Hikki was pretty much one of the rare exceptions. Her popularity actually bounced back. Her popularity has already gone downhill since BML, and Ultra Blue couldn't pass a million copies. Her single sales were not that great and I was expecting her to get dimmer as time went on. But when FOL released, she got popular again. And the moment she announced her divorce, it was around the time she went on MSta. Then the sales on weekend bounced back and every media said it was a rare thing to see. She's quite a Godtada...

That seems to be true and this is something that seriously bothers me. Someone like e.g. Ayu gets critique for marrying foreigners, living partly outside of Japan, getting divorced. And Utada does the same, even living permanently overseas, and nobody in Japan cares much about it. This is such a hypocrite attitude.
But why do I wonder, I also don't understand the special appeal Utada's music seem to have in general.
