I would agree, but I love the whole chorus in general

I would have to listen to it a couple of times. The first time I heard it, I really didn't care for the music part.

Hotel Lobby is one of the reasons why I enjoy Exodus. Great song, lyrics is quite controversial depending on how you interpret them. And yes, the Fluximation for this was great looking! It's a shame nobody managed to record the live performance of this song during the "private NY show". I'm curious how good will this song sound live. When I first listened to the song, the beats sounded a bit strange for me but after a few listens, it grew on me.

Since we're talking about Hotel Lobby, yes, Kiss & Cry is an awesome song too. Love the beats in that song especially the High tension part and I love how she ends the song with the "you got me on natural high".

I'm not really sure if that song(Hotel Lobby) is meant to be performed live in a concert. In YMMWTBAM she amped up the guitar making it sound edgier and added whatever those big deep drums are called. Not really sure if she could do the same with Hotel Lobby, but it is interesting to think about how it could be a live powerhouse. Hotel Lobby is my favorite song on the album, though I do like animato and Exodus 04(doubtful she'll ever sing this one again).
Unrelated thread but my friend and I were hoping she'd sing Be My Last during the tour. Any thoughts why she didn't do this one?


I really don't know how she chose her songs.
Well, obviously she was more focused on her English songs, touring as "Utada" and all. Most of the songs on TITO were covered with 3 songs from Exodus and the KH songs.
Its pretty clear she sings "First Love" and "Automatic" at every show. "Can You Keep A Secret?" is a very popular song, at least it is in Japan. And there was "Stay Gold", she likes that song because the usage of words is very feminine compared to her other Japanese songs.
I'm sure she would've loved to sing more of her Japanese songs.... its just this tour was probably a promotion for TITO. She has a lot to choose from, I think she has a hard time making her setlist. Maybe next time she'll add on other songs she hasn't done.

The chorus is SO GREAT. But my favorite part is shen she goes "catch me cuz I think I'm falling" when all the music cuts out for a second. Ahhh I love it so much

^yes, the chorus is AWESOME.

I love the 'ahh' parts (I think) that's in the background.
Lovely.

She should perform this one day (again!)
