I have the Utada CD digitally and it is FANTASTIC!!! My favorite song is FYI-Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence but I also like Dirty Desire, oddly Poppin, and Me Muero. It's a pretty good album with old 90s R&B and pop-urban. Like TLC or something. She's pretty good this time!
As awkward as the two songs will sound, I think that would be an interesting addition and give it some variety. Then other Utada fans won't complain that she sounds too mainstream and that she should be more like she is overseas! Anyone could get into at least one song. Yea, the sound is how she used to sound in the 90s, but why not put some of her 2002-2008 sound into it? It's a great idea. Why not be known for KH? Thats her promotion. Thats where many musical artists go wrong. They feel they need to be taken "seriously" as an artits, but thats not a way to start in the US.
