[Utada Hikaru] ✿ New single! Sakura Nagashi ✿ the 47th thread

[Delicious n Bold]

Holy ****
That video gives me feels the likes of which nobody could ever fathom

Utada and KH
I AM NOT WORTHY


Don't mind me asking, but could someone explain this wiki article in plain English:
Utada stated that she couldn't get the same meaning she wanted to portray in "Simple and Clean" as in "Hikari", so changed the chorus melody to the one used in "Uso Mitai na I Love You"


Oh and btw
Sanctuary (closing) >>> all other versions

I forgot where I read it (since it was over a billion years ago, damn you Hikki), but I believe that when she was writing Hikari, they asked her to write an English version for Kingdom Hearts, and she couldn't use Hikari's chorus melody with the lyrics she wrote because it wouldn't fit and didn't sound right. She took Uso Mitai na I Love You melody and worked it in to fit.
