I would have been very surprised by any other answer. I went to a couple of ITF and never saw any IDJ promotional items. I did some back of the envelop calculations and would be willing to bet that based on the venue size and ticket prices that the tour lost money, which I'm sure Utada knew going into it. I always thought of it as a gift from Utada to her USA / London fans. Hopefully, she can at least break even with download/DVD sales. So happy she's not with IDJ anymore.  |

There was a Japanese news article about this a couple of months ago. It talked about the relationship between Utada and IDJ, and that was when they first announced IDJ had nothing to do with this tour. Her and the team wanted to do it, but IDJ didn't feel any money would come out of it. As to not make it such a big deal, that is why Hikaru set up the small amounts of shows across the country in small venues, with so little promotion, as to not get into any more trouble with IDJ. Of course, they found out after wards, and said they were "tired of dealing with Hikaru Utada, whose team does things without asking and not going through the label."
If I find the article, I'll post it up. |

I think this is good. It means that Hikki can release whatever footage she wants from the shows without IR saying she cant. When I saw the show in London there was nothing to say that Island Records were involved on the door sign.

I'm quite surprised. Is there any particular reason why Island Records didn't support this?

I asked @u3music this morning: Rumor has it that Utada's "In The Flesh" tour was solely supported by U3MUSIC without any help from Island Records. Is it true?
And I just got the answer from Teruzane Utada: u3music: Yes. teruzane RT @HencyMiao: @u3music Utada's "In The Flesh" tour was solely supported by U3MUSIC without any help from IslandRec Is it true? http://twitter.com/u3music/statuses/11300128891609089 Well, I happened to know this rumor a long time ago and I even translated it here: http://www.utadanet.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=4672&forum=3 But it's still shocking that it's finally confirmed. |
