My my, time flies... HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIKKI

~Dan~ · « **Reply #621 on:** January 21, 2011, 04:11:32 AM »

Wow, time does fly. I remember watching "Live Streaming" live on dialup (I think it was before 6pm UK time [after 6pm is cheap rate] so I had to pay extra for the call, lol!), 8 years ago, wow, doesn't seem that long. Thanks for uploading the subbed version thatonezombie!
EDIT: Didn't need to download it after all. I was checking my cd's before downloading and it turns out I have it already.

Happy (belated) Birthday Hikki!

found this at a Hong Kong Discuss forum (thx ~taddy~) the whole concert in separate tracks...CANT STOP LISTENING!!!!

「WILD LIFE」 Live @ Yokohama Arena 2010.12.08 (mp3 format)

DOWNLOAD

lol check this: A producer under the pseudonym "Kuroūroncha" created a synthesized version of Utada's voice and uploaded a cover of "Kokoro" (a song made famous by the Vocaloid virtual idol singer Kagamine Rin) on Monday.: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13390409

Hikki even tweeted about it: http://twitter.com/utadahikaru/status/29350771824787457

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day I spent the whole day playing Furai No Shiren 5 on my Nintendo DSi

Oh Hikki you wonderful dork

Tuffty · « **Reply #630 on:** February 22, 2011, 01:30:01 AM »

^ And following on from that:

Quote

"I've been playing Shiren the Wanderer 5 too much," Utada added, "and I was even going through dungeons in a dream. All my items, like the Herb of Revival, that were in a very important jar transformed into rice balls, and I woke up just as I said, 'Gah, my weapons!'"

We've all had that dream right guys?

J-Triumf · « **Reply #631 on:** February 28, 2011, 02:23:57 AM »

MY TOP 5 HIKKI SONGS (no particular order, subject to change as I continue to explore her work more):

"Exodus" - One of the first songs of hers I got into, anchored by a strong Timbaland beat and an other-worldly atmosphere befitting the song's theme. I've forever associated it with travelling due to both the actual lyrics and sound and having discovered it right before the summer of '05 when I went to SoCal and Disneyland twice within two months.

"Keep Tryin' - Again with the other-worldly atmosphere (actually one of the main things I love about her music), with a great sense of groove going through the whole song. Trippy/funny video.

"Distance"/"Final Distance" - I'm considering them one song, dammit!

The ballad version is so emotional and powerful, I once tried making myself cry by listening to it while watching the post-sunset twilight over the ocean near the LA airport.

Also my cousins have associated it with me for karaoke nights. Original version is so happy, upbeat and calming; crazy contrast for what is essentially the same song.

"This One (Crying Like a Child)" - Another emotionally powerful track, mainly due to her vocals and beat...the lyrics are actually kinda corny ("and the crowd is going wi-i-ild!").

"Uso Mitai na I love You" - Funky hard rock sound! An aggressive Hikki is an awesome Hikki. The original basis for the "Simple and Clean" chorus.

^ My first time hearing that live; she's great. Goodbye Happiness is one of those songs I like listening to when I'm relaxing, sippin on some ice tea. Well, I haven't done the ice tea bit yet, but I'll remember to.

STAY SAFE HiKKKI, she tweets:

Wow I just experienced the biggest earthquake of my life. Gas/electricity has stopped in many areas of Japan and some people have died.

Like a few other idols I follow on Twitter, she's been retweeting public service information constantly through the day, presumably in the hope that word will get out there to the people that follow her. I'm glad to hear she's ok.

Hikki's message from her official site: http://www.emimusic.jp/hikki/from_hikki/

Quote

03.26(SAT) 11:17 A Message
On March 11th, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit North Japan, taking the lives of countless people, leaving many survivors homeless, in the cold, with no gas, no electricity, no running water, and in fear of radiation leaking from a nuclear power plant.
This is the biggest natural disaster recorded in Japanese history in a thousand years.
After the earthquake I gave 400 ml of my blood to a blood bank, and made a donation to Japan's Red Cross. At times like these, we need to help one another, do what we can the each of us. Please help Japan, it doesn't matter how much you give. One way to make a donation is through your country's Red Cross, by specifying its use for Japan's earthquake and tsunami victims.

There is something we can all learn from what is happening in Japan. For decades we have depended on nuclear power. It has made possible quick economic growth and a "convenient" society, but also a lifestyle that is very wasteful.
This catastrophe has made many of us in Japan realize that we have been taking many things for granted---food, energy, daily supplies, running water, resources, life.
You don't have to wait until you lose everything, to learn that what you have is precious. If we all save energy, use only what we need, and live responsibly for what we consume, we can make the world a safer, more peaceful place, for us all.

All of us in Japan are very grateful, we are all touched deeply, by the support we have received from overseas. Thank you. I wish you all love, and peace.

Hikaru Utada

03.26(SAT) 11:15 メッセージ
今回の大地震と大津波でお亡くなりになられた大勢の方々に、お悔やみ申し上げます。

そして大切な人を失った方、帰る場所を失い、不安な日々を送っている方々を思うと、心が痛みます。

私にとっても、母の生まれ故郷である岩手、祖母が眠る宮城も大きな被害を受けたということもあり、今何が出来るか考え、献血、そして日本赤十字社を通して被災地への寄付をさせていただきました。

日本全国で、そして国外からも、同じ気持ちで寄付や支援活動を行っている人たちが沢山、いると思います。今後、テレビで災害の報道がされなくなっても、助け合う気持ち、愛し合う気持ちを忘れずに、みんなで一緒にこの困難を乗り越えていきましょう。

この事態から、私たちひとりひとりが学ぶべきこと、気付くべきことがあると思います。

当たり前のように思っていた今の便利な暮らしが、実はとても脆いシステムの上で成り立っているということ。電力、特に原子力発電に大変依存していて、その負担やリスクの多くを一部地方に担ってもらっていること。

食べ物、生活用品、エネルギー、資源、そして命があることは「当たり前」ではなく、「ありがたい」のだと気付き、「あるから使う」のではなく、「必要なだけ使う」という意識に切り替え、何が無駄かを考えていけたら、みんなで無駄を減らすことが出来る思います。無駄の少ない世界は悲しみも少ない世界かもしれません。

被災者の皆さまの心と身体の傷が癒え、心から笑顔になれる日が一日でも早く来ますように、祈っています。

宇多田ヒカルより
