Hikki did a lightening visit to the UK circa Exodus?.Utada?s interview was broadcast on channel 4 news, and promoted as an Japanese underground phenomenon credited with achieving the fastest selling album in Japans history along with a half page article in the Guardian and Hikki was gone?..

This year on my 18th Birthday my family and friends arranged a Hikki themed party, on the invite they insisted that all party goers adopt a Hikki themed style and that meant guys had to queen it up?Dads idea?.. ?way to go? Dad? a couple of Hikki links were attached to inspire some serious costume ideas, and nobody disappointed, and we attracted quite a bit of attention locally with plenty of Hikki beats to last all night, what was inspiring for me personally was that many of my so call cool friends egos allowing genuinely enjoy Hikki songs, allowing for some strange dance moves.

The message was a respect for Hikki as a songwriter and musician, so it?s thanks to Communities like Utadanet, and it?s UK membership that actively share Utada with family, friends, and new acquaintances spreading the word that if broadcasters and TV companies in particular won?t actively support World Musicians the calibre of Utada, then diverse musical cultures that can inspire a new style of sounds and beats will be lost to Europe hopefully not forever..
