Utada Hikaru announces her impending marriage to an Italian

Utada Hikaru announced through her blog on 3 Feb that she is about to get married to an Italian soon. She described her husband-to-be as a honest man who is well-loved by his friends and comes from a bright and cheerful family just like what you see in comics. Utada said that she was not getting any younger soon and hopes to have the quiet support of everyone around her as she embarks on the next stage of her life.

In addition, Utada revealed that she had been wondering if she should postpone her marriage plans after her mother committed suicide on 22 Aug last year. Although she is still in mourning, Utada decided against postponing her plans because during her last conversation with her mother, the latter was happy to hear about her daughter's impending marriage. As such, Utada feels that her mother would have supported her in her decision anyway to go ahead as planned.
