Ahhh~ as you all must know, Utada had an interview on z100. A lot of my friends heard it this morning (i was either asleep or in class, harhar) on the radio. i heard it on the z100 website. Anyway, during the interview, they played Poppin' (such a hilariously good song aaahh) and i thought.. "Whoooaaa, theyre playing Poppin?! Does that mean they take Utada requests because they played her music and they really like her as a person?!!"

...Soooo, i called up z100 and it kind of went like this:

- "Hello, z100!"
` "Hi, can i make a song request please??"
- "Yeah, sure!"
` "Uuuhhmmm, would you hapen to have Poppin by Utada?"
- "Ohhh, gosh, Utada -- you know what? You're like the second person to request her."
` "Oh, really??"
- "Yeeeaah, not a lot of people have been requesting her -- but we talked to our Music Department about playing her music and they just said, 'Yeah, yeah, let's just wait on it, we know she's going to be big'. So we ARE looking forward to playing her stuff here in the near future."
` "Ohh, wow, awesome!"
- "Yeah, she's great, she has a huge following here already."
` "YEAH I KNOW!! I'm so excited for her! Her music is so good!"

[blah blah something about him asking me what i'm doing right now and non-Utada related fillings]

- "Well, thanks for calling z100, sorry for not being able to play Utada.."
` "Ohh, nono! Thank you for this!"

[farewells etc etc.]


It was something to that effect from what i remember. Anyway, point being, I remembered a lot of the "rules" stated here in this topic and I was sure to stay polite and not get pushy or be an annoying fangirl and all that stuff. Even though they ended up not playing Utada's music, it turned out to be a friendly conversation about her and that was enough for me to know that z100 has intentions to spread her music eventually! For now though, i've been calling another local radio station here in central Jersey (yes, it's one of the stations on the list in this forum) to request Utada (like, once every other-other day). I don't know if they play it though because i always end up getting busy right after i request it... oh well. As long as i'm trying to do my part in spreading the word about her!

But anyway, i just wanna thank you guys for this forum because it's because of this forum-topic and the list of radio stations that i've been able to request her and know the 'rules' about requesting songs!

....hmm, now i'm wondering if this comment is relavent to this topic. Maybe it should've been in the Utada News - Utada Interview w/ z100 topic...
