Oh yeah I completely agree that Hikki's Japanese lyrics are MUCH better and have a whole lot more meaning than her english ones. I was just trying to saying something positive about Exodus cuz we were kind of putting it down. It's a great album, but I think her Japanese works are x100 times better.

I too, call Kumi and Hikki by their last names often. Whenever I talk about Hikki I never call her by her fan name, I say 'Utada'...'Hikaru' always seems like her last name rather than her first name for some reason lol. And I refer to Kumi as 'Koda' a lot when I say her name aloud even though ocassionally I'll call her 'Kumi'.
