Well, the point I was trying to make is that yeah, people know who she is, but just like any other artist she has her fans, but also the people that don't care either way, just like any other artist.
Utadah seems to be in a similar boat, but she's been on hiatus for a long time now. I'm not sure Japan would be as infatuated with her when she decides to make a comeback. She was wildly more popular than Shiina ever was back in her most popular days though, wasn't she? |

Shiina Ringo is not an intellectual persuit. Honnou and Tsumi to Batsu are literally screaming "I am not intellectual! I am inarticulate emotion!" as are the first tracks for Sports and Dai-Hakken.

The concert I went to, seemed like it was majority women by a pretty big margin.
I get the sense that she WAS a bit of a has-been but now has a career resurgence due to her drama tie-ins and NIPPON especially. EDIT: My opinion is that Utada is VERY much a past sort of artist. Especially since she's in a hiatus right now. And Ayumi is not the powerhouse she used to be. I mean, think about it: how many super-popular artist from the early 2000's are still around just as popular as before? |

That's pretty much how it goes for most acts who have been about as long as she has. No real surprise. We probably inflate her relevance a little more because this is a Ringo board after all. |
