[Utada Hikaru] ☆ Utada Hikaru: The 46th Thread ☆

[jean-baptiste]

^I was just about to say that. She might juts completely surprise us and do something crazy/out of the ordinary but it'll be awesome.

And I actually think Apple & Cinnamon was a really nice ballad.

Who gave this thread two stars? #hatersgon'hate

[CoriKaru]

^I just gave it a 5 star rating and bumped the overall rating to 3. Let's work on this people.

[Minttulatte]

I also gave 5 stars to this thread. It's so disturbing to see this thread as a 3 star thread when it's usually always 5... -.-

It's also pretty cool that these Hikki threads stay alive even while she's on hiatus. I was scared that these will die in 4 months after that but no. This is so awesome. Seriously.

[koumori]

I added my rating too - I think this thread deserves it for still staying alive! I thought when I made the last one, it'd be long dead by now.

I really miss listening to Hikki's music, but I lost my music collection lately and it makes me sad. I'm having to youtube all her different songs..but I'm watching her PV's, most for the first time. Travelling is so cute!

[Minttulatte]

Traveling PV has always been one of my favorite Hikki PVs. It's so colorful and funny to watch. Awesome~

[bluegie]

kiriya trilogy is always my fav (even in the JPop mv universe). I love the concept and the arts are beautiful. I wish hikki will work with him again in the future...

[Delicious n Bold]

I gave this thread a 5/5.
I kinda wanna listen to Hikki's English stuff, but I'm indifferent.

[Minttulatte]

^You should listen. Hikki's English releases are great too. At least I really adore both albums (Exodus and This Is The One) so much.

funy i just watched that pv and thought the same thing.

BUT the reason these threads stay alive is because nobody compares. im a little biased.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I miss her releasing new music. :/

[Delicious n Bold]

Am I the only one who likes sanctuary more than passion?
It's just because of that bridge... thats a hot breakdown.
And in the closing version, we get some piano

[Polyrhythm]

^Yes.

I prefer the version she sang when I saw her in LA. All the great parts of Passion + the decent sections of Sanctuary.

[emi♡]

I like the japanese version of sanctuary better. I cant stand the english versions.

I mean, the japanese opening...not original passion. It has the break and stuff.

But the original Passion is my favorite song ever.

Wait wait wait
How many versions of Passion/Sanctuary are there?
I know of 3:
1. 'Passion' on Ultra Blue/Singles collection
2. 'Sanctuary (Opening)' on This is the one /KH
3. 'Sanctuary (Closing)' on This is the one/KH

Did they use the Japanese version of passion for KH and include that breakdown thingy that's in the USA version?

Yeah, Passion was used in KH and it has that breakdown thing in the middle. Sanctuary has more of that backward sound thing though.

There are also:
-> Passion ~after the battle~ from Passion single/Kingdom Hearts II OST
-> Passion - KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version from Kingdom Hearts II OST

After the Americans won 2-1 over Japan in Olympic women's soccer gold medal match, here's what Utada said, and this might be in favor of us in Seattle:

US beat JPN 2-1, it was a good game. Congrats to the US women's football team for another Gold! (Hope Solo was HOT...)

The Japanese version of KH uses all the japanese versions I think.

Passion -opening version- is in Japanese, but it has the breakdown that's in english.

and yep~ what Luna said. Sanctuary (closing) should be Passion ~after the battle~ in english.

[bluegie]

Some fans did merge the single version with the KH version of Passion. The single version had the final part, while KH version had the breakdown but no final part. So the merged version sounds the best in reality .
