Singer Utada Hikaru (19) first publicly exposed a studio picture of her
in kimono, celebrating her 20th year in age. This picture is special
because
the photographer is her husband, who is a professional photographer, Kiriya
Kazuaki (34). Her kimono contains "weisteria" or purple vines, which is
her mother's maiden name "Fuji" (from Fuji Keiko). On Utada's homepage,
she commented her picture, "It's a nineteen year-old girl, who wears a
normal
boring bright kimono...ah..don't see it!" As a celebration for her
birthday,
which is 1-19, she will be be holding an internet live at 6:45 p.m. on
1-19, which will invite 8000 people to live chat with her. The deadline
is the 15th to enter the drawing at: http://hikki.toshiba-emi.co.jp/
