Influences: Aaliyah, Béla Bartók, Björk, Mary J. Blige, The Blue Nile, Jeff Buckley, Chick Corea, Cocteau Twins, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, Hibari Misora, Nine Inch Nails, Yutaka Ozaki, Édith Piaf, Prince, Queen, The CureHikaru Utada (宇多田ヒカル, Utada Hikaru), born January 19 1983, is one of Japan's most prominent and successful music artists. Utada's debut album, First Love (1999), recorded when they were only 15 years old, is the #1 best-selling album in Japan's history, selling at least 7.7 million copies in total (10.1 million copies worldwide), including over 2 million copies in its first week alone. Most of their following singles and albums went on to occupy the top ten spots on the same list.Utada writes and produces almost all of their music, differentiating them from the numerous Idol Singers who don't hold much creative power over their work. Born and raised in New York, Utada is fluent in Japanese and English, and has released two English-language albums for the American market under the mononym, Utada.In the west, Utada is perhaps most well-known for writing and singing the theme songs of the three main numbered entries in the Kingdom Hearts games — both the Japanese and English versions. Their songs "Beautiful World", "Sakura Nagashi" and "One Last Kiss" are featured in the Rebuild of Evangelion series.In late 2010, Utada held a pair of "goodbye" concerts before going on hiatus in 2011. The concert was streamed live on the web for the benefit of their foreign fans and others who wouldn't be able to see it in person.During their hiatus, Utada reportedly focused on "human activities" such as personal development, expanding their horizons and building relationships in their life. Additionally, a number of major events took place in their life. In 2013, they lost their mother, renowned enka singer Keiko Fuji, to suicide, in 2014, they married their second husband, a bartender from Italy, and in 2015 they gave birth to their first son. During this time they also wrote music. In 2016, after 5 years of hiatus, they returned to the music industry with their sixth Japanese album (and ninth overall), Fantôme, which was inspired in part by the events of their life during their hiatus, and dedicated to their late mother.In June 2021, Mys. Utada came out as non-binary on an Instagram Live.note At the 2:30 mark.Japanese discography First Love (1999) Distance (2001) DEEP RIVER (2002) Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 1 (2004) (compilation album) ULTRA BLUE (2006) HEART STATION (2008) Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 2 (2010) (compilation album) Fantôme (2016) Hatsukoi (2018) note (初恋, "First Love") One Last Kiss (2021) note serves as compilation album of all songs done for Rebuild of Evangelion Bad Mode (2022)English discography Precious (1998) (under the pseudonym "Cubic U") Exodus (2004) (Utada) This is the One (2009) (Utada) Utada the Best (2010)(compilation album) (Utada) | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Hikaru Utada (Music) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: As a native English speaker, they make frequent use of English in their lyrics, and unlike many of their J-pop contemporaries the lyrics are both grammatically correct and relevant and meaningful to the songs they appear on; in some cases integral to understanding them fully. Their given name provides one too: They're a pop star named Hikaru (the verb "to shine" in Japanese). | |

Gratuitous English: Averted - see Bilingual Bonus entry above - understandably, as they are a native English speaker. Fantôme in particular is notable for using far less English than their previous albums. 7 of the 11 songs feature no English, while of the remaining 4 that do, only "Michi" has a significant amount. | |

Vocal Evolution | |

Vocal Evolution: Their singing voice has gotten deeper and more restrained (less melisma and belting) in their newer work, especially Fantôme. They've also gradually reduced the American affect in their pronunciation while singing. | |

Sampling | |
| Hikaru Utada (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: "Give Me a Reason" samples the famous drum break from James Brown's "Funky Drummer". Hearing it in a slow ballad is... weird. "Never Let Go" interpolates the melody from Sting's "Shape of My Heart". The violin-sounding instrument from "Exodus '04", produced by Timbaland, is lifted from the song "Meshkeltek" by an Arabian artist named Aitha al-Menhali. "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (FYI)", as the name suggests, prominently samples Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence". | |

Out-of-Genre Experience | |
| Hikaru Utada (Music) / int_74ee1c2d | comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: Almost all their music is pop, R&B or electronic, but they've also recorded a handful of rock songs. DEEP RIVER has "Uso Mitai na I Love You". Exodus has "Kremlin Dusk". Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 2 has "Show Me Love (Not a Dream)". Distance actually does this twice, with "Drama" and "Kettobase!". | |

Translated Cover Version | |
| Hikaru Utada (Music) / int_76c9393c | comment |
Translated Cover Version: Most famously, for the international releases of various Kingdom Hearts games, they recorded English versions of the theme songs they contributed to the games. Specifically: "Simple and Clean" (Kingdom Hearts) is the English version of "Hikari". "Sanctuary" (Kingdom Hearts II) is the English version of "Passion". "Don't Think Twice" (Kingdom Hearts III) is the English version of "Chikai". "Face My Fears" (Kingdom Hearts III) has an English and Japanese version, with the same title. The dub mix of "Time Will Tell" is a partial version of this. Not all of the lyrics are included (dub mixes tend to take out at least some of the lyrics or vocals of the original song), but the ones that are translated into English. Their cover of "Hyme a l'amour (Ai no Anthem)" is a partial example. The first part of the song is in the original French while the second part is in Japanese. | |

Idol Singer: Defied; though most female singers around their age were idols when they debuted, they opted not to go this route, preferring to be a more straightforward singer-songwriter since idols rarely have any creative control over their music. | |

Continuity Nod: This is present in two of their music videos from different eras in their career. The first is "Keep Tryin" which has references to their past MV's that were all directed by their then husband, Kazuaki Kiriya. Naturally, avid fans had fun pointing these out. The second, "Goodbye Happiness" also has references to some of their past videos. The title of their 7th Japanese album, Hatsukoi, is one to their debut First Love ("Hatsukoi" (初恋) means "First Love" in Japanese.) | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Hikaru Utada (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The whiplash from the lamentation of a neighbor's death to Intercourse with You in "Let Me Give You My Love". On Heart Station, "Take 5", a rather haunting song about dying and being separated from one's body, cuts abruptly into "Boku wa Kuma" which is a cute, children's song about, uh, a bear. Fantôme follows "Michi", an upbeat dance-pop track dedicated to their mother's memory, with "Ore no Kanojo", a downbeat, jazzy/orchestral song about a troubled All Take and No Give relationship with some of the most overt Intercourse with You lyrics of their career. Also from Fantôme, "Boukyaku", with ambient instrumentation and despondent lyrics contemplating suicide, is followed directly by "Jinsei Saikou no Hi", which is an upbeat song about anticipation and new love. | |

Foreign Language Title | |
| Hikaru Utada (Music) / int_b1b48ad1 | comment |
Foreign Language Title: All of their Japanese albums, and most of the songs on them. Outside of Fantôme, this can be justified by them featuring English lyrics prominently in all of them and apparently often writing their lyrics in English first before translating them to Japanese. Fantôme averts this (other than with its title), as all of the tracks have Japanese titles. Hatsukoi is their first Japanese album to avert this, with a Japanese title. However, some of the tracks have English titles. | |

Again, Utada mentions them directly in the lyrics. To Simon & Garfunkel in "This One (Crying Like a Child)". Again, they are mentioned by name.
