Hmmm....

Haha, I did the same. It's not like they'll ever contact you or anything. xD
I FINALLY GOT MINE SENT IN, after rewriting the entire thing.

For me, it's no small thing that Utada is LGBTQ-supportive. Why, you ask? Because that's one more, rather large voice out there aiding, directly or inadvertently, in the fight for equal representation and recognition of all forms of sexual orientation and love. As a bisexual person, it makes a big difference to me that the artists I support support me and my community; heck, I don't even like Lady GaGa, but I like that she likes gays. ;]

As for the "Colors" video, I do think that might be misconstrued as I believe the intertwined women have something to do with a type of performing arts, although I can see how one could infer differently with all of the rainbow streaks and whatnot. It's kind of like "You Make Me Want to Be a Man"- Utada may mean it one way, but when you hear the title you inevitably think of something else. And I'm sure Utada was not unaware of the alternate interpretation when she was writing it (she's no idiot), so there's probably a tongue-in-cheek meaning behind that particular titular option anyway.

And, of course, the fact that Ellen is gay means it does no harm to mention that Utada gives the gay shout-out in "On and On." That's already become my personal pride song, I can't wait for it to reach the wider LGBTQ community (I hope it does).

IF YOU ARE NOT 18 AND YOU HAVE TWITTER, Please post a message here:

We need to try anyway to get the word out to Ellen that we want Hikki!

Yeah, for me, it feels nice knowing that Hikki isn't some raging homophobe. That would make me kind of uncomfortable with her in some ways....also with Ellen herself being gay it is a good thing to mention. Obviously Ellen wouldn't want some massive homophobe on her show, lol.

Maybe to you it doesn't mean anything, but for some of us, the fact that our favorite singer is a supporter of the LGBT community means a lot. (The Colors video is related because it shows two women intertwined, and I guess some people see that as homosexual.)

I think it's important to mention that she debuted in the US, so she could get on the show and promote TITO.
Mention your favorite songs, like I mentioned Final Distance, Kremlin Dusk, Sakura Drops etc.

I'll be so happy if she really gets on the show so I'm off to drafting the form. Gonna mention how successful her first album is and how young she started. Then will add on things like how her tickets got sold out without much promotion. I'm also thinking of adding the point that she's gay friendly. The video of Colors is another example.

You really didn't have to lie. You couldve just asked a parent to fill out the form for you.
