Of course you know how I vote, but we all know utada will probably vote the same way you do. If utada wanted to be sexier, or needed to be sexier to sell more albums she would have done it by now.

Well I think you are confusing sexiness with (censored)tiness. She can be sexy and tasteful. She doesn't have to have her boobs all out with side cleavage to be sexy. An in easy breezy she was sexy for all of 15 seconds. And that was the pinnacle of her sexiness..

Well dear old hikki has a problem with making it big in america. She said she is the first asian major act in america. She said that america might not be ready for it as a whole. Oh course she has a lot of support from americans and europeans. But those people are already interested in japan, so its easy to get them to listen to hikki. Most of hikki's american fans heard of her through a video game, an rpg at that. Most gamers in america don't even play rpg's, (well japanese rpgs) But I think its harder to get people who are not interested in japan to buy her music. I think that and no promotion was the problem with exodus sales.

Well the sexiness issue is mainly for fanboys. I never wanted to see gackt hump mana in malice mizer lives, but they did it for the fangirls, not the fanboys. Just like we (some of the fanboys) wouldn't mind a little tiny bit of sexiness.

And one last thing you act as if japan has no sexy acts or japanese singers that are singers act and dress like hikki. Hikki is a woman artist who through her talents and her situation did not have to be sexy to sell albums, or to help sells. But a lot of women are not this lucky.

Wow that was super long gomenasai (I still didn't say everything, lol)
