J-Pop Star Utada Pitches to “Legalize Gay”

utada-hikaru1Japanese-American pop star Utada is pitching for gay marriage.

Hikaru Utada, a megastar in Japan, is currently touring to support her latest English-language album This Is The One. At her San Francisco show on January 24th, she threw baseballs scrawled with a very cute teddy bear holding a sign reading “Legalize Gay” into the crowd.

While the J-Pop star hasn’t made any public political statements, Utada recently did a Christmas duet with flamboyant bi pop singer Mika and tracks from her remix album Dirty Desire are showing up on gay club playlists worldwide.

Just for fun: go check out “Easy-Breezy,” Utada’s English-language video from back in the day. Sample lyric:  “You’re easy-breezy and I’m Japanese-y.” NICE.

    Not a huge fan of Utada. I prefer bands like Yuta and the Bushido Boys personally

    They played Dirty Desire at the club I chill at a few nights ago. VERY hot song. I hadn’t even heard of her before then but she’s really good.
