[Utada Hikaru] ✿ New single! Sakura Nagashi ✿ the 47th thread - Page 16

Yeah her contract was only for 2 Albums. She was done after "This Is The One".

I hate the age 30. I was not looking forward to this day. She is a full blown adult now and it is still hard for me to accept that.

At least my favorite artist isn't some teeny bopper though and is relatively close in age to me. Could be worse. She could be old like ayumi. Utada is aging superbly.

Is it in English? I completely forgot

I downloaded the album quite some time ago. I never even unzipped the file, and it sat there for a long time. I deleted it.

Wait- missed out on a lot. Is she back from her hiatus now? Or was it just a random single she released?

Delicious n Bold · #**304** 18th January 2013, 06:59 PM

^ No
Queen Godtada has deemed is unworthy of new material.

It was a one-off digital single. The song is being used as the new Evangelion film theme; since she did the previous themes for the other films, when asked to not break her streak she created the song out of respect for the staff of Evangelion.

It's a day off. Mine is the 18th and hers is the 19th. I am disappoint.

Delicious n Bold · #**311** 19th January 2013, 01:55 AM

Aw
That's close enough lol
Wait a minute, it's your bday! Happy birthday!

Minttulatte · #**312** 19th January 2013, 11:06 AM

Happy birthday, Godtada, I hope that someday you'll bless us with another masterpiece like Sakura Nagashi. Amen. ♥

Precious is a good piece of R&B. Different from First Love by a mile but I still find some gems from the album; My Little Lover Boy, I Don't Love You, How Ya Doin' (both versions), Ticket 4 Two, Close To You and 100 Reasons Why for me. Especially I Don't Love You and Ticket 4 Two are something I love a lot.

ahtka-chan · #**313** 19th January 2013, 01:11 PM

I just wish Ticket 4 Two was a little bit faster... And I also wish Hikki would re-record some songs from Precious...

Happy birthday Hikki!

I remember listening to some of "Precious" but I can't remember which song or songs I listened to and whatever I listened to, I remember nothing of the sound.

I didn't like it though.

EDIT: By the way.

I was in college and I could be doing anything but as soon as I heard that "DING!" I knew exactly what time it was and would drop everything and run for the tv life orgasms were in it. I would cry ya'll.

I. Would. Cry.

Polyrhythm · #**315** 20th January 2013, 07:15 AM

Has it really been 3 years since January 19, 2010?

It still feels like a dream from yesterday. Happy birthday goddess. As usual, jpop continues to suffer without your holy presence.

& + H · #**316** 20th January 2013, 11:36 PM

She's 30 already wow, so cool.

Delicious n Bold · #**317** 20th January 2013, 11:51 PM

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

Not Fade Away · #**318** 21st January 2013, 03:46 AM

Holy wave of nostalgia and I totally forgot about her bday! T_T.

Ugh, I'm like crying...I miss her so much ahaha.

Zeke. · #**319** 21st January 2013, 03:51 AM

Sanctuary was so horrid. The lyrics are so awkward and she's stretching out syllables for too long.

CoriKaru · #**320** 21st January 2013, 04:11 AM

^Pfft. She stretches them out in the "Passion" too.

How she stretched the words out and changed her pitch while doing so is what drew me to the song and magnetized me in the first place.

I thought her range was like oh my gosh. And it's actually one of the few of her English songs that sound like her Japanese music. It was made as an English song first so that's something to be appreciated considering she refuses to do so normally when she creates English material. Because "Simple&Clean" doesn't exactly sound Japanese.
