ROFL. They didn't whitewash it from her discography! She felt that "This Is The One" is her true debut (which has apparently hurt someone so much at JPM that he needed to call her a "sellout-hooker"). But she also said that Exodus represents "thickest color" of herself. Yet, in that "About Utada" essay, she said that felt so insecure and too "try-hard" and gimmicky with the songs on Exodus. I disagree, but I know many people agree with her on this current assessment (and I can kind of see why, with certain songs... so does this mean I actually agree? Argh.). I have no doubt that it still was her -- but it probably an over-exaggerated effort on her part to overcompensate for her insecurity.

But she is in no way disowning it as a piece of work -- it's just not a "true" debut. It's still an important part of her growth as an artist. It's just this time it's more sincere... Or maybe this quote isn't the whole story. Someone needs to ask her. I'll probably send her an e-mail myself sometime...

And "You'll Die Right Along With Utada in Her 25th Thread" is pure thread-titling fail. UR DOIN IT RONG. TRY HARDER. (Though I must say "She's Got Us Oooooooing at Her Tadaaaaa(s) in her 25th Thread" contains a bit of win).

Yeah, I read that MySpace Biography as well. But until today, there was practically no mention of "Exodus" promotion wise this time around. I still consider it an important Album of hers and deserving of recognition. Oh well.

Awww really. I like the Dying one. It's different. Might be a little "Dark", but this is the women who writes songs about death and looks forward to it and just released a song title that translates into "I Die"/"I'm Dying". Hmmm.......

But hey, at least I did produce a "bit of win".

I do too.

I see... People have already taken the liberty to assume that it's a love song (me muero por ti). Whatevs.


And Sundae beat me to the U.Blog post! The Ningin interview is unintentionally hilarious. Poor David, shocked by the real world. And bless his little heart for his attempt to get her to promise him that the rest of "This is the One" would not be similar to Come Back To Me with his awkward hinting around. Part 2 will probably be a riot, too. I don't know why you're disappointed, Sundae. It was in the press release and the "About Utada" essay that she worked with them on all the tracks. Denial?

Ahh, I can see the flame wars now... What a sight to behold.
