No option fits my thoughts. And to be honest I think she acts absolutely unprofessional. Furthermore I have enough of these artists who always complain about theire job being an artist would be so hard that they need a break.

I have several points I want to point out:

1. It's simply her job being an artist. The only reason why she can permit herself taking a break is money. Most people on this planet work very hard for their money and will never have enough to go on hiatus for 2-5 years.

2. She is not the only one working hard. As metioned before most people work hard for their money and I think I'm right when I say that most people have to work a lot harder for their money than Utada has to work for her money.

3. She had chosen to be an artist by herself. She is one of those lucky people who can choose a job by themselfes absolutely free without any social borders or a certain educational achievement and earn also a lot of money with it.

4. Furthermore she is also one of those lucky people who could make her dreams come true by only making her job. Most people do something just to have a job and if they have fun by what they are doing isn't necessary as long as they earn money with it.

5. She wants to do 'human activities' instead of 'artist activities'. She wants to study and to travel. Again most people would like to do 'human activities' instead of 'working activities'. And this is an attitude by Utada which makes me really angry. For me it's like she would say 'As an artist my job is soooooooooo more hard than yours and of course it's no normal job! And it's also more important and of course I deserve it way more than you all to take a break'.

6. If she wants to take a break sure, why not. But please Utada, think more carefully about your reasons or don't point them out with this 'I'm holier-than-thou' feeling.

7. And to be honest again: I don't think she works hard. She had to pruduce 10 songs in one year (2008-2009). So she had more than one month time to make 1 song. That's really nothing for every other artist. Of course she always writes her own music and arranges it also, but for this amount of time it's nothing. And since 2009 she had 1 and a half year time to produce 4 or 5 songs, I don't know what to say about this really hard work.

8. And not to consider what an amount of money she must have earnt. To live with the financial safeness Utada can live most people can only dream off. So yeah, it's a really hard life for her with really hard work and of course with those problems and sorrows a normal human being has to bear.

9. In one point I agree with Utada: she really has to grow up. She has to grow up and to notice in what a dreamland she is living and that every human being has to handle private problems and sorrows. And that she has one big advantage: She will never have problems in her life like having no money or no job. She will never be absoluetly unhappy with her job and only make it to earn money for food and a home because she loves music and it's what she wants to do. That are problems or fears most people have to deal with in life - besides their private problems - and those people will never get the chance to take a break.
