[Utada Hikaru] *Her Star Shines On and On In Her 30th Thread*

[AyUta]

New English message from Utada

To my fans in America!
5.12(Tue) 19:25

I suppose a lot of you have heard already; I've had to cancel the instore events that were scheduled for this week.

The reason is, I'm sick. I came down with a case of "peritonsillitis"---it's basically a more severe form of tonsillitis, in which the area around the tonsils get badly swollen as well.

This happens this to me once or twice a year, when I'm extremely tired and my immune system gets in bad shape.

I was in bed this past week, making daily trips to the hospital to get intravenous administration of hardcore medication, and now I'm near the end of the recovering stage, but the problem with this condition is that I have to be very careful until it is completely take care of, as it tends to easily come back.

It was decided that I'm in no shape to be traveling and working for a while.

I'm trying to rest as much as possible, relax a little and take it easy.

I apologize to my fans who were looking forward to the events, and to everyone involved with organizing these events.

“This Is The One” In Stores TODAY!

Utada’s latest English language album, “This Is The One,” goes on sale in stores across the country today. While the signing events this week may have been cancelled, make sure you still go out and pick yourself up a copy!

Me too... but hopefully Hikki gets better soon!

I'm kinda disappointed in this "new" single...

[ayumisrael]

I really feel sorry for hikki's tonsils situation.
I was just recovering from one and it's one of the most awful things ever. >_>

If she is removing them though she will never be able to get one again (lucky her) and she should be fine after 2 weeks of rest.)

I hope she will be fine and bring a new japanese single.

[emi♡]

well...um hmm...I'm still sorta excited for the single because I'm interested to see what she does with the songs...

but I did want new material too...because I wanted to see what style she would continue making her own sound in...

I guess she can still do it with this single...but I don't know...I guess we'll see.
