If we take Heart Station (that I myself don't find generic, but you do), Final Distance and Boku wa kuma we have 14 easy listening, radio friendly, low risk singles. This makes her any worst of an artist? Nops... it's just one of the oldest promotional strategies ever on the music industry. She is a pop musician, her music is meant to have heavy airplay, so, obviously, she will promote herself trough the most comercial stuff.
2 . You are mistaking Exodus reviews (mostly done by people with no knowlegment about her japanese work other than the fact that she was big in Japan) with TITO reviews (done mainly by people who reviews mainly japanese entertaiment and were expecting Deep River in english)
3. She actually said Exodus was infused with her quirk sense of humour... I can find the interviews, but it will take me some time (as I read them 8 years ago  ). I think I remember saying something about that during TITO promotiong too. I also don't think Hikki is sexually frustrated at all, she actually seens to be pretty... kinky by some of her personal blog posts and english interviews... |
Again, looks like we disagree on what is considered generic for her Jpop releases, but I think most people would agree that Dirty Desire and Devil inside were pretty generic. And again, all the reviews I read for Exodus said more or less the same thing they said about TiTO; great production, questionable lyrics and delivery so feel free to share the links to the reviews only raining praises.
Re #3 I would really like to read this interview and certainly, I have never heard her say anything remotely kinky on any of her English interviews. She definitely has a quirky sense of humor, I can agree to that at least.
