As I see it, I do not have to like or even 'accept' everything that Hikaru has done. Unless you mean, 'accept it as bad'. As many of her things are bad.

Do we like Hikaru as a musician? Why did we like her to begin with? Because we like UH, or because we like her music?

I liked her because of her music. I have no real bias towards her as a person, besides the fact that I find her highly entertaining.

As I mentioned, I really dislike EXODUS and I pretend that the album doesn't exist. I don't think it makes me a non-fan though.

UB > DR for me, even though there are a few songs on UB that I could do without. DR is still an awesome album, and depending on mood it's 'better' than UB.
