Will TiTo emerge as the swan song that determines Utada?s futures US ambitions, and I am referring to the beautiful legendary song sung only once by a swan in its lifetime, as it is dying, I have read comments in a similar vein trumpeted by the familiar Hikki diehards combined with a faint whiff of sell out for having the audacity to pander to the all powerful R&B driven US music industry.

TiTo is Utada?s definitive response and TiTo has seen both success and failure in this merciless music industry. Utada is relaxed and talkative in person and I personally hope that Utada?s comments about future expectations that TiTo has presented can be generally accepted along with the setbacks of the past (Exodus) without any bitterness.
Maybe Utada has always simply wanted to write songs for a living and as long as that option is available Utada will be content.

For a songwriter musician with 3 of the top ten best-selling albums recorded by Asian artist including the number 1, TiTo has a firm place in Utada?s careers successes, personally I feel TiTo deserves a place up there with any of Utada?s Japanese titles and does not warrant being relegated to another English language offering to complete an outstanding IDJ record contract.
I got over the kooky, mischievous, playful, lyrical naughtiness; I can?t help but feel that Utada has tongue firmly tucked in cheek putting pen to paper when writing and composing TiTo.
