I bought my copy of This is the one yesterday from Best Buy.

It felt so great to finally buy an Utada album from my local Best Buy. ^o^

Lyrics from "On and On." They go like:
Honeys if your gay, burn it up like a gay parade
Honeys if your straight, pump it up, take it all away.

(second one was requested)

Some self made covers for TITOOO.

Just to refresh.

Funny, I listened to the song and didn't even notice that...but the lyrics of TITO all were pretty bad, so I didn't pay much attention after the first listen

^ But that's what makes TITO fun!

"Sanctuary" is being used in the new "Kingdom Hearts" Nintendo DS game. Trailer was shown at E3 with the song playing. Very nostalgic.

^ oh awesome!

amorphose · #12 2nd June 2009, 10:49 PM

So Sanctuary/Passion is being reused for 365/2 Days... (I still don't understand that title-- is it supposed to mean half of a year?) Does that mean that the PSP game, Birth By Sleep, is getting a new song? I remember reading somewhere that one of them would get a new song and Utada had already been comissioned for whichever it was. (I don't remember where I read this and I could be entirely off base.)

I think it's kind of silly to do a new song for the PSP game, but I guess I could understand why since it's got a totally new storyline. Nothing from "in-between" games.

Ah well, new music is new music. I just hope she stays on board for KH3 if they have her do a new song for Birth By Sleep.

Really?

I thought it would be something new, but oh well. Not bad.

mcluva420 · #14 3rd June 2009, 06:55 AM

hehe i knew someone would make a thread title like this

kendelle · #15 3rd June 2009, 07:03 AM

She seems to be doing well still. That's good.

I think the alternate covers are way better than the official one! xD I particularly liked the last one

I'm having a break from TitO for a while, I overplayed it a bit much, but I still sometimes sing Me Muero at work xD

So she's really going to release a new song then? That's soo cool~

I adore This Is The One lyrics. Those are very sweet.

I get lots of inspiration from those and I guess that's the reason I love this album so much.

I love the pics truehappiness posted here.

Looks nice. <3

Exodus lyrics were better IMO

and i quote

Quote:

"This is the One" is practically X-rated at times. On "Dirty Desire," Utada sings, "During my 9 to 5, I'm thinking six and nine"; and on "Automatic Part II" (a nod to her hit debut single, "Automatic"), she sings, "Contraceptive, when I'm on it, it's automatic." Is this what it takes to find Stateside success? Whoring yourself both musically and lyrically?

ayuayu798 · #20 3rd June 2009, 08:07 PM

I admit her lyrics aren't nearly as good as her japanese songs... but hey, Utada said herself that her lyrics are meant to be comical for TITO. So if she had fun making these silly but fun lyrics for her fans and herself .. I'm happy!
