The thing is - Hikki doesn't really promote in Japan or Asia, either. She herself has said that. They do a few commercials, and she sings maybe on a music program or two. That's about it. I'm sure that the Sephora events were very interesting for her. Yes, the radio stuff was probably a bit repetitive and boring - but as mentioned, a few of them stand out and it did seem as though she was having fun.
It feels late in the game now. It seems like she doesn't care about how TITO does. That Myspace contest is still in purgatory, for instance. This whole thing feels very irresponsible. But I doubt that she'd be unprofessional enough to call promotion quits because she doesn't enjoy what she's doing in the US. If that were so - then she'd be really spoiled. And for the record, she seems far too down-to-earth for that diva-like attitude. |

good rumor...tabloid style...
if she didn't enjoy her promotion in the u.s now, then i wonder how she felt when island def jam literally treated her like crap during the exodus era? definitely the promotions now are a big jump from the last u.s attempt, although i'm still not that happy because, she didn't even get to be seen on big time programs like oprah, or late night show, or tyra banks, whatever... yes channel v presented her as an artist of the month or whatever, but i believe channel v is more of an asian kind of mtv...asians don't need promotion of hikki, she's already huge here!... i would really be ecstatic if she would be featured in the american MTV, since she is focusing on the american people...=P |

thank you for the information But I don't think hikki is not enjoying her U.S promotion because we know that hikki is always enjoying her music career, so I don't she is not enjoying it. She is not updating her blog and no news about her it is because she is sick(right??).And you know this is just a trials/challenge for us (fans).If How far our loyalty and love for her is, so we must be stronger because it may happen that hikki may not be in news or update her blog for a year. I hope it will not happen for a year no news of her.   GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!!!! |

Thanx llama (sorry not sure spelt name right,font correct?)
It feels like a throw away comment, Radio and TV studio?s are fitted out for a single purpose, they are not like hotel suites, we sometimes witness ?behind the scenes? stuff, you know some late night celebrity interviews sometimes looks in on, as the host, chats and jokes while the celebs wait there turn, the rooms are pretty Spartan, like normal waiting rooms, with complimentary drinks and a few freebies. All the ?stars? seem to be relaxed with this. Gwyneth Paltrow, appeared recently on a late night chat show and the camera followed her from the dressing room, ?seriously crappy? would be a fair description of the state of the studio, As Gwyneth moved through an endless route of corridors, rubbish was strewn everywhere and some of the studio team has mega burgers hanging from there mouths! Can you imagine poor Hikki having had to serenade CBTM to a ?Quarter Pounder with Cheese? revolving around some studio guys gob, mind you this will ?like be a walk in the park? for Hikki, she spent her childhood years hanging around studio with her parents, ?learning her trade? like my grandpa says! TITO from the start could not have had a better launch, CBTM was a perfect intro single and the promo MV was a peach, she was bright, happy, and confident. And Hikki had good reason to be, TITO has all the right ingredients for a ?sit up and listen? experience for new fans to taste, ok some Hikki fans familiar with ?Heart Station? (me) will comment at some of the ?mischievously cheeky Hikki lyric mischief making?, and other will lament on the full on R&B. I am a somewhat over enthusiastic Hikki fan I admit, but is it such a big issue for IDF to slowly introduce Hikki, her music, her contributions to Japanese music industry to a new US fan base, to take a glimpse at Hikki?s life and experiences in music from her early childhood in a show case format, with a more informal relaxed chat vibe. I know little about US music industry, maybe this is not the right format that US fans will enjoy, it just sound like it could work to me. I humbly want Hikki just to let us know she is ok, whatever Hikki feels about anything else ok , but a few words through her management and I try to shut up! Sorry I am not going to make promise, but I will try. |

Interesting rumour XD this rumour might happen. Since no update about her and she didn't post her blog. People began curious, even though this is not her longest not post her blog entry XD.She not even appear at Eva 2.0 premiere
 She not just popular in Japan only but all around the world already recognize her, and the team behind Utada should know that. A little update about her condition can rest Utada fans brain XD and this kind of rumour might not happen I'm agree with Cherrysoda that she should update something, maybe she got H1N1 virus  . kidding |

I totally agree with that. Hikki is not as shallow to simply quit trying to promote her US album because she had to sing in crappy places. I'm positive Hikki knows she has to start from the bottom up and it's not easy to become a hit singer right away in the US or in any country for that matter. I honestly think Hikki is just recovering. But I agree...she should update with SOMETHING. Even if it's just a picture of Kuma Chang! X3 |

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. My friend even said as far as she knew it was just a rumour. Quote:
I think so, too. She seemed like she was really excited about her new album and proud of it. So I would find it strange for her to suddenly stop for that reason. Although she has expressed slightly negative opinions of the US on her blog in the past(though she often follows that with saying that the US is her home as much as Japan is, and it is part of her.) I just hope that she hasn't been intentionally mistreated, overlooked, or dismissed by people here. Like most everyone on these boards, I'm sure, I really want to see her do well in the US and be recognized as a serious artist rather than a wannabe. With her talent there is no reason for her to be given the short end of the stick. |

I would take this rumour lightly as it sounds just like that, a rumour. Sounds like someone or the Japanese tabloids or whatever just came up with this "conclusion" because she hasn't been around lately.
From the interviews, she seemed to be enjoying them very much. She was getting much better at interviews and seemed even more outspoken than she is for the Japanese press. And not liking small areas to sing in sounds like a very "diva" thing and we all know that Utada is no diva. She's very down-to-earth and humble and that's why we love her. |

I don't know about whether she enjoys her promotion in the US or not, but even if it is true, I don't think Hikki will voice out her opinion openly. At most when asked whether she enjoyed the promotion in US, she might answer "yeah, its okay". Even if she doesn't enjoy the promotion, I think singing at crappy places isn't such a good reason for Hikki not to enjoy, especially when there are still so many fans cheering for her. I think why she is not promoting right now, not because she got tired of it, but more of related to the illness she gets. I think she is simply resting, or maybe just busy preparing her new Japanese album? But I do agree that she is away for too long, there have been no news of her recently... Even if she just leave a "I'm fine, don't worry" message in her blog to tell us that she is doing well, then I'm sure most, if not everyone of her fans would be happy... |
