This is really the one ?

Long-awaited second album release from Utada... Well maybe for the US fans yeah, but other parts of the planet, maybe not so much.

Her first US debut album "Exodus" was kinda disapointing and had a terrible promotion. It was too much different from the original Hikki's style and a lot of people couldn't follow with that. But still the album had some experimental touch and some really catchy song like Kremlin Dusk. But it wasn't enough.

So what about This Is The One ? Style as changed since Exodus, no more experimental sound, please introduce the pure American pop music...

For me, only 3 songs are good enough to be quoted here : FYI - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, This One (Crying Like A Child) and Apple & Cinnamon. And don't get fouled by the title "Automatic Part II", that thing is a big joke !

This album changes style but result the same than the first experience. Really bad promotion again (they tried little bit but... Naaaa) and only few songs really stand out from the others. Still not enough to get the fans satisfied, finally everybody wants Utada to come back in Japan as the real Hikki, natural and talented.
