--- It's not just about luck... the entertainment and media industry of the U.S. is more than luck, especially when it comes to race politics and Asian American visibility. The same troupes of race politics and Asian American non-visibility and consumption caused CBTM to not take off. Like many Asian American artist, Utada fell trap to these troupes. The U.S. is still not ready for mainstream Asian American talent to surface, this is seen in major film, video, media, and the lack of Asian Americans in them.


You're entitled to think this, but remember there's nothing to suggest "Come Back to Me" was anything other than a song that didn't find its audience, like 90% of all songs that get sent to radio. Keep in mind that most listeners probably had no idea Utada was Asian or even what she looked like at all.
