What this article is implying is highly unlikely but still, this is my favorite part of the article.

Well, Utada's venture into this territory is worse than Boa's will ever be but that's another story for another thread. Ayumi appeals to me because she doesn't need to constantly sing about sex and partying. If Ayumi does indeed take the same route, in any language, then its the end of the world as we know it.
At the end of the day, I would love to see Ayumi do her signature style of music and show in Japanese in North America without giving up entirely on her career in Japan. She has devoted fans that love her as she is. I think (hope) she knows that.
