[Utada Hikaru] Utada's Burning it Up Like a Gay Parade in Her 31st Thread!

[Keiichi_JPU]

Those English lyrics almost made me cry, thank you.

For some reason I never looked up the translated lyrics for most of Hikki's songs. Only recently some bad things happened to me (heart break ) and I started looking up translations of Ayu's songs because they really help me, and they're amazing.

Now I'm gonna do the same for all Hikki songs I like, because I'm sure the lyrics will help me as well!

[emi♡]

^yeah, I personally never really bothered to look up translations of lyrics for anyone but ayu...

But a lot of people have talked about how hikki's lyrics are really deep and stuff as well...especially back when people used to say that no other artists had as deep lyrics as Ayu did...a lot of people would talk about hikki...but I just kinda took their word for it lol Especially since lyrics don't really matter for me when it comes to music...unless they're annoying.


Wow, FoL beat out a Mr. Children song? That's GREAT!

[Picaflor 7/4]

are you kidding me? fol? that song isn't sad at all. how bout final distance, dareka no, or be my last? bml especially I made my mom almost cry just describing the pv to her.

[Beauty4123]

i think it ranked high on the list also because of hana yori dango. once you watch that, then you could cry from the song (or at least i did )

yeah they're not covers...but they're like...her own covers of her own songs lol haha

whatever, ah okay August, I see. thanks

I'm surprised that first love is 9 i would have thought it would rank top 5

@Keiichi_JPU & emiko@

IMO, ayu lyrics are more relatable, but hikki is a better writter considering structure, word plays and stuff like that... So... to me, Ayu is amazing in the emotional aspect, and Hikki is amazing in the racional aspect

[tomiko8]

Whenever I come across ayu's lyrics it seems as though I'm reading generic "over-played" lyrics. Hikki's on the other hand seems very unique and very well put together. Same goes for Shiina Ringo, her lyrics are outstanding.

[mcluva420]

imo, First Love is sadder than FoL..

I think the reason why hikki's lyrics are so poetic/unique is that shes a total bookworm and a lover of literature..very beneficial to lyric writing~

To me it's kind of strange that Deep River isn't in that top ten :s
It made me cry two times when I watched the PV and read the translated lyrics under it ^^;

Be My Last is also very emotional, such as COLORS and Dareka No Negai Ga Kanau Koro, and I wonder where those songs fit in that top 100.
Flavor of Life is a beautiful song, but I dislike the ballad somehow. The catchy, original version touches me more than the ballad one, sorry to say, but to me it sounds likes she's lingering it out.

EDIT; used the seach function and apparently there isn't any other Utada song in the rest of that top 100. Bugger.


Hmm, seven more days until the - suspected - release of the new single (and yes, I'm convinced, too, that it is a new single since she said latest times she was working on a new japanese album)
I guess a couple more days until a leak comes out then?
I sure do hope so, though ^^;

Wonder what it'll be like.

[Hachimitsu]

I want to hear a preview for the new Evangelion song. It's time for a new release Hikki! Even so, I think she needs to release another single for TITO soon.

Oh, and I just got my copy of TITO! (yeah, I'm late, but it's not in stores here. Actually, I won it at the Jpopstop giveaway xD) It's a shame there are no lyrics in the booklet, but I like the pictures.

^grats

[pommy48]

FOL still makes me cry XD all because of hyd XD

[JackieRos]

Yah First Love is sadder she wrote very nice lyrics and she was only 16

"You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka darekato mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashi uta utaeru made"

I always cry when I hear those lyrics

[cosmeticmusic]

First Love is pretty sad as far as song standards go. FoL does have a depressing tone, and the lyrics are hopeful, but still kind of sad.

[ayuayu798]

I wish be my last made the list... That pv always makes me cry!

[CoriKaru]

Songs just never make me cry. If anything were to make me cry it would be the wait in between the actual songs.

I do appreciate Utada's Japanese lyrical ability though. The fact that she writes her own music in her own unique way and the fact that it's not all just bubble gum trash and generic gives her all the more credibility and legitimacy and separates her from the pack. Knowing how to play with words and which ones sound and flow good together is an added bonus.

[AyUta]

Yeah, there are much sadder songs of Hikki's but FOL was the top of the list because of HYD .

The most people like the song, the most votes it gets
I'm not surprised 2 of her major hits made it into the pool
