[Utada Hikaru] Volume XLVIII: The Return of the Queen

[RikkuK]

"I thank all the staff of EMI being receptive to my offer to take off from artist activities from next year."

Yea. Hiatus might of been an understatement at teh 3 year mark with one song released since single collection vol 2. this BOY sticks to what he saids. I think he's more on a retirement plan. I mean why not she has money. She'll release a single every 3 years until we can have an album when shes 64. Hooray, hiatus.

I was just saying it was a good decision to take a erm extended period off. Its sad that certain artists are doing so well with such a bad albums on the charts right now. It spells the Japanese music industry, at the moment, out for you. Thank god for Korea lol

EDIT: almost 3 years. my bad. I'm sure someone will offhandedly attack me for that and my pink avatar. Which is fabulousss

EDIT 2: Im so hopeful for a return too. Just bitter. I want Ultra Blue part 2 so bad.

She'll come back and slay. I know she will.
I feel like a death eater....

And one day, other singers' fans will be "She is back..." and the world will never believe it until she attacked the Oricon chart suddenly

[bluegie]

I will join her for sure, and no need to wait for the hell freezes over

[NintendoHTF1242]

Watch her sell 7 million with this comeback album lmao

[Minttulatte]

^That would be awesome. XD

I want Distance part 2. Gosh, I love that R&B/pop/rock style so much~ ♥

[Delicious n Bold]

Give me the comeback or give me death.

retreat, recede. She aint doing much music stuff at the moment.

Why are people so obsessed with age all of the sudden? if cher or madonna can do it she also can.

[Andrenekoi]

Yeap! The best selling female soloists lately were Namie and Yuming... both older than Hikki.

I want another track that sounds as majestic, heart-wrenching and gorgeous as FINAL DISTANCE

unf quit filling my head with beautiful things that will never be.

Oh and all this talk about age is unsettling. Makes me feel old and uncomfortable. Time to crai to sakura nagashi.

Omagawwd the Violin in "Exodus '04" is making my loins so moist lately. Everything Waterfalls.

[Maemi]

Does anyone know what she's been up to lately? Is she like, doing nothing known to the public or maybe working on sth new? :/

[Zahara]

Is she still doing that radio show?

[CoriKaru]

Utada is my everything but I don't care about that radio show and I think it was a mistake. It depreciates her to the level of lesser thans that will remain unnamed in irrelevance.

[terra]

She is still doing that radio show

Wish she would surprise release sth...

[Delicious n Bold]

Enough games, Utada.

[ahtka-chan]

Her dad said on his twitter that the radio show is to "test" her popularity, so It's better this show gain lots of love so she'll comeback for us.

Btw, sometime ago I remixed Boku Wa Kuma out of boredom, here's the result:

Her father seems to have a lot of control on her no ? He is part of her staff ?

[Andrenekoi]

^He is her executive producer and manager.

I don't think he has any control over her creative-wise and she pretty much releases what she feels like, but he seens to have a lot of control over the business aspect of her stuff.
