Being low-profile probably helps, but if this would be the key, other artists would be much more popular as well. Also Ayu was just an example, divorce is never really good for female artists.
And isn't Utada having Twitter and posting personal stuff as well? Or is this new for her?
And thanks, dreamalley, this was interesting. But from what I experienced, mixed Japanese people have it harder most of the time, not to mention foreigners.
Guess it really is just a mix of things and good timing for Utada.
Anyway that's just one thing I totally dislike about her, that she seemingly can do whatever she wants without getting negative backlash.
And well, this isn't something she can control, so nevermind.
