I would have liked her more that she said HUMAN instead of MAN XD;;; men don't represent all humans ._. and I thought that she meant it as in ... either she liked a girl or she liked a gay guy ... but it had nothign to do with her orientation, oops ^^;
But the song's good :D Utada Hikaru is a great singer!
Actually, she sang it for her husband. She thought that, if she was a man, she could understand him better. The video is an allegory, don't take it straight : ) The song itself has nothing to do with sci-fi.
@Kashiradesu O.O ... OOOOOOH!!! Makes so much sense now!!! It's that someone told me that she wanted to be a man because she was an android and wanted to understand her lover better ... but then it didn't explain why she said man instead of human ... and why she couldn't understand him ... but now I understand, thank you XD!!!
she has many more songs out besides this, even some of her albums have made it to the US...oddly enough I found one at Wal Mart which seemed kinda random to me haha : /
This song is about utada and her ex, while they where together they had many arguments about really stupid things and she just couldnt understand why they would even fight. considering they are of different genders she felt maybe if she was a man she would understand but to no avail. they later settled upon a divorce.
haha, I remember how the first time I saw the video when I was younger, it creeped me out sooo bad. It scared me. I still think it's kind of weird but I understand it now.
Don't forget you are on Utube and the average IQ dips about 30-40 points so everything has to be spelled out in big letters or people will not understand.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No peoples in Japan woman get treated differently then men. Men are above woman as they technically have it. She is technically saying that she wants to be a man because she would be treated fairly. Woman aren't really treated with much respect as men would be treated because they think that all woman can do is cook and have kids. Also love in Japan not many find... Men look for the most successful woman. Also men are allowed to treat woman with disrespect.. I learned this last week. anyway cya!
Women are treated properly in Japan. I live here, although im not Japanese, i can assure you that women are not treated un-fair. They can work anywhere, and can be extremely successful as well.
i didnt say that it changed a week ago i said i learned that a week ago O.o and geez it was wat i learned its not like im saying that she died a week ago so dont get all offensive i just put in what i learned dont have a heart attack
well if you learned that a week ago, you'd think that you'd learn about the current state of women. And where the heck would you even learn that! Its complete garbage.
I like this song. I want to be a man...for real though. I have totally different reasons to want to be a man than her's. Utada wants to understand men (maybe a man that she is with) better and she believes she has to be a man in order to do that.
Errrr, yes it does. I don't think you understand what you are talking about at all. By saying "You make me want to be a man", she is saying she wants to have the freedoms men do, to be free of typical female restraints. Being that she comes from Japan, that statement is especially powerful since the gender dynamic is terribly off balance. So, for the feelings she has, she can'st express them, and therefore says "You make me want to be a man" so she can be free to say them...
One does not have to grow up in Japan to learn those values from a parent. Look at all the immigrants in other countries still carrying traditions and ideals of behavior.
I really don't think you understand this at all. Just because you can't see past the obvious doesn't mean there isn't anything below the surface. Try to remember that. And not to laugh at others because they can.
That's not what I said at all. It has nothing to do with "manliness" and everything to do with the freedom men have to say what they think and do what they want to do...it has nothing to do with being an ACTUAL man. Gender is irrelevant in and of itself. It's about their freedoms and the things she wants to say to the guy she wrote this about, her ex husband.
There's no oppressor here >.> there's no bad guy, she's only trying to say she wishes she was a man so she could be able to speak in a way that -her- man could actually understand. She wants to learn "Man speak" if you will...
Errm, I think you misunderstand what I say. And as far as I've heard, this song was written about her ex husband who did all sorts of stuff she really could not say anything about and who she suffered in silence for out of "love" and just probably being a woman in Japan. Her husband WAS Japanese and so, even if she wasn't raised there, she lived there for a time with him. I don't know what to tell everyone other than the social climate between men and women in Japan is awfully different.
I'm sure everyone, when dealing with someone of the opposite sex who they love, has run into a problem of not being able to say something because you know it will anger or hurt them. "I really want to tell you something, but I can't" I do however think it is very important to take culture into consideration too, don't leave it out. Everyone seems to be doing just that though.
I was so Happy When I saw this video on Vid Zone on my Ps3. I had never heard of it before but I liked it when I heard it. I never thought the would have any Utada but at least they had this one. Its kinda scary but cool.
Vid Zone is a programm on Ps3 that has loads of music videos, you can make a playlist of your favorite songs and download them to your mobile for free.
OMG..This is my third time commenting..truth of the matter is i cant get over this song....Theres to many words to say about this video..I still have more to say ...OMG...LOVE IT>>
She's basically saying that men and women don't see things in the same light, and she wants to be a man just so she and who ever she's singing about can see things on the same terms, and stop the misunderstandings.
thought i'd have seen her in a male form.. that woulda been cool.. was kinda waiting for that ^.^ but.. i love this song!! so much =3 its fun and kicks ass ; ]
The chinese characters that pop up look so stupid. Especially, those are the (over) simplified ones used in communist China. We Japanese (also Taiwanese and Hong Kong Chinese) don't simplify the characters to the extent that is incomprehensible...
Utada has nothing to do with China, and so I don't understand why they used those characters that are not in use in Japan... The images on the video seem to have been made in a way westerners expect Asians to look like.
I really love the Biblical reference to Adam & Eve, and how God created Eve from Adam's rib. in the song, she writes about her frustration understanding her now ex-husband...
First time I've heard this song by Hikki. Just like all of her others, I love it. Especially the video. Seems women and men shall never understand each other.
Yeah it's about her relationship with her ex-husband and how she wanted to see what it was like to be him so she could understand why he did things out of pride like most men do. Hence, the adams rib thing.
God this video is stunningly beautiful. I don't know if the imagery is intentional, but the whole android thing makes me think of a representation of her wanting to be better than a woman AND a man, and so she's using android imagery. Like, maybe the only way she can really convey her feelings is to be totally without them? I know that makes little sense. You reach a point with people you love where sometimes it's hard to feel the same passion and caring for them because of the pain they caused.
Hmm, I never understood her being an android until now. I love the part especially where she connects with the man at the end, and they seem to become one.
Aww thanks. Just my feelings on it. I'd be curious to hear everyone else's take on it.
This may or may not get an answer, but does anyone know of any other music videos with android imagery in them like this one? I like the aesthetic of cold unfeeling machinery being infused with very human qualities. It's very interesting and filled with much metaphor. Genre of music is unimportant. Don't be shy to suggest something. I'd be grateful. All that comes to mind is Bjork's "All is full of love"
you knwo i have seen alot of utada hiakru musci videos adn interviews, adn i really might think she might be bisexual or a lesbian..........i have never seen her wityh a boyfriend, first i thought cuz she was tyooo busy making music, but i seriously think that now, sorry, but i still ove her no matter what , cuz she is amazing, no matter sexuality
Album was released in America but it didn't do anywhere near as well as it deserved. The album is called Exodus, released under the name "UTADA" (rather than Utada Hikaru), and it's awesome. You can buy it from HMV japan :D
This was also released in most of europe and in the Uk. Devil Inside did well on the club chart, and this song got a lot of air play... the only problem being that nobody seemed to actually know who sings it.
i luv this song after listening to it for a while ^_^ i think she would look really good as a vampire from the Twilight series with her red eyes and really pale smooth skin xD she looks so cool in this video!!!!
I also think that the clips of the men were being downloaded into the robotic Utada creating a femaled male** The rib that was cracked out of the guy could've meant that she was being reborned into a man from the male rib.
So maybe she was being programmed then re-borned into or as a man.
A good clip doesn't have to look good. When it shows the clips of men in the background like the astronaut etc. She wants to be a man. Too understand them, too understand her husband, why are women treated differently.
She said on an interview that it was about her sex like with Kiriya (Ex-husband)
Well we all know that utada hikaru is an awesome singer...beside she's very popular in japan...i am a big fan of her...well i guess all of you too...well love this song too and ofcoures all of her songs...thank you for supporting her...
this song is awesome....utada hikaru really is a great singer....she's my idol...heheheh...well a great singer deserves a great voice....the song is great....

Aww thanks. Just my feelings on it. I'd be curious to hear everyone else's take on it.
This may or may not get an answer, but does anyone know of any other music videos with android imagery in them like this one? I like the aesthetic of cold unfeeling machinery being infused with very human qualities. It's very interesting and filled with much metaphor. Genre of music is unimportant. Don't be shy to suggest something. I'd be grateful. All that comes to mind is Bjork's "All is full of love"

I don't think this music video means she's lesbian.
If you paid attention to the start of the video, there were astronauts and gymnasts. I thought it had something to do with the sexism in Japan.
Doesn't it seem so?

and what is the gayass rivalry thing between her and hamasaki ayumi, they are both in 2 different catagories of music?
yoshikun15 3 years ago
there IS no rivalry...ayumi may be more "pop"-y but in the end, they are both generally "j-pop"

utada is awsome i cant wait for her 2008 english album
wait did this album actually debut in america or in japan
so did she just make a english album or was it for america??>>
KURISUCHRIS99 3 years ago
Album was released in America but it didn't do anywhere near as well as it deserved. The album is called Exodus, released under the name "UTADA" (rather than Utada Hikaru), and it's awesome. You can buy it from HMV japan :D
NaoHikaru 3 years ago
This was also released in most of europe and in the Uk. Devil Inside did well on the club chart, and this song got a lot of air play... the only problem being that nobody seemed to actually know who sings it.

I also think that the clips of the men were being downloaded into the robotic Utada creating a femaled male** The rib that was cracked out of the guy could've meant that she was being reborned into a man from the male rib.
So maybe she was being programmed then re-borned into or as a man.
OPINION.

samandy1110 3 years ago
I love this. The symbolism is so powerful.
A good clip doesn't have to look good. When it shows the clips of men in the background like the astronaut etc. She wants to be a man. Too understand them, too understand her husband, why are women treated differently.
She said on an interview that it was about her sex like with Kiriya (Ex-husband)
I love this! POWERFUL!
