DDD, I haven't directly pointed you out as that type of person but if the guilty conscious cries out I can't stop you.
Not being a 'stan' of Utada/Utada Hikaru (I'm more of a fan) I can simply look at her release patterns to know she's not in it to just obtain instant mainstream fame. I'm certain she wants to succeed but not at the expense of her artistic abilities.
Also, if I remember correctly, she had several different labels approach her but she ultimately went with IDJ because they were willing to give her more/complete artistic freedom. Not to be a megastar.
My opinion, entitled to have, is that her music abilities are left in the mud when this song plays. Although the producer has a nice resume for making mainstream hits, just like any person's career, a bland one comes along. Utada got it.
