« Ningin Interview: Up-and-coming actor Justin Chon - Part 2/2
Weekly Music Round Up Feb. 21 »

Utada’s been out in full force these past few weeks to get herself known in mainstream America. Island Def Jam (Utada’s American record label) sent us this cool little video of what Utada’s been doing out in LA—during the Grammys! With four weeks left to go until the release of This Is The One, Utada is out there making lots of friends — and new fans!

It’s great to see major radio stations like 102.7 KIIS- FM and K-Love 107.5 FM actively talking with her. You can tell she’s working hard, maybe getting a little frazzled, but definitely hanging in there. Personally, I think she looks great with the short hair look. I think “sassy” is the word I’m looking for!

Remember, her name is “Utada,” not “You-tada.” When in doubt, say it like, “Obama. Utada.” She’ll thank you for getting it right! ^_^

Meanwhile across the US, “Come Back To Me” has been getting airplay in San Diego, Philly, Phoenix, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and even in Honolulu! We’re anxiously awaiting the music video for “Come Back To Me” as it leaves the final rounds of post production.

“Come Back To Me” is available now for immediate download and immediate satisfaction at iTunes and Amazon. This Is The One is available for advanced order at Amazon and at Best Buy—with a release date of March 24. Soon, so soon…

Make a mental note! We’re going to have a full review of This Is The One right here on Ningin. Would that mean that we have it already? (^_0)

Wow cool video!


There’s a wrong way to pronounce her name? I don’t get the Obama thing.

O-tada?


Sweet been looking forward to her new album. I think it’s gonna be like 10x better than her first American album.


She’s my favorite artist. I always look forward to her new album release ^^


OMG *squeal*

can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait!!


I believe the grey hair Japanese guy next to Utada is her father. The dark sunglasses gave him away raspberry


When is Ningin gonna do the contest for the autographed Utada album?

Soon I hope xDDD


Thanks for the video! It’s cool that Ningin has stuff like this.


Hehe yeah I didn’t catch the Obama reference either. Isn’t it Oo-tada? But as long as you don’t say You-tada, it’s all good. She’s definitely rocking the short hair, looks amazing on her.


UTADAAAAAA! I love youuuuuu!

I’m dieing to hear the songs on the new album lol


Thanks for the video. More Utada contest plz hehe


Utada is gonna kick Boa’s ass in record sales watch!


I’m not digging the short hair on her. It’s kinda too boyish u kno?


I wonder if Utada is nervous. Five years between American albums and all.


Can’t wait!
I can forsee some BoA vs. Utada thing? ^^;


Wow. I want her sign too


wat she mean by obama is the way u pronounce the name, its pronounce with a O, when pronouncing her name, like otada, not youtada, thats why! xD i just love that part when she say that lolz i knew that shw won’t like it when ppl pronounce her name wrong! jeez it piss me off too lolz


Ahh! im so glad she’s doing all of these interviews and getting a bunch of exposure before her album is released. She’s been so funny if all of these interviews and video postings. Utada so awesome!


I like her with short hair.


Can’t wait for the album! <3


Only a couple more weeks…


can’t wait! but i still dont get the reference to obama...-confused-


She doesn’t like to be called YOU-ta-da. Her name is pronounced ooo-ta-da.

I guess o-ba-ma is a bit closer to how you actually pronounce it but still not quite right.

I’m not really an expert on Japanese linguistics, but that’s what I gathered from meeting her.


Just try to pronounce her name with a Japanese accent raspberry


Im dying for tha album cant wait kool video
