i just got off the plane~ and i believe HS is the perfect album for planes~ i watched the sun rise during Take 5~ just made me feel all happy~

LOL... i experienced the same way toooooo... when we're about to take off.
awwwww... its soooooo great!

I guess she's beginning to get over her boyish-looking phase? Is she doing anything new with her music?

ooooh that must've been beautiful ;__; I always feel so.. strange when I listen Take 5. It's such a beautiful song, one of my favorites ever.

The other day, I was listening Heart Station (the song) on the bus with my big white headphones on xD perfect song lol

YES, I agree with this, I listened to HS on my trip from Vegas and it was perfect for the flight! :heart

lol, and i thought i was the only one~really oricon should take a poll on this~ they take polls on other random things~
listening to Beautiful World before loading...got me happy to get on board~ and lol..listening to Boku wa Kuma...i really thought i saw a bear shaped cloud @_@

hmm will she have a concerts? does she usually do concerts? i only remember Utada United 2006..it's 2008 already!

^ Well she said she wanted to have a HEART STATION tour, but she doesn't know when that will happen. She also wants to have a worldwide tour as well, which I hope she does have because then she'll come here to the HP Pavillion in Cali. It's a big Pavillion after all, lots of famous people come here to perform.

Sickly? She looks great! :headache

!!! I really really really really really really hope she comes to Australia!!! America is so lucky to have her!!! I hope she comes to Australia one day, until then I can only dream!

But yeah, I totally agree with all your comments, she looks so pretty in her photos!!~ I want her long black hair back! Her hair during the whole Deep River era was <3!!~

BTW!!! This thread has progressed so quickly! Her last thread lasted quite a while compared to this one!

She also did Bohemian Summer and Hikaru no 5 (Utada Hikaru in Budokan). I haven't seen Hikaru in Budokan yet, but Bohemian summer is a huuuge tour just like Utada United!

And indeed, she said she wanted to do a Heart Station tour, but first focus on her English album (if I recall well)

It's Hikki's best album imo :yes I skip some songs in that album too, because Kairo and nichiyo no asa sucks imo, and ONE NIGHT MAGIC is :puke but the good songs are so ****ing good that I don't care for the fillers: making love, WINGS, This Is Love, passion, Be My Last, Keep Tryin', COLORS, dareka no... :heart. HEART STATION has the crappiest Hikki song imo: Stay Gold...bland and boring, had great potential but the potential was not used and the album tracks -with the exception of TEIKU5 and Nijiro no BASU- are really not very great...I still love HS a lot though :yes

BEST HIKKI SONGS EVER:

Making Love :heart :heart :heart
Play Ball :heart :heart :heart
HEART STATION

:yes

They are probably the best JPOP songs imo too. Play Ball and Making Love are probably the first songs I can listen to them 1,000,000 times and they never ever grow flat or old. It's incredible :eek Funny enough, when I first listened to both of those songs, I thought they were boring/annoying, and I sincerely couldn't understand how someone could enjoy those 'boring crap" and even list as their favorite. I thought it was impossible to love those songs like that...but they slowly grew on me, like a curse, and I had to eat back all my previous negative criticisms about them ahaha They're so terribly addictive.

^"Making Love" is my favorite song ever, no exaggerations :heart

omg I love Making Love as well , IB although the sound transition to the next song's not really there but still heck it :laugh

Making Love <3 One Night Magic is sweet too, especially Yamada's voice =)

Sakura Drops was the first song i heard from her, and i remember i was affected by her powerful voice and decided to download other albums too XD
Deep River is my fav album because i think it's very powerful when comes to music and lyrics, but oh well, i might be wrong...

Ultra Blue is my second fav album, but i usually skip some songs: WINGS, kairo, Dareka no Negai ga Kanaukoro (even though they're nice songs, but i can't listen to them often:/)

and Heart Station is just lame, because it has some beautiful songs as Prisoner of Love, Heart Station, Flavor of Life, Beatiful World and crap as Boku wa kuma, Take 5, Nijiiro Bus, Kiss&Cry

I don't know what to say about Distance and First Love cuz i dislike almost all songs from them.

I really like play ball and Making Love!!
Those songs are awesome!!!

HEART STATION I liked at first but I don't really listen to this song now because it sounds generic so I got bored of it.

Off UB Passion is my favorite (and my most favorite song of hikki ever) and from HS it will be Beautiful World :love

for some weird reason....i can't get into passion, i prefer COLORS and This is Love from UB
i love all the songs from HS :love, ah~...i'm such a newbie to hikki before UB, so what other albums are good?

^ Deep River's Utada's most critically acclaimed album to date you probably should try that

Distance's also apparently good as well

& like yourself , I probably should try her 1st 3 albums too since I haven't heard them yet :dead2

I know shame on me -_-

from First Love i like only Automatic, First Love and Time Will Tell
Distance: Wait&See, Can You Keep a Secret, Distance, Kettobase!, For You and Addicted to you.

other songs are too boring.
