Hikaru Utada’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce some songs by Hikaru Utada, a singer-songwriter who made her debut at the young age of 15.
She abruptly announced a hiatus from artistic activities in 2010, calling it a period of “human activities,” but resumed her work as an artist in 2016.
Utada is the daughter of enka singer Keiko Fuji and was born and raised in the United States.
On television she comes across as lighthearted and humorous, but while attending school in the U.S.
she reportedly skipped grades, and later enrolled at the prestigious Columbia University.

Hikaru Utada’s Iconic and Popular Songs (71–80)
Fist LoveUtada Hikaru
This piece is known as the title track from Hikaru Utada’s debut album.
It’s an R&B-flavored ballad whose poignant lyrics and beautiful melody resonate deeply.
The lyrics delicately portray memories of first love and the pain of parting, striking a chord with many listeners.
It was included on the album First Love, released in March 1999, and was issued as a single in April of the same year.
The song also gained attention as the theme for the TBS drama Majo no Joken (Maki’s Condition/Forbidden Love).
It remains a popular choice for reel video BGM and is a highly recommended track.
Fly Me To The MoonUtada Hikaru
“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!
For You/Time LimitUtada Hikaru
Among female artists, Hikaru Utada stood out as a top presence.
The explosive success of her debut album elevated her above other artists.
This song reached No.
18 on the singles chart and sold 880,000 copies.
Gold ~Until We Meet Again~Utada Hikaru
“Gold ~Mata Au Hi Made~,” the 15th digital single written as the theme song for the film Kingdom: Unmei no Honoo (Fate’s Flames).
In addition to its richly layered sound that enhances the movie, the music video—Utada Hikaru’s first to be shot on location in city streets within Japan—also drew attention.
The overall key is low and the vocal range is narrow, making it relatively easy to sing; however, the arrangement changes between the first and second halves, so be careful not to lose the rhythm.
There aren’t any large interval jumps, but the finely rising and falling melody can be tricky to follow, so be sure to learn it well before tackling it at karaoke.
One Last KissUtada Hikaru
The digitally released single “One Last Kiss,” which was selected as the theme song for the animated film Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, drew attention alongside the movie’s success and is also known as a hit number that has surpassed 100 million streams.
While the continuous falsetto high notes make pitch control and breathing challenging, the overall vocal range isn’t wide, so it should be relatively easy to sing at karaoke.
Because the melody moves quickly, be careful not to fall behind the rhythm as you sing.
PINK BLOODUtada Hikaru
This is a digital-only single by Hikaru Utada, released on June 2, 2021.
It was selected as the opening theme for the NHK E-TV anime “To Your Eternity.” Apparently, this is the first time Utada has handled a theme song for an anime.
Genre-wise, it falls under what’s called “alternative R&B,” featuring a distinctly floating, jazzy melody and a sinking, immersive beat that make for a very striking track.
When I first listened to it, my impression was, “It’s quite difficult to grasp the rhythm—or rather, the beat—of this song.” Utada’s vocal ability and her soft, gentle expressiveness in the high register are well-known, and they’re on full display here.
However, I think the most important thing when singing this song is first to firmly understand the rhythm of the backing track (karaoke) and lock into the beat before singing.
It’s a pretty high-bar choice for karaoke, but I’d love to see women who are confident in their singing give it a try.
I’m crazy about youUtada Hikaru
Kimi ni Muchuu,” the 14th digital-only single chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Saiai.” The contrast between the club music-inspired beat and the featured piano creates a unique, airy atmosphere.
While the melody may feel challenging because it moves between low and high registers, it’s easy to learn and sing since there aren’t any large interval jumps.
However, a complex and fast phrase appears toward the end, so be sure to stay focused and sing through to the very last note.
