2NO1 is only worth 'I Am The Best' and another song or two. Utada's mid-tempo/up-tempo singles have performed just as well as her ballads commercially and if you're talking about quality, I'm not exactly taking your word for it if you think the Kum rag is anything more than her temporary, flash in the pan dance jams.

As much as I'd like to entertain your delusion, people need to know who you are to be a Queen, first of all. As Utada is often credited as one of the leaders of the R&B movement in Japan, you can thank her for any "success" (ki) Crystal may have found tbh. And to imply her success is due to Kingdom Hearts is laughable considering she was on top of the Asian world with her two R&B albums before her affiliation with the series. If anyone is an R&B Queen, it's Utada

you seem really personally attached

How much have Ayu and Utada sold? Receipts would be helpful too. I'm having an argument with a Utada Hater.

He didn't add up the Ayumi album sales correctly though

[Newt]

Is the figure supposed to be larger or smaller for Ayu, Kworb? I don't know much about receipts

[Kworb]

Much larger! He didn't add the compilations, EPs and remix albums.

When's your next monthly Crystal Flop-induced breakdown btw? Let me know in advance, I want a front-row seat this time


kiii@ new evolution stanning for 2NO1 AND the Kum rag, what kinda one-two punch of trash

If my fav was ugly and sang at anime convention parking lots I'd be mad too but sweetie, just because Uganda makes music that's supposed to be ~meaningful~ and ~crafted~ (which btw is an absolute lie) doesn't make you someone who can be pretentious and throw the "trash" label on music that's actually good

[Early_Mornin]

Thanks for the receipts! The person I was arguging was saying that Utada's sales are mostly pity sales and come from the fact that she doesn't release every year like Ayu and that people will buy her music because they will miss her.

Is that person slow? Cause that literally makes no sense.

Hey Retro can you do one of those for Namie? I wonder where she's at compared to Ayu & God

[new evolution]

DEATH at Uganda having pity sales but still not selling as much as Godyumi

[Belle]

wait since when has it been a bad thing to be proud of your fave making substantial music

this site is disgusting sometimes

[blackout77]

At your transparency when you just made a thread shading Ayus sales not that long ago now she's Godyumi.

lol

Yet you probably haven't even looked up Utada's lyrics tho : /

Oh sweetie, I can do whatever I please. And it's not that I don't like the Kum rag because she's hypersexualized and doesn't focus on touch-y feel-y songs, it's that I have higher standards than praising every song put out by this chick with a BPM higher than 120. Let me not mince words, she's basic

OMG what a basic b!tch argument, sounds like something Britfan would say

[Early_Mornin]

I didn't even bother arguing with him. The only drag he has for Utada is "Dogtada". He was also comparing CK to Ayu and how CK is always releasing but is flopping. The nerve

[Newt]

@early_mornin there was obviously a screw loose, Utada haters are the pits

I just waltzed in here and people are trying Utada Hikaru.

Stop.

This is unacceptable. You are not WORTHY of criticizing Utada Hikaru.
Utada Hikaru is so far, far above any basic female pop singer you could name off the top of your head - so, so, so far above. Like...just...wow. I can't even put into words how ridiculous it is to try and come for Utada Hikaru. I literally just crossed myself after typing that.

Just go away. Go very far away. Preferably deep underground.
Filthy heathens.
