It says, "Sayonara, suckers."

This is an awesome thread title/first post, btw.

Awesome thread.

I'm kinda disappointed, but I got what I wanted - new, good songs. And now I shall listen to them, happily cancelling my order, and hope for better sales..next time..probably in..six years or so.

It's so weird to hear the bass in "Goodbye Happiness". Never heard it before.

"Can't Wait 'Til Christmas" is great and I'm going to try my hardest to make "Arashi no Megami" better.

Old news, but I just saw it for the first time:

"The music clip video collection '5x10 -All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009' of popular group Arashi, who made th debut in the 2009 60th NHK Kouhaku Utagassen, has returned to the #1 position on the DVD (Overall) week charts 10 weeks after it made its debut at #1. The record of the longest interval for a music DVD returning t #1 position was previously 3 weeks, held by Utada Hikaru's 'SINGLE CLIP COLLECTION VOL1' which was rele in January 2000, making this the first time in 10 years that the record has been broken."

Great, I just spent half my wage on ordering the ATH-SQ5 headphones Hikki wears in the Heart Station PV.

Am I an obsessive stan?

Not in my book.

Now if you grew your hair out, cut it, dyed it, styled it like hers, dressed like her, and proceeded to get plastic surgery to look like her, then I would call you a crazy a** obsessive stan.

Yes, for sure.
It's OK, I would still have your babies.

We'd call our baby Kuma and dress it in green/pink (like Flavor of Life cover).
WOULDNT WE?! /stan mode/

Ooh I'm glad they last so long! My current headphones are starting to malfunction after 1 year only, so that's good to know!~

At first I was worried because I have a small head and the headphones are kinda big, I think. But then I thought, if they fit Hikki.. her head can't be larger than mine! She's like 2 foot shorter than I am. So I'll post a pic and y'all can see if they're too big or not

[bluegie]

^The headphone isn't that "big" I think. And talking about the duration of this lovely white headphone, I suppose it's very strong indeed. My brother tended to break his head/earphones frequently with no reason (like.. he had to replace them every few months or so). I dunno why they didn't last long (maybe cheap phones? But I used the same cheap ones and so far I haven't broken any, including the original lame apple earphone).

Anywayz my point is I bought this audio-technica for him in the summer of 2008. It has been almost 2½ years, and he's still using it. Also, it's still pretty clean (consider it's white and my brother usually tenderly uses brand new stuff for the first few months only).

Okay back to hikki. Is it my imagination, or does hikki's voice improves a lot this time compared to UB/HS era? She sounds very smooth this time (esp her higher notes).

Where the hell is this In The Flesh release they promised us? It's December and Daddy Utada said we'd have it before the year's end!

[edit]
Just did some lurking at utadanet since U.Blog's updates are so few and far between noww, and it seems thatt:

u3music The mix/edit being completed. Delivered to the label. teruzane RT @Passion4251 @u3music When will Utada in the Flesh tour be available?

So that means it should be soon! Also two more tweets:
https://twitter.com/u3music/status/8601302435110912
https://twitter.com/u3music/status/8601621017665536

They are still unsure about the format it will be released be (DVD, iTunes, ect...) but it's confirmed they're releasing a compilation of the NYC and London show!!! YES!

One more tweet I just saw!

I received a mail from US. US/UK tour data is ready to be delivered to Apple. I hope it 'd been released soon. teruzane

This one's the most recent, so it looks like they've decided on a definite release for iTunes.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^That will be so awesome! I had such an amazing time at the NYC show.

[Picaflor 7/4]

god i hope for dvd. I want to physically own it. especially considering I don't use itunes.

Yes omg and I had the time of my life at the London show! A mix of NY and London is PERFECT!

Just 1 question though. I recently discovered I can't buy anything from foreign iTunes stores. It's completely ridiculous because I have a worldwide creditcard that's accepted by every single airline and online store, yet stupid Apple required me to actually LIVE in the country I'd buy it from. Retarded.

So if it only gets released to iTunes USA and UK, what do I do? I highly doubt Dutch iTunes will get it..

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I'm sure someone will find a way to rip it if that's the case.
I think a digital release would be dumb. :/

a physical release would be too much to ask for though. poor old utada doesn't have the energy to put that much creative effort into a physical dvd.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^Like she has to do anything. lol

You'll have to buy the itunes card for that particular store. I know that's how people do it to buy music from itunes Japan, the same principle should apply at other foreign itunes stores.
