Whahaha...i was so bored 2 nights ago i went to youtube for hikki(that's utada hikaru for non-fans) vids...lol
first off, Automatic(Live Performance)...the song that catapulted her to stardom(in japan at least i think..First Love launched her elsewhere)
then..the song i mentioned before..First Love [Live Version]~!
imho,the live version kicked ass..
and here are some other songs which i think are awesome :
Addicted To You
Letters
Colors[this is a theme song for a game..i think FF X-2?]
Hikari[there's an english version called Simple & Clean which was for Kingdom Hearts]
Sakura Drops
Deep River
Final Distance
Final Distance(Live) [as usual..the live version kicks ass]
extra : in that Final Distance live performance...utada mentions that its her first time performing it in front of an audience. and at the same time i heard about the story behind the song. apparently the song was first called Distance and was about to be released when some dude went nuts and killed some kids in a school. one of the kids was a girl who wrote(somewhere or to someone,cant remember lol) that utada hikaru was her inspiration and she wanted to be like her(or something along those lines XD). hikki heard of this kid's(Reina) death and rewrote the song to Final Distance in her honor. emotional song it is =/
yep yep..i admit..im a hikki fan..even tho i dont understand 95% of what she sings LOL. her voice rocks and the beats are nice...now be glad i didnt stream all the videos on my blog lol...unless its what u prefer =P
let me know tho and i can get them turned into streams wahahaha
