Yes! I honestly can't wait for her new releases either. Whatever it is, it's going to have a special maturity to it that we won't hear anywhere else. What made Sakura Nagashi so breathless is it's maturity. It was a huge throwback to songs like FINAL DISTANCE though... Ugh... I'll just be thrilled to hear an intellectual pop star again. I love Ayu, but she's kind of a dumb blond compared to Utada, especially in terms of songwriting.

Wow, this comment is so wrong, I just can't. The "dumb blond" comment is really unnecessary. And as always, some fans overrate Utada when Japanese music scene has amazing songwriters like Yuki Kajiura, Kokia, Chara, Sheena Ringo etc. I like songs from Utada but she's nowhere people are trying to put her. Can't we just appreciate songs and artists without trying to compare and put down others? And yeah, I know forums are meant for discussion but I had to say something about this.
