I really loved almost all her song in her albums. Hikari (OST Kingdom Hearts), Deep River, Sakura Drops, Can U Keep A Secret?, Passion (OST Kingdom Hearts 2), and the newest is Keep Tryin'. Hikki is really good at pop music. Her voice is really beautiful than others (I think).

she does have a unique husky voice which is different from the rest. Passion, in my opinion, is one of her best pieces so far.

"all these other countries should learn American! with there ching chong ding dong Its the only correct language out there!..."

"GOD speaks english! what language did u think the bible was written in!!?? THATS right English... if you dont believe me go to any motel 6 and open up the top self and read the good old book!"

What do you mean by ching chong ding dong??:P

Actually I liked First Love a lot, but I'm getting really REALLY BORED cause they keep playing it on the radio every time. I like Passion, Sakura Drops, Automatic, and Hikari.

I think she's so talented and everything. One of japan's strongest songtress. I mean she has such a strong voice just like Mika's but her's is like beyond talent to me. And I think when she came back with "Be My Last" oh wow. But Automatic would be my all time favorite.

Also I'm thinking her Latest album that is coming out. "Ultra Blue" I hope that is her come back from trying to make it major in America.

"ULTRA BLUE"is out now and I HAVE a copy!!! :wub:

If you are an Utada fan, or just like her a little, you MUST go out and get this alb. It's THAT good, and I'm not kidding you! :o Even if you are just curious about new Utada, this is the alb for you! (I also recomment her "SINGLES COLLECTION VOL 1" as well for a bunch of her best older songs!)

The alb really shows how much Utada has grown with her style and her voce. Both have improved over time IMO. "ULTRA BLUE" includes:

Previous singles-

COLORS - An often overlooked but truely amazing song. COLORS is both fast and slow. Hikki's voice is smooth and harmonious with the music. If you liked "First Love" you'll enjoy this one too!

Be My Last - A song with such a dramatic feeling that it brought tears to my eyes (the PV as well), Be My Last starts slow with an acoustic guitar and builds up to a powerful chorus. Hikki's voice shines in this song. It's a must hear!

Keep Tryin' - This song has a more upbeat feeling that you'd expect from Utada, but also features an addictive, cute, and almost robotic musical score with a flowing lyrical structure. The PV itself is amazing with its artistic quality and kawaii feel. Look it up on YouTube!

Passion - Yes, Passion is back. Luckily it's the last track, so if it's feeling "played-out" (due to hours of Kingdom Hearts II), then you don't have to listen to it. (:lol: J/k) Passion picks you up and carries you to the end with a cool drum beat and electric guitar. The song seems continuous and, when it ends you'll feel a strong urge to play it over again and again. Utada really steps up with her strong vocals in this one. She not only sings beatifully, her voice is redubbed into the background as an instrument (You have to listen to understand). Passion is just as wonderful as "Hikari" in everyway.

As for newer songs, the alb doesn't let us down! -

The title track "BLUE" is a lovely mix of piano, drums, and string instruments. Hikki is charming to listen to. The song has an older Utada feeling too it though.

"This Is Love" is the first track and quite possibly the best of all the new songs. The song has a beat that will make you want to move you body from side to side while sitting. The drum beat is good, and there's electronic beats as well. I'm not sure what it is but, the song is just addictive and will make you want to sing "This is loooove, this is looo_oooove" along with Hikki! ^_^

The other songs are good as well, and may grow on you. Overall the new songs are full on piano, drum, and electronic aspects with different variations. The songs do well at feelling different from one another, and NEW for that matter.

Hope my review helped and will persued some of you who haven't tried Hikki, to go out and do so! :thumbsup:

First Love is a true gem. ^_^ Hikki sounds so young! :lol:

I'm not very impressed with her American release (Exodus) either, but I did like "You make me want to be a man." Dunno why though! lol

I wasn't so thrilled about her American release of Exodus, but when I love her japanese albums. I will check out her new single. Hmm, maybe find a download for it somewhere. The last song I heard was Passion, so I haven't been listening to any new Hikki singles.

Nice review Ty! I agree with you that 'Ultra Blue' is a great album. When I first listen to 'This is love' I thought "Wow Hikki is back!" (I think her exodus album is a no-no. No offense guys)

Then I hear 'Keep Trying' which do a major score to me. Blue and Colors are my favourite too ^^

I agree too that Exodus wasn't very good. The reason it sucked is NOT b/c is was in English, but that fact that Hikki CHANGED her style. BAD HIKKI! :bash

I couldn't be more excited and pleased with her lasted alb and singles though!!! :lalala :wub: "Be My Last," "Keep Tryin'," and "Passion" are AMAZING and are some of Hikki's very best! :flyaway Blue itself is a knock-out of an alb!!! :hug


DARA- I'll help you out with the new ones ok? :thumbsup:

I would of bought ultra bule when I was in japan, but albums are really expensive, and I already had it on my ipod. Hikki is really good, one of the first I started listing to. Only dissapointment is Hikari PV I loved that song XD she washes dishes the whole time, and then leave to get more XD Amazing voice tho.

Lol, washing the dishes pv was classic, quite funny. Very cost effective and gives us some insight into what it would be like for hikki to wash the dishes.
I doubt that she actually washes the dishes herself...so consider it a privilegde to be able to see it. :D
Square+hikki=Magic , now it time for square to get yui in there. FF13/vs 13 anyone ?

I agree with you! I enjoyed watching Hikki do the dishes and I laughed a LOT the first time! :lol: I kept asking myself: "Is she going to do ANYTHING else?!" hahaha
