[Utada Hikaru] Coming Back to the 23rd Thread♥

[Kaiouforever]

^Especially when her English album releases, I think HS will probably have a small increase in sales.

[jbrat2219]

^ yeah because people will appreciate HEART STATION that much more xD; lmao lmao j/k

I'm sure her English album will be just as good, if not better

[Keiichi_JPU]

^ you see Come Back To Me as an indicator that the English album will be better then HEART STATION?

Or is it pure hope that makes you think that xD

for me, it's hope. Since CBTM is anything but original. Sure it's a catchy, fun song but it's nowhere near HEART STATION's greatness. So I just hope the rest of the album will be better!

[kawaii otaku]

see i think Come Back To Me totally owns almost every track on HEART STATION.

I thought almsot every track on the album was really really bland, a huge step down from ULTRA BLUE imho.

i mean, there were some greats like Beautiful World and Take 5, but really those were the only songs i'd call 'great'. Songs like 'Celebrate', 'Flavor of Life', 'Boku wa Kuma', 'Nijiiro Basu' ... all really second rate. i think it'ss some of her worst material ever ..

i'm not trying to bash the album or anything (i know i am bashing the album, but it's not my purpose). Like, i don't know. I just think it's so bad.

What i'm saying is that i think it'd be hard to be worse than HEART STATION in my opinion.

I love Hikki, but i hate that album.

I was thinking optimistically. With the purest of hope ^^; And also didn't want to get flamed for insinuating that I think the album would SUCK with tracks like Come Back To Me

[kang daesung]

There is nothing that I dislike on HEART STATION besides "Celebrate". That song bores me so much!

[jbrat2219]

That's weird since it's called Celebrate...

[kawaii otaku]

yeah but kang daesung is certainly right ...

[amorphose]

Come Back To Me is certainly better than most of HEART STATION, I think. Nothing on HEART STATION was bad, but it was all so boring and light compared to her other music! The only tracks I loved on HEART STATION were Prisoner Of Love and Niji-iro BASU.

I don't get why everyone makes a fuss over Take 5...

Celebrate is like the second best track on Heart Station ok. It like defines Hikki wanting to be sexy. Luv it so much. Don't call Celebrate boring. Call Fight The Blues boring ok. It's like Kuma wrote that song after Hikki refused to cuddle him. </3

[Everbody_GO!]

For me.... Heart Station's elements are sooooooooooooooo much far from Come Back to Me's. I mean, "Come Back to Me" is really set for the western listeners... I'm not actually bored by HS,... i only dislike Boku wa Kuma though.XD

I think every track on EXODUS shows a sexier Hikki than "Celebrate" does. XD Celebrate makes me picture short-hair HEART STATION Hikki alone in a corner at her own party. It's so sad. That song had so much potential but it came out so flat to me.

It could've been like traveling part 2!

don't worry, you said exactly what a lot of people were thinking lol


I love Celebrate...I think it's super underrated, but I can see how someone wouldn't like it...that stupid rap-like part of the verses annoyed me for the longest time, but the rest of the elements, especially the really subtle ones, really make up for it.

but it's definitely not as sexy hikki as Exodus.


The disparity in loved tracks in this thread is just all over the place! It's interesting.

It's just interesting to me, that she has attracted all these different people who totally have different styles of music. And then it feels like...it gets cut, from people who like her more R&B style, to the people who like everything beginning with ULTRA BLUE...to those of us who love almost everything.

[Melon Panda]

I actually felt HEART STATION was very polished and flowed very well. To be honest, when I first heard the singles, I was bored and very much not impressed. I'd all but given up on the album when I decided to give it one listen, from start to finish, and I'm glad I did. I think the album works better collectively than in pieces. I suppose you could call it rather...relaxed music?

Awww I like Fight The Blues, it's probably the only Utada Hikaru song I know by heart! I'll admit, I thought it was a stupid song at first but now I've grown to love it.

I'll have to check out this song Celebrate, I never really paid too much attention to it lol

[Beauty4123]

fight the blues, POL, take 5, and celebrate are my favorite HS tracks

[Evolution7/4]

SOUNDS GREAT! i love Exodus soo...

Those are the best parts of the song. Made the song for me.

same here! I love those parts lol.

And Take 5 is a masterpiece. period xD

[emi♡]

they really annoyed me in the beginning. Now I don't mind so much.

My thoughts on this song are complicated. I feel like the song is so simple...and that's why its great, but it seems like there are so many things going on LoL Now I just try to appreciate it as a whole. The chorus is actually my favorite part though...that and like the last whole minute or so of the song. I love how hikki ends songs.

And Take 5 is just on a whole different plane of music existence.
