Hikaru Utada
Alvy:
I hope you’ve all noticed the makeover we’ve done in “On Our Way,” in which, in my opinion, is so much prettier.
Well, now lets get back to the title of this post. Hikaru Utada is my favorite JPop singer, and one of my favorite singers. I wanted to introduce her to you guys if you never heard about her.
Hikaru Utada (Or Utada Hikaru as she is also known) was raised in the United States, but she has Japanese decendense, therefore, she knows japanese and English. She first made a band with her parents, and it was named U3 (Utada 3) and later on, she named the band Cubic U. She started her career being named in Europe and the US as Cubic U, and in Japan as Hikaru Utada (Her real name) and of course, after many singles, she started to win fame and all, and even beat the record in Japan of most albums sold, she sold 6 million copies of “First Love” (Her first album) in which by the way, it’s weird, because Christina Aguilera sold like 25 million copies of her 4th album, “Back To Basics.”
After some time, Hikaru became the best known JPop singer, and I introduced her to Sofy and now, even though we don’t understand anything she says in most of her songs, we just love her voice and the rhythm of the songs. The only album that we actually understand is “Exodus” because it’s in english, (Ms. Coggio probably remembers when I asked her what “Exodus” meant) and it’s one of the best albums I ever heard. I recommend Hikaru Utada’s album if you want a stunning vocalist with awesome beats in the same song.
