Get the Utada Hikaru mug.A New-York born singer who is widely popular in Japan. Her 1999 debut album "First Love" went on to sell roughly 10 million copies, making it the best-selling album in Japanese history. Two more albums released, and her popularity gave her the title "Japan's Madonna". Recently she has signed up with American record company Island Def Jam, and has released her American Devut album, "EXODUS". Though the sales in the U.S. were weak, it is known as the best-selling English album in Japanese history. Utada is far from over with her American career, with recent interviews in magazines, a new single, and a partnership MTV to create the world's first mobile series of music videos for their new mobile entertainment community entitled FLUX.
A surprise, her album Exodus contains interesting dance and pop music. She could be the first Japanese recording artist to really make it in the West." - Elton John

Get the utada hikaru mug.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"?

Get the Utada Hikaru mug.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.
