yeah she's still with def jam in the US. we're talking about her record company in japan. it seems that the new single is not listed under EMI.

The name of the CD is "9 Year Old Memories" but the songs were already released before on her family's Star album.

I guess the title should change " U3 Album : 9 Year Old Memories "

so is that hikki singing when she was like 12 or something??

and about the single, she isn't gonna have a new single??

I like the music for Thank You. I reckon she should rerecord it though.

Yeah I'm kinda dissapointed too but I admit I'm a little curious and am anxious to hear it. It would be nice if she'd re-recorded it though.

well, the composition of the music's a bit interesting but not really like an utada track :)) I reallly hope she record the songs coz I can't even distinguish her voice in the U3 singles of the same name.

My thought is that maybe the record label that owns the rights is re-releasing it as a single just to make a buck. It could be interesting for those of us that haven't heard the U3 stuff yet, though.

This is Utada we're talking about. Of COURSE she did NOT re-record it.
