I'm happy she has a sense of humor, but at the same time, I don't want to listen to amateur crap like Poppin. |
So, the problem is jpop fandom being otakuland, what makes everything that sounds western bad and english a cursed language, right? I get it now

If you have a proper command of the English language, there's just no way you won't burst out laughing, or feel second-hand embarrassment to a degree while listening to either of those albums.

Well... people like Elton John were vocal about liking Exodus... as one of western top pop musicians of all time, I guess he has a proper command of English. Also, the overall reviews to that album, made by professional music reviewers who happened to be native english speakers (but not jpop fans) were also pretty good... Exodus was overall very well received by the western critics.
I guess the main problem was people expecting something deep, and magical, and ethereal and getting Hikki's quirk sense of humour and sexual innuendo instead^^
