I think you're reading into people's wants more than you should. We're all excited for Utada to return, but we're all very curious about how this album will sound.
For example, ayaka changed SIGNIFICANTLY after her hiatus and going indie. She's definitely not been the same artist, even if she's made good music.
So, with Utada, we're all wondering if Utada will do crazy stuff like Keep Tryin' and This Is Love because she previously did do it alongside tracks like the three she's recently released. Either way, I think we can all agree that Utada has won J-Pop this year even if she stopped at two songs. Unless Ayumi comes out with another million-dollar-and-eight-PV record, I doubt someone's going to top Utada or in-turn top Miliyah Kato.
Well, unless Koda decides to shake things up again this year... But still. Utada has won J-Pop this year. She came back with two amazing, very personal tracks, which are both mature, evolved, and memorable. I still think of them daily, even if I don't listen to them. So she's made her impression on me.
I'm just curious if Utada's going to do anything fun on this record. As silly as it sounds, I'd love another Nijiiro Bus or Boku wa Kuma. But I'd also love to hear her more upbeat style like Making Love or This Is Love. I'm sure there's bound to be something upbeat on the album. I mean, this is Utada. The girl who sang "I want your baby..." and named a song Kettobase! She's always got something quirky up her sleeve.
