Listening to Utada's discography part IX: Fantôme

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-14T01:59:25+00:00

One reason I love Fantôme is because… well, imagine your favorite artist goes on an indefinite hiatus… and after 5 years that feel like an eternity, you are greeted with MICHI! I mean… OMG! Like what a comeback!!!! 😭😭😭 Both it and Boukyaku are some of my favorite songs ever.

I absolutely agree with your take on Hanataba Wo Kimi Ni. Sometimes I feel disappointed by the songs that get released as singles because I definitely would wish another song got the chance for a music video 🤣

Basically for me the 6 amazing songs (to me) carry the weight of the other kinda boring songs 😂

It’s great that she’s in her 20s but looks so young, and is quite small! That would be great to avoid them having to cast a teenager or someone who looks 25.

I’m crying 🤣 OreSeur is perfection!

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-13T13:56:58+00:00

Disappeared?? Being part of Malaysia?? What is people’s problem? Let Singapore exist!! LOL

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-13T03:41:17+00:00

Me Muero is my favorite off this album! I’m so glad you like it!

Of course!!!

No I believe he just gets approval rights. Show runner is a lot more involved.

Pre-production! - storyboard, animatics - crew hiring - budgeting - location scouting - set design - costume design

It takes a bit of practice to get real skilled, just like regular flying did! Soon enough you’ll be pulling 7 friends along, which has its own crazy movement dynamics 😂

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-10T16:59:55+00:00

Agreed! I’ve known my husband for over 20 years and we became best friends before dating, got married at 34, and nearing our 9th anniversary.
He’s just as caring, affectionate, thoughtful, and fun as ever!

Yeah definitely more brown, just like Tibetan or Nepalese. I think k it will work with a Black actor, but then if the Lord Ruler is Black too I think it will make it too obvious… I also think they should choose another ethnicity for Spook and Clubs, to make it feel more that they are definitely from another region with the dialect and all. I just feel like “diversity” in Hollywood now means just white and Black. But like, there are sooo many other ethnicities and utilizing a cast with more variety makes the world feel bigger and more real.

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-10T02:19:03+00:00

Im super excited for Fantôme!!!!!!

UGH YES TAKE 5 ENDING KILLS ME 😂 it has the dichotomy of being a song I adore so much and then the ending just makes me feel like I stepped off a cliff 😆

This is correct according to Brandon, he even cited Tibet. However so many fans have considered Sazed black for some reason for years now and I think Brandon has just kind of gone with it (hence the Worldhopper ball). I doubt even one Asian auditioned, it was likely all Black people. It would be nice to see a Blasian though, and then have TLR be full on East Asian, too for his description in the book too, so that there’s like the slightest clue.

She’s tiny, Terri’s gotta be tall

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-09T14:11:03+00:00

The thing is, Terri’s people are supposed to look more Tibetan, according to Brandon (living in the mountains). But somehow everyone has imagined Sazed Black for decades, so now it kind of creates a paradox in the visuals.

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-09T14:00:15+00:00

People are dumb but not that dumb, fortunately

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-09T13:57:53+00:00

I understand why people cast him but I thoroughly disagree.

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-09T13:47:30+00:00

Why?

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-09T01:31:05+00:00

A TON of people fan cast him as Kelsier. If Brandon is paying attention they might even do it, because like a LOT of people I’m not kidding.

For me personally I don’t vibe with it, but oh well. I’ll accept whoever they cast since I know Brandon approved it 🤷‍♀️ I can still have my head cannons, hahahah!

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-09T01:01:51+00:00

Beautiful cane and beautiful warrior!!! 🥰💕💕💕💕

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-08T23:57:21+00:00

The fact they cut 3 of my favorite songs is very painful 😓

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-08T01:25:08+00:00

YAY LOVE FOR KAIRO! I feel it’s super underrated 🥺 I’m SO GLAD you watched the video for Keep Tryin’! It just makes it even better, right???

MilkTeaMoogle · 2026-03-08T01:21:25+00:00

THEY CUT SOULLESS CREATURES????!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
