*yawns* I think I have an Utada hangover..

and now that the concert's well over I am not afraid to admit that I brought my fiance...who isnt a Hikki fan! But he said he had soo much fun last night and that her presence on stage is quite entertaining! He also took note of how human she seemed on stage...He thought it was adorable how she seemed somewhat awkward and shy when she would talk to her fans...I explained to him that that's kind of her charm..I really love the fact that a lot of her songs had a rock element to it...She managed to transform her TITO songs into rock songs and too be honest...I prefer it that way over the original R&B feel! Id love to get an mp3 of these songs (especially Apple and Cinnamon and Dirty Desire)...My fav song of the night had to be "Kremlin Dusk"..She hit all those high notes perfectly and the ending was just powerful! Also, in case some of you were wondering, the cover she sang was Placebo's "The Bitter End"...I dont think a lot of people knew what song she was singing...Sang it amazingly though!
The line to get in was also insane! I kept having people walk by and ask me what the line was for..Id reply "A concert at The Fillmore" and they'd look at me shocked.."Really?! For who?!"
Me: " Utada" *confused look* "She's a famous Japanese artist"..thought it was funny that people were shocked at such a long line (was around 3 blocks long) but had no idea who she was...However...playing at all these sold out shows I hope shows her how big her US base is getting and maybe she'll do more tours here!!! She did say "It feels damn good to be on stage"!!

Ok so on to the bad parts of the show...the sound check was terrible..Unfortunately Hikki's voice kept getting lost behind the sound of the band...Then they'd adjust it and she'd get too loud...at one point the guitarist's sound got soo loud that Hikki gave him a look and he immediately took his hands off his guitar...It sounded like a guitar solo even though Hikki was singing! That was during "Dirty Desire"...Also during one of her songs (cant recall which) a loud humming noise was coming from one of the speakers and you could tell she was kinda distracted by it....
And yes, security was ridiculously tight with the cameras...There were two guys on a balcony with flashlights lighting people up who were using cameras and guiding security to them...One a good note....it looks like 1/3 of the people there managed to sneak cameras in (GOOD JOB!!) I managed to get lots of camera phone pics but I am hoping (and begging) that someone will upload some nice pics so I can get em for a keepsake...Oh and when she threw the Kuma balls the one that landed by me landed on the floor and everyone dove for it! I was expecting a small cat fight for it but us Utada fans kept it civil..

anyways..for all you who haven't gone yet...get ready to wait in long lines but be completely blown away in the end! Its totally worth it!!
