Japan’s Britney Resting After Suffering Side Effects From Meds

The most popular pop music artist in Japan, Hikaru Utada, aka. Hikki, is recovering from side effects from medication taken after an operation in early April to remove a benign tumor from an ovary. The singer posted on her official website, “I’m sorry for surprising you and making you worry. I am going to rest a bit until I can work properly, as announced by my father and Toshiba-EMI. Now I am at home resting quietly. Don’t worry!” Hikki signed a deal earlier this year to release her first album in English.
