~~Why? This is the lead CHR/Pop single for her album "Exodus" coming out October 5 on Island Def Jam.~~

UPDATE from Official Utada site:

August 4, 2004 - Singer/songwriter Utada has just completed work on the video for "Easy Breezy," the first single from her upcoming Island Records US debut, 'Exodus.' "Easy Breezy" Impacts Radio September 7th.

The video, directed by Jake Nava, was shot in late July in Los Angeles, CA. Utada took her first driving lesson in NYC before coming to the video shoot in LA, in order to look relaxed and natural in the driver's seat of a vintage Ferrarri. Excitement is already building for 'Exodus.' Time Magazine has deemed Utada "one of the brightest young pop stars in the world" while Elle raves "Utada's got the sweet-tart bite of Cibo Matto and the vocal chops of Bjork on her first English language CD, out this fall."

Jake Nava made a reputation for himself in the UK with videos for a wide range of artists, including Ms. Dynamite, Atomic Kitten, Holly Valance, Roni Size & Reprazent, and The Lo-Fidelity Allstars. He has since broken out on the American music scene, with several MTV Video Music Awards nominations this year for his videos for Beyonce ("Naughty Girl") and Usher ("Burn").

See photo from the video shoot

This song is SOOOOOOO infectious! No wonder it hit #1 on ITunes' Today's Top 100 Vocal Genre Songs!

You can find the lyrics some fans wrote up here.
My favorite line is: "Konnichiwa, Sayonara, was nice of you to stop by" :)

Here's the single cover, a lot of fans don't like it but I think it's cute.

According to fans at the Utada-Online.net forum, "Easy Breezy" was tested on WKFR's Trash Hit or Smash Hit. The DJ and listeners had a field day trashing Utada's single.

They didn't seem to "get it." Big lost for them.

Especially the Japanesy line

Since most of us are on the same page predicting it'll be a #1 song, it's time to predict how many weeks we think it'll stay on top of the charts. Predictions?

I say, it'll stay #1 until New Year since Utada album sales will be soaring higher than Ashlee Simpson's (as The End 107.9 predicted).

I REALLY like this song. I just took a listen, it's very very catchy. The first time I listened to it, I thought it was very strange, but I listened to it a few more times and I really like it. That "I'm easy breezy and you're japanesey" line will be the next "Roses" lyric in a couple months

.

Prediction: Top 10 on pop, I don't think it will hit #1 though. . .

OH I CANNOT F*CKIN GET ENUFF OF THIS SONG!!! I downloaded this song 4 days ago, and I've heard it 30 times already. This is the most instantly catchy song I've heard in a loooooooong time. I predict a smash hit (at best Top 10 at worst Maria Mena and Cherie numbers), now people might think her act is a big gimmick, and thus could seal her fate as a one-hit wonder. But it's still too early for that. As for the song, It will be a U7 pick next week so you can vote on it (www.rayato.com), this song is DA BOMB! I love japanese $#!T. I hope it's a huge hit.
