She would do better then Hikki in both markets. But no one is here for ifs this happened or buts. Fact is Utada flopped in 2009 and failed to sell 300,000 copies easily letting the legendary Koda Kumi take the best selling female studio album of the year award.

Yay Radio another great review!

So you've now reviewed one Namie album and two Kumi albums. Out of the two which do you personally find the better vocalist and explain why.

Sis do you really want me to say.

Radio, you should review an Utada album next

I was gonna do that one Newt recommended. I forgot what it was. Newt?

But you said "Could Koda ever sell more than 100,000 on an album that wasn't Japanese?"

I'm not here for your twisted excuses.

As in, wasn't in the Japanese language. These same twisted excuses that you are (wrongly) accusing me of, are committed by Britfan every time he tries to combine Hikki's English and Japanese albums.

Please don't. This thread is a big ass mess already. We don't need it to be even messier.

He's obviously gonna say Kumi and I actually agree. It's obvious Kumi is a much stronger vocalist.

I maybe a stan but I'm not delusional

I actually think Britfan has a point. Utada and Utada Hikaru are THE SAME DAMN PERSON. Her last album flopped. It's just as simple as that. Why do you have to make things so complicated.

What in the world are you talking about? Once again changing the subject and spewing out nonsense because you have lost the debate as usual. Not here for that.

Easily? Koda sold a Japanese album and Utada sold an English album, what's so difficult about understanding the differences. Everyone here knows that if she released a Japanese album, Utada would have opened with at least Koda's total sales.

This Is The One was released in Japan too. You're a stan and you don't know that?

And no one is here for that. We are here for facts and once again the fact is Utada released a studio album in 2009 in Japan that failed to sell 300,000 copies, didn't match or come close to Kumi's sales, and most of all pretty much flopped.

[Itsuky]

Also, don't try to tell me that the album wasn't promoted because Utada has never really promoted any of her albums to begin with.

If she has so many Japanese fans they would know that This Is The One was coming out in Japan too. Why didn't they buy it?

They are the same person, no one is saying they're not. Let me explain this as easily as I can so that no one misunderstands me.

http://www.last.fm/music/BoA?ac=boa

This is BoA's Last.FM page. Now tell me what do you see. Only her Japanese albums? Only her Korean? No you see EVERY album.

http://www.last.fm/music/Utada

Now tell me what do you see on Utada's page. Only Japanese, only English or both? You ONLY see English albums

http://www.last.fm/music/%E5%AE%87%E...82%AB%E3%83%AB

And if you didn't notice, her Japanese albums are under 宇多田ヒカル.

Are you telling me that Britfan and you are correct and Last.FM is incorrect?

[Radio Phone]

I can't at you girls

I have This Is The One and Exodus tagged as 宇多田ヒカル. Each person decides how to tag their artists.

I'm not debating that

I'm talking about the English/Japanese album issue

[Radio Phone]

Utada is the same girl regardless of what stage name she goes by and her Japanese fans still know her and if Utada is such a legend, icon, goddess w/e, This is the One would not have flopped like a fish out of water.
