Thank you luuizhenriquem! I knew she was going to perform a song, but they hadn't announced it would be Chikai until I was long asleep last night xD I'm so mad I missed them drop the news because I had been watching the staff account all day waiting to see if the rumors would be true and they were!

Yeah! This is going to be great. (Speaking on that, I really want to report on the Utada VR thing but I’m so baffled at how it is working. Is it though the KH Experience? Is it a VR Playstaion Live experience? None of the sources I’ve checked out really explain it clearly)

It is confusing to me as well... There's the article on her website but it does not explain it clearly as well

I think more news will come further in the year... Since they are reporting this to winter and winter in Japan only begins at the very end of the year.

They will probably use the concert that will become the DVD and give a VR experience??? Maybe that? lol

I'm sorry for my bad grammar, I truly need to start practicing again lol

They usually trim songs down when they are performed on Music Station to save time. Not sure if it's the same for Ultra Few? I think it's likely that part of the song won't make the cut.


If anything were to be cut for time, it'd probably be Verse 2 / Chorus 2, since those are the most repetitive portions of the song. The bridge-final chorus is where the song is really at, they probably wouldn't cut it.

Nah, I don't think so... When she performed Sakura Nagashi it was the whole song
