Included on Hikaru Utada’s first album, First Love, released on March 10, 1999.

This is the English version of “Hikari.” It’s incredibly cool how the song soars from low notes to very high ones.

Utada’s voice is so soothing, and I think she’s the one who really made R&B sell big in Japan.

I was shocked at the time to realize an artist like her existed.

It feels truly refreshing when you belt this song out.

It’s a really beautiful track.

This is a track where you can fully enjoy Hikaru Utada’s dance music.

Included on the album “Hatsukoi,” released in June 2018, it’s a rhythmic song influenced by trap music.

The lyrics depict the lull in marriages or relationships and the avoidance of physical closeness, delicately expressing changes in the relationship and emotional distance.

Its appeal also lies in the interplay of distinctive rhythms and melodies, showcasing a new challenge for Utada.

Rhythmic and dance-friendly, the track is used by many dancers.

If you’re looking for a song to choreograph in your own style, this one is highly recommended.

Hikaru Utada – Wait & See (Risk)

This is another nostalgic song for me.

It was used in an old TV drama that I used to watch often with my mother.

Even so, it might be a song that doesn’t feel dated and still holds up today.

If you listen to it once, you’ll surely feel how good it is.

The lyrics liken actions taken to win over someone you’re drawn to to baseball plays.

It’s a mid-tempo track that conveys a sharp, predator-like intensity, like a tiger stalking its prey.

A song said to have been written for her mother.

It’s included on the 2010 album “Utada Hikaru SINGLE COLLECTION VOL.2.” Hikaru Utada grew up in a complicated family, and her mother struggled with mental illness.

Her mother was Keiko Fuji, a celebrated Showa-era singer who passed away in 2013 at the age of 62.

This masterpiece is filled with many feelings—her admiration for her mother as a singer, as well as love, forgiveness, and more.

She is a female singer-songwriter, musician, and music producer born in the United States.

I feel a very mature vibe that is characteristic of Hikaru Utada.

She embraces failure as an experience, and I thought that was really cool.
