Utada - "In The Flesh" Tour 2010 Discussion [WARNING] CONTAINS SPOILERS - Page 13

Polyrhythm · #**241** 12th February 2010, 02:07 AM

New message from Hikki....I find this one to easily be one of the longest one's she's written in English...

Quote:

I found this awesome little piano in a piano store in London! How could I not ask for a photo to be taken?

OK, there's one thing I'd like to clarify, for the honor of a certain lady who's a friend of mine and works for me as well!

She's on my tour, and she keeps getting mistaken for my Mom... which is REALLY ridiculous because she just turned 40, and she actually looks really young for her age (I don't know how she does it but she has like, no wrinkles whatsoever), and she has really short hair right now which makes her look like a young Japanese boy lol

I couldn't believe it at first, but I guess you Americans seriously cannot tell our age!

On top of that she's pregnant right now and her stomach is getting pretty noticeable LOL

So if you see her be gentle with her

Yes, so, my first ever concert in the Eurasian continent tonight was a blast, and tomorrow night, same place, same time, will be the final show of this tour. We'll make it a good one!

By the way, I was surprised by how many Chinese folks came out tonight! Are you guys like taking over Europe? lol

She seems a little ticked off. I wonder what Koda Kumi has to says about that 40 year old staff worker having a baby....

Did you hear a girl yell "CANADA LOVES YOU!" Utada actually responded to that with "What loves me?" at which point the girl yelled "CANADA!"? Right after the girl yelled that I yelled "PITTSBURGH!" haha

Did you hear me? XD It was pretty quiet then so... I was wondering.

The girl who yelled Canada... I made friends with her and the boy she was with in line and we hung out all night. xD I also met an old U-O member I knew!!

For me it was prob. simple and clean, fyi, sakura drops, and i can't remember the last one i wanted to mention, but she hit some pretty amazing notes in it. lol

I think I did hear you yell pittsburg. When they said canada loves you I was like "psh we love you more!" no i didn't really yell that, wanted to though

I was hoping I'd meet some real fans though but I didn't, all the people I was around were in their 30s 40s and they were all quiet. sigh Knowing a ton about hikki I always wish I could have a real conversation with someone and i thought I was going to be able to do that but I guess not :/

Hahaha I just read this post on her blog as well!
She doesn't seem ticked off to me, though?

By the way, is there a place to comment/respond to her anywhere?
I can't find anything like that here at her blog: http://211.19.44.167/message/index.p...021210435e.xml

Any idea?

emi♡ · #**245** 12th February 2010, 06:45 AM

lol she's fine.

And no, we can't tell the ages of asians...sorry

One second we think they're 13, and it turns out they're 20. And then we think they are like 24, and it turns out they're like 16, and then the cops come.

Those pianos always crack me up. I wonder where she's at in that photo.

tinka69 · #**246** 12th February 2010, 07:13 AM

Did she really sing that placebo's bitter end??? I want to hear it!

tinka69 · #**247** 12th February 2010, 07:15 AM

^ah. the one they have on you tube has terrible audio quality.

sad

Polyrhythm · #**248** 12th February 2010, 07:28 AM

^This one's the best quality as far as I can tell =/ Boston.

More funny MC from Boston

Matthew · #**249** 12th February 2010, 09:54 AM

I'll be there tonight!

Can I ask, what time do people start lining up outside? If the doors open at 6:30pm, should I be there an hour before?

I've never been to a standing room only concert, so I don't wanna be right at the back!

amorphose · #**250** 12th February 2010, 01:05 PM

^^Uh... Get there way earlier than an hour in advance if you don't want to be in the back. I got to the NYC show about 6 hours before the doors opened and there were still 40-60 people already lined up which put me a good 3-4 rows away from the stage.

It's 1:00 PM in London right now? I would've been lining up myself then right now~

Aww! I'm disappointed that I didn't get to meet you. You could've talked with me and my friend and the Canadians all night. I don't know what you look like or I probably could've called out to you when you arrived. I saw quite a few familiar faces lining up but only two I could put a name or a username too. xD

Haha! Punk Kuma is totally outrageous!!

And that little piano reminds me of when she used that toy piano during the Be My Last era~

Also, about the tour ending-- I'm pretty excited, actually! Because she did say in interviews she would promote This Is The One further through Dirty Desire so maybe we'll actually get a music video or some performances on some good shows like Ellen or one of the late shows.

If not and she does go back to Japan right away, I've no problem with that either.

Polyrhythm · #**251** 12th February 2010, 07:12 PM

As with NYC, London fans have spotted a camera crew filming the line....predictable. It is the finale after all.

amorphose · #**252** 12th February 2010, 08:50 PM

Did anyone post Simple and Clean from NYC here yet?

Polyrhythm · #**253** 12th February 2010, 08:57 PM

^No, not that one yet. There's another vid on page 12 where the crowd is calling her back for the encore...and then you can here S&C in full

Polyrhythm · #**254** 13th February 2010, 03:12 AM

LMAO.....the London fans orgasming over the fact that Hikki sings Passion....

The line from NYC...see yourself?

amorphose · #**255** 13th February 2010, 03:22 AM

^^I'm at 35 seconds in the grey sweatshirt!

Kesteral · #**256** 13th February 2010, 03:07 PM

Oh! I'm in that video too! I'm at 0:51 in my beige coat and green bag with my back to the camera.

Picaflor 7/4 · #**257** 13th February 2010, 03:52 PM

I'm not in that video cause I didn't get in line till 7 pm. :^D I went to school that day.

Keiichi_JPU · #**258** 14th February 2010, 06:48 PM

The Final show in London was filmed completely by the way. I was all the way in the front, and there were constantly 2 camera guys filming either Hikki or us, and when I left the venue afterwards I also saw a camera in the back of the venue.
So we're most likely getting a DVD!

And I'll probably be on it since I was standing right in front of her xD

After the concert the guitarist trew his plexus in the audience, but it dropped on the floor right in front of the stage (over the fence, where we couldn't reacht it) and then I tapped a cameraman and security guard on the shoulders and asked if they could pick it up for me (I was like, begging), and then the *****y little ****tard next to me grabbed it out of my hands!!

I hope he slowly died in his sleep after the concert.

jean-baptiste · #**259** 14th February 2010, 11:37 PM

^omg what a jerk...
what was your reaction?
i think i woulda seriously started a fight.

I ALMOST did, but because I was standing completely in front, there were like 5 security guys withing my reach (cause they were just patrouilling the stage).

I did hold like a speech to him (how it was actually MINE, cause I personally requested the security guard to pick it up for me, without me it would've still been laying there on the floor), but he just ignored me and clutched it really tightly while I was trying to get it out of his fist. Then I just called him a ****ing wanker and went to my friends.

(I still get a bit agressive just thinking of it.. what a loser, if it wasn't for the guards, I would've punched that little brat)

The concert was AMAZING though!!

It really didn't ruin my night, it was incredible anyway! And luckily it was just a plexus.. if it was a kuma-ball I would've been crying right now.
