Hikki sounds so much better in the verse. And yeah, I hate when they show crappy sounding previews of the song. Sounds much better in full. But its still not an awesome awesome song.

Universal International, Utada's new American record label, has not lifted a finger to promote her music here. I could not even find one of her music CDs at Best Buy, a big American mall store. That tells me Universal is not doing anything for her career here in the United States. Also, her music and her performances are great As Is. There is no need to constantly pair her with these American rappers and Black artists. We don't need more rap music here or abroad; what we need, is Hikki's music well promoted here and now in America. I think Universal is just interested in the investment it has already made in all the poor taste in music in publishes worldwide. So they bought into Utada Hikaru's career just to sink it, as a money threat to their own interests. Maybe Hikki should cancel her Universal contract, or move over to Rhino Records or some more hospitable record label or promoter. Or she should just promote herself in America; her music and performances are good enough to do this. A little TV exposure, maybe on Austin City Limits - Public Television - Austin, TX - would help a lot.


I can't believe no one has called you out on your paranoid rantings yet. Accusing Universal of signing Utada in order to purposefully sabotage her career is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Utada isn't any kind of threat to them (???), they signed her because they figured they could make a quick buck out of her Japanese sales.

I'm not sure why you're bringing up rap music, either, which has nothing to do with anything. Utada's been paired up with--- what, one rapper in her entire career? Utada has never made rap music so that whole thing is irrelevant.

And I really hope you're not serious suggesting public television be a proper promotional outlet for a pop music star. She needs to get some network or cable face time.

I'm hoping now that LA Reid is on board at IDJ he might see the value of having Utada be an international star and work at breaking her in at other markets better. There were at least a couple sure-hits off Exodus that didn't get put out there because they prematurely started considering her a "dance act."

Listened to the full song, and I gotta say, the only part that made the song enjoybale to listen was Hikki's singing.

I don't know, Ne-Yo's singing bored me.
