[Utada Hikaru] You're not Japanese, and she can tell, in her 36th thread!

[Polyrhythm]

LOL uh...it was at a Grammy Party in 2009. Utada still had her short TITO hair back then. Her hair is long now (as of Feb 2010).

[Crystal_Ageha]

Uh, did he just say that she's only sold 15 million?? She's sold over twice that, right? And that's just in Japan... And he also said she's the biggest selling...? She has the best selling album, but she's way off from being overall best selling. :X Still, nice promotion, at least! XP

I thought it was a new recent video of her before I started playing the video. I thought she had finally come out of hiding.

[Polyrhythm]

That...would be my dream -___-

I have the picture disc as well, but I'm pretty sure that I pre-ordered it, so that doesn't really help...

[primavera♥]

^ ^like u just mean with the pic of her in pretty cerulean blue? when i got the album in like 2008 or something when i became a fan? *is confused*


akon is very amusing character at times. i remember when he threw that guy off stage. me and my bro were like lol "u dont anger black men etc. guns etc.". ...and other unmentionable things. . . at least hikki was there (although she looked like she didnt want to be. how cool though). how did i never see this?

I dun think pictorial disc is the first press for UB. Lemme check..

Edit: No, there is no first press for UB. The pictorial disc is just the "normal version" for UB. And actually HS's B2 poster was not the first press. Rather it's the preorder special. I checked Japanese wiki again and only Distance and DEEP RIVER had "初回特典".

[Picaflor 7/4]

I know that UB doesn't have a first press cause I didn't buy it when it first came out. i bought it in like 07/08, and it had a pic of hikki in blue on the front. and bonus tracks don't mean first press either. it's a standard press thing. all albums contain the bonus track.

the blue hikki thing looks like this. (was my avatar, but haven't used it yet on this site):

[amorphose]

I lol'd at this video:



The title and the second half of the video are what makes it funny, at least to me. It's not just some crazy lip syncing. xD

[emi♡]

damn...I could have sworn my UB had the red hikki on the disc...but...uh I lost the cd like two years ago...so...I probably just dont remember correctly lol

[Picaflor 7/4]

^
^omg so funny. that would have been epic, if in the original video instead of hand washing, she threw her dishes in the dish washer. lol would have made the pv 10x shorter. hahaha

[JackieRos]

I swear I have bad hearing
what did hikki say in that video with akon

No, the color of her outfit on the disc is always blue... unless yours is not JPN edition. I wish it was red tho. I just love how she wore a red outfit when the title of the album had the word BLUE. They are like opposite colors .

And what?!?! You lost a hikki disc... ah that's sad...

That video is quite funny . Talking about hikari.. Do you think that hikki is bad at washing dishes? She just lightly rubbed the dishes for a bit, and didn't rinse the them clearly. The soap was still there when she put the dishes to the rack. And probly me, but I don't just rinse the glass after using it. The way that she drank the water with it, then just rinsed it a bit without using detergent (esp the part where her mouth has touched), it's kinda ewww..

Yeah... that was my initial impression when I watched Hikari..

[primavera♥]

^ thats what i always loved about ultra blues cover. its red dres but blue in title. and they are contrasting colors ^___^ sadly i broke the case one day and i was so depressed cuz its like my fav hikki cd. but TITO's case is perfectly in tact (maybe because i dont touch it XD)
still. im sad about it.

and yeah. thats now very efficient away of washing dishes. but im pretty sure we wont get swine flu or something from hikki. ^__~

[hpg23]

I've always noticed that she is really bad at washing dishes on Hikari PV, but I guess she was having to rush and so on to make the dishwashing fit with the rhytm of the song... she did a pretty good job

If you want another fun fact about Hikari PV, every time she opens the tap, the chorus starts

Maybe it's because I bought that album when I was like, 14. Things like that don't really come to mind then.

Mmm I apologize for my snarly comment. I knew a lot about the world when I heard Utada back when in 8th grade so I knew about that stuff ahaha. So yeah my bad ;D We're all different.

[Picaflor 7/4]

I personally think the entire UB booklet is amazing. I'm really glad she didn't ruin any of the pictures by slapping lyrics overtop of them. All the different colors, and poses she did. So artistic, and simple, and beautiful. I think any one of those pictures could have been the album cover. I wonder whatever happened to that outfit. I think it would be funny to see her walk down the street in it. red spikes and all lol. do you think the outfit was bjork inspired? That's what I think of whenever I see it.

[primavera♥]

^ the booklet are like my fav pics of hikki ever. shes like gorgeous in the whole thing. my eyes just go gaga for it. so colorful and pretty. yes quite decent not to mar them with lyrics.

[Polyrhythm]

I dont know which impression to laugh at more...
