Is THIS IS THE ONE more popular than EXODUS?
I was finally able to get my hand on the Exodus vinyl! But was freaking out because a lot of the sites I visited had sold out of both Exodus and This Is The One.
If anyone is still looking to purchase Exodus here is where I ordered from: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UIJY-75381
I noticed on this site and another that This Is The One had sold out first, and I was actually surprised. I adore both but the favorite goes to Exodus. I find it a stronger album , compositionally and a bit more compelling but don’t get me wrong, if I was made of money I would have bought both.
what do you all think? Do you consider This Is The One the stronger album? Why do you think it sold out first?
Side bar though, I know it doesn’t matter which sells out first, either way, I’m happy to see the world enjoy Hikki’s work! And I always felt their English albums never got enough love!

The official Utada Hikaru YT channel is streaming a video that plays a mix of her songs 24/7!
It is named Hikaru Utada's Station (24/7), and it started streaming 5 hours ago as of this post.
Whether or not it's actually streaming for 24 hours 7 days a week, I guess we will have to see.
The songs being played seem to be a mix of music videos, remixes and live performances.

Grammy for Asian Artist?
Do you think current Hikki will get Best Asian Pop Music Performance award in 2027? For me 30/100.
Cuz nowadays sh*t Grammy always have given popularity or trending. They don't fucking care about talent. I mean they only open gateway for only Kpop acts though announced not only Kpop but also Jpop/Cpop and other asian acts. Maybe biggest japanese artists like Kenshi, Mrs.Green Apple, Fuji Kaze, Yoasobi, LiSA can enter this category? If Hikki get Grammy, I will happy for them. This is only my personal view. What do you think about this?

Any other differences in the Exodus/TITO remasters?
Two songs with differences (intentional or otherwise) have been noticed already, so evidently the original mixes have been edited at some point. Has anyone spotted any others? I'll keep the thread updated
Exodus:
- Tippy Toe has a new tape delay on Utada's ad-libs at the end of the song (noticed by u/Twenty20k) (video)
This Is The One:
- Dirty Desire has a verse where Utada's main vocal take is absent, leaving only the backing vocalist (noticed by u/Flash-Over) (video)
Note: if you listened to Exodus and This Is The One Remastered on Spotify yesterday when it was still June 23rd in your time zone, I think you were still hearing the original versions, even if you listened to the ones marked "(Remastered)".

Exodus Remaster
Does anyone know why Exodus '04, Easy Breezy, Kremlin Dusk and You Make Me Want To Be A Man don't have the remastered tag? Were they remastered?
I've checked other platforms (like YT Music) and the titles are the same.

So you think the Exodus and This is the One remasters will appear on iTunes?
Been thinking of getting them but really no need for a true physical copy of them having the first print runs. so was kind of wondering if anyone thinks we will be lucky and get those releases on digital.

I purchased only the limited edition version.
