Utada Hikaru "Final Distance"



Okay, this song makes me sad, the video makes me cry. Most people would avoid it then, like the plague. But it's strangely a beautiful song. Only from what I've been told, one of Hikki's fans won an essay competition in school in which she wrote about how she admired Utada and how she wanted to be just like her some day. Just before the release of Utada's song "Distance" the young girl was killed in a shooting in her school (RIP). So Utada changed the lyrics and also the song title to "Final Distance" and dedicated the song to her. If you haven't heard it, I would definetly recommend it, it's another one of my Hikki favs! Plus the video is awe-inspiring!

Utada Hikaru - "Flavor of Life [Ballad]"



Hikki-chan is now one of my favorite artists. I can't remember how I found out about her, but the first song I heard was "Passion" which I still adore. But this is slowly climbing to the top of my "Most-played" list. Brilliant song. I much prefer the Ballad version to the original.
