Utada promoting This Is The One
|
Artist: Utada Hikaru Product code: UICL-1088 Release date: 2009.03.14 (JP), 2009.05.30 (US) Highest Ranking: #3 Oricon, #69 Billboard 200 Label: Island Records US Version: 3 Bonus Tracks |
With the Japanese market completely wrapped around her finger, J-pop sensation, Utada Hikaru, has been seen to frequently flaunt her creative flair in her music. Having dominated the Oricon charts with virtually every venture during her initial five year tenure, Utada finally decided to break into the American music scene with her first English album, Exodus. Her uninhibited, audacious approach to its production led to an album which despite being fresh, was rather difficult for American audiences to accept and ultimately led to its downfall. Undeterred, five years later, Utada returned for another foray in the American market with her now mainstream-focused, aptly titled, This Is The One.

Morning Musume Tanjou 10nen Kinentai
by on July 1, 2009 · 2 comments ·
Morning Musume Tanjou 10en Kinentai was a special Hello! Project unit that was created in 2007 to celebrate Morning Musume’s 10th anniversary. The name of the unit translates to “celebrating Morning Musume’s 10th birthday special unit”. The unit consisted of 5 graduated and present Morning Musume members. Tsunku explained that the original Morning Musume members debut age ranged from 13 – 24 years old, so for this special unit he selected members that was close to this age range to make it appear like the original group’s formation. Interesting enough, all the members selected came from an odd number generation.
Though the group was only active in 2007 they released 2 singles and had a concert tour before going on hiatus at the end of the year.
