Passion is a really good song; I think it goes well with the opening movie to KH2. It might take a little while to get used to because it sounds a bit different from most of her other songs, but I like it a lot! The English version is also really good.

But... Simple and Clean is still my favorite! ^_^

Simple and Clean will defiently stay a favourite, i prefer I Love You over Passion, just my opinion, but the English Version kicks ***, gotta see the actual Video for KH2 Opening, if anyone can show me ^^, i made a Kouda / Koda Kumi Fan Club ^_~

Here's the English opening for Kingdom Hearts II, which plays "Sanctuary"... http://youtube.com/watch?v=RNAwNhlcYN4 It's awesome! You probably won't understand it if you haven't played the first two games, but it's still worth watching just because of the breath-taking graphics. That video really doesn't even do it much justice--You should see what it's like when you play the PS2 game, with very high quality! <3

Anyway, I'll also listen to that song that you're talking about, Angela. =D

Where's the Utada Hikaru talk? She does do more than just KH stuff ;_;

Well, Utada Hikaru did go to university in America and she's raised in both Japan and USA (thus why she's perfectly bilingual.) She did try to enter the USA market with the Exodus CD, but in my opinion, "Simple and Clean" is probably the only exception to her inferior creation of english songs... (Sanctuary may burn in comparison to Passion.)

Somehow, her english songs just doesn't click even half as well as her japanese miracles... "Color" and "Deep River" is just beyond lovable.

True, but you know that Kingdom Hearts rules. XP

I've never really had a chance to hear any of her English songs, with the exception of the ones in the KH games, so I couldn't really judge them fairly. I've heard a lot of her Japanese songs, but Simple and Clean has remained my ultimate favorite... I like it more than Hikari, although a lot of people seem to disagree that it's better. I don't know what it is about it; it might just be the fact that it's in English, and I'm happy to be able to understand it, but I still think it sounds better! ^_^

A lot of people don't seem to like Sanctuary, but after hearing it several times, I've gotten used to it and now I love it as much as Passion. Colors is also a really pretty song! <3

I AM JOINING!!!! Utada is my fave artist!! She is so so oso so so good!

I love 'Hikari' (Japanese Simple and clean) so much I taught myself to sing it. In Japanese. It always blows my Japanese freinds away that I can sing it in perfect English.

Can anyone tell me, where can I download 'Sancturary' or can anyone email me a copy?

I drew this pic and it is thus copyright to me. Please ask me if you want to use it.

I am searching desperatly for Hikari: Original Karaoke by Utada Hikaru. Can anyone help? If so, please PM me!

That is weird. I thought that I have almost all the Utada Hikaru songs by now but I don't have Sunglasses. Are you sure that this is by her Angela? I checked Cherryblossom Garden and they didn't have Sunglasses listed in the index of songs made by Utada Hikaru. I checked Wikipedia and they didn't talked of a song called Sunglasses either... which album is it from or which one did I miss?

I liked Simple and Clean more than Hikari as well. The lyrics just didn't make the most sense in Hikari. What is she talking about with the TV?

I agree that her japanese songs are better than her english songs as a whole. It sounds better when she is singing in japanese to me for some odd reasons.

Sanctuary repeats the same verse too much for my liking. I think it repeats three times, which is a lot. Also, the line "You show me how to see, That nothing is whole and nothing is broken" bugs me beyond what I can bear to like Sanctuary. It is awkward because usually I love meaningful lyrics. This line packs more meaning than almost the entire song put together, yet it sounds so awful for some reason.

I think that I'll stick to Passion.

Colors is an awesome song. I love it to death (or maybe I like it because it's Utada Hikaru, it's sad and it calms me down a lot when I feel frustrated.)

Sunglasses is on her Distance CD. It is a song that she has not released as a single. 4th track on that CD.

Some sites call it Sunglasses while others call it Sunglass.
There are also people calling this song SANGURASU

Edit: According to one of my LJ friends SANGURASU means Sunglass and was mistekenly translated as Sunglasses.

Okay I have a question. Some one lent me a CD (Burned) with a bunch of her music a while ago. There was a song on there called 'Take on Me' it was a recording of Utada Live at a Concert. But I cant seem to locate the song at all, I wanted to listen to the non-live version so that it wasnt so blurry, but I cant even find a trace of it existing!? Did my freind make an error and put some one elses song on the CD under Utada's name? DID she ever make a song called take on me?

I may sound stupid asking, but they only ever released her first single over here, and thats it, I have to rely on others and the internet to hear the rest -_-

I'm pretty sure that it is Sunglasses and not Sunglass. The lyrics doesn't make sense if we plug in sunglass instead of sunglasses. If she's hiding her tears behind sunglass/sunglasses, then a pair of sunglasses that we wear will make more sense, hm?

Edit: Does anyone have the music video to Tokyo Night? I tried to look for it on google and I can't find it at all. Can someone help me?

Just how many games and animes have used her songs?
Not too much that's official. Most of the time it's just the KH series that made Utada Hikaru well known to people here, then everyone starts making those videos using her songs. Just look at youtube, and see how fan-made vidoes of utada hikaru songs completely dominate the result of a utada hikaru search there.
