I bought her English album on iTunes here in the USA when it came out. I have to say I liked about half the album, elpicealsy Come Back to Me and Apples and Cinnamon . My hope is now that she’s officially out there in the US market that she’ll continue to become more popular among the public, and not just the anime/gaming/weeaboo crowd.The other half of the album was not quite as good, a lot of dance-oriented heavy techno tracks that were clearly made for the NYC club audience. Still, a lot better than Exodus, her first US effort.Needless to say I was thrilled to hear she’d do another song for EVA 2.0. Considering that they’ve already released a 2009 remix of Cruel Angel’s Thesis with Yoko Takahashi, and also that Maaya Sakamoto, an excellent singer in her own right, is the seyuu for the new character Mary Illustrious, I expect a couple of great songs in conjunction with the new movie.Just from the trailers, EVA 2.0 looks to be spectacular!

Amazing news, EMI will be proud I am sure, to have such a talent as Hikaru Utada, and great to see she will be continuing on with music. She brings such joy to so many though her honest art.

It’s amazing EMI is going to distribute her music throughout the world!
And oh wow! Under one name HIKARU UTADA!!! Totally exciting!

I know she was crafting her music more freely on the records released under EMI, so I am hoping she will continue to make what she truly loves to make!

Love Hikki!
