Hikaru Utada & Skrillex「Face My Fears(English Version)」(Short Ver.)/KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅲ Opening Trailer

When she made her striking debut, it was a moment when everyone sensed a breath of overseas air in a Japanese artist.

Within Hikaru Utada coexist a strong Japanese spirit and the sensibilities nurtured abroad, and that’s likely how that sound is born.

This song is the opening theme for the international version of the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III.

I’m proud that she is a Japanese artist.

It was featured as a theme song for news programs and in music commercials.

The synthesizers are beautiful, and the lyrics, written from a female perspective, portray a strong woman.

It conveys a strong impression of “I can’t lose,” making it a song that gives you a push when you feel like you’re about to be defeated and frustrated, or when you’re standing still.

Utada Hikaru Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)

“Fly Me To The Moon” is one of the signature songs of the legendary singer Frank Sinatra.

It’s also been used in commercials and as an anime theme song.

And guess what—Hikaru Utada, one of Japan’s leading singers, has covered this song.

The cover is titled “REMIX: Fly Me To The Moon.” As the name suggests, it’s remixed and starts with a techno-like vibe.

The intro may feel different from the original’s atmosphere, but as you listen, it’s unmistakably “Fly Me To The Moon.” First, give it a listen and experience the power of that voice!

As part of the FREEDOM-PROJECT, this is one of the commercials that aired between 2006 and 2008.

The animation, created with Katsuhiro Otomo—known as the author of Akira—was used, and many viewers likely paid close attention to its animation style and story.
