Eating it right about anime and manga since 2006!

From Utada Net.com // News -
Ray’s Take: Any real fans out there? I’ve listened to maybe one of her albums in the past but to me, J-pop singers all sound pretty much similar to one another. They have similar voice range even. Of course I’d love to hear any comments on this because I can’t exactly tell singers apart sometimes. In any case, for Eva fans who just want to hear some good J-pop, it seems like she will be touring 10 cities in US.
I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

Dirty desire… oh dirty desire.. let me fee ya… no haters ne? Utada’s voice is slightly nasel compared to others, but she’s got great talent. I waited about 13 hours for her Sephora event last time in NYC. I like her Japanese songs more though.
@animemiz – glad to hear a real fan’s opinion. This is my weak area (J-pop) in Japanese culture. I hope the tickets won’t be hard to get!
I am a fan, but by no means.. however, I kinda bow to my other acquaintances more rabid actions. I was thinking about this earlier, but even my friends tell me I was pretty late on the news. So I got scooped, even though I think I mentioned this news to Mori.
I believe I dabble in way too many areas… but still I will definitely make a stance to go and grab those tickets.. ^_^
@ animemiz – I see, I guess you’ve become our news source, too, eh? :) I’m thinking she will probably come to the LA area and I’ll be living around there by next year, baby!
O_O!!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I was having a sleepless night.. so lucky!!!!!!!!!!!
Great News. Now if she would only get a venue worthy of her. Hope! Hope!
Utada is great. A lot of her work has a surprisingly mature tone compared to the rest of her compatriots who are in similar levels of popularity.
Just want to clarify the most easily misunderstood aspect of ‘j-pop’: j-pop is simply a blanket term for ‘popular music.’ So even polka or opera or jazz and so on can be simply referred to as j-pop…as long as it get’s to a certain degree of popularity and mold.
Some examples that are considered ‘jpop’ if you’re interested (all female singers since that seems to be what you’re talking about):
