Utada Hikaru

One of the best j pop artists of all time after Ayumi hamasaki.She has had 12 #1 hits to date on the Oricon Singles chart, with two notable record achievements for a female solo or group artist: 5 of them being million-sellers and 4 placing in the Top 100 All-Time Best-selling singles.Utada has won the Nihon Golden Disk "Song of the Year" award for 14 of her singles since 2000 and has won the Golden Disc "Pop/Rock Album of the Year" award for all 5 of her Japanese studio albums. She is also known for her two theme song contributions to Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts video game series: "Simple and Clean and "Sanctuary". In 2007, her single "Flavor of Life" reached #2 in worldwide digital download yearly single chart with over 7.2 million downloads, and contributes to 12 million digital sales for her over the same year.
g Singles.

Her voice is phenomonal at least better than Ayumi Hamasaki's. Many people just like her for the kingdom hearts themes but never listened to her japanese songs. Her album "Distance" was competing with Ayumi Hamasaki's album "A best" and she has sold more copies than her. Her song "Can you keep a Secret" reached number 1 on the oricon charts of the year. Even though shes not considered an idol like other j pop stars due to her humble looks, her songs are catchy and beautiful and has meaningful lyrics.

Many people judge her because of her english songs not even hearing her japanese songs saying she cannot write sh*t.

Utada Hikaru

Has-been in J-Pop, and through her #161 Billboard "debut" (it's actually her 2nd album in America), a never-was in America. Grew up in New York because her father's dream as a producer was to produce a hit Japanese act in America. Looks like he has to keep dreaming.

I'm breezy? WTF?

She failed as "Utada Hikaru" and failed in her "2nd debut" as "Utada". What's daddy gonna do next? Debut her again as "Hikaru"?

utada hikaru

A generally overrated J-pop (R&B) singer, who recently failed to break into United States mainstream pop music. Her lyrics are garbage, her voice is nothing remarkably original, she switches on and off from English and Japanese. She has some catchy songs, but it ends there. She unfortunately has the biggest-selling album in Japan's history. She is known here for singing the 'Kingdom Hearts' song.

Utada sucks, and so does Kingdom Hearts. Her name also sounds like the noise you make before you vomit.

Utada Hikaru

A very popular, (in japan) j-popper, who didn't quite do good in america, which is a good thing, because the last thing we need are crazed j-pop fans, taking away the foreigness (not a word, I know) of j-pop. Has a head the shape of a bowling ball, can't make up her mind on her image (Cubic U, Hikaru, Utada Hikaru, and her recent America debut)

None the less, I still admire her for her lyrics, her voice, her motivation.

"lookit the funny asian! She's trying to be popular!" -points and laughs-

Me: -throws sticks and blunt objects at them-
