I like Ayehunny's idea of just a single statement. That way its not a huge giant book we are sending her and its something nice and simple. Remember, Utada likes simple =P Maybe instead of saying something like "Go for it Hikki, I will always support your work!" maybe we could make it a bit more personal. A simple sentence telling her how she has impacted our lives?

I don't think the video idea would work. First off it would take too long, too many technical issues could arise, and I think Utada would like a little book more. She says she loves books.

For all the creative folks out there, what kind of thing were you thinking of making? I know the artists were wanting to create a piece for her but what kind of art piece are you thinking of making? I'm not sure making portraits of her is a good idea. Portraits are very difficult to get right, and not to mention it would be a little creepy to open a book full of art of yourself. But maybe that's just me, she could find it flattering.

I think it would be nice to just make the book relatively small, so that she can keep it in her bag or something to look at if she is on a plane or traveling or something. Something that is easy for her to take with her.
