[Utada Hikaru] The Storm Goddess says Goodbye to Happiness in her 41st thread

[CoriKaru]

Best song I've heard all year. Possibly best of 2010 so far until her other ones are released.

I played "Goodbye Happiness" for my deaf,blind,mute and paralyzed all over aunt and she nodded her head in approval, said, "This will do," got up, turned around and went and did some laundry.

I was a mess! Tears everywhere. Shaking&Crying. Someone in my family likes my music.

um I feel weird that I'm like the only one not going totally crazy over Hikki's new song. It's a good song...but it's not like "OMFG THIS IS SO EPIC" amazing. It's a pretty straightforward, average hikki song lol

And I dont think the composition is one of her best. But I like it lol I mean, it's not a bad song at all, and it's still above average for most artists lol

[bluegie]

Don't worry, probly you'll love it so much in the end.

And objectively speaking, I agree that this is not one of her best. Yet it's still close to be one of her best (lol dunno what I'm saying), and I'll been craving for a real jpn song from hikki for 2.5 yrs.

I agree with this. It's a good song but probably not the best.

Maybe lol The preview is so short too...I mean what it's actually giving you.

I'm a little sad to see her electronic ambient heart station edge go...but thats alright. I still love her blend of instruments/effects, and I wish some other artists would take some pages out of that book lol

[koumori]

I like the new song alot It got into my head straightaway~ I'm happy with the two songs that have leaked so far...looks like this is a great release

I'm satsified with this anyway. ^o^ As a fan, I'm glad she's releasing any new music at all before such a long hiatus.

I can't really tell the exact instrumentation from the not-so-clear clip, but so far it still has a hint of the sync instru in the arrangement. I also feel a bit of teenage hikki's energy spirit in the song (probly it's just an illusion..). Personally I'm sad if she dumps the sync arrangement in her new songs. Usually hikki changes the style of instruments, like First Love and Distance are pretty much the same R&B style, while DEEP RIVER stands alone with the vibrant arrangements. UB and HS both have similar sync style. So actually it's time for her to head to the new direction. Not that I think she must, but I dun think she'll stay on the same style for too long.

well, heart station to me is a little more on the "extreme" side...with the main instruments in the arrangements being electronic.

Ultra Blue was similar, but I dont think it was as much. Maybe Passion, and the sea song song lol forgot the japanese name.

So like...I didnt really expect her to keep the heart station thing...but I wouldn't have minded, cause I do love it...though I suppose it could get tiring...

I think from this, I hear...the main keys, the beat track, a few synth effects tracks...the extra percussions track...which is like, similar to her last albums...but it's done differently isnt it...it's interesting.

I do like the feel of the song. She's so...interesting lol The way she decides to do stuff. That's the difference between being a genius and making your own music, and being a genius but having other people do it, and picking and choosing.

who the heck is yui?

[tenshi no hane]

I felt kinda disappointed when I listened it to the first time, but now that I've listened to it some more times, it's really growing on me ^_^

I didn't think a song called Goodbye Happiness would sound so happy though XD

[GRACE]

Goodbye Happiness is the first Hikki song I've really liked in a LONG time, good going Hikki

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Once, just ONCE, I wish Hikki would do a hot PV with cool dancing with Namie or BoA...lol

[hayasaki]

Is it just me, who feels that the melody sounds sad? It's like Beautiful world -episode II-

[ALPHY]

Mmm, the melody is quite bittersweet.

But then again, would that fit the song? Would it fit her?

I know it sounds fierce and all, and I kinda want it too, but if she really actually did it.. wouldn't it be so awkward? I dunno. she's just our silly Hikki, not a fierce dance goddess.

She's more of a peaceful goddess.. a Storm Goddess

I thought that too...but who knows, with the right song it could work. haha
