Koda failed here back in 2001-2002 already.On a interview around her BEST 2nd Session release,they stated that her english version of Trust your love reached #1 on club charts.She was so shocked and said "WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?".I still have yet to see any source to date that it actually got that big.Furthermore,She herself and numbers of other sources state her attempt at the US market it failed hopelessly.And you want to know why Jade of sweetbox did the US songs for Final Fantasy X-2?Because avex had said that her accent was to strong to be convincing as a singing voice for Yuna in the states.Only reason we have Koda sung english version of those song is because she want to do it anyway and used them for b-sides.


I voted for koda, because of my 3 options. I think all 3 would fail in the american market, utada technically did and she is fluent... I think that its hard for anyone from a different country to make an impact in america (save british groups). But yea as of now asian in music = major fail. I don't know why america is so closed minded? Can't even watch a subbed version of an asian movie (the ring and the grudge are perfect examples), they need to have it re-made (poorly!!!!!!!!!!) with white actors to feel comfortable watching it. I heard one guy on a forum say more than one asian doctor on a show and the audience gets un-easy...

Well anyways I feel no asian artist can get mainstream attention right now. Its a shame too, missing out on great music. A group called halcali is trying to get a european deal (to release their album in europe) , I hope they get it, but I know it would be twice as hard here in america.

Anyways I did not know koda tried to make it in america, lol. Maybe I should pay more attention to j-pop artists and their "business", lol.
