Hikaru Utada broke many barriers with First Love. Expanding what J-Pop is, as well as shifting the perception of girls in J-Pop. For a debut artist to be so young and write every song on their album was not a common thing. Let alone a 15 year old girl writing a song like "First Love" which managed to garner fans across generations – leading to Hikaru Utada breaking the notion that a J-Pop artist is only locked to a specific demographic. From the young girls with the kawaii keitai, to the salary men, to the elderly; everybody knew "Automatic" and "First Love" and knew who Hikaru Utada was. And many of them are still fans of her now.
