I KNEW it was Utada before I even clicked it! Very, very nice though. Have you had the chance to listen to her american CD (Exodus I think)?

She really really likes washing those dishes.
"Simple and clean" suddenly makes more sense.

Hell yeah, of course. I bought it the day it came out. I think its pretty decent, though its not as good as her latest Japanese album (Deep River). She needs to work on her English writing skills though... With dumb lines like "You're easy breezy and I'm Japanesey" it's no surprise she failed to make a significant impact in the American market. The tracks on Exodus are pretty hit and miss; for every good one, like Animato or Kremlin Dusk, there's a lyrically challenged song like The Workout.
But then again, it's Hikki, and even when she's at her worst, she's better than 90% of stuff out there.

Yeah, I decided to get it today with a Target giftcard. It's pretty good so far, I'm on the 8th track right now, but it's defineitly not as good as her Japanese stuff. She sings good in english though, so that's a plus

And the original point of this thread is swept up in Utada...

Hey, it's not my fault she's so cute. And talented. And perfect.

Given the average popularity lifespan of Japanese popstars, I'm surprised she still has a career. Those people's minutes of fame could be measured in the lifespan of a fly.

Is that sexual frustration I'm sensing?
