not bad at all! i need to repeat it more.

definitely a decent single choice, much better than "Easy Breezy", for sure. haha.

Hm, obviously it has more potential than Easy Breezy ever did but I still don't see this as having the potential here in the U.S. It's kind of drab in a way. I think they should have stuck her down the dance route perhaps. Hm, I actually don't know where Hikki would fit in here in the U.S. I guess afterall. Lol. I'll have to wait and see how far this song gets. It's just... there's "better" out there. I don't listen to much American music, but this just doesn't sound like it'd fit in with the "hip" crowd.

yea, BoA has the image so far for america, with the whole hip hop and stuff. utada's image is more mature/indie-ish? i can't explain, but even if she flops here (again) as long as we get a good album, i'll be satisfied, really.

LMFAO. You say that like "Prisoner Of Love" was SOOO long ago. It was her last single. Lol.

Anyways, I love the ending of "Come Back To Me" - the 'lala's are really nice.

LOL well, it's been since may, right? so for me, being very impatient and all, it was long ago

^ Lol, I understand. It has been a really long time since Prisoner Of Love first was released with Heart Station but it's just funny it is her most recent works. So does anyone have any idea when we can expect the album? I hope it has at least a little bit of variety but I know that they probably don't want to get too creative after the first album flopped (in America). It seems this time around they are really trying to fit her into the American style.

IT'S PLAYING "Come Back to Me"!
Woo thank you. Very RandB. I hope she is succesful with it, it kinda sounds like something Westerners would like, but it still has a bit of Hikki in it .

Not official. It could end up being like that though.
I just took a screencap of the IDJ site and photoshopped everything but her name and the title off of it.

In order to have something for iTunes until we get the real cover or whatever. haha

With promotion, I have amazing faith this track will get her where she needs to be. If not... well I guess that means America is still not ready to have a mainstream Asian artist. >_<

actually, i quite agree with this statement. i like the song, but i don't think it will put Utada out there into the mainstream. it sounds like a generic song anyone else can put out here in the States, at least IMO.

but i think it will gather more attention than her last attempt.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this song.

and yes the melody in the verse is similar to the chorus melody of David Archuleta's "Crush" at some part. (when she says The Rain falls, oh the rain falls) etc. The parts where she repeats reminds me of his song.

Finally she is serious about this. I like it and it's catchy. After the song ended the chorus was playing in my head. It's much more marketable than anything from Exodus. This has come to me before but I really didn't think she'll go in this direction, but I think she's aiming for the Mary J Blige vibe. She's a bit lighter than MJ though.

^Ia. I get more of a Mariah Carey feel than a MJB feel to me tho. I srsly imagining the pv to be a mix of Bleeding Love and We Belong Together. It's needs to air now.
