Utada isn't a singles artists, she creates an album that is truly meant to be a full experience. You're entitled to your opinion, but she's not the type of artist that can be written off by listening to a handful of songs . The discography is incredibly versatile for a pop artist The Bjork comparisons are absurd. Notice how the only people bringing this notion up are those who disagree? Who is even making this claim, besides 1 or 2 stans somewhere on the site? They are not alike, beyond making versatile pop music Also, you can take any artist and isolate certain lyrics from a discography that sound odd. Many from the video are quirky and enjoyable in the context of the song as a whole I've always like how bizzare her English lyrics can be; it's creative and unique. Even if it's not everyone's cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean doing the same exact music trends (yet worse) as American pop stars, 3 years too late? Please spare me Don't worry about her sis, she RUNS into every Utada thread to stir the pot. She's got a victim complex and thinks the Little Hikkis have Namie on their minds 24/7, when the reality is far from it Just report her dkfkalsjd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can when Utada’s discography and lyrics are truly horrific and despite not writing, Namie’s albums in her prime run are incredibly strong, she was constantly evolving, and she’s been dubbed by critics as the Japanese Janet and Queen of JPop for that reason. It doesn’t matter if you’re a writer when you produce lyrics like those in the OP Edited May 6, 2022 by suburbannature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dramatics from the bitter girls asldksjaldkj Her English music lyrics as a whole are so incredibly fun and playful. I admire her drive to do things her own way and think outside the box, unlike many lessor pop artists. Not every song will resonate with everyone, but that was never the point Especially since animato is the best song of all time easy breezy is the only suspect one tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but if we're allowed to pick favorites and not just quotes from Feel and _Gene(r)ic then picking Utada's worst from her english music is not fair. Utada is an amazing lyracists.

It doesn't matter if she's a writer if the stuff she produces is...what it is. Namie's experimentation and influence with Sweet 19 Blues, Concentration 20, Genius 2000, Style, Love Enhanced, the covers EP >>> Even her last LP had gems like the Sophie bop. She's the only one of the J-Pop girls to truly serve quality despite Utada fans living in some kind of alternate reality where she's a Bjork alternative chanteuse.
