why are u guys making such a big deal about hikki cheating??

I was wondering the same thing. All the heated discussions here REALLY scared me,
but I just wanted to share what people in Japan really feel regarding all this...

She hasn't done anything wrong by the Japanese standard.
America seems to be extremely conservative IMO.

In Japan, a lot of celebrities talk about their sex life on TV.
This evening I saw a female celebrity on TV and she said that she needed to have sex 5 times a day.
I thought it was funny and I'm sure most people felt the same way.

I also want to say that drinking is a huge part of our social life and talking about it
is very common. You hear it all the time on TV. Utada isn't the only one who talks about it,
and actually she doesn't even seem such a mighty drinker considering the fact that
she enjoys vodka tonic which is considered to be very light...
She should go for something stronger such as nihonshu(sake)!!!

Utada isn't an aidoru(idol) like Morning Musume... Aidoru are expected to have squeaky clean image,
but Utada is a singer-songwriter and no one expects her to be squeaky clean.

It seems that people on this board don't know much about Japan.
