I think Utada is so genius. her lyrics are very metaphoric. Plus the fact that she writes and produces. And she can play the piano and guitar, you know shes a true mucisian.

And I like her Exodous album because of lyrics (the beats are pretty good, but its sooo not Timberland). I thought it sucked, but I think I understand why she wrote them, they arent pointless lyrics!

"New single release from Hikaru Utada and her first ever release of a nursery rhyme released as the theme for NHK's program "Minna no Uta." She says she wrote the song when she received a teddy bear--"Kuma-chan"--who was so cute she just started writing! The new single is sweet, soft, and full of love set to sooth the hearts of mothers, fathers, and children. Special Jacket Edition features album art drawn by Hikaru Utada herself!"

Well, if her album art is anything like her self portrait:

We're in for an artistic masterpiece!

Here's videos of Utada when she was a part of the Tetris challenge:

Hikki's unreal...

Ohohoho, Hikki's coming out with a new single? YAY!

Ultra Blue didn't really strike me as well as her other albums, but I seriously look forward to her single...and her personal album cover drawing, haha. -roots for Hikki-

Wow, new single, nice! I feel like she's definitely in a class of her own in terms of talent and staying power. It probably helps that she tends to avoid the whole media circus...

MyDearYossi · « **Reply #187 on:** September 20, 2006, 01:06:36 PM »

Oh yes, "sweet, soft, and full of love" song!
Can't wait to see her drawings tooXD

The lyrics are supposedly:

Quote

I am a bear bear bear bear
I am not a car bear bear bear
I can't walk but I can dance
I can't talk but I can sing
I am a bear bear bear bear

I am a bear bear bear bear
I hate fighting bear bear bear
My rival is fried shrimp
I was probably chocolate in a previous life
I am a bear bear bear bear

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Kuma. Comment ca va?
(Hello! I am Kuma. How are you?)

I am a bear bear bear bear
The winter is cold bear bear bear
In the evening, "Goodnight, Mr. Pillow"
In the morning, "Good morning, Mr. Pillow"

In the evening, "Goodnight, Mr. Pillow"
In the morning, "Good morning, Mr. Pillow"
I am a bear be-be-bear
Mama bear bear

French!

People have been complaining the lyrics aren't poetic or as deep as Hikki usually is, but remember, it's for a freaking kids show!

HiME · « **Reply #189 on:** September 20, 2006, 05:39:32 PM »

OMG

Indeed, that's not really deep and poetic.
But I'm even more looking forward to watching the PV now... Hikki "Mama Bear"

^ Oh sorry! I forgot to mention that what I posted was a translation. The Romaji lyrics are:

Quote

Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma
Kuruma jya naiyo kuma kuma kuma
Arukenaikedo odoreruyo
Shaberarenaikedo utaeruyo
Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma

Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma
Kennka wa yadayo kuma kuma kuma
Raibaru ha ebi-furai dayo
Zennse wa kitto chocolate
Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Kuma. Comment ca va?

Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma
Fuyu wa samuiyo kuma kuma kuma
Yoru wa "Oyasumi, makura-san"
Asa wa "Ohayou, makura-san"
Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma

Yoru wa "Oyasumi, Makura-san"
Asa wa "Ohayou, Makura-san"
Boku wa kuma
Mama kuma kuma

Because I think it was.

Quote

The mother of one of Japan's biggest pop stars was recently caught with more than $400,000 in suspected drug proceeds as she tried to board a plane from New York to Las Vegas, according to federal prosecutors now seeking forfeiture of the funds. In March, screeners at JFK Airport discovered the money in the carry-on luggage of Junko Utada, whose 23-year-old daughter has been described as the Japanese Britney Spears.

I hope Utada and her mom are ok, and I wish them all the best. But if you look at the final page of the court document, Junko's address is listed
