My biggest problem with Exodus is that it's an album I have to listen to by myself. When I'm in the right mood for it, there are some songs on there that I really quite enjoy. However if I try to play it in the car with friends or whatever, the general response is, "What the crap is this!?" And I end up having to change the CD because they think it's weird and annoying and they don't like it.

I think TITO is a little more accessable to an American audience, although when I listen to it, it still makes me feel sad when I compare it to her Japanese work. She is capable of such amazing stuff and I wish she would make a US album more like that so I could share it with everyone. A lot of the same people who found Exodus annoying thought her Japanese music sounded cool, but they wished they could understand the lyrics. Most people like Simple and Clean, which is more true to her Japanese style. Why couldn't she make an album for US release that is more like that?
