As for touring...it's a different situation with Hikki than many artists. She's pretty much built her career (in terms of her character as a performer) around her quirks, and one of those quirks is that she isn't really a performer at all. Yes, she's a great singer, and yes, she makes fantastic music, but we all know she feels more comfortable in the studio than she does in front of a live audience. I think that's just the kind of person she is. She still connects with us through her blogs and all that, but she's made it clear in the past that touring really isn't her thing. And unlike artists that NEED tours to make their money, she really doesn't; she's popular enough that she can hide out in her room and make music on her Mac and never have to really show her face, and she could easily get by. In that way, Hikki is a bit like Enya, who has NEVER toured, ever, but is still famous and well-known.


That's so funny that you mentioned Enya, because when I was reading that I was thinking "Enyanomics!!!" Enya never does concerts and she's extremely famous and I imagine very rich.

Utada is such a better performer than she realizes, though. She really commands the stage and really gets into it. And it looked like she was having a lot of fun at the NYC show.

I also think Utada learned a lot about her US fans in this tour - I don't even think she realized she HAD US fans until the Sephora events! But we're incredibly loyal to her and there was so much excitement surrounding this tour.

And I was really just joking about the "have a good life" statement. My guess is that she said it because she knew she wouldn't be touring again for a while, so the group that was assembled there will probably not be the same group of people if/when she returns to NYC.

Honestly I think by 2020 she will have done another tour even if she does take a break - my guess is it'll probably be mostly Japanese venues with maybe NYC and Vegas and a few other American cities thrown in. This tour hasn't been nearly as taxing on her as UU06 (fewer venues, smaller audiences, etc.) so if she does smaller shows like this, she can probably do both countries. Or maybe I'm just overly optimistic XD
