What was even better though, is that CBS invited us inside to watch her perform FYI! And we got to take a group photo with her afterward! It was the best day ever, to be honest.

She's just as pretty and nice in person, and not as tiny as I thought she'd be. It was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Spoiler:

That is AWESOME!! I'm glad you got to experience that!!

I just hope they can keep up this promotion at this level until May 12th so that people won't forget about it.

I've been concerned about this as well... It seems like they're doing so much promotion right now, but the actual physical album isn't released till May. It would be awesome if they kept all this up for another month straight though. I bet she'd be exhausted LOL.

I thought it was a fan comment of how wonderful to see hikki in real life.. it turned out to be opposite... lol..

[AyUta]

LOL that was when she had to leave and couldn't say bye to the fans or sign anything right? If only he knew lol. Hikki's totally nice, not 'cold-hearted.' lol.

[Sundae]

MTV made an article about Utada http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/160...31/utada.jhtml

Check the title out!
Is America Ready For Utada, The 'Japanese Britney Spears'?

Utada isn't your typical American pop star — she's actually a Japanese pop sensation that has been labeled the "Asian Britney Spears" since her 1999 debut LP, First Love, became Japan's biggest-selling album ever. She's conquered the international market and sold over 52 million records. Now, Utada's hoping to add her name to the elusive list of divas that dominate America.

[Polyrhythm]

^LOL the Britney thing is getting REALLY old....seriously

[pommy48]

totally...what's with everyone always comparing someone to britney...they need to find a bigger pop star or something XD

and really....who calls hikki the asian britney spears

[AyUta]

I don't know but they need to stop

[Sundae]

IKR. I know it's a compliment but Hikki and Britney? I get when they call BoA that, but Hikki?? But seriously if you were going to explain to Americans who is Hikki like, which artist would you choose to give them an idea?

[norain]

Nobody. But compare her status in popularity. EVERYONE knows britney spears...just like EVERYONE knows Utada in Japan. See? I think it's a fair comparison if you're comparing success and not talent.

Exactly

[emi♡]

its because britney was like THE pop sensation back in the day wasnt she.

She totally moved people away from all those slow rock girls that had like one AWESOME song and then disappeared lol

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but I was browsing Marc Ecko's Complex and found an article about 9 Hottest Japanese Women and Utada was number 8. They use an old picture so I think it was a way of announcing the interview they have coming up.

#8. HIKARU UTADA
CLAIM TO FAME: The bilingual singer—raised in Tokyo and NYC—is a huge star in Japan and is trying to break the U.S. market (on her second attempt) this year. Not only is she smart and cute, but she’s a Tetris master, which counts a lot for the otaku set. Stay tuned for an exclusive Complex x Utada interview, coming soon.

1.RIO NATSUME
2.MARIA OZAWA
3.AKI HOSHINO
4.REON KADENA
5.MAYUKO IWASA
6.(TIE) RIKA NISHIKAWA and AI TAKAHASHI
7.(TIE) MINA FUJII and ROSA KATO
8.Utada Hikaru
9.Ai Otsuka

thats cool! but this is their number one?



lol ok.

[Polyrhythm]

^Human innertube? LOL. Youd be lucky to have her if your ship sinks in the middle of the ocean..........

[emi♡]

dude...just because you're a little average looking does not warrant implants that size. But of course in Japan...just being female warrants implants...so who knows.

"#9. AI OTSUKA
CLAIM TO FAME: We were in Japan over Xmas break and couldn’t escape this song—at the airport, in shopping strips, on TV, at Starbucks, wherever. Yeah, it’s annoying as ****, but the singer is kinda cute, in that artistic way."

[Amrai-chan]

@ the reason for picking Ai Otsuka

Cool Hikki's number 8 though.

@ the number 1.
