"I can never really enjoy being famous." -Utada Hikaru
Utada Hikaru (宇多田ヒカル, Utada Hikaru born January 19, 1983), also known by her fan-nickname of Hikki (ヒッキー, Hikkī.Date of Birth:January 19, 1983
"The same birthday is shared by writer/poet Edgar Allan Poe, with whom I fell in love during my junior-high years; Ogai Mori, one of Japan's literary geniuses; cute Udo Suzuki-san; and even cuter Rika Ishikawa-chan. My Toshiba EMI senior Yuming, Makoto Kawamoto were also born on this day. It's a singer/songwriter birthday!"
Hobbies:
"- Literature will always be my thing. Books are assets to be treasured - I keep every book I read, and they now take up more space than my clothes.
- Hot and spicy seasonings and condiments
- Snapping pictures, without warning, of friends when they're having hungovers or snoozing.
- Late-night web-crawling. I learned of a few cool sites from an EMI recording engineer --- [Modern Living] and [otogaiworld] are definitely worth checking out, especially in the wee hours"
Specialties:
"Touch typing, Tetris, biting the bullet, reading minds, moving just the smallest toe of my left foot, full leg splits and other instances of flexibility."
Dream:
"Become a writer (I picked my pseudonym a long time ago), open a small bookshop and become a clerk there, work part-time at a cafe."
Favorite Sayings:
Kinomi kinomama (with only the clothes one happens to be wearing, with the barest necessities), Shogyo mujo (all is vanity), Fuyukai da kaeru! ("I am not liking this and I'm goin' home!"), munya munya, "I will not play at tug o' war. I'd rather play at hug o' war ...." - Shel Silverstein
"Because when you're making something, if it overlaps with something or if it's like anything else, that doesn't really count as a creation, right?" - Utada Hikaru
