LoBFCanti: The only reason we asked of those of you who don?t agree with the petition, for whatever reason, to keep your thoughts to yourself is because it?s disrespectful to our efforts (like I?ve said before). The reason this thread was started was to find fans who are interested in showing their support to Utada by means of a petition. If you find this petition pointless I don?t see why you need to come into this topic thread and put your pessimistic thoughts.
Hypothetically speaking if the petition were to be ?successful? in other words persuade IDJ and THE DOOR to have Utada tour or do some promotional activities and she doesn?t want to do it, it wouldn?t necessarily mean the petition is pointless because there are other forms in which her album can be promoted, example having other songs from her album play on the radio. If one day the petition makes its way to her and she does see it, how would you know it won?t mean anything? I?m not saying she will have an ?Omg I love it? reaction but I?m not saying that she is going to say ?I totally hate this? either. If she were to see this petition or another one, stop trying to predict her reaction because that is something you don?t know. What struggles are you talking about? She probably does have her own issues like any other person. But who are you to know what her problems are, both of us are fans not stalkers so how would we know what her problems are. Some of you are acting as if you know what her problems are, or know what she wants or doesn?t want to do but truth is you don?t know anything of her problems not unless she herself reveals it to us fans. You say she needs to learn how to connect to American fans, so why do you look down upon the effort of fans who are trying to reach out to her? To me this is a form of trying to connect with her. Yes fans would be taking the initiative but there is nothing wrong with that either. Just an FYI some of you guys are stating that the petition is pointless because YOU THINK you know how she is feeling, what her problems are, what she wants what she doesn?t. Stop saying ?This is pointless; I know Utada doesn?t want to do this!? FACE IT YOU DON?T KNOW! So why do you keep telling fans that what they are doing is pointless? Yes there is a possibility that the petition might be pointless but that is not definite |

I can't see how this petition is going to do anything....It can't force her :/ you're right,so how is the petition suppose to accomplish anything?She may see thousands of signs but in terms of figures...that doesn't translate to much.I don't think she wants to keep struggling with this personally.I don't blame her.This isn't the greatest of her work and until she learns of a way to connect with an American audience without forfeiting too much,let it be.

Thank you KH-UH-fan for starting this thread and letting more fans know about the petition ^_^
Now for those who think it?s stupid, pointless or that we are harming, bugging her or forcing her to do something you ASSUME she doesn?t want to do, I find your comments very insulting for us fans who are just trying to voice our support to her. jagamijs: I don?t see how starting the petition is a stupid action. If so, why do you say that? Isn?t this a normal action that fans take when they want to support/see an artist? To assume that she wants to take a break is your assumption (maybe others think like you), I?m not saying she does or doesn?t, I?m saying it is something we don?t know as of right now. The only thing we do know is that she doesn?t know what she wants to do (this information was taken from the Hawaii meet and greet with 102.7 Da Bomb). You say it is too late to release a new single or doing any promotion for the album is pointless because you think the album is "dead", but that is your opinion, some fans may agree with you and some may not. In my opinion it still has potential to succeed in the U.S. I think the promotion that the album received prior and after its release was a lot better than Exodus but I really think it could have been better. Yes I think album sales are important because that is the greatest way to support an artist for their work and the enjoyment they give you. Even Utada said it in the meet and greet she had in Hawaii, she said she didn?t mind if people download music but she also thinks it is important to buy the artist album if you have the money so you can show your support for that artist. Whether she cares about her own album sales I don?t know. The petition isn?t going to force others to buy her album, I just want more people to know and enjoy her music. So if you think that I?m being selfish and greedy then yes I am selfish and greedy but that doesn?t mean the petition is something stupid. gantzman246: Yes this petition might be pointless but we don?t know if it will be pointless or effective. ~Billy<3?sHikki~: idk when and who agreed that ?everyone? decided that her album was over because as you can see, I as well as others don?t think so. Taiyou: Since when and how is humbly requesting of someone something, demanding? ghostdog: Excuse me but can you tell me what is it that I?m doing that I need to leave Utada alone? Sorry I don?t see how this is bugging her, when she most likely doesn?t even know this petition exist. I?m sorry if this unknown petition is making her life a living hell. Shurikid: We respect your decision about not signing the petition and we are thankful that you are not being pessimistic and respecting what other fans are trying to do. Now for anyone who thinks that the petition will force her to do something she doesn?t want to, remember that is what some of you are assuming that she doesn?t want to continue but the truth is we don?t know. The only thing we know is that she has stated that right now she doesn?t know what she wants to do. So if she herself doesn?t know what she is going or isn?t going to do in the future how on earth would you know what she doesn?t want? The petition will not force her to do anything that she doesn?t want because the final decision will be up to her despite what IDJ and THE DOOR might say. In addition for anyone who is saying she wants to stop her U.S activities because the fans at the Sephora events scared her, just stop spreading your assumptions and making others think that it?s true. I don?t see what you accomplish by saying such things. So to anyone who doesn't like the petition, calls it stupid, pointless or whatever just keep it to yourself please and just don't sign the petition. Respect the decision of those who want to sign it just how we respect your decision of not supporting it. Perhaps you haven't realized but I think your pessimistic attitude is disrespectful to our efforts. |

You know what I think it's too much for her to be pushed IF she really doesn't want to continue her career in the US. BUT signing THIS petition would really be a good try so that she would really feel appreciated and know that she is really well loved. :D
It is only God who can change her heart and lead her towards what God wants her to finish. Continue praying for her to learn what God's will is and everything will just be fine. Maybe it is not yet time for her to be big in the US...God Bless you all! |

Only one thing - this is not in Hikki's hands. Things like these are decided by Island Def Jam...
I partially agree with that part about blog, but she's just a human. |

I'm not signing this because I don't think it's going to make a difference, myself. I've begun to realize more and more (since the start of her US promotion) that Utada is an extremely introspective artist, and I've stopped expecting her to make appearances or do concerts. She prefers to connect with her fans (if at all) through intangible means- or through her music itself. It's disappointing and saddening, but I doubt I'll ever see Utada in person again, and I've come to terms with that.
But if other Hikki fans think a petition will do the trick, go ahead. Worst case scenario, she gets annoyed and doesn't check the petition. She's a mature woman. I doubt she'll have a hissy fit and refuse to make any more music just because of some online petition. Best case scenario she knows her fans care about her and her work and want to see more of her. So everyone out there saying "don't even bother"- it isn't demanding to want to see your favorite performer more than once every ten years. It's demanding to assume you have a right to. These fans are just making a request, and that is completely understandable; and I will say that it is fairly rude on Hikki's part to announce promotional plans and then cancel them abruptly with virtually NO follow-up. Not even a blog post saying "Sorry, couldn't make it." Not three words. Nada. Many people made plans and reservations to see her- it's like inviting someone to a party and then having your representative cancel the party for you without so much as a glance their way. It's like something Britney Spears would do (that's right, I said it and I don't regret it). A response isn't that much to ask for. Do we have a right to one? No. Would it be courteous and respectful on Utada's part to assure us that she has some semblance of interest in the people who support her and make her a success? I should say so. Hikki isn't sick anymore. If she isn't willing to reschedule the appearances, at least the petition might urge her to explain why. I don't think it will personally, but as I said, that shouldn't stop anyone from trying. :/ Shuri/Eli |

I thought we already decided that the album was to see nothing more and if she really wanted to push the album, she would be doing so now. Now we just have to make do with what we have and hope there will be something new coming soon.
