthy Hikaru bliss... But she looks good in the CM.

[amorphose]

I wanna hear more of the song. T_T

[AyuGAME]

SHE IS BACK!!!
hahaha...
the pepsi CM screenshot and the song title has an interesting vibe on it..can't wait for the real things

[Kanzaki]

Wow. That preview sounded horrible But let's see how that turns out.
She looks mighty fine in that promo pic though!

[Polyrhythm]

CM:
30 sec, 15 sec, Special version, and interview + 2 new promo pics

The song's preview sounds chaotic, but her French is even worse, lol

[ILoveGeniuses]

Hikki's French is almost as bad as the French is on my Sailormoon SuperS In Paris CD...

[amorphose]

To be honest, I really don't like it. I'm so upset that I can't make myself like it cause I've never ever disliked a song from her and this is one of the last ones we'll get for a long time, so why now?

I don't really like how drastically she's changed her image. Not that she doesn't look great... just that it seems she's going against what she normally would just to sell her last album. =\

Well, this is not the first time she had heavier make up and a more trendy haircut. In fact her new look reminds me her W&S era. I dun think she changes her image to sell cds. More likely she suddenly wanna have a different make up and style. I mean, people dun work the same type of clothes or make up throughout their lives. At one moment hikki might want to have a natural look. Now she wanna have a more feminine look. Nothing wrong with that.

Well... actually she tends to change her image with every release, pretty much like any other pop star... I'm surprised nobody notices...

Usually she wears similar outfits for TV lives of the same songs and have at least one different haircut for each era.... Nothing wrong, anyway, she doesn't need to dress like a homeless person to prove she has talent^^

Hmmn, true. Her recent lives are like that. But I think so hard and can't see she did that back in the old days (like... First Love, Distance, DR era). I dun think her hair style changed because of the lives tho. It's just coincidence that the hair style changes whenever she has a new song (and you know, it takes a her long time to release new stuff). Also, her outfits are always very casual, so it's hard to tell if she has different styles for different songs' live. All I can recall is that she wore formal dress in BML, black clothes and pants in Passion, Really loose top in FOL, tight tee in Beautiful World..

I can remember she wearing similar outfits while performing Can you keep a Secret too... And those were similar to what she weared on the PV...

I do believe she changes her looks based on releases, but I don't see this as anything wrong or as a statment of lack of talent or whatever... Usually her outfits fits her music at the moment, and in the end of the day, marketing is a good thing for a pop musician...

On the old day she had very few image-oriented promotion compared to the huge number (to her stantard) of performances and magazines Exodus, Ultra Blue, Heart Station and TITO had, what makes it harder for her to fix any image on her older releases... All of her post DR eras had a defined style to her clothes and hair^^

[Polyrhythm]

Awww that sucks. Someday in 5 years maybe she'll stun you again

I am LOVING the new look....the new song....meh....the preview is almost as crappy as Ayu's recent previews....but I'll stay hopeful for and judge when the full version comes out.

[Kingdom]

her french is horrible and the song is, too, IMO.

i thought we'd get something a bit more... idk, higher quality.

[JackieRos]

who cares if she can't pronounce french jesus finally we get something and ya'll complaining gawd!


anyways
omg the cm reminded me of wait and see, I love that look on her.

The thing that bothers me on the screenshot is her eyebrows.

[nanakopy87]

the preview doesn't sound good
hopefully the full version will be better

[RikkuK]

loves it.
