"Yo! It's been a while" lol freaking Hikki

[Zahara]

You can't take the New York out of her

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Anyone else find both new songs incredibly boring...? It's so unfortunate.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^me. thank you.

[Gubsi]

sad ya'll can't get into the beauty of manatsu at least...
the mood is on point and probably one of her best songs already imo
(i think my playcount was like ~127 on day one ��)
it has that magic that i missed from ayu her ballads since her amazing Virgin Road!!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

"wahhhh I have different musical tastes and/or expectations than you do so I'll tell you to go listen to a singer who I clearly think is under anyone that I'm actually a fan of and also PIANO DUH"

...have a seat. you tried. you know better.

[Zahara]

I'm sure the album will have a few tracks for those not feeling the ballads.

[Zeke.]

Maybe they woulda been happier with another American album, lol. Probably something as grotesque as "Poppin'" would've gotten more praise. Lol.

I'm quite glad to say I can't recall how this songs sounds. (Yeah...it's fair to say I was very disappointed in TITO. Maybe someday I will revisit that album but it still feels too soon haha)

Lol, I couldn't recall it either. I think my mind blocked it out the same way it would a traumatic experience.

I pulled it up to remind myself. It's like something a sassy feral cat would strut through the back allies and fence posts to.

I love Manatsu and Beyoncé lol

Literally anything Utada releases will be a staircase above the average j pop record right now, so I'm happy she's back.

[Baernash]

I'm not sure what people were expecting from her comeback but it looks like it was something edgy. She seems to be herself, new songs are decent ballads, her vocals has change a bit (sounds less whiskey) - I'm happy that she's back.

I'm super happy as well, it has been 5 long years (we did get that other song before but it's not enough!)
I don't really like ballads but I will be super happy with anything that she releases soon.

[jean-baptiste]

I'm wagging my finger at the level of pretentiousness some of you are showing in this thread. I think all J-Pop lovers already experience a certain level of judgement for our music tastes. We should know by now not to belittle others for what they like or don't like.

[ExodusUK]

The line about doing a 69 or something still makes me feel a bit ill.

[Miduhyo]

^ During my nine to five
I'm thinking six and nine
I gotta make you mine

I can't believe I actually remember those lyrics off the top of my head. Lawdy.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Dirty Desire is my jam tbh. I can unfortunately relate to the lyrics HAHAH so embarrassing

[R_Hikki]

Dirty Desire is silly but a great dance song. I can't help but hear the first line the wrong way.

There's something that's been growing inside of me
A baby baby, a baby baby

And now that baby is finally out.
