well, I'm from the US, North Carolina (east coast) to be exact and (from what i've experienced) hardly ANY one listens to her. Very little ppl know of her, but none of them listens to her like a fan. I have only met one person that is a fan of her, i think its so cool that hes a guy too, a straight guy! lol. anyways, J-pop or K-pop (especially K-pop!) isnt all that common here. Its weird to ppl, truthfully any type of music that isn't "mainstream", heard on the radio, or is by some very famous person is weird to ppl. Its really hard to find someone who listens to foreign music but if or when i do find someone, I'll ask if they like Utada Hikaru, they say "who's that?" I'll say "The amazingly awesome lady that made the theme songs to KH1 & 2" they say "oooh, i like those songs but i dont listen to her other than that."
Its so sad T-T I wish more ppl knew how amazing she is. I've tried to spread her to my friends but they only seem to like songs from anime and stuff! Other than that they listen to American songs... only me and one other of my friends listen to nothing but foreign music.
