Utada Karaoke Contest @ MySpace
Update: US MySpace has also posted about the Utada Karaoke Contest. It’s featured on the MySpace Karaoke main page. The winner of the contest will win a 3 day trip to Tokyo with up to three companions and a 30 minute karaoke session with Utada.
MySpace Japan has launched an Utada Karaoke Contest today, with winners being flown to Tokyo for an exclusive karaoke party with Utada. Entries are for “Come Back To Me,” with submissions being accepted between the 27th of April and May 10th. The listing mentions that a US version of the contest will also take place, with the international winner also gaining attendance to the party. More details to come. Thanks to Nakatani-san.

sakurablooms13 added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 12:12 pmOMG! That is sooo COOOLL!!!! These are time when I wish I could sing,lol.
miharufroggy added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 12:33 pm….for Japan & US only? grr. i was so happy to read the news and then…ah well, i really only enjoy karaoke alone anyway. i wish i was back in japan now. sigh.
good news for the fans there though.
FinalThrottle added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 12:35 pmHell yes, this is good promotion for Utada!
Ghostdog added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 12:56 pmSo why did they push the album back to May 12th again? Everybody thought it would be for promotion but I haven’t really seen any. Why is she still in Japan? what’s going on?
Enkyori added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 1:19 pm)=
And no Canadian one?
Fuuuuuck stop neglecting us, Utada ;__;
We both speak english, have relatively the same music charts,
doing more in canada can only help your US debut! -tear,tear-
FinalThrottle added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 2:18 pmOh guys, if you want to watch the CBTM video, watch it only at AOL Music – http://music.aol.com/video/come-back-to-me/utada/2457155
Billboard’s Hot 100 formula has included weekly streamed and on-demand music data to the chart’s traditional mix of sales and radio airplay.
red_imitation added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 2:27 pmoh that’s fun! I’m not a singer but I sure would love to join though.
FiresEmblem added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 2:54 pmHah, lucky.
I would be too embarrassed to sing in public though.
Not much promotion for US (just for current fans,) but for Japan, people might just go and buy her album!
I hope it’s posted somewhere. That would be great to watch!
renjeanteractive added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 3:19 pm@ camouflage
i agree.. i havent seen or heard any promotion like this..
but.. AARGGG!!! US and Japan only!!! it coudl’ve been international.. T.T ARRGG!!!
wadester1990 added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 5:23 pmWOW, talk about a chance at your dream D:
Is there any specific rules on the song? Are they going to release a karaoke version to CBTM?
Ghostdog added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 6:43 pmWhen I click on those links I get an error saying that I can’t access the site from my country (USA).
Anyway, I created a karaoke track with Adobe Audition:

Xcapist added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 7:35 pmman i wanna change the pitch! would we be disqualified if we changed it?
Alex0821 added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 8:14 pmHAHAHA Has anyone listened to these submissions?? They don’t even know how the song goes!!! I might have to enter just because I’d actually have a shot…
Alex0821 added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 8:16 pmMORE IMPORTANT: CBTM is now #53! The highest she’s been yet – keep requesting and she just might end up in the top 50!
FinalThrottle added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 8:32 pmWell I’m guessing that they wanted to make it original, it’s kind of boring to sing it the way it is. Utada did mention in the video that you can sing it however you wanted.
Ghostdog added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 8:44 pmWhere are people seeing this video of Utada talking about the contest and stuff?
Why am I the only person who cannot access any of these links?
WTF?
Can someone post the video of her on Youtube or something?
FinalThrottle added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 8:45 pm@Ghostdog – ksolo.myspace.com
Ghostdog added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 8:47 pmAm I the only person getting this error?

barried added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 9:08 pmI wanna join it T_T
@ghostdog. Teach me how to make a karaoke track with adobe audition, please.. Can we make a vocal only track too?
FiresEmblem added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 9:18 pmBut incredibly sad.
Cause I can’t take part in any of this. Gah.Heck of an amazing promotion tactic. Utada looks amazing in that video!
Fannboyie added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 9:39 pmi’m gonna so join this contest!!! talk about once in a life time chance!!! OMG!!!!! I HAVE 2 WIN!!!!
Ghostdog added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 10:06 pmCan anyone provide an American link to the video where Hikki is talking about the contest?
Ghostdog added these pithy words on Apr 26 09 at 10:07 pmForget it, I found it.

Bluevilla added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 12:24 amWow, just watched a version of a girl who clearly has never heard Come Back To Me in her life. Fake fans! I hope fake fans don’t win cuz that would be sad to true Utada fans.

Utada is featured in May 15th issue of ORI★SUTA*.
(* weekly magazine published by Oricon Entertainment Inc.)
Of course, she appears on the cover.
Utada, who have appeard on the cover of the magazine before at her US debut in 2004, describes her present feelings.
mimi added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 2:05 pmas i have a mac i dont know how i can participate,,,,,,*sigh*,,,but i guess good luck to those who can
lorienwilliams added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 3:02 pmAlthough she said you can take the song in any direction, for some reason I get the feeling that a few participants just plain don’t know the song. It’s one thing to change it up a little and make it your own, but I just listened to a recording that had NONE of the original melody! Ahahaha. XD
I’ll post the link to my submission once it’s done “processing”~
tattoosonthesky added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 3:20 pm…I might apply for this contest, though I’m not a very good singer at all, but here’s hoping!
UtadaHikaru101 added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 6:49 pmOMG!!! my mom is entering for me lol
kinghikari009 added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 8:22 pmDATS WHAT I’M talkin’ about! I don’t have any mind-blowing music vocals to boot, but that’s not gonna stop me from submitting a karaoke-worthy subission, you can’t pass on life opportunities like these (it’d be so cool if more than one person @ the forums here won)!…
MarUtada added these pithy words on Apr 27 09 at 9:19 pmguys, tell me what you all thing of my version, does it have a chance, or do i need to do something else, use a different tone, better performance, what, please I want to know, how i can make it better, check it out. http://ksolo.myspace.com/actions/showSongProfile.do?rid=1230008&sid=28454&uid=8643884
Xcapist added these pithy words on Apr 28 09 at 3:00 amomg YAY Utada Feautured on myspace! ahaha (karaoke contest)
Athena_Shadowraven added these pithy words on Apr 28 09 at 6:37 amIf I did win I’d probably beg her staff to ask her to bring her DS Lite so we can play Tetris together. :3
Unfortunately I stay far, far, far away from America. 3:>
InnerRise added these pithy words on Apr 28 09 at 7:19 pmOh my goodness. Why are people singing songs they’ve never heard of before? And on the off chance that they actually heard the song and were just “Trying to make it their own”, then they should have kept it to themselves. If I had a myspace, I’d enter. I’d also keep it nice and simple so that you’d know what I was actually singing. Ha.
barried added these pithy words on Apr 28 09 at 8:58 pmMake the video as crazy as you can, and the video should be fun and silly. That’s what they looking for.
lorienwilliams added these pithy words on Apr 28 09 at 10:22 pmNot necessarily. I say as long as you sing it with feeling (and without deferring too much from the melody!) you’re all set. I hope Utada herself looks through the qualifying submissions. It was implied in her video, so we can hope~
Bluevilla added these pithy words on Apr 29 09 at 1:15 pmI’m not a singer, but entered b/c why not?! I want the chance to meet Utada! Check out my entry: http://ksolo.myspace.com/actions/showSongProfile.do?rid=1232835&sid=28454&uid=3482996 Thank you! I think you need 100 unique views before your entry is considered
Bernardo added these pithy words on Apr 29 09 at 9:35 pmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOMEtrUxvDQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Futada%2Ecom%2Ebr%2F&feature=player_embedded
this is the youtube video. she explains the contest. beyond that, she speaks something in the beggining. I don’t know if it is “Ola” or “Hola”. Well…
InnerRise added these pithy words on Apr 29 09 at 10:13 pm“Hola”. It means “Hello” in Spanish.
xHeartStation added these pithy words on Apr 29 09 at 10:44 pmI just recorded it…and its not uploaded to my page! The upload manager says upload failed and everytime I click retry, it just fails again! How do you fix this?
xHeartStation added these pithy words on Apr 29 09 at 11:12 pm^NVM! I got it fixed somehow x_x
Bernardo added these pithy words on Apr 30 09 at 8:32 amThnks InnerRise, but I speak spanish (Hola), also portuguese (Ola). Both “Ola” and “Hola” mean “Hello”. It’s difficult to know wich one of them she speaks in the video.
xHeartStation added these pithy words on May 02 09 at 2:11 amCan someone give my vid a look? I know I really suck but I suck at singing in general (only sing Happy Birthday) and I really didnt think I have a shot at all…but I tried my best

vmoriyama added these pithy words on May 03 09 at 1:14 pmHere’s is my version. I kept on rerecording the song so myspace won’t let me record anymore unless I become a member….I just can’t afford that now, so I’m using the last one that I recorded. Please listen and comment. Thank you!
