Kotaku: Utada Hikaru

Utada Hikaru Gets Uncouth, Bites DS

Here's the deal: We like Japanese singer Utada Hikaru (a lot). And she likes the Nintendo DS (a lot). Here's the former NDS campaign girl showing her "true, uncouth nature" and munching on her metallic pink DS Lite. Not much else to add, other than love the hat. That, and let's keep the comments clean, 'mkay? Or else.

Utada's 30 Person Tetris Fist Fight: The Video

So we like Japanese popstar Utada Hikaru? A lot. So what? She likes Tetris (a lot), which means one thing: Absolutely nothing. Regardless, Nintendo has posted the video of her recent 30 person battle. Watch as Hikky is defeated by grown-ups! Watch as she finally kicks the crap out of children! Yes, she beat children!!

Utada "Queen of Tetris" Hikaru Is Defeated!

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 11:20:06 MDT

She came, she saw, she gamed. Japanese pop mega star Utada Hikaru took on challengers at a Club Nintendo sponsored Tetris DS event. Said Hikky, "I first played when I was five years-old and every day since then." She's racked up a whopping 99,999,999 on the game's current DS incarnation to prove it. Nutshell: She's a big Tetris nerd and even wore glasses during the tourney, because, says Hikky, "It is serious." Thirty contestants were pitted against the singer, one-by-one, and there was six minute time limit for each battle. The first challenger defeated the singer in 56 seconds. Likewise, Utada is defeated by a female challenger in the second round. Next contest was a small child, who Utada schooled and slaughtered. Her final tally? 26 wins and 4 defeats. Impressive. That's the thing about Japan, there's always someone's who is a bigger geek than you. Brian Ashcraft

Utada Hikaru: Big Tetris Dork

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 08:22:16 MDT

Previously, we posted that Japanese pop princess Utada Hikaru was damn good at Tetris. We were wrong. Hikki is a Tetris freak. She's posted her DS Tetris record score, which clocks in at a whopping 99,999,999. And that was after 16 or 17 hours of play—the same length of time it takes to finish an RPG. She writes:

You need perservance or obstance to make it this far. (lol) A woman's obstance! Hahahahaha!

Utada Hikaru has way too much free time. Brian Ashcraft

Watch Her Sing or Watch Her Win, Your Choice

Face it, she'd pwn you proper.

This is Japanese pop idol Utada Hikaru, whom everyone agrees looks adorable in glasses. Between bouts of pretending to pinch her little cheeks, and dressing me down for stealing a post about Japan, Bashcraft translated the details of the Tetris promotional contest for me:

Buy a copy of Tetris during the campaign period, which is through July.
Register the serial at Club Nintendo.
When you register, you must CHOOSE: a chance to battle Hikki (only 30 people will be chosen) or be entered for concert tickets (504 pairs of tickets will be given out)

I'd say the concert was the better deal all around, seeing how fast she beats the everloving christ out of that angry man in the video.

She won't even look up from her stooped crouch over her DS when you enter the room, nervous number 22, and will utter no sound as she inflates her screen with your doom and then drops that long piece straight into your cringing nuts, launching a fusillade of raw humiliation directly at your sweating face.

Thanks to Kylara and Jasohill for the linkage, Bashcraft for the verbage, and Hikki for the pwnage. I'll be holding her Hello Kitty towel during the slaughter. Eliza gauger
