Utada will always be a classic in J-pop for me. She was amazing back then and still amazing now.

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK...because it is and it isn't.

Hikaru Utada will return to the entertainment business after three years away — not as a singer, but as a radio personality. She announced on Friday that she will begin hosting a monthly radio program called Kuma Power Hour with Utada Hikaru on the InterFM station on April 16. The program will run on the third Tuesday of every month in Tokyo and Yokohama's Kanto region.

Not quite the musical return I've hoped for, but it's better than nothing.

The mother of singer Hikaru Utada died early Thursday morning in Shinjuku Ward in what police are ruling a suicide, reports Nikkan Sports (Aug. 22).

At around 7:00 a.m., the body of Keiko Fuji, whose real name is Junko Utada, was found on the street below the 28-story Atlas Tower apartment building in Nishi Shinjuku. Fuji, who is believed to have leaped from the building, was confirmed dead at a nearby hospital. She was 62.

Hikaru Utada makes first public statement after news of mother’s suicide

Tanuki · « **Reply #718 on:** September 20, 2013, 08:11:25 AM »

I'm very sad of the news about Hikki's mother. When I read the news about Hikru's mother's death I did send a tweet to her immediately after I got the news telling her to "try to be strong through this very difficult time." I saw a video that I cannot find anymore of Hikki leaving the memorial service in the same vehicle as her mother's coffin was in and it just broke my heart that she has to go through this.
