Hi Aijin,

Rizzo certainly has it in his head that in January 2010 he will be touring 10 US cities with Utada, so much so Rizzo is prepared to be quoted on the record.

Hikki has not hinted either blogs or in recent interviews that a tour was imminent in early 2010, the Hawaii ?meet and greet? saw a more reflective Utada, relaxed, in jocular mood, and playing down the premise that Chart success in the US was a top priority, in fact Utada was fairly reticent about the whole scenario, elaborating only to muse that US success did not matter, had Utadanet been informed by members then that Utada would be touring the US early in 2010, Q would have had them carted off to the rubber room.



But Rizzo is perfectly clear in his communications, which are stated on the record, 10 US Cities, and Rizzo has put his professional reputation on the line, it fair to mention also that Rizzo is no stranger to U3 professionally, and has a solid reputation in the music industry, so we can take Rizzo?s word at least up to a point..

Utada has proved in the past a degree of unpredictability, so in this respect without official confirmation there will be a element of risk when booking flexi return tickets early to take full advantage of discount pricing.....


Aijin if you think there is a chance this could be a huge wind up or Rizzo has lost his marbles I?m all ears...
