Utada Hikaru's Japanese official website has been updated with a new profile picture , and news that 2 official books will be published in Spring of 2009, titled ?Ten? (Point) and ?Sen? (Line), to commemorate Utada?s 10 years in the music business. The titles of the books appear to reference the lyrics of ?Deep River,? the title track off Utada?s 3rd Japanese language album.

?Ten? consists of an essay written by Utada, focusing on everything from her marriage and divorce, to the joys and pain of writing music. There is also a long interview conducted by Utada?s long time official writer, Ms. Matsuura, along with photos from her debut in 1999 to the present.

?Sen? is a collection of Utada?s official blog/messages and website updates plus photographs taken on location by the same man who photographed her ?First Love? album. Each book is said to be approximately 400 pages.

In addition, a "UH 10th anniversary " bloghas been opened, featuring fan submissions from the call for ?Your Favorite Utada Songs.? The blog is tagged by song, and as of this writing, ?Hikari? and ?Take 5″ are tied with the most entries, with 41 a piece.


Thanks to RJ

She looks so worn down and sick.....
For the first time ever Hikki's face looks almost artificial to me.
Her eyes look soulless in this picture.
I keep thinking she is holding a butchers knife behind her back when I look at this picture. *shudder*

I really hope she get's back to being normal and healthy, this is not a good look for her.

It would be nice if an international copy were released as she also has fans outside of Japan
