[Utada Hikaru] Japanese music waits in despair for the Goddess's return in her 44th thread

[Not Fade Away]

Hahaaa, I actually can't stand 'Easy Breezy' on that album. When she put it out as the first single, I literally shook my head. Don't get me wrong, I love Utada, but there are definitely some 'skippable' tracks on her albums for me. It's funny because I read a lot about Utada (swear I'm not obsessed lol) and even now I find out new things about her or her discography.

Like I didn't realize 'Drama' on Distance was a collaboration between her and Takuro from Glay. I don't know if they actually worked on it together, or if she sampled a guitar piece from one of Glay's songs, but I still think it's awesome.

-- Not to side-track from the Exodus conversation, but does anyone know if any famous JPop/KPop artists attended her concerts?

I am always curious about this, because we know that Gackt & Namie went to Ayu's, and we all know Namie is familiar with Utada (her cover of 'Kettobase') and we saw Koda Kumi singing along to Utada's songs on that Heyx3 CD singles countdown thing or w/e it was.

Is there a clip of that? I'd love to see! haha
