Yes, her US English album attempt kinda sucked, but she's still constantly #1 in sales and popularity in Japan.
Here's the proof:

Her last albums Ultra Blue and Heart Station are the best.
If you judge it against her R&B roots, then of course her music style changed.
But I think her music has one of the most innovative sounds and music arrangement in the Jpop scene. |
