Ah thank you so much!!!

Edit:

Oh my God, that was a great performance. I really, really felt her emotions. It was powerful and honest. The best performance she's done in a long time and I'm really glad she sung that song because I love it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
(the only criticism I have is that I hate those shoes.)

All of her 4 pre-order tracks off Fantôme are in the Top 20 on iTunes Japan, Sakura Nagashi at #12 after her live performance!

I'm so proud of Utada right now. Between her and Ayu finally doing CMs and promo and trying to be herself again, I think J-Pop is on its way back to substance. Far too long we've had to rely on Namie to carry the pop torch. I hope Koda's next album is impressive too.

But for now, Utada may very well take the trophy of best J-Pop album from Miliyah Kato. Miliyah's LIBERTY is still the best album I've heard in years, but I sincerely think Utada will thief that right away.

Gosh, i'm really addicted to Sakura Nagashi lately.
I've barely listened to it but i gave it a new try with the release of Fantôme and i rediscovered it. I feel bad that i didn't paid attention to it at its release.

The live is amazing. Hikki's vocals are awesome.
Glad that she is back. I can't wait for Fantôme. I love Michi already.

She blinked A LOT in the beginning, almost once every second. She must be quite nervous.

[Miduhyo]

^ I actually thought she was going to cry. It seemed to me she was blinking to hold back tears.

I could be wrong, but it seemed like she was putting a lot of effort/emotion into that performance. Lyrically it fits so well with her life in the moment, I feel. "No matter how frightening it is, I won't look away if there is love at the end of it all."

Of course, that's totally subjective. That's just what I've taken from it, however.

Does anyone have a mp3 rip from the MUSIC STATION performance?

[pheonixflame15]

^
I would be interested in an MP3 as well!

[AyuGAME]

Isn't she the queen of blinking? If someone imitate her (monomane) they always show that side of her that keep on blinking

[DeepRiver]

Who's the guy in the middle ...???

[bluegie]

The one with the tuque? Toshiaki Karasawa

Yesterday's "Sakura Nagashi" performance was beyond incredible - and even I've gotten a bit emotional towards the end, while watching it. Amazing job, Hikki.

NHK songs airs in less than 24 hours. She's performing "Michi," "Hanataba wo Kimi ni" and "Tomodachi."

Nariaki Obukuro will be joining her to perform "Tomodachi!"

[Maemi]

We're getting the new album in less than a week! *excited*

[Andrenekoi]

SONGS is available at JPS.

EDIT: you can see all performances at https://twitter.com/phyocc.

I don't know what's wrong with my VLC player but I haven't been able to play ANY of the .ts files from JPS without converting them to another file type first.

[axmish87]

^they work perfectly fine for me
No converting whatsoever
She was good I was really enjoying tomodachi
Can't wait for Fantome to drop already
