well i hope all the utadanet regulars/members keep this site alive even during the hiatus of hikaru. its the only way for us fans to show our support for her.
so, when she returns eventually to the music scene, we'll be there for her. i support her decision to take a break for a while and focus on herself. for me, she's done enough with her career and if she decides not to do music anymore, at least i was lucky to have experienced her music. |

Hmmm about this site going quiet and fade away.....probably.
But don't loose your hope, it said that Hikki will try using Twitter even though she were taking a break for some times. |

12 years is a long time in the music business so this leave will give her some time to grow up away from music and image protective custody. Her music is already developed and mature so it seems like she needs some balance to even things out.
At least she is not living in a never never land ranch. I'm just happy to have heard her live and enjoyed her music all of these years. Her music was my intorduction to jpop. So does this site go quiet after Vol 2 fades and the news fades away? Time will Tell. |

Detailed in a recording contract is a section entitled completion and release...it goes something like this.....?The recording/s shall be completed and prepared for release and distribution on or before (date agreed by both parties) whereupon the company and artist acknowledge that time is of the essence in the completion of the recording, and each agree to exercise all reasonable means to achieve such completion?.....all parties have to acknowledge binding agreement in the form of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, ?the Company and Artist agree to perform their obligations under this Agreement, in all respects, in good faith?....
Nothing is left to chance.... So the question of EMI letting Utada ?have a couple of years off? doesn?t actually arise. ..... ?I have no idea how long it gonna to be - 2 years or 5 years?...............For Utada to take full advantage of this hiatus and concentrate on those illusive ?human activates?, it makes perfect sense to complete any outstanding contractual commitments, ensuring a clean break so to speak,.....EMI can?t ill afford to take a wait and see approach, it?s the here and now that will determine the company future profitability.. |

1 or 2 years yeah I can see the label not caring, but 5? With Island, Exodus was in 04, This is the One was in 09, 5 years apart, quite some time, where Island basically said (Utada said so herself) "Um when are you getting back and writing another album?" EMI, despite Utada's fame, is not going to let anyone be on contract for 5 years max (who knows if she is going to take that long to be on break) and not work. NO company of any kind is going to do that. |

I'm glad Utada has chosen to do this. After a whirlwind 12-year career, she needs a break to do the "real" things she wants to do.
I do however, think this could be a bad decision. I'm not saying she shouldn't do this sabbatical at all, she definitely deserves it, but with her gone for an indeterminable amount of time, I'd hate to see her slip from the spotlight all-together. Things like this can completely ruin a person's career. However, I do have hope in all of Utada's fans, not just on here, but worldwide too, will back her completely until her return, and welcome her back with open arms, ready to listen to what she has to bring out, and what she has to say about her time away from this career. I definitely know I'll be holding out (and following her on Twitter and her blog posts) to see how she's enjoying this new freedom she's given herself. Hopefully, upon her return, we can expect the same fantastic music that we have all grown to love and respect her for. I wish Utada many happy returns and to enjoy herself whilst she's getting on with her life. |

And yet I spent 2 months over there this summer and heard not a peep about her, not even once. Interesting how things change so quickly :P |

I had a nightmare last night where Hikki became an overrated fad in US. She was talked about a whole lot in the news. I pray to god that never happens.
