[Utada Hikaru] KETTOBASE! IT'S THE 21st THREAD OF UTADA HIKARU!!!

[Luv ~Venus~]

Does anyone know if this is true or not:

HEART STATION’s gonna be tied-in w/ the 2009 film,The New Record of Nobita: Spaceblazer based on the popular anime and manga series, Doraemon!

It was said by a blog member on U.blog and then another also said that it was true. I wanna believe that it's true but I need proof that it's true. =/

[Meat Pao]

What's with the sudden tie-ins with already released songs? o.O

Ikr! lol The weird thing is that Heart Station already had pretty nice tie-in. If anything, they sold have used Stay Gold. I mean they could have made an acapella version like they did Passion (). Most of Heart Station's songs have tie-ins. I really can't see any of the new songs having any tie-ins. =/

Well, anyway, they might be doing this to give HS a boost in sales and to keep Hikki's name in the news while she's still doing stuff for her english album.

[Princess Sohee]

But Hikki hardly releases best albums... Besides, one more best album won't kill ya!

same here!! I think we've had more than enough for one year !!

[xiaou-xijiang]

XD I'd probably like to see the next album before another best. Though I feel like its incomplete, though, still in that limbo of part 1. I'd like to see another best...later. just to see what she'd do with it.

[Beauty4123]

THANK GOD. now she'll break the million

JUST what I was thinking. They wanna push that album just 10k more.

[greggerz189]

I don't think she should release that just yet. She should wait until after her next Japanese language album, because that will make three since the 1st Collection.

[sora-kara]

she doesnt have enough material for a best album right now.
itd feel soo stale.

dareka no negai ga kanua koro
be my last
passion
keep tryin'
wings (theyd probably throw that on to fill space)
boku wa kuma
flavour of life (probably both versions again)
beautiful world
kiss & cry
heart station
stay gold
prisoner of love

crap best album >
and its only 12 tracks.
theres plenty of room to release a new album and all new singles first.

[Celaphorce]

^It'd be cool if she did what Namie did this year, release a single, maybe triple A-Side and the include the songs on a best, or release 2 singles one A-Side and another as a double A-Side single for a compilation album.

[Beauty4123]

but what if they buy the HEART STATION/Stay Gold single instead of the album? both have the same song in it, lol.

[Melon Panda]

They might, but Utada Hikaru is famous enough that folks might just put their money in an album as opposed to a single.

If Passion isn't on the next compilation album, things are going to get ugly. Meaning, I'm going to make things ugly.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^No. =/ It was a internet release only which was such a fail. I guess they had her on a certain budget and getting MTV/VH1 to play her video would've costed more than what they were willing to spend on her. Poor Hikki!

Who's to say that she won't add Utada to her best?! I think her adding her english singles would be a great idea especially since they weren't released as a single in Japan. Although the DVD sold crappy for her standards, I think a lot of people like the concept of her joining her english work with her japanese work. If she or EMI decides to make such a decision, I need for them to release a CD+DVD version. Sorry but I can't take another CD only release from Hikki. I'm in serious need of her pvs. It's time for them to get with the program and release a CD and CD+DVD version for her albums. It's a hawt thing to do.

i thought about adding utada into the list, but the material is owned by a different record company. so really...the chances are slim.
i cant remember is idj or emi released exodus in japan.......even if emi got to publish exodus in japan, who is to say that idj would let them have the rights again? they may have expired by now.

but yes. i agree she needs to do some serious cd only and cd+dvd releases.
id end up with two of everything (so long as they had different covers!)
