It already sounded kind of dated for 2009- that's part of the song's (and the album's) appeal. It's supposed to be kind of exemplary of the roots of pop, which so many of today's "pop stars" have been driven away from (that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just true). There's a kind of nostalgia to TITO in that it's such a basic product of R&B/pop, particularly from the last decade, with a couple of interesting deviants like Me Muero and FYI. If it's marketed right, it won't matter that the production is dated- it's still hella catchy and really witty. Plus, isn't this release going to be of a remixed version? Who knows how different or similar Rizzo's take on the song will be.
(Sorry, no lecture intended, just stating my opinion. ^^)

All of this is really good news. Best case scenario is that the album is re-released (with a new cover!!!) and Hikki tours the big cities, but as SimChaoU pointed out, January is a desert for new music so just releasing a new single may be enough to save the album from obscurity. Personally, I don't care who knows about TITO, I would just love for Utada to come to the states and do something live. And this time, everybody be on your best behavior and don't scare the poor woman! ;]

Ironically, I was just talking to my friend about Utada, and she was like, "Is Utada underground?"
Haha!
And then I told her that Hikki was on Ryan Seacrest and she was all, "He's not so big."
:x
Coming from a girl who listens to Pink and Katy Perry and that's about it. I guess that shows you what some people know.

Fingers crossed that all this comes true!
