HEART STATION

Please, Go Ahead And Faint

Come Back To Me Intro

Apple And Cinnamon + Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

The crowd was screaming and everyone turned to the door at the back. It opened, and a bodyguard came out, then, after some more people, I could see the perfect figure of a cute little Asian girl with perfect skin and perfectly trimmed hair, glowing with her beautiful smile! U-TADA! U-TADA! She passed by me, with only a shelf separating us. I thought I was going to faint. Everything was so surreal. The Japanese superstar that I admired for so long was standing in front of me. She got up on stage and it was time for some interviews, fan questions, and Me Muero!

Utada’s Feeelings Towards Being Compared To Mariah

When you acquire a bracelet for the event, you also get a raffle ticket and you get the chance of winning 500 dollars of Sephora store credit. Utada was reading out the winner ticket and the number was 340052. I had 340060 and my father had 340050. I was so excited and when my father showed me his ticket, I wanted to turn back time to get that ticket! It could’ve been me shaking Utada’s hand and taking pictures with her. She was advised not take pictures and to not sign anything, so this only made it harder for me.

Some questions were quite amusing, like this one guy who said “Um… um… I LOVE YOU!” what a great question that is! Another fan was a bit more ambicious and asked “WILL YOU MARRY ME?!” Utada’s answer to that was that she got divorced a couple years ago so she’s going to wait a couple more before she decides to get married again.

You’re A Goddess, Utada!

Utada Speaking Japanese

Utada spent some time talking to the hostess and the fans and I was just mesmerized by her beauty! Her skin was truly flawless, her hairstyle, impeccable and everything about her was just amazing! I couldn’t believe that I was really in the same room as Utada! During the fan Q&A, I kept waving the fanbook up into the air, and I think it grabbed Utada’s attention and the hostess’ attention, but they didn’t say anything and picked people closer to the stage to ask her questions. I wasn’t picked because I was in the middle of the crowd, but if she had picked me I’d say “Utada, we made this fanbook for you all the way from Brazil and I’d like to know if you’d like to have it!” or something like this.

It was all really quick and suddenly, the hostess asks Utada to say her last words for the fans. I couldn’t believe it was ending so early… I thought the event was going to be at least one hour long, like the advertisement said, but it was maybe 20-30 minutes long. Probably because she needed to record her appearance at the Early Show. When she was walking back, all the fans locked outside started to slam against the door and all I could see were hands and flashes coming from that direction. It was pretty scary. All fans standing behind the same shelf as I was started waving albums and papers for Utada to sign, and I was waving the book. I guess I had an advantage because I was taller. Utada was waving at everyone, and looking at the shelf full of her items. When she saw the book, she stopped, a little confused and looked at the security people around her. She was looking at me and I was waving the book at her as for her to come near so I can give it to her. She looked a bit stunned as she came nearer and asked

Is this for me?

and I was shouting

It’s from Brazil!

but she didn’t seem to understand with all the fans screaming, even though I repeated it a few times, but then she took it and said

Thank you!

she looked beside me at a fan who wanted her to sign an album for him, so she did, even though she was advised not to. She’s so adorable. She then left with her red Sharpie and our Brazilian fanbook, kind of confused and thankful… and so beautiful.

Utada’s Goodbye + Fanbook Delivery

After Utada had left, the lady in charge of the event was handing out signed Utada pictures to us. There was plenty to go around and my father and I each got one! I’m the proud owner of not one, but two pictures singed by Utada! I couldn’t be happier! We got to talk a little, which was really cute and I loved to share that moment with her! To think that she stopped just to get our fanbook! She’s the best. The trip to Miami was completely worth it and tomorrow I’m coming back to Brazil to show everyone how incredible Utada is!

I LOVE YOU, UTADA!
