I don't think cutting Utada off or not getting back to her was any slight against her or her being Asian. Really you guys need to see more morning shows if you think that. They're news shows and they always do that with new artists (and even veterans). Time on TV is very precious so giving her as much air time as they did is a big sign of just how much IDJ is actually promoting her this time around. Also, letting her sing out the credits which lead into the next morning broadcast is a great way for her to catch the attention of anyone tuning in for the next show.

I also have to agree with the side note that BoA needs to get some promotions going. I Love Hikki and want her to do well, but I think it'd benefit all Asians who want to make it in the US as musical stars if both Hikki and BoA did well. Plus BoA's English album is Really good. If she got some play time she could do really well here.
