idk it's hard for me not to consider a lot of hikki tracks "experimental" just in the idea that, she produces a very different sound and a lot of it IS harder to listen to because of how she mixes.
I would exclude most of her R&B stuff here... I think people have a weird notion of what "experimental" means. Just like they have a weird notion of what "mainstream" is. Anyways, I agree overall with Andrenekoi. And I think Ayu's music is just a tad more radio friendly for Japan, only because she has a discography that is better suited for it. How much do we talk about all the summer songs and generic winter ballads she has? And actually, I think we could apply the "sounds the same" comment to ayu as well. Since she uses a lot of the same formulas and arrangements... how interesting! I just realised that lol Interesting how people are similar to each other. oh, if hikki sounds so much like "other people", I'd really love a list of these other people, cause I'd love to check them out thanks~~

As for Utada, I think a lot of people treat her as a goddess because she basically handles everything when it comes to her music (lyrics, composition, arrangement) though I wonder if she would even be nearly as popular if she wasn't so involved with her music. I feel like no one else is as versatile or takes as many risks as Ayu does when it comes to her music in the world of female soloists. However sometimes those risks don't necessarily pay off (people were turned off by a handful of tracks on Party Queen because of it, I think) but I respect how she does whatever she feels like doing without resorting to basically copy pasting tracks although you could say that her summer-y songs are all the same BUT I think that was more because of an arranger doing the same thing for every track than the songs actually being 'the same'.

I think a lot of utadas success also stems from her looking normal. Japan loves normality. Of course her videos have strange themes and images, she herself is very average in appearance. She's not a super dolled up made up created image.
And also, she kind of revolutionized the Japanese music scene in a sense with the success of her r&b music.

her music is 10 times better than the "music" scene here in the US. if anything their (the US music scene/industry) music sounds like copies (and they do sound like crap).

I believe Hikki's music is more appealing to the Japanese.
