I just have to say, it's not really about her not being American or being American, only that I think it's better to focus on her being actually from two different cultures, because, regardless of how someone may define nationality, or ethnicity, whatever, she is...and the only reason why I brought it up was because the essay leaned heavily in the "American" direction, and while I do understand the purposes of why it's important, since people here do tend to be a tad discriminatory...I think it would be a little more accurate and stronger, if it wasnt so pushed.
About the larger scheme of things...That position is a bit different from what I was trying to point out...just because, while Hikki has spent time here...it isn't nearly as much as, say the average native. I believe she moved to Japan when she was 5?
About her name...I don't really think about it that much...lol your joke is funny...but I personally say "Utada Hikaru" because it's like...her stage name lol I don't really care about its meaning.
To other people that have felt they need to comment...I did mention that my opinions were merely small scruples...I guess I should have praised more about the stuff I did agree on, because really, I agreed with everything, and only had, as I said, a small problem with those things, because to me, they are a bit fundamental to understanding hikki, even if they werent what the post was about.
Enfluerage was very nice though in explaining his thoughts and reasons and humoring me for the purpose of discussion, and I am very grateful for that, so I don't see the need for commentary anyone else may have on posts that are between us.
Oh about the skim reading...well...I think some people would find fault in the "talentless Ayu" just because...you know, they love Ayu...they think she's full of talent...they don't realise she doesn't actually...have a musical background or anything like that...or they think it doesn't matter...lol! who knows...people take things in crazy ways all the time.
