I've only heard "First love" and she can actually sing, unlike most female J-poppers xD

First in love is definitely one of my favorites by her.

In regards to other Jpop singers, I used to think the same way. Now I realize that many of them actually can sing, but they use certain nasally and/or high pitched sounds that are very popular with pop music right now. At first I thought Ayumi Hamasaki was horrible, [and some of her early songs I still don't like as much], but after really listening to her one day and watching her perform, I suddenly understand her appeal. She's now one of my favorites. I think perhaps with a lot of other singers it's a great deal of how we view them with western tastes than their lacking the skills to sing.

But anyway, has everyone heard she is working on another English album?

I like Utada, but I prefer Ayumi Hamasaki's music more than hers. I also like Utada's english songs more than her japanese ones. I'm not sure why, I just do.

Utada Hikaru is the best! I love ALL of her songs. She's amazing. I just bought her latest album HEART STATION.

I'm just catching up. I read she was born there. It was when I decided to listen to her music, through a Barnes and Noble listening station.

I actually like her singing. I wonder if there are any songs in the request thread.

I am a HUGE fan of hers too. I can't believe that she is so young and acheving so much. I'm not lying when I tell people this... I know ALL the lyrics to her DEEP RIVER album. It's just so freakin addictive. I even like her new album "Heart Station". OMG! If I'm not in love with it, I don't know what. I mean, she is my fave J-pop artist. ^.^

I have all of her cd's. Shes always been one of my favs. Shes so amazing. Anyone seen the Utada United concert? OMG it was cool. Though, her new cd Heart Station wasn't all that fantastic to me.
