[Utada Hikaru] The 40th Thread

[omably]

ahh! i love it when she does the little 'hey!' at around 3:10!

[ruixiong89]

I'm just glad she's releasing new material! Oh my goodness, it's been how long since she last released something! I like the jazz arrangement is cool, and she sounds good in the song!

[Keiichi_JPU]

OMG the bridge is amazing! hahaha. loving it!

But yeah, definitely no. I'll just consider this a bonus track, I really wanna hear the other 4 tracks!

[Picaflor 7/4]

I think she should have cut out the french. Just leave that part for the commercial, and keep the song down to 4 minutes with just the japanese part. Otherwise, it's too long. I'm glad we have this song, I doubt she'll be doing any other songs like this in a long time, and it just broadens her discography a bit with this type of music. Cool to look back and think "wow, she has a childrens song, a rock song, a jazz song she sung in french, etc." Just another different song to add to her discography.

It was like a battle between her voice and the chaotic music...and don't get me started on her French. Very disappointing; she could do Jazz so much better than this. I hope the other new tracks are better.

[JackieRos]

whats so great anout the middle part -.-
I'm waiting to be wowed and then the song ends

[CHE.R.RY]

Personally I liked the French in the song

It was fun and matched the style of the song! It was something new and different -in fact, I thought this was a fresh sound from Hikki and I found it appealing. Sure, it's not the best song she has ever released, but I thought it was pretty cool .

Well, this is a very particular style of Jazz, and it's always kind of like, chaotic with these types of vocals.

But yeah, it's not for everyone, and yes, omg her French is the most awful thing. She should have just done it all in Japanese.

I thought she was singing in spanish at one point lol

I think if she did like a lot of Jazz in her own way, it wouldn't sound like this...but you never know lol

[Andrenekoi]

There is some bossa nova on it too, isn't it?

[Rogue]

I agree with the disliking here, it's really not my genre, however I don't think she did such a bad job.
But the song definitely doesn't stand out for me, I really don't like it <.<
Her voice seems to fit almost every genre though.. *still dissappointed*

[U-GO-BOY]

I want more rock songs like Uso Mitai..

[koumori]

Uhhh..I was...surprised.
I hope the four other songs are different. And better.

[roanmy]

I wish she'd make a new song like 嘘みたいなI love you andドラマ \(^_^)/

[Polyrhythm]

[Mirrorcle Monster]

So good!!If she has success with this song we shouldn´t be afraid about the album

[Keiichi_JPU]

Empress Utada reigns again

[Polyrhythm]

Looks like that is the single cover after all

[fantaisie.sign]

Wow, so many people here don't like jazz... =/ I think it's one the most creative songs she has ever made. Making a jazz song is not easy because of all the improvisation involved, hence why it sounds "messy."

...if this was a Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts song on a Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, I bet people would be totally in love with it.

[emi♡]

^LOL Maybe. I foresee different (better) vocals for a song on that soundtrack ;P

[CoriKaru]

#1 on Japanese iTunes. Was only a matter of time. Seriously, she can create and sell anything she wants now. Love it.

She's Utada, hear her roar......in Japanese, English and French.
