Anybody know what she is saying? Care to translate, hehe?

I still wish there was subs for that vid :(

Here's the translation of her words in the video★

@00:26
Utada"It feels a little weird...to do an interview walking on the streets. I've never done things like this either in New York or Tokyo"

@01:30
Utada"Good morning.(looking for the right camera) Oh this one right?"
Guy"Would you like to give all the fans in Japan a word or two?"
Utada"Are you guys watching this, Murakami-san and Okita-san?"
and then everyone laughs

*as far as I'm concerned, both Murakami and Okita often work with her

The caster asks Utada what it feels like to appear in a news show and
Utada"Well I always watch Mezamashi TV in Japan...like right before I go to sleep. So it's very strange that I get to watch it on the monitor screen (she points at it) while in New York. It's just strange that I'm on the show."

Caster"So do you feel that New York is your hometown?"
Utada"Yes, I feel kinda relaxed here"

Caster"Can you tell us the theme that you had for this album?"
Utada"Theme... Well, no matter where you come from or what kind of music you like, I just wanted to make a good pop record...that appeals to everyone, that everyone can relate to...with good melody, good lyrics, and good tracks. Like...'Take that!!'"

Caster"It's been 4 years and a half since the last album. Did everything go fine in the process of making music?"
Utada"Yes, relatively. But the songs that I had difficulties with took me a while...like a year in total."

@ around 04:15
Caster"What inspired you to write the song 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI'?"
Utada"The track makers that I worked with this time around came up to me and said they had an idea of using Ryuichi Sakamoto's masterpiece, thiking that it'd be intersting to incorporate it in my music since I'm Japanese"

@ around 04:45
Caster"The 6th track is titled Automatic Part II, would this be the second version of your debut single Automatic?"
Utada"Well, it's more like a parody rather than a second version. The lyrics are kinda like my self-introduction, saying things like I'm on the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius, hello my name is Utada, and so forth."


Oops I got a little tired I'll do the rest later. lol

Thanks for posting some of the translation!!! :)

Most kind. Most kind.

Recieved with much gratitude.
