[Utada Hikaru] The 40th Thread

[amorphose]

What are your guys' predictions for what the songs will sound like? I think "Arashi no Megami" will be a Take 5 / kairo / Passion-esque song. "Show Me Love" makes me imagine something like First Love meets Deep River/Ultra Blue. I have a feeling it'll blend her old and new together like Exodus but more listener-friendly. I think "Goodbye Happiness" is almost certainly going to be a ballad. Maybe like Dareka no or more R&B like PoL... And I think "Can't Wait 'Til Christmas" will either be a jazzy, christmas song or something like Nichyo no Asa.

I saw this post at the U.Blog too and think it'll be really interesting if this guy's hunch is correct:

I think the “Can’t Wait Till Christmas” song is the one that utada mentioned she was trying to write; a song that voiced her feelings on the matter of her hiatus, as it’s really near the end of her ‘artist’ year, until 2-5 years from now. But I’m not sure. I’m excited though.
