[Utada Hikaru] Coming Back to the 23rd Thread♥

On the subject of Hikki lyrics, I actually really like those in the bridge sections of Passion and Making Love which seem intensely personal, sandwiched in songs that speak more generally or create an atmosphere. Or lyrics like in WINGS which are just about everyday sort of things I think she does very well. On the other hand, I think Ayu does the opposite - singing about larger themes of fate, fear, materialism, "the times", etc. - very well. They're kind of like lyrical counterbalances to me.

I think Hikki sings about fear and fate a lot actually, but it's more hidden.. like you said, more like an atmosphere. Hikki once called it a "theme."

I love them both, and they do seem like they balance each other.
