hi. this is my first time posting. first of all, i would like to say that i am sure very few of the board memebers here know anything of japanese pop music, but maybe im wrong! anyway, UTADA is a top selling pop artist (over 17.9 million albums sold in japan) who will be releasing her first english language album, this fall. a few people might recognize a couple of her songs. utada wrote and sang the opening theme song for the RPG video game kingdom hearts, entitled "simple and clean." she has also sang with foxy brown on the rush hour two soundtrack in a song called "blow my whistle." the last english release you all might know about is very recent, on the 2004 olympics soundtrack, "unity". "by your side" is a compilation between her,kiley dean, and timbaland. utada is a very talented woman, with a beautiful, strong, and flexable voice, and at the same time she posseses lyric writeing skills far beyond any pop artist i have ever heard in english. i strongly suggest "sakura drops," "traveling," and "for you." those are just my personal favorites. please respond, all opinions are welcome! but please give her a listin before you are very quick to judge ^_^
thanks for takeing the time to read this, i'll be so greatful for any responses! ~ichigo g.
