p.s. Does anyone have Sakura Drops (Sonic Sprout Mix)?
I think it's the only official remix I don't have. . [Edited 3/4/09 21:25pm] | |

Its pretty decent. Its an interesting take. Until now, I hadn't realized how few songs there are where the woman is begging the man to come back to her after she cheated on him.
On a side note, what do you think of Boa's new song Eat You Up? [Edited 3/5/09 10:14am] | |

Not a big fan of the style either, but that's why I don't tend to like Hikki's English stuff so much too. It's light years ahead of similar artists in Thailand though. | |

. [Edited 3/2/09 20:26pm] . [Edited 3/11/09 21:38pm] The fashion is to-die-for in the video... Other than that I'm pretty neutral about Utada. I recognize she's a j-pop icon, but I've always have a really lukewarm response to her work... ...she never disappoints with her fashion choices though, I could ride and go ga-ga over her wardrobe choices alllll day long | |

Not so much off-camera.
The album's not going to make any waves in the US. I quite like a couple of tracks but judging from the previews of the others it's all fairly generic modern pop RnB. She doesn't cut it as an RnB artist, which is why I so much prefer her Japanese stuff. | |

There can't be any Utada without Passion 
Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity | |

Ok, listening to the full album now. It's definitely a very commercial sound. Not sure it has the potential singles to really make waves in the US though. | |

I'm listening to 'Dirty Desire' and I'm remembering how in her blog Hikki mentioned loving the 3121 album ( ) and I can see some of that in this. What's that Prince track called, 'Love'? | |

Like I care about the 'cute' factor (or indeed Japanese) in all this. 
I've got my jazz, along with all the other stuff I listen to, and I've also got my Hikki. She's right alongside my Monk, The Smiths, Stevie, The Beach Boys and The Roots.  | |

Having said that, I do find this very cute. 
She's so 'un-showbiz'. | |

I like 'On and On', 'Merry Christmas...', 'This One...', 'Come Back To Me' and 'Me Muero', but once again her English efforts fall way short of her Japanese stuff. This new album can't hold a candle to 'Ultra Blue'. Still going to buy it though.  | |

I fell for this song all of a sudden Even better live.
Most of that DVD is awesome. Her best ever live performance of a track must be this one of 'Hikari':  Goosebumps when she's adlibbing at the end, with the confetti coming down and that massive crowd. The band's really playing too. | |
