Hikaru Utada likes women!?

J-Pop star Hikaru Utada and actress (and part-time singer) Kyoko Fukada are being pegged as a couple after being snapped drinking on several occasions within one of Japan's most notable gay districts in Shinjuku. Damn. Can't two chicks kick it, be friends and complete fag hags in gay bars? I personally think the pictures in Hikaru's Heart station album inlay had more weight to the lesbian rumours than this.

If Hikaru turned out to be a lesbian, I'd find it kinda cool. In fact, I think it'd just make her even cooler. Hikaru has continued to go against the grain of your bog standard J-Pop star, is an artist and genre unto herself, and has never really used her sexuality to push her music or further her career. So to come out as a lesbian would just have her as far removed from other bitches as you can get. Well, not really. Considering she'd like to kick it women.

But it's understandable why Hikaru Utada and Kyoko Fukada would be friends. They've both enjoyed long lasting careers and consistent popularity in their respective fields since a very young age.

If Hikaru Utada is a lesbian, congrats on the eventual come out. She'd drown in the liberation between coming out and not having to worry about her music career for a good while. If she isn't, then congrats on having a friend in the industry she feels comfortable enough to drink and chill with. It'll certainly make the music hiatus a bit more fun. I'm just glad Hikaru is enjoying herself. And if part of enjoying herself is sexing women, then go geddit gurl! Take a dip in the river poon.

Fukada Kyoko and Utada Hikaru in love @ あらま they didn't!
