So I was watching tv IN EUROPE just now and an add for Utada Hikaru came on with her new single out monday "you make me want to be a man". Wow Im really impressed that a japanese artist made it all the way over here. The song sounds great but is this a terrible translation or an intentionally weird sounding song?
there's an operation for that
sounds like gender bending:)
There are plenty of Japanese artists known in Europe.
like cassandra?
I watch alot of tv. I've never seen an add for a japanese artists single played in the same manner of an eminem single, 50 cent single or a Sugababes single.Quote:

The Mad Capsule Markets and Electric Eel Shock both get airtime on Kerrang! and MTV2. At least they did last time I had sky.
Gosh you;d never have expected it from listening to tracks like Colours and Simple and Clean. If she releases an album over here I'll buy it as I havent known her to do bad stuff.Quote:

Aside from the weird title, the song is really nice and well sung. My favourites off her Exodus album in order:
Exodus '04 (BEAUTIFUL song)
You Make Me Want To Be A Man
Let Me Give You Me Love (Ditto, bad dirty lyrics, but catchy and very well sung)
Easy Breezy (Awful lyrics, but insanely catchy)
Kremlin Dusk: (So pretty, it's nice when she sings all fast at the end)
Wonder'bout (Very catchy)
Hotel Lobby: (Not so great, but the chorus is really really good)
