I love utada, she is awesome. I'm a pretty big fan, so no reason to trust trhe words of a fan boy, lol.
I've listened to TITO, I really really really like it. (But of course I like exodus and HF
) I feel the album is very strong with no weak tracks. Funny out of the 10 tracks on the album one 1 is not that great (imo) and thats come back to me, lmfao. Every other song is win. Especially dirty desire and poppin and on and on... Great album considering she was rushed to release it.
For her english you can watch this
Horrible interview, but she is talking none the less.
And her lyrics, her lyrics have always been simple,wheter its english or japanese, she has nothing on ringo in the lyrics department. But one thing I never liked about hikki-chan's lyrics was that I felt they were rarely about her, it makes me feel like they are impersonal. unlike ayu-chan whose lyrics are about her (read teddy-bear for some great stuff). With that being said, I need to pay more attention to her lyrics, I can not defend or condemn them now, although what I remember is good...
