lol no, not because it's an ayu forum.

Did you guys ever think that she was just fufilling her contract obligations with TiTO? She has a pretty wicked sense of humor and I think that she was just messing around with that album. Yes, it would have been nice to have broken into the US market, but it's clearly no skin off her back.

I remember people talking about that when it came out lol to be a reason for the lack of...everything I guess.

^She hired top hitmaker producers to TITO, I doubt she would spend that money just to fullfill contract obligations

New Utada Single Preview

Spoiler:

[Nu-NRG]

Heard that a while back..sadly is a fanmade song but it was something I'd love Hikki to release for real!!

[Andrenekoi]

Well, and here am I believing I overuse "IMO" to make sure it's clear i'm just stating opinions... And there was a quote of a post of mine admiting I may be wrong about something I said (you can find those all over AHS btw).

Anyway, neither NIN or Bjork can be considered mainstream artists, so, I don't really think this makes Devil Inside a generic song or even a easy to hit one.

Two Grammys and over 30 million albums sold says NIN may not be as popular as Micheal Jackson, but Trent Reznor is not a nobody by any means. While Bjork is not as popular, The album in question, Post, went on to be certified Platinum in the US. Not bad for a nobody either!

Anyhow, I think we've derailed the thread enough. When I want music to make me laugh, I'll listen to Faith no more/Fantomas. Dirty desire will always just make me cringe. Hopefully she is working on something grand.

[Zahara]

For me, NIN is/was a mainstream artist. Bjork, not so much.

I see you guys are discussing about Exodus and TiTO, and in my opinion, Exodus is one of the best english albums ever.

Man, the lyrics are pure fun, and I didn't understand the point of "having a proper command of english language", I mean, to make songs like "Stupid Hoe", "Alejandro" and "Womanizer" (just to cite a few) you don't really need to have great knowledge of english. (But I like those songs, except for SH)

Don't compare the lyrics of english songs from 80s or 90s to what we have now, and lyric-wise I think Hikki did a very good job on Exodus. We don't see people that often singing about the life of a aging prostitute or how to teach a guy how to get down in the club.

TiTO was a regular american album. You can't say it's generic or stuff because I can imagine Mariah Carey or Rihanna singing those songs easily, and if they did people would probably call them masterpieces.

And, in the end, I love all her stuff (with exceptions) but I can't understand some songs, like traveling for example.

Wonder 'bout, Hotel Lobby and Tippy Toe will remain in my top 10 english songs forever.

^I never said they are nobodies, just not mainstream... What just means they don't get massive radio airplay and have a pop image around them like... Madonna or Britney or Maroon 5. Even if they sell well and are pretty much successful, inspiring your sound on them is hardly an easy way to sound like everyone else does on MTV, what is the more generic anything can get. And I'm with you, let's just agree on disagreeing^^

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I wonder what she is doing with her time though...just being lazy? Traveling the world? Hmmm

[CoriKaru]

I'm so scared she's making babies.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I honestly think she's a lesbian. I guess she could still make babies though. haha

[emi♡]

I dont think she's a full lezzie. I think she's bi.

Not heteroflexible. Bi. lol

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^LOL you might be right. I just get that vibe from her for some reason.

[isthisLOL?]

She has a gay teddy, she might as well be bi

[bluegie]

lol this is quite a fresh topic in hikki's thread.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Seriously? I can't possibly be the only one who has gotten that vibe from her. LOL

[Calico]

^Lol no you're not. She's tripped my bidar for quite a few years now. She just seems so laid-back about it that I wouldn't be surprised one day if she just went "yeah, I have a gf, parents are freakin' out but no1curr man."

I think she said she was going to do volunteer work and learn more languages during her time. Wonder how that's coming along.
