Yeah, definitely. Life is always tough and the older you get the harder it becomes trying to keep all your likes. Not to mention maturity can also bring about different tastes. But yeah....somehow still around here in one way or another XD Quote:

Utada's fanbase is almost dead, they only appear when she releases a new single or album and disappear very fast.
I think it has to do with Hikki doing almost none promotion for new material. She did tons of promotion for Fantome in TV, but none of the singles released after had TV promotions. And I believe that most of Hikki's fanbase nowadays don't listen to J-pop or Asian music, after her hiatus most of them migrated back to western music, differently of other Jpop fanbases that moved into Kpop. I believe now that her music is avaiable for streaming many fans might be back, since Hikki's trying to make her music as accessible as she can. |

@Giga Hello Giga nice to meet you and thank you for following my Twitter:)
Hope you enjoy what I post there haha And yeah I understand, it is really hard to keep a fan site active while your busy in life. Same thing happened to me also, I used to have a favorite singer when I was younger but it kinda died down as I grew older. Still listen to his songs from time to time though^^ @UtadaHikaru321 Although I don’t have a Facebook,I will check the fan site. Thanks for telling me!:) Anyway,good to see people still checking on this site! |

It too makes me happy to see that some of you new folks on here are working to make this place thrive again. So much has changed over time, but I made a promise to myself that I'd try to be more active on here.
I'm also really looking forward to her new album and I cannot wait to see what music video(s) she releases. Keep in touch, everyone! PS: There's a wonderful group on Facebook that I follow that is dedicated to Hikki, called: 宇多田ヒカル - Utada Hikaru JAPAN. It's actually quite active and has about 2.6k followers. Check it out if you guys have the chance! |

Uhh...hello there relatively new guys. I am Giga. Nice to meet you.
For me, many things have changed since originally joining to my eventual departure. I guess one of the biggest factors as to why I left was her hiatus. I remember watching Wildlife concert and that was one of the happiest moments in the fandom, because it was being streamed live and a bunch of our members were watching it together from whatever part of the world. It was a very intimate moment as we were all connected and heart broken at the same time (going to the In the Flesh" tour in Las Vegas was another highlight for me). After her departure from music I needed something to fill me and that's how I discovered Korean music. I found a new fandom, but eventually I became fed up with the Korean music scene and I left that as well. Over the years I slowly but surely listened to Hikaru less and less. All of her discography sits on my PC, which is rarely used. All of the CD's/DVD's/Singles sit in my closet along with the movies I once collected. I still support her and keep buying her stuff, but the flame of excitement I once upon a time felt is no longer burning passionately. I do ghost around the website a handful of times through the year, mainly to remember the past and see the almost non-existent activity. Everyone that was once here is busy with life. We're not in our teens and early 20's anymore, a lot of our members keep in contact with one another through FB and it's lovely seeing how they've grown or have started families of their own. Our Administrator Q; has always been a busy person and I believe that to be the case even now. Q, if you're reading. I wish you the best. I can't say I'm necessarily looking forward to the new album this time around; as I haven't really bothered looking for the details or anything of the sort, but it will eventually make it's way into my hands once it's out. Hopefully that'll reignite my flame. It does make me extremely happy knowing there's newer members wishing for this place to thrive with activity once more. I would like the same thing to happen, to see people enjoying themselves in the first place that became my internet home forever ago. To all of you; many thanks and take care. See you around!!! ![]() BTW Momo, I followed you on Twitter |
