Comments on: Utada Around the World http://animediet.net/commentary/utada-around-the-world Eating it right about anime since 2006! Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:16:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: smashingtofu http://animediet.net/commentary/utada-around-the-world/comment-page-1#comment-10458 smashingtofu Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:28:25 +0000 http://animediet.net/?p=9982#comment-10458 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): <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgZB2JDGVs0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgZB2JDGVs0</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DThwhDp2YoM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DThwhDp2YoM</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drPWx_ux1gk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drPWx_ux1gk</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urGz0eVJQxY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urGz0eVJQxY</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNGfTJ5vNx4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNGfTJ5vNx4</a> Utada is great.

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.. ^_^ 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.

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.
