There was a guest from a Netflix show apparently? Got to answer some questions. "To live is to work" that sounds so Japanese to me lol Exercise got more important to them once they turned 30. Enjoys yoga and pilates. The guest were two of the main actors from the TV Show "First Love" from Netflix, the show is based on Hikaru's songs First Love and Hatsukoi. 3 Quote Hikaru Utada • BANKS • Rina Sawayama • Aly & AJ • MARINA • Björk • Kate Bush • Marion Ravn • Carly Rae Jepsen • Hilary Duff • Charli XCX • The Cardigans • Mitski • Phoebe Bridgers • Allie X • Caroline Polachek • Meg & Dia • Dia Frampton • Olivia Lufkin • Poppy • Grimes • Melanie Martinez • Lana Del Rey • Bat for Lashes • Ayumi Hamasaki • Paramore • Hayley Williams • Evanescence/Amy Lee • ACO • LIGHTS • Alexz Johnson • Avril Lavigne • Florrie • Flyleaf/Lacey Sturm • Tove Lo • Sky Ferreira • HANA • Daine • Foxes • CHVRCHES • Lorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aha! I didn't watch the live stream and I guess my brother didn't know what the show was. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see most of it, just the last bits and performances. Hopefully some people who are fluent in Japanese could share what else she answered. I want her to share more secret stuff about unreleased songs, demos, future ideas... I'm still in pain that she's sitting on a single mix (or remix) of Hotel Lobby that was meant for radio. She wanted that song as a single. 2 Quote Hikaru Utada • BANKS • Rina Sawayama • Aly & AJ • MARINA • Björk • Kate Bush • Marion Ravn • Carly Rae Jepsen • Hilary Duff • Charli XCX • The Cardigans • Mitski • Phoebe Bridgers • Allie X • Caroline Polachek • Meg & Dia • Dia Frampton • Olivia Lufkin • Poppy • Grimes • Melanie Martinez • Lana Del Rey • Bat for Lashes • Ayumi Hamasaki • Paramore • Hayley Williams • Evanescence/Amy Lee • ACO • LIGHTS • Alexz Johnson • Avril Lavigne • Florrie • Flyleaf/Lacey Sturm • Tove Lo • Sky Ferreira • HANA • Daine • Foxes • CHVRCHES • Lorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I don't even have Netflix so I completely forgot that they had a show there lol. I only have it when I'm at my childhood home, using mom's account hehe I'm sure there must be fansites or fan accounts that have traslated parts of it? My brother is fluent but, like I said, he couldn't watch it all. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
