I honestly want what's best for Hikki for her career, be it in Japan or America but like aedon I don't think she'll break through either. Of course, there's no reason to stop her from trying. Regardless, the album will be great for Hikki fans and if she gets new ones in the process, so much the better! :D

Hikki's new song Stay Gold is used in some hair product commercial:

The funny thing, she gonna record an English album but while doesn't she release a new English single but a new Japanese song???

I hope the new album will got much attention than EXODUS, I myself thinking EXODUS is one of the best albums of Hikki evenwhen it wasn't advertised well.

I gotta admit that even I've been very familiar with the name, I have never listened Utada Hikaru's songs. Until now, when her single is the theme for new Evangelion movie.

As a Evangelion-fan, it seems that liking Utada Hikaru's music is a new must for me. So, any recommendations from the oldskool-Utada-fans?

Not really a big Hikki fan, but I'd say start with Deep River and latter stuff.

And I suggest to listen to her Japanese material first before her English album, EXODUS. I've rarely seen a fanbase divided over an album.

I honestly hated Exodus except for Kremlin Dusk, the whole album was crap. I hope her new English one is more like her Japanese songs.

Personally, my favourites are her first 2 albums, "First Love" & "Distance".

Ahem, to each his own. It wasn't crap, it was just very different from her Japanese material. Eventhough Kremlin Dusk was the best track, I agree with that :3

^ Kremlin Dusk is great song, but my personal favourite from the album is Hotel Lobby. Something about that chorus that resonates something within me.

Oh jeez I'm a super huge Hikki fan... she's my "slice of cake" if u get what I mean... Not to sound crazy but i have all her cds with pics to prove... if anyone's doubting me =( .... Anyways I suggest Time Limit, Give Me A Reason off her First Love album. Distance (the remix  :) ) off distance, Sakura Drops off her Deep River Album, Dareka no negai ga kanau koro off her Ultra Blue album ( or Casshern if u've seen it), and of course any of the kingdom hearts theme's ... Oh yeah I like Devil Inside off her Exodus album ... Sorry I'm ranting... just excited... lolz well if u need any of these upload I'm willing... :)

ahha... btw... I had Exdous pre-ordered at a local tower records and picked it up the day it came out... I'm sad I didn't see that many people picking it up too but hopefully.... hopefully this new english album will be better promoted... I dun't know if anyone has seen the Easy Breezy Video , but they only played it late night on Mtv... (in america) ... So hopefully it'll be better this time around. ( i can upload the video if needed so people can see it)

The promotion for Exodus was next to non-existent. :( Which was quite surprising in that Timberland was involved in production (he helped out on Exodus 04 I believe). I still don't know if the album even appeared in shops here in the UK. Hopefully it gets more pimpage this time round. Is the record label still the same? Not a good sign if it is, otherwise they really must do a better job this time round. Of course, there's the matter of whether a large number of the Western world are ready for Hikki even with all the marketing in the world.

Bah, who cares, I'm excited for it! :w00t:

There is one underrated song in Exodus; About Me <3 I LOOOVE that song, I sang it at karaoke while I was in Japan so much that I got my friends addicted to it too. Other than that and Kremlin Dusk, Exodus wasn't for me either. My favorite Hikki album is Deep River, though Ultra Blue is awesome too and very different from her earlier ones.

Yeah what promotion did it get?  2 radio interviews, something like that.

She should have appeared on all the talk shows like Letterman and Jay Leno with his huge chin.  Of course they'd probably have introduced her by showing some "crazy" videos off of Japanese tv which would have been a bit annoying, but it's what those guys do, and when she performed her song it'd at least have put her out there and let people hear the song.

Actually there was a signing @ the Grove in LA.... which i was not able to make it too... and A promotional thingy that happened it New York... but I don't think that many people new about them... A the virgin records in my area they were giving away posters.

Hope u guys liked the Pv... if anyone else needs some files tell me.. As for the "Stay gold" I don't know if they will be releasing it anytime soon or she might just include it in an album.

Well, I don't know if you guys already know this.

In Ne-yo's new album "Because of you" release this 21/11/07, there will be the song "Do you", our Hikki-chan will sing in that song with Ne-yo  :w00t:

You can listen to the preview in here: http://www.utada.jp/news/press006.html (click in the blank square)


I still think Exodus is a good album, not the best but the good one, all my cousins in canada, they love that album when I send them the tracks. And I really stick with Exodus'04, hottel lobby, kremlin dusk, YMMWTBAM, about me on these days
