hehe you should see her nowadays with her passion style <_< not really my thing but she's still hot xD

I just loved her with the classic look for Be My Last

Post by **mizune** » Dec 9th, '05, 16:57

Uhh... I don't think they look anything alike either....
They're just striking similar poses...

Hmmm.... what to do with these musician threads in the actors/actress forums...

cerberus · Post by **cerberus** » Dec 9th, '05, 17:30

Certainly not the first thing that popped into my head when i saw them pictures - in fact i'd go as far to say they are the most dis-similar two women can be, whilst both being japanese...! lol!

Nezumi-chan · Post by **Nezumi-chan** » Dec 9th, '05, 17:53

Er.......Okay............. Now I feel weird; am I the first female posting this thread...? ^^ I'm a fan of hers too! Well, kinda.... I'm new to her music....... I've heard a few of her songs, most of them are kinda urban/dance-ish, but my absolute fave from her is "First Love"........ Actually, there are two things I wanted to inquire about her in my post:

(1) does anyone have the english version of "First Love"? I have the original Japanese version, but I know there's one in English and I'm extremely curious about that; and

(2) I know she's bilingual and sings in English as well (well, don't a lot of J-pop artists do that? but, most of them sing "engrish", lol, whereas she can actually do "english"), in fact I have this track of hers a friend sent me from the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack, a song called "Blow My Whistle" with - get this - Foxy Brown of all people o.O...........but where was I going with this? right.... Ah, is it true she actually tried to start her career in the U.S. before going to Japan and making it big? Really, I was told this, really interesting, she actually'd released an english album at that time, wonder if its still around?

Ehhh, sorry for my rambling, but I'd appreciate the reply. Arigatou! (^-^)

tUrtleAE86 · Post by **tUrtleAE86** » Dec 10th, '05, 00:15

Here's her English album:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_%28Utada_Hikaru%29

I haven't heard it myself, but I heard that it just isn't up to par with her Japanese music. I have heard some of her English songs, I can't remember which ones. But, I guess the fact that I couldn't be bothered to remember them tells you how much of an impact they made on me.

That said, I still think she's a great singer and songwriter, though I prefer to listen to her in Japanese.

Hiki has actually lived most of her life in New York and is/was a student of Princeton (i think). Her Father lives here in the States and her mother in Japan, they are both very famous Japanese entertainment artists. Her album was Exodus, is availbe in the World/ Regae section at Best Buy (a mystery I have yet to understand) and is actually good, but it is nothing like her Jpop stuff and way ahead of its time here in the states. She of course speaks flunet in both languages without the use of Engrish and "Blow my Whistle" is one of my favorite songs. I also believe she is married to an american, I think, but I cant remember rightnow and am too lazy to look. If youare interested in Hiki, or namie, ayu, koda, ect for that matter, feel free to dope me a line. Ive been listening/obessesed with Jpop and rock for almost 10 years now and have quite a collection of cds, dvds, mps, and picture and sometimes can be a foutain of information. I love to get others hooked too ^_^

Post by **techie** » Dec 10th, '05, 00:49

About her marriage...
I heard she's married to the director of Casshern... Kazuaki Kiriya

The liveaction movie, not the anime

Edit:
PS./ Hikki sings the ending tune to Casshern /.D.S

Utada Hikaru married her music video director Kazuhiro Iwashita (Better known as Kiriya Kazuaki). When Hikaru got hitched, she was 19 and he was 34.

BadChase · Post by **BadChase** » Dec 10th, '05, 01:01

Umm, just to clear one thing up. Her first english album is actually Precious from 1996 and she was under the pseudonym Cubic U. It's actually really good.

Anyway if you go to the wikipedia you should find some more information.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utada_Hikaru

PS: She's both damn hot, and a damn good singer. Though I was kinda dissapointed in Exodus.

She went to Columbia before eventually dropping out to pursue music full-time. Her dream at the time: to be a microbiologist (or something like that)...

Once in a while
You are in my mind
I think about the days that we had
And i dream that these would all come back to me
If only you knew every moment in time
Nothing goes on in my heart
Just like your memories
How I want here to be with you
Once more

You will always gonna be the one
And you should know
How I wish I could have never let you go
Come into my life again
Oh, don't say no
You will always gonna be the one in my life
So true, I believe i can never find
Somebody like you
my first love

Once in awhile
Your are in my dreams
I can feel the your warm embrace
And I pray that it will all come back to me
If only you knew every moment in time
Nothing goes on in my heart
Just like your memories
And how I want here to be with you
Once more
yah yah yah

You will always be inside my heart
And you should know
How I wish I could have never let you go
Come into my life again
Please don't say no
Now and forever you are still the one
In my heart
So true, I believe I could never find
Somebody like you
My first love
oh oh

You will always gonna be the one
And you should know
How I wish I could have never let you go
Come into my life again
Oh, don't say no
You will always gonna be the one

well... she was in this one drama... granted just a 10 second cameo... here's a bad screencap

er? There was a PV for "Simple and Clean"? I think you might be referring to the PV for 『光』 "Hikari". Sometimes I think that may have been the inspiration for her english cover of the song "Simple and Clean" (same melody as Hikari but different lyrics) which is on her "Colors" single....

peachy-sama · Post by **peachy-sama** » Dec 16th, '05, 11:56

hi! i've been listenin to utada ever since her "first love" album then i got to listen to all of her albums and singles. i think her albums were:

1. cubic u
2. first love
3. distance
4. deep river
5. exodus
6. greatest hits (with colors)

i think that's all i know, i also listened to all of her songs. some of her songs were not included in her album just lyk:

1. hayatochiri (original version)
2. simple and clean
3. be my last
4. passion

that's all i know for the singles not included in her albums.

she also did some covers from different genre's. there are lot to mention but here are some: "no woman, no cry by the great bob marley" , "with or without you" by U2, etc... hehe..

peachy-sama · Post by **peachy-sama** » Dec 16th, '05, 12:11

oh, i forgot to mention "Dareka no Negai Kanau koro" which was her single from "Casshern." we all know that's the movie her hubby directed... hehe...

about the song first love, there was an english version out of it. it was sung by a Filipina artist named Jessa Zaragosa. no offense, but the orignal was the best because it was sung by hikki-chan of course. heehehe...

*Lifo* · Post by ***Lifo*** » Dec 16th, '05, 12:21

Lovely Thread !

Luv Hikki's Pix

My favorite song for her is **P-A-S-S-I-O-N**...

and the PV is very creative too don't u all agree ??!

Schala · Post by **Schala** » Dec 16th, '05, 12:50

I'm not too into Jpop, but I love her song Travelling a lot. And the PV is so....weird!

mikomi · Post by **mikomi** » Dec 16th, '05, 21:25

One of my favorite J-artists. The Travelling PV is really enigmatic, lol. It's colorful and very creative in its own way, the song itself wasn't that special the first time I heard it, but the uplifting PV soon won me over. I really like her style. Oh her new song Passion is awesome, it's somewhat etheral. Beautiful song

Thanks for the lyrics...!

But, er.......I'm confused, is that link supposed to be for a place I can download the english version? I can't find such a thing there, just a [mega-pop-up] lyrics site.....

True, the JP version...
Though since exodus release, the americanized bunch might recognize the US name

After all, Disney Hallmark Movies uses it for a screen title tune.
So yeah, hikki's growing I guess.

Oooh and to answer the previous poster...
Nope, we cant post dl links to mp3's and stuff here

Just cautious.

umm... I'm not a big Hikki fan as I once used to be (nor is she the same singer she once was so yeah that might have something to do with it...) but I don't think there is an English version of First Love. *There Is* alot of English in the original Japanese song ("You were always gonna be my love... etc etc... now and forever....something forgot the lyrics...I remember how to love, you taught me how..." First Love wasn't a fave single of mine... too slow and girly) itself though, and maybe that's what made you think so but then again I'm not so sure. I checked the single, and it doesn't have it that's for sure... I could be wrong tho...

See, thats the thing. The only reason I'm sure there is an English version of "First Love" is because years back someone made a Sailor Moon AMV with it, and the lyrics in the song are exactly what techie posted, plus I know that she also sings in English, so I took that as being true; of course, maybe I'm wrong, and the "english" version was fanmade too, with someone who sounds like her, but I doubt it...

I wish I still had the video so I could send it to you and let you check....maybe AMVorg still has it in their database....

kusmog · Post by **kusmog** » Dec 17th, '05, 22:46

Hmm... this is a long shot and I have terrible memory.. but might it be in the Majo no Jouken OST? I watched only the first few eps of it, then stopped because i really disliked the characters and the direction it was heading... I also hated Koukou Kyoushi too so you prolly can guess where the problem lies... haha! I *think* they played both japanese and english versions during the series... like for different eps or something like that... but I'm really really not so sure... maybe I'm just senile.. lol..dang... this is annoying me now >_< dammit... some fan I was...

edit: although, upon some googling here and there I found out a pinay named Jessa Zaragoza sung the english version of First Love... o_O;; I have no clue who she is...

Went googling too, and found that you're correct, Jessa Zaragoza did the cover of Hikaru Utada's "First Love" except in an edited/translated english version.

And.........yeah. Thats it.

Don't know anything else either, though some of the sites had classed her in a kind of pop-slash-R&B type singer.

Thank you so much for helping me out with this, I'd been wondering about this for a while.

pop, yes, but RnB.. i dont think so.
her songs were mostly ballad, and she has a very low deep voice.. kinda like amy lee of evanescense(not the style, just the voice)

I think the most attractive thing about a girl is her voice...and Hikaru definitely takes the cake.

Mai favorites would hafta be...

First Love
Simple and Clean
Letters
Time Limit
Automatic
Addicted to you (up-in-heaven mix)
Colors
Be my Last
Passion

omg i can go on forever....

kiwigloomy · Post by **kiwigloomy** » Jan 26th, '06, 06:45

speaking of Hirosue Ryoko, i think she is really pretty... so pretty even after she gave birth to a child. But why didn't she have braces or something? Or teeth is just.... eeeeekkkk, otherwise, her smile would be perfect =)

And now Utada, i love Hikki's song very much as well, however. Her last two, just not exactly my taste (Passion & Be My Last). So i like her old songs better =) Her first solo debut album Exodus was not that good either, maybe just weird cos everything is in english and everything. But the MV of Passion was so awesome =D
also, Utada is never really meant to be beautiful, you know?(now, she's even a little chubby)
But of course, other than her voice and singing skills, she is also quite cute and funny. I remember last time she went on SmapxSmap, she ordered "funny & interesting dumplings" as her menu, hahaha~~!!

I heard that it is quite a taboo (for want of a better word) to mess with your teeth in japan. To have your canine tooth raised (like Ryoko's) is considered "lucky" if anything. I think thats right...

Deep River is one of my most favorite songs. Deep River info with a quote from Utada @ http://wiki.theppn.org/Deep_River

I think that song is good, especially since I also like the dorama and I like Hikki (just know from this thread that she has this nickname).
Well, that song and "Automatic" have become one of my favourites.
