What some of you are not realizing is that there's a difference between the "Autotune plugin" and the "Autotune effect". The "Autotune plugin" is only one of many types of plugin that does pitch correction. The Autotune plugin can be used to make a slightly off key performance sound more in tune. The "Autotune effect" is when you take ANY pitch correction plugin, turn all the settings up as high as possible, and have the voice sound like T-pain or Cher. I don't think Utada has used the "Autotune effect" in her Japanese music. If she has, it was only for like a background vocal.


However, there is no way to differentiate the "Autotune plugin" from other voice correction plugins or software just by listening to a track because they can all do the same basic things

Yes, Utada does use pitch correction every once in a while. If a singer sings a note really off and it's run through pitch correction that note will sound really bright and different from the notes around it. But the only way you can know if she uses the Autotune plugin or a different one is to ask Utada herself.

More than 90% Even YouTube singers use pitch correction now. And some big artists say they use pitch correction in live performances. .
