Lol Deep River - Ultra Blue Hikki is still the best Hikki to me. All of the compositions and arrangements of the songs on those albums are so beautiful and I appreciate most the intricacies that still blow my mind many years later. So I still only want Final Distance since that's the only option. First love and Prisoner of Love would be fine, but disappointing because the quality of those songs overall is so beneath Final Distance.

Anyways, a lot of Utada criticism here. Some of it is...interesting. She's fine live. Not a disaster. I like the emotion she puts into a lot of her lives. Her voice isn't always great. She clearly struggles sometimes. Her concerts are more simplistic. The few that she actually has. But I've never considered her awful live. And she does have great performances.
