Japan pop singer Utada hospitalised TOKYO - Japanese singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, whose debut album "First Love" set a domestic sales record, has been hospitalised, Kyodo news agency said on Sunday. The 19-year-old singer, who was born in New York and attends Columbia University, has been working under medical supervision after recovering from an operation to remove a benign tumour from her ovary. While the operation was a success, Utada had been suffering side-effects from the medication, and her condition deteriorated a few days ago, Kyodo quoted her record company Toshiba EMI Ltd as saying. It was not clear where she was hospitalised. She will undergo a thorough medical examination, possibly on Tuesday, and cancel all her bookings until May 21, Toshiba EMI could not be reached for immediate comment. Utada's 1999 debut album has sold over nine million copies, and her releases, including the latest "Hikari," have consistently topped the music charts. In February, Utada signed a contract with major U.S. record label EMI and plans to release her first album in English. 2002-05-05 People: [Utada Hikaru] Japan pop music made in the USA NEW YORK - Look for the "Made in the USA" label on some best-selling music from Japan's top pop artists. 2001-06-14 People: [Utada Hikaru] [Amuro Namie] [Fukuyama Masaharu] Introductions to Japanese Pop Idols: Forewords Takashi Sori-something and Yutaka Taken...huh? 2000-12-08 People: [Ayumi Hamasaki] [Takashi Sorimachi] [Takenouchi Yutaka] [Utada Hikaru] [Noriko Sakai] Headlines Japan pop singer Utada hospitalised 2002-05-05 Japan pop music made in the USA 2001-06-14 Introductions to Japanese Pop Idols: Forewords 2000-12-08 Most-viewed Introductions to Japanese Pop Idols: Forewords 2000-12-08 Japan pop music made in the USA 2001-06-14 Japan pop singer Utada hospitalised 2002-05-05
