iTunes.

I'd like to stress that there is almost no excuse not to get this release legally this time around.

Get it, got it, good. =x

GRACE 11th January 2009 03:23 AM

I need to spend my money on like, Kelly, so I'll download it first, and then buy it later

Beauty4123 11th January 2009 03:55 AM

i don't use iTunes. but my brother uses it, and my mom won't let me buy from there. :P

i'm already getting BoA's english album for free, but i dunno if i can get utada's. if it's at BEST BUY or something, then i have a chance of getting it :D

yes Jasmine because by right her 1st Eng album Precious was released under the name Cubic U .

In EXODUS's case , she released it under her surname Utada

I'm pretty sure they won't say "DEBUT ALBUM" when they promote it. They'll just say "UTADA - TITLE OF ALBUM" in stores now. No need to acknowledge her first album...

Hopefully this song gets a music video premiere on MTV. It definitely needs it. Wasn't FNMTV supposed to be like "music video debut central"? That thing ended pretty fast.

It would've been great promotion for both Utada and BoA.

They need to get CBTM on Itunes D:

Through traffic jams in Tokyo, New music on the radio~

I'm listening to Exodus '04. I forgot how laid-back and well done it is <3

not to mention she cowrote it with Timbaland before he hit the big time :O alongside with Let Me Give You My Love

speaking of songwriters , who else is cowriting with her on her upcoming new album ?

StarGate is all I'm remembering. :doh

kotora 11th January 2009 07:33 AM

I'd rather she names this song "Come Back 2 Me". Looks more American Slang style.

Kingdom 11th January 2009 08:04 AM

i like the new song. it gets kind of repetitive but it's very sweet. her vocals sound really good in it

CoriKaru 11th January 2009 08:25 AM

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for Utada to start back up on her Japanese Career. I wonder if this English venture will affect her Japanese music as Exodus affected it. And I wonder if it will spark her interest even more in music as it was before.

Somehow after Utada's English Album is released, no matter how this turns out, I just see Utada taking another LONG break and then popping up with a Japanese Single in the FAR future.

Of course she'll release some more English Singles off of the Album after it's out, but we'll already have all of the music so that won't be anything for us.

pommy48 11th January 2009 08:26 AM

oh how did Exodus affect her japanese career?

CoriKaru 11th January 2009 08:41 AM

Exodus resparked her interest in music at a time when she was becoming bored with music and afraid she had run out of ideas and songs to make. It influenced her to make music she otherwise would not have been able to make (ULTRA BLUE benefitted a lot from this).

She was talking about retirement and all of that.

I'm wondering if after this will she start to leave her ethereal atmospheric music behind in Japan for something else. Maybe go back to what she used to do or something she hasn't done. Although she's done a lot.

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 11th January 2009 09:11 AM

^ She hasn't done ska, jazz, trip-pop, country, or reggae.

I'd love it if she went back to Deep River Era. The songs had right amount of R&B and her "experimental", "artsy" music. HEART STATION did touch on mixing the two genres a bit but it still leaned heavily toward the artsy/experimental music.

I wonder what she will come up with next?

Melon Panda 11th January 2009 10:06 AM

I'm guessing more instrumental sounds - orchestra, perhaps? There was a bit of piano in the beginning of Come Back To Me. There's also rock, but a part of me feels like her vocals aren't strong enough to handle rock (although she could compose/produce around that).

thanks Melody

maybe there're more songwriters that she collaborated with ?

Anyone knows if her album will be out outside the US? Cause I really want to buy it physically here in Europe... When I bought Exodus I was lucky because I was on the states at the time but now I will have to buy it online if they donīt sell it in here :( (and itīs not the same to buy things online from the US that from Japan for me, cause YesAsia doesnīt makes me pay for the shipping costs)

like...are they gonna say it's her debut album, or her 2nd album, or just a new album?

well it is a new label right? Does that mean they count Exodus or no?

I think she's still on IslandDefJam, so it will count Exodus. They'll probably just say new album. :/

Don't expect it in stores on the release date. If you want it ASAP, you'll have to order it online.

I happened to run into Exodus in FAME in Amsterdam, but I was very lucky, there was only 1 copy and I immediately bought it! It actually started my true fan-being, was my first Hikki CD.

Maybe stores will have it a bit later on here? When she has released a few singles which are at least a little bit successful xD
