Do like quite a bit of the songs on Ultra Blue. Heart Station is where she cut her hair too short. TITO was where she had her hair pretty short. I'm glad she's growing it back now.
Colors and Dareka no Negai ga Kanaukoro were both pretty old songs before Ultra Blue. But yeah, I guess you could say Ultra Blue is the height of her career because that would have been the 1st Japanese album in a while with so many Japanese songs. It would be 4 years since the last album during that time period. |

I honestly felt Ultra blue was her...how should I say this..Well Taiyou,Akikokokokoko(:D) and Steven might get this...I feel that it was her "Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana". I'd pair off the songs such as followed: This is Love Passion Blue Colors Dareka no negai ga kanau koro Be My Last Keep Tryin' Making Love Wings Nichiyo no asa "One night magic" being the token uplifting song on the album,I feel like that of "Yattsuke Shigoto"(>.>) and Kairo was the "Soretsu". I have no idea where to place "Eclipse" honestly. |

About Me and Be My Last are so similar. They both use the same singing style, and the same instruments.
The good songs on Exodus were Animato Devil Inside Exodus '04 Hotel Lobby Kremlin Dusk Pretty much it. Easy Breezy was just too weird. TITO was just too weird IMO, especially the song Poppin. I mean, if that was the 1st song by Utada someone has heard, than they would believe that she is like the Japanese Britney Spears. A lot of songs like Come Back to Me, and On and On would make people think that. So, if you want to introduce someone to Utada, don't do it by the TITO album, do it with the Japanese songs, or even the Kingdom Hearts songs. The American Media does disrespect her by saying she is like Britney Spears. CNN, CBS, and recently MTV (they suck anyways) just said she is like Britney Spears, which she is nothing like her (those songs would just be a first impression to make people believe the media). Britney Spears is a fake plastic surgeon who looks crappy. Utada at least looks great for her age and doesn't have any half-naked images or videos of her around the web. http://www.asiafinest.com/japanese/utada.htm All Starts Here, which is weird because this is before she had any English Albums sold to the public. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fckMNcC8HdY Utada debuts in the US for the 1st time, and this is a CNN interview which was before Spears had so many more issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKTUeNieYT8 Next, CBS does this, this is after the issues were known. http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/01/19/utada-birthday/ Now MTV does it, they suck anyways. Only thing I would have to agree with if they compare her to spears is................ LEAVE UTADA ALONE! SHE'S A HUMAN! I could actually start a rant on that lol. |

lol I like how I'm Akikokokokoko...  Yeah I get what you mean about Ultra Blue as Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana. I agree, Ultra Blue was the peak. Heart Station, you can tell a great change in her voice. It was a good album though. For me, a few songs took a while to like, it had a different feel to it. I don't understand why a lot of people don't like Exodus. It is my favorite out of her English albums. It has a lot of emotion and a dark side. It doesn't sound complete, like something's missing... but it was amazing. TITO, I think she tried too hard to make it a mainstream album. Which I don't blame her for. It was a different experience for her and I know she enjoyed it, being able to use words and phrases she wouldn't be able to use in Japanese songs. I still have fun with the songs on TITO. And they sounded much better live. And by the American media comparing her to Spears, I think itsmore of their popularity... not their music or singing style or whatever. A lot of people take it the wrong way. |

I simply cannot comprehend what is there to "love" about This is The One.
I still only like MCML-FYI,Taking my money back and Dirty Desire.And I guess you can add "On and On" to that list.Everything else on the album just was eh for me.But I must say that a lot of the songs were amazing live.Not apple and cinnamon though...I will never be about to like that song.It reminds me of an old emotional by Carl Thomas this song is almost 12 years old and I think it out does A&C by far.I know that Utada can do so much better than that. edit: Look what else I found? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwkuS9FlB7M&feature=related |

I guess it all just comes down to a matter of preference.

Well, that's like saying me being compared to some random kid, but we don't have that much in common. We would be just as popular as one another in a specific area. If you look at her face during the CNN interview, she doesn't seem too happy being compared to Britney Spears. She just felt shy, that's all. Besides, the interviewer got her facts wrong, about her selling that many albums. Maybe compare Ayumi Hamasaki to Spears, just because she did plastic surgery, but she isn't a prostitute or drinks either. |
