I doubt she knows about Ayumi's plans and doesn't really have any reason to care, that'd be Ayumi's business not hers.

First of all, the girl who made the question didn't ask anything technical at all. I'm surprised people take everything so seriously. The question was obviously not like "yeah Utada whatever, bring ayumi here and leave", the question was more like a fun question, trying to see how was Utada opinions about another japanese artist. And no you don't need to be the voice of JPOP industry to actually have some culture. God, if I were to ever meet a celebrity I wouldn't be asking about technical stuff or to know things you will soon enough see stamped on magazine such as "Hi Utada how are your expectatives for your new album?" Such common questions were for the people presenting the radio programme to do. You can already get all the answers you want to know about why Utada decided to make an english album, what thoughts did she put in every song in any magazine, internet article out there. Utada herself seemed to get the question in a fun way too so I don't see why ppl are throwing stones like that. And no she didn't get embarassed because of that question because she in fact was getting embarassed with each and any question they diirected to her. If you think she was not prepared for such questions then the blame is surely to be put in Utada or her producers. She couldn't even say why she made EASY BREEZY
