[Utada Hikaru] The 50th Thread of Utada Hikaru - First Love -15th Anniversary Edition- released 2014

[Maemi]

Just some of the covers of Automatic

[orangeakira]

It'd be hilarious if the cover album was nothing but covers of Automatic.

[Maemi]

^No, it wouldn't xD

[mi|kshake]

It'd certainly be better than an album full of covers of First Love! I'm hoping for a Sakura Drops cover myself!

Me too, I don't know if there is a cover of it though

[DeepRiver]

WHAT...? First Love is amazing! I am hoping for Colors, Sakura Drops, Passion, Sunglasses, Time will Tell ... But i really think No one can Do it better than her ...

[thinkingoutloud89]

I guess we will get:

Automatic
First Love
Moving on without you
traveling
Hikari
Flavor of Life
Beautiful World
Final Distance


other guesses include:
Passion
Goodbye Happiness
Sakura Drops
Kettobase!!
Tokyo Nights
COLORS

[Delicious n Bold]

A bit far off but I'd kill for a cover of Nijiiro bus

[orangeakira]

There isn't even a single doubt in my mind that it will be anything other than the songs off of SCV1. First Love, Automatic, time will tell, hikari, sakura drops, moving on without you, can you keep a secret, etc. etc.

[tsumekaze_]

seems exciting! looking forward to it~

Going through her dvds, I was wondering which songs she hasn't performed live. So I decided to make a list. I only counted concerts (and mtv unplugged) so no music lovers, or 20 live streaming, or tv performances, or ima no watashi or any of that.

Sunglass
Drama
Eternally
Kotobani Naranai Kimochi
Play Ball
Tokyo Nights
A.S.A.P.
Nichiyou No Asa
Making Love
One Night Magic
Kairo
Wings
Fight The Blues
Heart Station
Flavor of Life
Kiss & Cry
Celebrate
Arashi no Megami
Sakura Nagashi

I think this alone would make a pretty awesome concert. I'm amazed she has so many unperformed songs considering she only has 5 japanese studio albums. I would love to see her perform the remix of Hayatochiri. Considering she performed the John Luongo remix of First Love, and the Up-In-Heaven mix of Addicted to you. I'm sure it could happen.

It still surprises me that she hasn't yet performed "Making Love."

I would love to see her in a more intimate setting, like in unplugged, and just perform her more jazz and rnb flavored songs like "Sunglasses", "Play Ball", "In My Room", "Wings", etc... Especially "Sunglasses"... Such a good song. Ugh.

[ahtka-chan]

^Well, the UP-IN-HEAVEN version of ATY is the standard version of the song, so I don't think it counts as a remix haha

I'd kill for Sunglasses, Tokyo Nights and A.S.A.P. live!

[orangeakira]

^I know of at least 2 covers of Sakura Drops. The first is by sister kaya, and I can't remember the second one, but it was by a girl who had a really treacly/etheral voice. I can't remember their name though.

The owner of the utada forums "hikaru.sc", k3-光, owned a website that actually had a list of every artist who ever covered an utada song, whether it be a concert song, tv performance, or studio version. they also had links to songs and videos of each. I wish I could find it.



Also is everyone forgetting (or not know) that Boys II Men covered First Love?

You can use archive.org

Thanks for the info, I had no idea!

it's perfect ... can't find it without subtitles in better quality! Sorry

[orangeakira]

^Yeah I didn't count that towards live performances because it's just the rehearsal scene from her "hikaru no 5" concert. If she actually performed it in the set list at the concert I'd count it as a live performance.

[Zeke.]

I think it's cause she drags vowels out at times and objects air into them, giving them a breathy quality.
