[Utada Hikaru] Finishing the Decade with a Bang in her 39th Thread

[NintendoHTF1242]

The song titles are all right, the main tracklisting is weird...But I'm happy she didn't throw the Beautiful World remix on the 2nd disc and called it a ~new track~.

That cover is so terrible omg.

You guys are so negative. I don't give a crap if the CD came in a clear jewel case with nothing on it. New music is new music. It's funny too, because most of the people getting all pissy about it probably won't even buy it. It's the people that actually want to hear the songs that will buy it.

EXACTLY! Very well said! Your comment was not posted while I was typing my own (right below yours), but we apparently pretty much said the same stuff. You, my friend, are no eleven year old mentally, even if you happen to actually be eleven, though I doubt you are. :-P

"I think this could be the best designed album I've ever had, especially the first-run limited edition. Even putting aside the Kuma Charm " --- Hikki again (twitter). Hell yes. Are you whiny babies happy now? No? yeah, kind of doubted you would be, but whatever...

Can everyone stop being so rude?

EVERYONE is entitled to an opinion. No one is bashing you for liking the cover or whatever, so why insult the people saying they don't like it?

It's not like they're saying that hate Hikki, or saying it in a bad way. Or is it because so many people are saying it that you can't take it?

They're disappointed because it's a simple, nothing special cover, but no one has actually said now (that I've seen while skimming anyway) that they won't buy it based on that. I've seen disappointment but no one going over the top in saying they don't like it.

The comments made by people here are disgusting. We're all fans of Utada Hikaru, uniting here in excitement, sharing our opinions. Why some people can't respect that, really should wake up and realise there's bigger things in life to get worked up over than someone else's opinion on the internet.

Well, I agree with what you've said, so I apologize to everyone. Rudeness, actually is why I was responding in the first place, but I countered it with my own rudeness. Bad strategy - sorry about that.

"you guys are so negative" are people supposed to be positive all the time? we are on AHS. dont we see this all the time with ayu?

and btw im not buying it not because i dont like the cover. the cover isnt bad. im just not buying it cuz id rather not waste my money on a comp album when all i want is the 2nd disc. i dont have money to buy everything i want.

also im not going to buy it if i dont like the songs. new music is new music and thats what im excited for. everything else thats been released isnt my cup of tea. so am i supposed to praise this project now? sorry. i love hikki lots (lots omg). but im not going to praise her every move.

i just want her to go out with a bang like she says.

@jonneh: are u seriously criticizing hikki fans for not being happy?...*sigh* just because hikki loves something doesnt mean everyone will. it would be nice if it were that way but it isnt. people will be happy when they find something to be happy about. i was happy about the cm and the cover song.
hikki already had set high expectations for this so her tweet imo is reiterating this whole thing including the album. this does nothing for me. many artists say these things.

[jonneh]

I didn't mind the cover, it's just a cover guys..if you buy an album simply for the cover, something is wrong with you...not only that, but you have way too much $$$ on your hands...mind sending some of that over to me, please?

But, especially after hearing what Hikki herself wrote about the cover on the website, saying she regrets how it looks on the website, because it doesn't fully display the beauty and coolness of the real thing in person... -- how can anyone still be ******ing about the cover AFTER reading that from Hikki herself? I mean, of course, once it comes out and, say, the album really does nothing special and is just some stars in the sky, then go ahead and bring your whining back...but only then. Not now, when you don't even know exactly what Hikki means just yet about how it will actually look in person once you have it. Some of you people are in your mid 20's and 30's, yet you act like you're all eleven sometimes...christ.
(**end rant**)

Okay, as for a REAL complaint...2nd disc is only 5 new songs, yeah, sucks.. I agree with that, even though we have known it for quite awhile now (just not the titles), it still kind of sucks to me, but like someone else said, 5 new is way better than 0 new! Hell yeah. Anything new from Hikki is appreciated by me. Can't wait to listen!


So, all in all, I am really excited for this! I'm anxious to hear it and put it on my zune. <3

[KremlinChaos]

I find it really annoying when people keep throwing out "It's your job." Every artist releases at different rates and most artists release an album every 2-3 years which is exactly where Utada falls. So I don't get all the talk about her being lazy or not putting out enough material. Look at Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera who released 6 albums in 10 years. I don't see people running around calling them lazy.

I think this could be the best designed album I've ever had, especially the first-run limited edition. Even putting aside the Kuma Charm
about 6 hours ago via web

Doubters can all STFU now

[bluegie]

I was wondering which member you're quoting, until I realized you're quoting hikki's tweet..

[nanakopy87]

woot.greatest news for the week.haha.i don't put much hope on the 3 folded-something-something casing as i've seen mika's album comes with this packaging,but end up its something like ayu's fat casing
but then,kuma-charm???!!!this is so great!utada,i love you ♥
as for the cover,although i am hoping they make something like svc 1,but this one not bad too.can't wait to see the real item

[bluegie]

Let's hug to solve the problem . Kuma peace .

Still have 5.5 more days to go before the french-japanese fusion available for download.. .

[emi♡]

Look, I expect these kinds of things to my post.

But just understand, nothing people say is going to change it. That's how it is.

I appreciate, and I'm sure hikki does even more, that people are so happy and excited about this release.

That's great, it's wonderful. I personally am not. And another thing, just because an artist is in love with something, doesn't automatically make it all powerful and all amazing.

I really hope that this CD is great, the booklets are amazing, and I hope the music is great, and I hope at the end we are all happy.

With the information coming out now, I'm sorry, the release is boring to me. I know my other post was rude towards hikki, but well, it really was the most specific way to describe "boring" and specifically, my lack of enthusiasm. Sorry.


edit: I missed group hug time, but I'm glad you're all happy now, we can drop it

Best wishes to all you guys and this release~

Well the cover I really fell in love with was for her single travelling. Some part of me wished for a cover like that again. But you're right in a way too, it's cool it's something she liked personally rather than just another photoshoot.

Yeah, I think that's one of the cooler points, that she designed it herself.
