also the rina ep needs more recognition 

 

i actually listen to it more than sawayama (although the highs of sawayama are higher than the ep)

 

I adore the Rina EP, it really reminds me to Hikaru Utada first two albums.

it reminds me more of distance than first love

 

tbh first love is overrated it's a very basic fluff teen pop record that was of its time - distance however has those BOPS and the heavy y2k sound that's also on the rina ep not to mention the significantly improved vocals from their previous releases

 

also if the rina ep is distance, does that mean that sawayama is deep river and hold the girl is exodus?

Well, I would be super excited if Hold the Girl happens to be similar to Exodus. The closest Rina has gotten to Exodus is Akasaka Sad and Fuck this World. 

 

And I agree, First Love is overrated af while Distance is underrated (and God knows she tends to forget the incredible song that is Sunglasses).

 

Distance is better in every single way and it deserves a re-release with demos and unreleased stuff just like First Love had. 

 

Even though I really like her first two albums, I must admit that to me, the real Hikaru Utada started with Deep River. That's when she started to shape a sound of her own moving away from the Y2K sound of Destiny Child's and Janet Jackson RnB.

I don't get it, how can it be factually incorrect if it's my very personal opinion?

Drama is very underrated. 

Kettobase is single worthy. 

I love both versions of Addicted to You

 

And the closer track is glorious, Hayatochi Remix is better than the original in every single way, that fucking bass is nuts.

yeah i also got disappointed when i found out bees & honey wasn't that funky-ish track showed on sawayama's making of but i still loved it since the first listen nnnn 

if I didnt get wrong that funky track is proud, she said proud and woh, b&h will come out in different way so I think it was cut in the last minutes, but I don’t know why she didnt put it on deluxe:crai:

Let's pray for a 5 years anniversary re-release of SAWAYAMA.

Yes, its master is slightly different. 

 

Thank you so much ☺
