Flavor of Life imo is a cute little ballad, not at all in my top 10 for her ballads but I appreciate what it did for her career at the time.

The original mix is one of the most bland arrangements post-Distance, though. It's like all the most watered down, boring elements of This Is Love and Beautiful World.

If we are talking about Heart Station favorites, Nijiiro Bus is beautiful. I just love the feeling that song gives me. I always fall in love all over again when I hear it. Same thing with Take 5. I have not listened to Heart Station for quite some time now despite that being my favorite album.

The ending of Nijiiro Bus is pure love. So spiritual sounding.

I love the HEART STATION album but dear GOD! Flavor of Life and Kiss & Cry are such a CHORE to listen to! Other than that, fantastic album.

I love the original mix of Flavor Of Life. Regarding the ballad version, I find the studio take quite boring, but I love the live version at WILD LIFE.

HEART STATION is my least favorite album and I don't care much about it, but Nijiiro Bus is PURE LOVE, oh my!

Happy to see the Nijiiro Bus love in here it’s by far my favorite track on HS. The way it starts out cute and childish but switches into a bittersweet emotional climax at the end is flawless. It’s almost as if we watch her go from a child to an adult in the span of 6 minutes.

Heart Station (the song) gave me life a few days while I was revisiting the album. Such a powerful song.

I think Heart Station (the song) is underappreciated.

Hikki posted this on twitter:

I owe an explanation to my fans outside of Japan about Sony’s video postings. It takes a little time for the videos to be ready for worldwide viewing but unfortunately it’s just how YouTube works. We’re not deliberately limiting access to anyone anywhere! Sorry for the latency!
So maybe this is similar to the Spotify issue?

She also posted about her bday which I think is super cute.
Quote:
I am overwhelmed by all the super-warm birthday wishes! Thank you. Funny how 35 feels kinda old when I think in Japanese but kinda young when I think about it in English.
And a slightly different message in Japanese
Quote:
誕生日に沢山の祝福ありがとうございまーーーす!35歳だ〜。しっかりしなきゃ、、、笑
Thanks for the many birthday wishes! 35 years old. I need to pull myself together...lol

So Utada went to fka Twigs' birthday party last week! I'm in shock that they know each other (or maybe they don't lol)
