Default Utada Hikaru says she will "probably not" do KHIII theme
In a recent interview Utada was asked:

Quote:
Interviewer: Are you going to be involved in the soundtrack for Kingdom Hearts III?

Utada: I don’t think so, I don’t know.
Probably not.

Mr. Utada (her father): We said no to
Disney.
Ohh…

Interviewer: You turned down Disney?

Mr. Utada: Yeah. Because they
don’t pay.
Source: U.Blog
Full interview (page 11): http://jetaany.org/magazine_files/utada.pdf

I hope the money thing was a joke. (Utada Hikaru is only one of the richest women in all of Japan, and has sold some 52 million albums worldwide.) KHIII is still far off, so hopefully she'll change her mind by then.

Well that sucks...

They should get the woman who did "Why?" for Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII to do it.

That seems... slightly ridiculous. After all, it's not just Disney that she's doing it with, but also SE. Out of the both of them, she doesn't get paid enough?

That seems a bit strange to me. o__0; Considering that KH3 production probably hasn't really started yet... I dunno if they would decided on something like that so early! Now that I read another part of the interview, it sounds more realistic. .-. Ahhhhh.

I think they were joking about the Disney thing. D:

Not necessarily. The songs she's done for KH are simply one aspect of the game. It'll be a loss if she doesn't return, but KH will still be the same even without her. After all, she only sings. It's not as though she wrote them, or that she has any involvement in the actual story.

That might just be a translation, depending on where she did the interview. If it was done in English, she might not be the best English speaker.

It strikes me as odd too, she was talking about how she didn't really care if people pirated her last album in an interview, ha. But maybe she has some beef with Disney? I don't know, I hope the interview is inaccurate.

The interview itself is a bit shakey, yes. But U.Blog is very reliable. There is always the chance that it's fake, or the interview isn't accurate, but it's doubtful.

The original interview was in English, Utada is fluent in English. She's spent half her life in the states.

It does seem rather odd and sloppy. :[ She sounds sort of right, but at the same time, it just seems off somehow. Ergh. D|

It won't go up on the main site for the moment. U.Blog is VERY reliable, buuuuut exception this time. I'll wait to see what happens with this interview.

I wouldn't have known about that. Thank you for correcting me.

It seems a bit more light-hearted and informal than I would think an interview would be like.

However, it doesn't necessarily discount that she isn't doing it. For all we know, she just might not be interested, or might be upset about having to jump through hoops with Disney to get the last two KH songs on her CD.

It might have been that the money thing was a joke. Who knows. Whether she comes back or not, KH will still be the same.

HeartStation is also reporting about this.

I don't see why you guys should deem it odd or off just because she said she wouldn't.
When she goes on to explain how she hated having to make Japanese and English versions for the KH songs, it makes a lot of sense.
