I'm not saying it's horrible, but it's average at best. And I'm relating that to the average artist too. For Hikki, that's a flop. :\ It doesn't matter that it's a "foreign" release. It's still Hikaru Utada. The general Japanese audience, that likes her, still obsesses over her releases because she doesn't churn out constant work, like Ayu or Kuu. And they usually buy her stuff, no matter if it's crap or genius, in English or in Japanese. (Remember the "failure" that was EXODUS..? If you didn't know, it's a million seller, in Japan alone. :O) But obviously TITO just wasn't good enough for most of them, even though it's Hikki, so that should tell you something.
Yeah, she's doing something right. She's an icon in Japan. That's all. Her past few releases were ****. But because she's Utada, THAT's why she got number two, not because of her music. Which, I'm not trying to bring her down. I like her, too. I'm just kinda confused on some of these numbers. I expected her to still be in top ten definitely, maybe number five? But I wasn't expecting two, since this wasn't a good year for her.
