I asked this before but no one responded yet, but is it just me or in Apple and Cinnamon, in the last chorus (around 4.10-4.25 or something) is there the random sound of a carhorn!??

I just listened carefully but didn't pick out anything unusual...she's doing her usual 'oo's during that time though so maybe it's that?

One thing I really love about Hikki's english songs is that you can TELL she's smart.

(or is it just me??)

She may be doing mainstream and writing in slang but as you listen, out pops a sophisticated or intelligent phrase here and there. :D
She's such a bookworm~~

^ totally agree ;)

Also i downloaded the album ;) but the cd is on the way XD I couldn't resist

The album is way better than Exodus (i still love Kremlin Dusk <3).
My top songs from "This is the one"

1) This One (Crying Like A Child)
2) Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence -FYI
3) Apple And Cinnamon
4) Dirty Desire
5) Poppin'

The album is great: 9/10 are good

I really don't like the composition for Automatic Part II, coz it doesn't seem to be a continuation of Automatic.

Though, I was expecting that Utada would not continue her "Exodus" style of lyrics...(where some of the songs are about sex)

Anyway, here are what favorites from the album: (based on the music)

1. On and On
2. This One (Crying Like A Child)
3. Apple And Cinnamon
4. Taking My Money Back
5. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence ~ FYI
6. Come Back To Me
7. Me Muero <though I don't like the lyrics>

Hey everyone. I wanted to know if anyone has any idea what she says in the pre-chorus in On and On? I love On and On but have no idea what she's saying there!

i checked again, its like 4.12 exactly, its this weird beep. it drives me crazy lol i thought cars were honking at my driving when i was listening!!

^ Maybe you should get a different version. Sometimes files get a little corrupted.

i really love this album. i've been an utada fan for 10 years and as much as i love her.. i was never a huge fan of exodus. after hearing this album, i'm just totally surprised. it's a complete 180 and it's AMAZING.

my favorites are:
1. this one-- her voice is just so hauntingly beautiful in this song.
2. automatic II -- after hearing the preview, i was a little surprised and i guess disappointed because it wasn't anything like AI but i listened to the full version and it's just amazing. i finally got that this is her automatic II, as in her introduction (or rather reintroduction with a new sound) to the U.S., just as automatic I was her introduction in Japan.
3. MCML-FYI-- i love how she samples the original. very unexpected the way she turned into a poppy song.
4. Me Muero -- this song is amazing and very different. love it.
5. On and On-- just because it's so catchy. :)

did she say "I love you long time" in Dirty Desire lol.
That phrase reminds me of f.o.b english lol

Top 3 songs from the album for me
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - Fyi
Automatic Part II
This one

Dirty desire reminds me of a britney spears song but 100x better lol


im actually listening to the torrent version of the album. I ordered the cd off cdjapan just an hour ago, so im hoping it comes in a week or so.
I wonder if there is going to be a big difference between the japanese release and english release.
