My God, Scott. You always give me a great sense of hope and a fuzzy feeling in my stomach whenever you hand us breaking news on Utada's progress in the US -- info that would have passed by us without any of us ever noticing (i think?!). You really bring a lot of light into our questions that only continue to probe in the dark. I just want to sincerely thank you for everything. X'D

But yeah... this news brings me relief for some reason. I feel like since her new CD came out, the long awaited news of her progress had been slow (torture for us fans, keeps us at the edge of our seats) probably due to her postponing the in-store appearances and sickness... but yeah. THanks so much. @_@ It just... makes me feel sooo much better when her single is being compared to other artists' stuff in such a way as stated above. She's hangin' in there, even when sick!! GO, HIKKI, GO!! ;u;
