@ Kayako; I don't think whatever guest Ellen chooses is scheduled to appear anytime soon. Hikki wraps up her tour in mid-February and it's possible Ellen won't even have decided by then; you know how these fan input things go, they take forever to conclude. What I'm wondering is whether Hikki would be appearing solely as a musical guest or whether she would get an interview, performance time, the whole shindig. This entire event is so vague. But it's nice that people are sending lots of requests, since it shows the executives that there's a following and they could potentially boost ratings by selecting the most popular choice.

@ JudgeJamster: Well, the good thing is that neither "Dirty Desire" nor "On and On" are quite as difficult to sing as "Come Back to Me." CBTM is just plain impossible if your voice isn't completely prepared. And of course we know Utada CAN sing it, since she's sounded fantastic at the concerts as far as I can tell (certainly at the LA show, which I attended), so I think her voice just prefers to sing AFTER the sun has risen. But either way, I think she'll be able to sing "On and On" and, certainly, "Dirty Desire" (which is 90% talk-singing) just fine. :3
