The Internet wasn't as widespread as it is today so it felt like she was able to fool the people back then.
It felt like she brainwashed us that she had perfect pitch, had an IQ of 200, and could speak 8 different languages.

It was right of Utada to concentrate on 'human-activities'.
It's sad seeing Hamasaki making excuses about the pachinko thing and her bad CD sales.

The reason why there are still a lot of Utada-wannabes like Miliyah Kato and Kana Nishino is the Utada route is the most tried and tested way of getting sales.

ファーストアルバム700万枚として
7,000,000枚×2,500円／枚（大体ね）×印税3%（これも大体ね）

So if we just estimate her first album at 7 million copies
7,000,000 x 2,500 JPY/Disc x Royalties at 3%
= 525,000,000!

宇多田は歌唱印税＋作曲印税＋作詞印税もっとあるよ
あとカラオケ、配信、着うた関係たすともっとくる
In Utada's case, she gets singer's royalties + musical composer's royalty + lyrics royalty, so she got much more than that.
And when you include karaoke, digital downloads, and the like, it will be much, much more than that.

帰国子女って感じだったな
She really looked like she just came back from abroad

結論としては宇多田はBzドリカムと同じってことだね。
時代に上手く乗れた。
We can conclude that Utada was the same as B'z and Dreams Come True in the sense that she was able to ride well with the times.

なんのプロモーションもしてないのに何故か無名の新人がいきなり売れまくる時代スゲー
Wow at that period when an unknown newbie was able to become an overnight sensation

若者がみんな音楽語ってた時代だから
ゆずや椎名林檎も深夜番組のED曲から火が付いた
All the young ones kept talking about music at that time.
Yuzu, Ringo Shiina also caught steam thanks to their ending songs on the late night programs.

オートマティックは２ヶ月くらいかけて200万枚売り上げたんじゃなかったっけ
Didn't Automatic take 2 months before it sold 2 million?

オートマチックは売れだす前にSMAPの稲垣が絶賛してた
SMAP's Inagaki praised Automatic even before she became popular

キムタクが一時ラジオで宇多田の話毎回してた気がする
There was also a time when KimuTaku kept talking about Utada in every one of their radio shows

とりあえず俺が今でも大好きだって位すごいよ
She's so amazing that I still love her up to now.

宇多田って安室みたいにカリスマ的に憧れられてた？
マジでどこの誰が700万枚も買ったんだって感じなんだけど
Was Utada as charismatic as Amuro?
I seriously don't know who and where the 7 million people are who bought her CD.

俺も買った
安室は高校生だけだけど宇多田は大学生や社会人も買ってた感じ
I bought it too.
I think Amuro was only popular with the highschoolers, while Utada was popular with the college and the office workers too.

ダンスとかやらないから
そういうパフォーマンス路線じゃないよ
Because she doesn't dance. She's not that kind of performer.

老若男女買ってたよ
俺の家は真っ先に買ったのが親父で次にねーちゃんだった
Men and women of all ages bought her CDs.
In our household, my dad was the first to buy followed by my sister.

何で買ったの？動機を詳しく教えてくれ
メディアに踊らされたのか？心底曲に惚れ込んだのか？まあコレはないよな
Why did you buy the CDs? Tell me you motives. Were you heavily influenced by the media? Did you really like her from the bottom of your hearts? I don't think that's the case.

ビジュアル系、小室系が嫌いだったから宇多田は普通に良いと思った
Because I hated visual-kei and Komurp, and I honestly thought that she was good.

流行ってるから買ったんだろ
People bought because she was the "in" thing back then

とりあえず買っとけば損ないみたいな
It's like, you had nothing to lose even if you bought her album

１５歳の少女が歌詞に最後のキスはタバコのフレイバーなんて入れるんだぞ
それだけでも衝撃の時代だろ
Because a 15-year-old girl put the words "last kiss" and "tobacco flavor" in her lyrics. That alone was shocking back then.

宇多田の2枚目のベスト
結構良曲多かった(新曲含む)のに40万しか売れてない
なんかねしっくりくる曲しか作れなくなってるんだな今の宇多田
Utada's 2nd "Best of" album had a lot of good songs (including the new ones) but only sold 400,000 units.
It feels that Utada now can only write "nice" songs.

宇多田はベストはそこまで売れないタイプじゃね
離婚して復活した後のアルバムはミリオンいったし
Maybe she's just the type who can't sell lots of "Best of~" albums.
Her album after her divorce and comeback still went to a million.

宇多田って曲提供したりしてないの？
Does Utada write songs for others?

宇多田は自分の声にあった曲しか作れないって自分で言ってた
She said that she can only make songs that fit her voice

CDが売れてた全盛期はまじすごかった
家にファーストアルバムが4枚くらいあった
She was really amazing when CDs were still selling.
We had 4 copies of her first album in our house.

たまーにぶっ通しで聞きたくなるな
There are times when I just want to listen to all of her songs in one sitting
