Anyway, I'm really excited for Utada's return. I don't envy how much pressure she has on her to bring out something good.

You're right. My apologies for those I offended. But I stand by my comparisons. The content and diversity of Utada's writing and music since 2006 well contrasts Ayu's more narrow focus on love, relationships, and more generic sounding songs. That "intellectual pop" is what I'm looking forward to, as I think the only real trailblazer has been Namie in terms of maturing and evolving as an artist. My interest is piqued for Utada because I believe she will add some substance to a comparatively diluted solo female J-Pop scene since she went on hiatus in 2010.
