The more I hear it, the more convinced I think it will flop. I haven't heard it on any of the Hawaii stations yet. Maybe KZOO plays the Japanese version.

There isn't a Japanese version of the song. Just one "Easy Breezy" and a radio edit with the "She's got a new microphone" taken out. Featured on R&R's going for adds: epk.radioandrecords.com/utada/easybreezy_090104/pop.asp

Mineable: over 20 million copies sold worldwide :o ...aka Japan
...AND TWENTY MILLION MORE SOON IN THE US! Utada's album leaked today, but her fans go by Anita Baker's rule of CD ethics and like to hold the real thing in their hands! Utada's message board even banned a member who posted a link to the album download! Go Utada Team!

AllAccess.com's banner (thanks to Josh for teaching me how to save it!): If I was a PD, I would add the song based on this cute banner! Utada fans <3 IDJ! We want Island Def Jam to make money so they can pour it into the marketing for Mariah's new album! Go Utada fans.

Everyone seems to be making fun of this song. I dont know I kind of like it The only major drawback is the lyrics. Other than that nice fun pop tune :) Doubt it will do anything.

I thought I might like this song but it sucks and I think she can't sing.

"Easy Breezy" is a GROWER. Tell me you don't sing "I still remember the ways that you touched me..." in the shower after keeping the song on repeat.
It's interesting to see why some people love it and others loathe it. Utada's music and videos are known for being distinctive, original, and her style. She doesn't have to conform to generic, cookie-cutter faux RnB pop for her US debut. She goes out there and takes a risk, always being different with her music.
"Easy Breezy" succeeds. The playful lyrics and Nintendo-techno music is so "out there" from everything on the radio right now. Yet it's cute, endearing, and fits the pop format.
Her voice is deep and unique. I have grown to like it.
If "Easy Breezy" doesn't become a big hit, at least listeners will notice it.

I agree with u Mineable, but just respect other people's opinions. Personally, 'Easy Breezy' is one of the best pop songs I've heard this year, but even I am starting to think it will flop cuz it went for adds this week and it only had 2 spins this week, that's pretty embarrasing I think anyone who reads this and is a huge Utada fan should call the radio stations like crazy and support this track cuz apparently no one is. To clear any doubts, I F*CKIN' LOVE THIS SONG!!! P.S. Check out my MP3 BATTLE POLL, and you can vote for 'Easy Breezy' in this week's U7.

No one is taking her seriously with this song. She should have released Devil Inside first, then released this one.
Avril probably wouldn't have done with Sk8er Boi if she released it first.

If anything, this song will be noticed. That one "Japanesy line" is hard to ignore! Love it or hate it. :) Seeing the 2 spins, I guess "Easy Breezy" is to PMB what Amanda Latona's "Do You Still" was to R&R Forums. I've done it again! Successfully overhyping a "Going for Adds" major record label song on the board so everyone will think it has a chance to be successful.. when in actuality, it'll have a few overnight spins and peak in the Top 128. :( I bet if PeopleBase still existed, "Easy Breezy" might have a chance at #1 (with geoguy's payola help). Top 5 is GUARANTEED.

I guess my brother in Tokyo is unaware of this song. He would be so happy Utada has a song gaining airplay in the states.

Really? "Easy Breezy" is #1 in Japan, last I heard! #1 based on the hype of her name alone.
The music video debut there and everyone seems to love it! The album is out Wednesday in Japan. "OO-TADA!"

Oh my God, this song sucks. And yet I'm rooting for it. I don't know why -- I guess I'd rather see Utada on the charts than Usher times ten.
Between her and Yamagata, now I'm starting to see why Asians haven't been successful on the US charts.
