Utada Hikaru has been chosen as an image character for a new pepsi NEX CM, which will start airing on October 2nd.  In the CM, Utada covers “Hymne à l’amour” (Édith Piaf) with her jazz arranged version.

Utada’s version of “Hymne à l’amour – Ai no Anthem-” will be available on “Chaku-Uta (short ver.)” from September 28th, and “Chaku-Uta Full (full version)” and PC versions will be available on October 9th.  Moreover, it will be included in her next best album, “Utada Hikaru SINGLE COLLECTION VOL.2” (release date: November 24th).

It has also been announced that she will be holding two-day live concerts at Yokohama Arena on December 8th and 9th, to show fans a  great performance before she goes on hiatus.

Ticket details for the concert will be revealed on Hikki’s WEBSITE (the special concert page is scheduled to open in October.)

    Her hiatus isn’t over. Technically, it hasn’t even begun. This is pretty much that last push before her hiatus. I’m just glad she’s covering my favorite french song. What are the odds?
