Hikaru Utada “Gold ~Until the Day We Meet Again~” Music Video

This is Hikaru Utada’s 15th digital single, released in July 2023.

It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Kingdom: The Flame of Destiny.” Hikaru Utada, who performs this song, is a singer known for her beautifully subdued and composed vocal style, and I find her voice especially captivating when she sings melodies in the mid-to-low range.

In particular, this track I’m introducing here is centered around mid-to-low vocal lines, with hardly any parts that require high notes, making it one of the best choices for lower-voiced women to select for karaoke.

Throughout the entire song, focus on singing each word of the lyrics with care and precision.

Boukyaku featuring KOHHUtada Hikaru23rank/position

Hikaru Utada – Oblivion featuring KOHH ft. KOHH

From the intro, it’s a song that evokes despair.

If you listen to it when you’re struggling, it will lead you even deeper into a world of sorrow.

When people experience great sadness, they forget even their happy memories.

The past is unnecessary.

It sings of such a sorrowful life.

“There isn’t always light beyond hardship,” and right now we are in the dark.

It’s a song that stays close to those going through such difficult times.

Utada Hikaru – Can’t Wait Till Christmas (English subs + Lyrics)

When it comes to Hikaru Utada’s Christmas numbers, many people probably think of “Can’t Wait ’Til Christmas.” The song sits in an average vocal range, spanning roughly mid1 G to high C, though—as is typical for Utada—there are a few slightly lower passages.

That said, it doesn’t go too low, and the melodic movement is among the gentlest in her catalog, making it, overall, a very easy song to sing.

Deep RiverUtada Hikaru25rank/position

Hikaru Utada – Deep River

A song by singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, whose five years of human experience have notably broadened her expressive range and musicality.

It’s the title track of her third album, DEEP RIVER, and its superbly crafted oriental atmosphere is said to have been inspired by novelist Shusaku Endo’s Deep River.

With arrangements featuring the sitar and a hint of folk-music sensibility, it conjures images of traveling through foreign lands.

It’s a number that stirs a yearning for a different world from everyday life and makes you want to set off on a journey to somewhere far away.

Utada Hikaru – Movin’ on without you

This is Hikaru Utada’s second single, released in February 1999 while the shock of her debut had yet to fade.

Set to an up-tempo dance sound, the mature lyrical worldview—unbelievable for a 15-year-old—once again left the public in awe.

The lyrics depict a firm resolve to end a relationship and set out alone.

The faint sorrow that seeps through beneath that bold attitude is the part that tightens your chest.

The song was a lead single from the classic album First Love and became her first Oricon No.

1 hit.

It was also well known as a Nissan commercial song.

Its deep sound arrangement, with hints of electronica, stokes anticipation for the story.

If you listen to it when you’re struggling with how to live or what to do with your life, it might just offer you a guiding light.

Singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada made a seismic impact on the J-POP scene when her debut single suddenly sold over two million copies.

Her seventh digital-only single, “Forevermore,” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Gomen, Aishiteru.” The lyrics, which convey a powerful love for her partner, are brimming with emotion strong enough to blow away petty quarrels.

Featuring an ensemble highlighted by three-dimensional strings, it’s a heartwarming number that truly moves the soul.
