[Utada Hikaru] The 50th Thread of Utada Hikaru - First Love -15th Anniversary Edition- released 2014

Tbh 'dun' is perfectly acceptable as a word. It's my job as a linguist NOT to criticize, but to describe what people say. And if people say 'dun' to mean 'don't', then that's happy rainbows. That's language change for you, and language should be able to change. But I assume you know that.

[Zahara]

If you think dun is bad, you've evidently never heard a heavy Brooklyn accent.

Has hikki ever mentioned the gender of Kuma? Though hikki has cosplayed "it" on her wildlife concert, i've always considered kuma as male. LOL anyone thinks the sMe?

She's mentioned that Kuma is gay, so I think he's male.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^LOL That's one big obsession with her teddy bear... Little girl that never grew out of the bear or the fantasies maybe...?

[Delicious n Bold]

I think it's cute
She better put out a new song about kuma or I'll find her in Italy. I can legally stay there as long as I want, so I'll surely find her.

We could have a Boku wa Kuma part II. It could be done in the same way as Automatic part II, with a hip-hop style beat and english lyrics.

[Andrenekoi]

^Hope not, Ayu's fanbase melting down over stupid stuff is good enough... I love Boku wa kuma, but everything regarding it generated bitching from people complaining they were too old for children music while acting like spoiled children...

[Klauser_Bateson]

It's okay. I wasn't being serious with that post.

[Delicious n Bold]

What if she made a 90s disco song about Kuma?

[sora-kara]

After Boku wa Kuma came out, I really hoped that should we do a mini-album with children like songs. Then Heart Station could've gone without Nijiiro Bus too.

6 children-like songs on a mini? I think Hikki could have a great time of it!

HS is my least favorite album from Hikki, but I really love NijiIro Bus, can't imagine it without that song. Wouldn't like a children album at all :/

And I love the mashup!

[mi|kshake]

Boka Wa Kumi was the last good PV she did! It's so sweet!

[orangeakira]

All I know is that she really wants to do a cover album. She best get on it. Since she's american she'll do songs we all know too. I gotta say I love Kumi's cover albums, but I didn't recognize a single one of them.

Does anyone hear a song and think "yeah I can totally hear hikki doing a cover of this"?



It's so powerful and beautiful. It very slightly (don't quote me on this) reminds me of Passion.

[rainbow_smile]

Does anyone have the "Beautiful World" sheet music? Not the "Sheet Music Asia" arrangement though, I would like something that sounds as similar to the original mix as possible. I'd buy the sheets, but I've found so many different versions and I don't know which one to choose, considering they have "SAMPLE" written all over them so there's barely anything visible. And I haven't found anything for free download except the Sheet Music Asia sheets.

[CoriKaru]

Time for my annual posting of this.

[Zahara]

Did anyone end up getting In The Flesh?

[hayasaki]

It was actually up in YOUTUBE before. I'm not sure if its still available though. :/

Anyway, here's some news about hikki. I just tried searching her name today, just few minutes ago and found an article. I'm not sure if its right to share this but anyway, lol.

http://www.nikkan-gendai.com/article...geino/153799/1

Apparently, based on my limited Japanese reading skills, the article mainly tells that Hikki had just turned down an offer for a song to a live-action movie of ""Kisei Ju" or Parasite Beast in english.

I hope anyone can help me translate this article here. Somewhat, it makes me think that her comeback isn't going to be anytime soon. (sobs)

[Zahara]

I was hoping to find mp3s of that show, I was at the NY one.

Lol at first I thought that article said she got pregnant, then she never would return.

I think it's available worldwide now... I just checked some iTunes stores (iTunes TW, iTunes UK & iTunes France) and it's there! It's not on iTunes US though.
