I think the article is well written.

I like this part Quote:
Utada's role as the most influential artist of the decade had something to do with her aura of authenticity. She kept herself out of the public eye, and by showing up once every two years or so when she had product to push she cultivated a mystique that elevated her above the countless micromanaged idols and Hamasaki manques with their doll hair and elaborate stick-on nails.
... especially the one about nails and hair and authenticity.
