So is she, like, the best Tetris player in the world, then?

I guess she did lose a few, though...

jj984jj · (08-26-2006, 07:58 PM)

26-4? Wow.

-Rogue5- · (08-26-2006, 08:00 PM)

Me thinks I'm need to learns Japanese. Forgeddabowdit.

Seriously though, I watched the first few where she lost (and lost pretty big) and was like "what the hell is the point of this vid?" 26/4 isn't that bad, though, I guess.

I like how that one dude had a PERFECT trench from bottom to top and still lost. Hold your damn lines...

I wish they included an option to turn it off, like the helper ghost thing. But it's there, so I use it :(

Mr. Spinnington · (08-26-2006, 08:30 PM)

Never give a girl Tetris DS, or they'll use it to stop time. I can't believe how freaking good they are at it, none of those guys stood a chance!

TheWolf · (08-26-2006, 08:34 PM)

woah what is with that little kid's head?

ZeromusMog · (08-26-2006, 08:41 PM)

God damn, I'm not even an asianophile but I have to say, if they were making clones of Utada Hikaru to marry off to every nerd that wanted one, I'd sign up!

She can sing, she's hot, and she kicks ass at tetris. I don't think you could get any more of an ideal woman than that!

Wants--wait.... NEEDS sex. Since that's missing I'll stick with my own Tetris-infused, singing, girly girlfriend.

The good thing is that you'll always hold something. So the day I hit the 99 mil score I'll take a picture of it... with the empty box :)

5.1 million now ;(

When you walked away, you didn't hear me say, "Please, oh baby... don't go..."

You're easy breezy and I'm japaneesy?

nubbe · (08-26-2006, 09:03 PM)

Neat, she plays fast.

Speed Tetris

Zaptruder · (08-26-2006, 09:04 PM)

It's crazy how good she is at Tetris.

She's basically looking at the blocks; looking at their position, precounting the number of clicks that it'll need to rotate properly, as well as where it needs to fit.

It's not only that she sees the pieces there, from the preview, but that knows exactly what button presses to do to make it happen.

Of course it took her a while to warm up, but yeah, that's crazy.

But it's not physically demanding like say Ouendan can be! So of course there are better players with similar characteristics but higher dexterity.

Of course none of them manage to combine it with such fame and good looks and voice! (actually, her speaking voice is a little hoarse, but she sings great).

thehighlight · (08-26-2006, 09:30 PM)

Damn.

Ah but isn't her speaking voice part of the appeal? <3

Aurora · (08-26-2006, 10:31 PM)

I'm in love.

Pristine_Condition · (08-26-2006, 11:09 PM)

I find Tetris DS kinda cheap with the ghost helper. Though I still suck compared to her, of course.

What can she do in Lumines?

Sweedishrodeo · (08-26-2006, 11:12 PM)

0.o

Well she doesn't really need that ghost as you can see by this

Doubtful, but hey, maybe the next thing you know she'll end up on Iron Chef with the help of Cooking Mama DS.

Utada Rocks

kenta · (08-27-2006, 12:31 AM)

She is very "Girl Next Door" and I'm a sucker for those girls, I'd never seen her before this

(I'm now listening to the KH intros :)

typhonsentra · (08-27-2006, 12:33 AM)

Isn't she an American?

SnowWolf · (08-27-2006, 12:53 AM)

Yeah, she's from New York City.

Her songs are often hit-or-miss, and I can't stand the wailing in some of her ballads. I enjoyed her Ultra Blue album for the most part though. She was also a total fattie just a year ago, she's slimmed down quite a bit :)

Dice · (08-27-2006, 12:58 AM)

ah yes, I've been a hikki fan since "addicted to you"

I remember another time I saw a video of her schooling some guy in tetris on a talk show

Mr. Spinnington · (08-27-2006, 01:04 AM)

Her music rules, love the PlanitB remixes.

Error · (08-27-2006, 02:14 AM)

she is so cute specially with glasses.

LiveFromKyoto · (08-27-2006, 04:57 AM)

The girl can sing like nobody's business, though her style of music's not my thing. But my goodness is she average looking. She has alot of very flattering pictures taken of her.

Tetris is not hot in a woman... In Japan a lot of women play puzzle games it is far from rare.. find me a woman who plays a lot of different games and you have a winner...

XMonkey · (08-27-2006, 11:54 AM)

Her cover of With or Without You on MTV Unplugged was amazing... :)

She was born in America and lived there for a large chunk of her childhood.

linsivvi · (08-27-2006, 02:00 PM)

Since nobody bothered to post the 2nd movie where she got her ass kicked by the developers, I'll do it

Haha, she got her ass handed to her XD

PolyGone · (08-27-2006, 02:27 PM)

she beat the second developer guy, thats not so bad... especially considering she's the spokesmodel... somehow I didn't think she could pull it off

kpop100 · (08-27-2006, 02:30 PM)

Funny how after losing that first match she was complaining about the button being too stiff.

fly high ~ayunite~ · (08-27-2006, 02:37 PM)

She's pretty good.

Her English speaking voice is alot deeper than her Japanese one..

linsivvi · (08-27-2006, 02:48 PM)

Rumor has it that her online ranking is around 7900. It's not a bad ranking at all.

rockman zx · (08-27-2006, 03:42 PM)

The second video is better than the first one, she is pretty good. Respect +1

Isn't her father a Sony exec though and wasn't she originally signed by Sony? Or am I mixing up my companies...
