I hope she pulls through. She's done more in her 19 years than most people could hope to accomplish in a lifetime.
Ovarian cancer is nasty stuff... she should really fly to the U.S. for therapy or something. I've heard that Japanese medicine ain't the best thing for a rapid recovery.
I wish her the best, but she should get treatment in a different country. I've visited cleaner hospitals in Ecuador..
I think I read somewhere that last year there were more deaths from unsanitary conditions or 'mistakes' at Japanese hospitals than traffic accidents. Go in with a cold. Come out dead.
I liked Utada at the beginning, but I think she's successfully mophed into J-crap. Of course, this is my opinion. She has a wonderful voice; lame songs.
What's with that dumb ass new video? She's singing and washing the dishes.. And that's ALL she does; Pretends she knows how to wash the dishes.. It's obvious she's never washed a dish in her life. I guess she's attempting to 'connect' with the young Japanese houseslaves..
And another thing: That damn FOMA poster. Aaargh! Why the fuck do all J-poop stars have to look as dumb as possible? What's with that pointy, upper lip, slightly opened mough thing? I can just imagine the photographer: "Now look as fucking stupid as you can. No! Dumber! Point your lip out like a beak, and slightly cross your eyes... Perfect!"
(Whew.. A little rant there)
I think UA rocks! She's awesome.. Some audio samples
