nigga WHAT????

who even overrates them like that lmao

sheena ringo is goated but ur WYLIN

sherm......

i like to say outlandish things

who and who?

Real

Why do y’all take things like this as disrespect

cus the comparison makes no sense aside from them being japanese

Tbf idk the other artist like that I assumed they made similar veins of music

But regardless I don’t rly think “__ is this generations __” is blatant disrespect ppl are just passionate abt s*** they like especially on here

Idk what any of those are lol

the same people who overrate Carly Rae Jepsen

it's a damn shame i really loved the Rina EP and the singles for Sawayama were good, but that album grew off of me hard. i cant stand XS tbh

Utada Hikaru is good, but i'm not as crazy about her as others are

that being said, i'm not really a jpop fan in general so take that with a grain of salt

Where i start with utada i like some of rina music

Yea rina had alot of potiential but for some reason her albums didnt really live up to my expectations but i think she still got a potiential to make a classic

rina's ep and her debut still hold up very well for me but her recent album was pretty disapointing even tho i like a few songs

honestly think you should give hikaru's discog another try, she has one of the best discogs in jpop with little to no miss imo

any albums that you recommend? ngl it's been a while since i've heard Hikaru's music

Utada has transcended musician. We don't deserve them

i'd prolly say deep river, it's one of her best albums and it's where i would say she started to come into her own as an artist (her first two albums are good but are very aaliyah/mary j blige inspired).

her album from this year, bad mode was also pretty solid too. has some production from ag club, floating points, and skrillex if ur into any of those artists.

rina got one or two good songs

you dumb b****

Never heard of utada till today but this fire af

Rina not goated till she get sampled into a classic track like this 💯

I honestly think calling her a “jpop” artist ain’t it and she’s said the same thing.

She’s about as “jpop” as Adele is western bubblegum pop.

Last three albums have all been made in London with live instrumentals and big time musicians along with the best songwriting she’s ever done, check them out.

Fantôme is her magnum opus.

She also has two concerts on Netflix, one of them is her performing from the new album Bad Mode in Air Studios.

Cyber Stockholm Syndrome is a top 5 song of life

My thing with Rina is that she does several things that make her different but not great.

She makes that late 90’s-early 2000’s pop music that makes us feel all warm and cosy but that music is quite often surface level at best and she doesn’t make great enough music to overcome that.

And her presentation is very avant grade but not spectacular and it doesn’t elevate her music.

I think it’s ignorant to compare the two artists but if you were it’s clear that Rina doesn’t have the amount of juice to both make and perform something like this:

(Fun fact, the first track in this, “Kremlin Dusk”? Produced by Timbaland. Wait for those drums in the last minute or so.)
