I don't really get that mainstream feel from Ultra Blue. It's quite a 'magical' album. Most songs from UB transports me to somewhere else. It's like I can really close my eyes and her music enables me to vividly picture myself somewhere else faraway.

Speaking of pop-rock, I'd really like to see her doing more pop-rock or just rock kinda music. Haha. Her Placebo cover was pretty good!

As for me I'd describe her albums as 'personal' or 'intimate'. This is how I feel whenever I listen her albums. The music and the lyrics, the overall mood or theme that she sets for the songs are all very 'authentic'. It's like I could connect to the music on a very deep level.

When people label Utada as J-POP, I like to give them weird looks. I know that the best genre to fit her into is J-POP but this label itself does injustice to her. Like what has been said so many times before, her music is experimental and she doesn't really stick to one genre alone so sometime it really infuriates me.
