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.

From the moment you hear the intro melody, you get the sense that something bad might be about to happen—a song that expresses the narrator’s wish not to lose someone precious.

Utada’s still-innocent, girlish high notes suit the bittersweet mood perfectly in this slow-tempo, sad love song.

This is the theme song for the Suntory Minami Alps Sparkling commercial.

The footage of her in the snowy mountains, in which she also appears, makes your heart skip a beat as her innocent demeanor and message synchronize with the world of the song.

Both the grown-up version of her and the traces of her childlike charm are reflected in the track.

It was the B-side of their debut single released on December 9, 1998, and was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Gokigenyō.” It’s amazing to think the lyrics were written at age 15 when it first came out, and they still encourage me to this day!

This song, too, richly expresses a haunting longing for time itself, making it a work truly worthy of being described as romantically transcendent.
