Japanese singer Utada sat with Kiwibox Senior Editor Steven to discuss how she came up with the name for her breakout English language album "This is the One," why she went with a ballad instead of a club banger for her first single, the reason why she thinks that so many Asian artists are trying to break into the U.S. market and what else we can expect from her in the forthcoming months.

She's not trying to be a Japanese artist in America.  She just wants to be an artist period !!

Ok, so I really like both BoA and Utada, and I like both their English debut albums, but I have to say, hands down, Utada takes the crown. BoA's album is really fun and upbeat, but it get' too repetitive and her English is pretty questionable in some parts. Utada's album is much more solid and diverse, not to mention very creative and clever. And lyrically, Utada's album is MUCH better. With BoA, it just sounds like she's reading off a peice of paper someone put infront of her and just sings it.

People don't seem to realize: she was born in america. It's not like she's some random idol trying for world domination, she knows this country too; she was born in Manhattan, and even after moving to Japan she went to an American school in Japan.

She's trying to be a JAV singer in America.hahahahaha.

[BringBackEternity]

BoA can speak and sing 3 languages fluently , debuted in 3 countries and has been working hard for over 11 years . I dont say Utada doesn't work hard but if you guys respect Utada , u should respect BoA too .

[BringBackEternity]

@pornstar7g well I dont hate Utada but your shit comment makes me hate her now

[Mamimi38]

i miss utada already!!!!

[Mamimi38]

@greenring01 lol! everyone says that!

[retrolutionary]

People need to stop fighting on this comment wall. Utada and BoA will never, ever be the same kind of artists, but they're both artists and being so, I imagine from Utada's response that they respect each other and like each other's work.

[greenring01]

Her. Voice. Is. So. SEXY!

[seifukusha]

boa and utada are NOTHING ALIKE. boa is a singer and dancer, Utada is a songwriter. Boa learned English, Utada is American. chill
