i think utada has the best english out of any japanese woman i've heard. My nihongo friend told me that's cause she was born/raised in america?

Yup. New York.

IIRC she also spent a few weeks/months in a University, but dropped out.

IIRC? Not sure who that is lol. I guess they couldn't handle the food :hehe: Truthfully tho, my japanese friend says that he wants to go back to japan cause he hates american food. He says they're unhealthy and taste bad. So now he just eats rice and sandwiches and often skips dinner. Malnourishment! And now he thinks he's gaining weight!

I love flavour of life so much. It's a great song! I don't have the CD, only the mp3 files downloaded on net. :hehe:

« it probaly will be the top 10 J-pop songs of 2007.

February 28, 2007 brought the release of the single, garnering buzz on mixi for purchases. However, some bloggers reported the single was out of stock when they checked the store.

Barkes later confirmed that some sellers had already been running out the 400,000 initially shipped singles, just before Flavor of Life took number one on the Oricon dailies for February 27.

Cool, so it's brand new and apparently in Hana Yori Dango 2. You can't have better publicity. :mrgreen:

I read somewhere online that she filed for divorce from her husband, saying that they grew distant and now she feels lonely. Sad times. I hope she'll feel better....

i dont know what to say..im sad and happy at the same time :beaten:

hii all im a hikaru fan too... i have a few of her songs: First Love, Easy Breezy and Simple and Clean (Kingdom Hearts). These are all great songs and her voice is so pure and beautiful... anyways about her being divorced its actually true it happened on March 2nd from where i've read....

It's possible. I know someone gave her a teddy bear (as far as I know someone else other than her husband) and it seems she "fell in love" with it. She spends a lot of time taking pictures of it and even wrote a song. When your 24 and your best friend is teddy bear, something might be messed up in your life... :beaten:

LOL. Yea, I'm sure you're heartbroken right now. :hehe:

Here's the news article from Japan-zone.com

Singer Utada Hikaru (24) and filmmaker Kiriya Kazuaki (38) have divorced. And it was revealed that her parents also divorced yet again last year - for the seventh time! Just as her marriage to Kiriya was announced on Hikki's website four and a half years ago, on Saturday she used the same website to reveal that they had divorced the previous day. She thanked fans fopr their support and apologized for the sudden announcement. She cited different views of the future and a lack of communication due to her business international work schedule as the main reasons for the split. Kiriya posted his message on the same site, an indicator of the one-sided nature of their respective levels of success and fame. The two met in 2000 during the design of the sleeve for Hikki's 7th single, "Can You Keep a Secret?" Two years later, she underwent surgery for ovarian cancer and just five months later they were married. They worked together in several different capacities, one being Utada's title song for "Casshern", Kiriya's 2004 debut as a movie director. He also supported her during her attempt the same year to break into the U.S. market. According to a friend of the couple, neither of them are particularly sociable or talkative types and so communication was a problem for them. Utada, whose parents have divorced and re-married each other a ridiculous seven times since 1981, was looking to him as an older man who could support her emotionally. She made no mention of the split during her live appearance on Friday's "Music Station", where she performed her new single "Flavor of Life". Bittersweet is probably the flavor one would use in English to refer to her life right now, though she referred to it as being like "green pepper tempura".

Looks like it's official then. Thanks for the info.


I hope she's not going to divorce every 4 months like her parents tho. :hehe: :beaten:

any of you guys watch Hikki on this weeks Utaban?
