That may be part of the problem. :)  I can't help but compare them but Utada
comes out on top easily for me.

Re-watching the video for that as I write this.

I'm afraid I haven't every actually watched any of Conan. ^^;
I think if I'd heard it at the end of Conan I'd have been impressed at how
good it sounds compared to seiyuu-sung anime songs, but in the mix of a
bunch of other top-10 artists videos it simply didn't come off as special to
me. :)  (Or her others; "Stay by my Side," "Baby, I Like," "Love, Day After
Tomorrow," "Never Gonna Give You Up" are the ones I've seen so far.)

Course this is all rather a matter of personal taste...

(erm did I just insult seiyuu songs on a seiyuu ML??  oops (^^;;

I still have more Hayashibara Megumi albums than I do for any non-seiyuu
singer, so don't worry, hehe. (^^;
