Shuri/Eli is completely right. We shouldn't be sat here awaiting a few ctrumbs of news to come forward about a "potential" new single - it should already be out.

I agree that Utada is a very talented person, but her first album came too early, and TITO may have come too late. It's not that that's a bad thing, it's just that Utada needs o promote TITO more - it could potentially be damaging if she does let CBTM rely on disc spins on radio shows alone. I know she's been ill and we can forgive her for that, but it has been a long time since we've heard, well anything from her.

And that bogus YouTube channel has only made matters worse, because since the so-called release of a remix of "This One (Crying Like A Child) '''Official Acoustic'''" (I say 'official acoustic' sarcastically), it's made all the so-called fans think that that is a real song, and her real YouTube channel, and even after people stopped believing it was her channel, she released the "full" version, and people believed it was her again.
It's ludicrus to think that Utada's fans could be so easily swayed by such nonsense, and think that that pile of crap they call the "official acoustic" is an actual song is beyond me.
I think those fans who only like the songs because Utada made them need to get a grip, you can't love ALL of her songs, it's impossible. There are some songs I detest from Utada, yet I still love her for trying.

But anyway, Shuri/Eli is right, IDJ need to get their act together, because Utada is a great artist, and with the proper promotion and advertising, she could be phoneminal. They just don't seem to understand that the potential is certainly there - hell they paid for this album to be released,didn't they? So why are they not setting Utada as a top priority of some sort, because as Shuri/Eli said, it's very difficult nowadays for a new artist to break through with actual original music - it's all this generic, "I love you" ballad crap that's coming through now, and it's staler than bread left out for days. Utada's a new thing to the American market, she needs to show that she's ready for this transition to the West, by getting her face out there more.
I would love nothing more than to walk down the street and see Utada's face on a billboard with "Utada - new album out soon!" and to hear people talking about her, and saying how talented and beautiful she is.
Why this isn't happening is beyond me, I just want her to make it because she's done enough to deserve to make it.
But as usual, Utada's music falls on to deaf ears over here....
IDJ, sort yourselves out!
