Maybe that's giving them too much credit lol I hope you're right though.


And...the tag's are great. "obsessed person's thread" Makes sense to me.

I was thinking the same thing too, about them narrowing the style of this album a lot. But I still think the album can be a lot different from "Come Back To Me." If not style wise, lyrically and production-wise. I'm sure Stargate didn't produce the entire album. x_x

I, personally, hope that she worked with Bloodshy & Avant. They're remix of YMMWTBAM was amazing!!!

About live performances-- For EXODUS, she did a showcase (but we never got to see anything but clips of that) and she preformed Devil Inside and Exodus '04 on Japanese music programs. At UU06 she did YMMWTBAM, Kremlin Dusk, and Devil Inside.

If I were betting, I'd say she'll preform CBTM at least once on J-Music shows around the Japanese release date of the album.

Who else is secretly hoping, against their deepest musical instincts, that the album is delayed? The chaku-uta was already pushed back by a month. I know someone already mentioned Hikki's most recent English message and the inevitable conclusion that Hikki rushed things if it indeed is released on March 4th.

I'm willing to wait as long as it takes to get done...
How long are you willing to wait?

[emi♡]

I kinda wish they were...only because...

I wish they were promoting her already!

omg seriously. No promotion yet...is

but then I was kinda waiting to say that because I'm not really sure the time frame for this kinda thing...but I think if they built it up...we could at least hope for some recognition...

Maybe they're just going to do it after?

Well, the song isn't even on the radio yet. And it's not a club song, so it won't be played in clubs. But the MySpace page is promotion. And utada.com still isn't up and running like before. They really need the site up by the single release date (February), if that isn't delayed too.

[amorphose]

I'm assuming that when it airs on the radio, utada.com will be revamped to match the Japanese site. I think the US version is the way it is now so that people can listen to the track before hand if they happen to stumble upon the site.

OMG! I know. Lady GaGa is doing really well with her kewl electro-pop style. This makes me think that songs like Devil Inside and YMMWTBAM were way ahead of its time.....shoo, the whole album IMO. I hope that she has a song like Devil Inside on her album tho. *prays*

[kawaii otaku]

specifically, i think Devil Inside was ahead of it's time more than the others.

Utada is featured on HX's Most Anticipated: 2009 Edition. HX is magazine marketed towards gays.

Maybe she'll re-release EXODUS....?

[amorphose]

If this new English album has even one minor hit, then I'm all for re-releasing EXODUS.
And that article posted above mentions Timbaland and Darkchild! I wonder where they got that information! So now we've got word of Stargate, Timbaland, and Darkchild. OH PLEASE USE BLOODSHY & AVANT ALSO HIKKI!

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Meh, I can do without Bloodshy and Avant. I luv their remix production of YMMWTBAM but I haven't been too fond of their works lately. Maybe if they just stuck to remixing then I'd be okay but producing her songs, I don't know. lol

[Zeke.]

^ Their work with Britney is really good imo and Eat You Up is fantastic! I don't care what anyone says, it's amazing. Lol.

[amorphose]

Yeah, most of Circus was amazing (not quite sure how much of that they did, but I know they did some...) and Eat You Up is really good too. I really wanna see what they'd come up with for Hikki.

Their stuff on Circus is amazing. "Unusual You", "Phonography" and "Trouble" are my favorite songs on there. If they did something for Hikki like any of those songs I'd freak!

Also, I'm reporting this thread for spam tags. I hope whoever is spamming gets banned.

Haha xD But I really do miss Kuma Chang. I hope he'll make a reappearance somewhere. Maybe in the booklet of the album (assuming it comes with a little booklet, for lyrics at least)

Who is Kuma Chang?
