I respect that a lot actually.Play ball,Tokyo Nights and A.S.A.P. are the "...eh"s of the album for me.Ultra Blue is much more solid but I simply like all of Ultra blue were as I rape the majority of Deep River to this day.Ultra is a every few months thing. |

When it comes right down to it, its a matter a preference. Some people don't like mainstream pop and R&B hence their ranking of TITO.
I wouldn't say I dislike Deep River but I just don't care for it and don't see it as Utada's best album. I love the first couple of songs but from 6 to 9 I always skip them. I enjoy all of Utada's other albums more than Deep River. |

What does me thinking "This is The One" is trash have to do with me being a fan?As a fan I should be able to realize when the preferred artist does less than stellar work than they have in the past.I still like them...no?I just expect better of them.I can't accept this as portrait of her talent because it's not.She could have made a better album when she 10. |

I wouldn't use the word Dislike, I prefer to describe it as an album that I don't really much listen to as compared to other albums. I have yet to listen to Cubic, Star or her older works so as for now my answer will be First Love. The songs are a bit too happy for me.
Besides, I think why people think TiTo lacks depth because the lyrics are too straight forward. Her Japanese lyrics are more poetic, not as straight forward and let's not forget many of her western fans aren't good at Japanese language; hence, it's a more unique experience when they listen to her Japanese songs. TiTo isn't one of her best work but it still has a few solid tracks. Judging from the beats, instruments, arrangement, etc, yes, the album sounds really mainstream. Fortunately it has FYI and Me Muero. Those two songs are great. It's really predictable that many fans will say they dislike Exodus. IMO Exodus is a good album, it has a higher re-play value compared to TiTo. The music is more unique and I love the lyrics. Kremlin Dusk, Devil Inside, Hotel Lobby, You Make Me Want to Be a Man... and About Me, anyone? |

i did not say that you have to "like everything" she puts out. of course there are songs of her that you won't like. what i said is to "accept" her work. there is a big difference between these two words.
peace! |

I disagree. I think it's too unoppinoinated to say that you like EVERYTHING that an artist puts out. I don't even think its possible, at least for me. I have no problem saying that I love Ultra Blue, but I dislike Precious. |

my two cents.
how can you answer this thread? i mean we are all hikaru fans and i think it's inappropriate to say that you dislike one or a few of her album/s and claim that you are a fan. a fan is someone who accepts the artist's work no matter what other people think of it. even if hikaru puts out songs that are unpopular to many people, you guys should accept that she is not perfect and is bound not to make hits at times. if a fan readily accepts the artist's work(in this case, hikaru), then you could elevate yourself to another level as far as "fanness"(?) is concerned. wouldn't it be nice to point out the good points of her records instead of the bad? |

I guess because her japanese songs are more popular in Japan than her english because its in Japanese. Not everyone can speak and read in english fluently in that country. I listen to her japanese songs for the music not the lyrics. I've always enjoyed the beats and sounds to her Japanese music. I don't understand Japanese so reading the translated lyrics just doesen't feel the same for me when I listen to Exodus and TITO. Its very poetic but I don't feel like it tells me a story like Exodus and TITO. Especially Exodus. |
