I think that ULTRA BLUE's sales won't do too well.. It's been years since her last original album x.x I just wonder how things will go, especially with downloads. x.x x.x

She should stop her iTunes downloads for Ultra Blue if she wants the album to do well ... that's for sure. I think m(u) didn't have a lot of memorable songs for me but I guess I'll have to wait till Arena Tour 2006 because I think songs will grow on you because of tours (e.g. winding road, Memorial Address, HAPPY ENDING) so I vote for ULTRA BLUE for the moment.
The eclectic moods and fusion of techno and pop does it for me! |

Well based on what we have heard of "ULTRA BLUE", "(miss)understood" is still a better album. As much as I love Utada Hikaru's latest material it isn't better than Ayu's latest material. "Keep Tryin'" was amazing but there is something about Hikki's voice and music that is sometimes very stressful on my ears... it's something I have a hard time explaining but my ears get sore if I listen to Utada too much.

hmm...Hikki's style is changing on me but I did like PASSION alot...But I mean the other single Be My Last (I never listened 2 Keep Tryin') wasn't all that great to me. It had nice music it just had a lack of Hikki's soul.
(miss)understood was AYUmazing to me. I didn't NOT like a single song up there...well except for the LACK of interludes...But it was a good album to me. I had to get used to Ayu's new style after STEP you so it's grown on me. I'm not gonna vote yet b/c right now I really wanna jump on (miss)understood even though I haven't even heard ULTRA BLUE. So....I'm gonna be patient & wait.... |

Its kinda stupid to vote before I hear ULTRA BLUE but, I'm gonna have to say ULTRA BLUE, just cause it better be better than (miss)understood considering Hikki's had quite a while to make some new material... Plus I liked all of ULTRA BLUE's singles, COLORS, Dareka no, BML, Passion, and KT' and This Is Love sounds awesome. I didn't like Bold & Delicious or Pride though...

ULTRA BLUE will definitely overtake (miss)understood both is sales and music quality
Utada Hikaru is evolving and her style of music now is so much better than her old typical everyday R&B music Don't get me wrong, (miss)understood was a great album, but i agree with most people that MY STORY was done much better. All the songs from (miss)understood were by GEO, and were used by SWEETBOX, so there was a bit less creativity by Ayu. Still, I love both artists, and I will support them all the way. |

I'm just getting back into the J-pop scene and Hikki's new album excites me way more than (miss)understood. I don't know why but I'm fascinated with the singles from ULTRA BLUE. I can't wait until this album comes out!

I don't get the point of this thread, what's the point of speculating whether ULTRA BLUE will be better than (miss)understood? How can this make for any remotely intelligent form of discussion? Wouldn't it make more sense to discuss the merits of both -after- ULTRA BLUE has been released?
Tangentially, I think Hikki stopped making good albums after DISTANCE, though all of her singles so far (with the exception of perhaps Be my last, which is growing on me now) have been nothing short of stellar. |

I think this poll would have been a more decent comparison if we had compared her past albums with this new one. Also, as others have stated, it is kind of pointless to compare the two albums here because ULTRA BLUE has a little over a month or so before its actual release.
