hikki has done it again! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
i have loved hikki for years now....and she will always be my favourite singer.
this album is amazing. in every way.
it has funny and cute songs like "boku wa kuma" , but also strong ones like "kiss and cry" and "fight the blues" some of my favourite songs of the album are "take 5" and "beautiful world" that are incredible.
i think every song deserves 10/10 and this is a great album for all hikaru fans that love true good music.
i love you forever hikki-chan! あいしてる ひっき。

 Music is born once again. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Utada is an amazing person. Throughout her career, she has been writing and composing most of her own music. She never stops amazing me. The lyrics are beautiful and they contrast well with the music, building this sound scape that's so possible for anyone to imagine as they listen through. The tunes in each of these songs are so unimaginable and so acceptable. It's hard to think such tunes like these existed. This album surely is a great example of how music is an endless flow of creativity. The hours Utada spent in composing and writing at home surely payed off.

For those wondering, this album includes her singles since 2006's Bokua Kuma (I'm a Bear) to the most recent 2008 single Prisoner Of Love. This means that many great songs are surely included in this album as well as the new material. Even better, this album is mastered by Ted Jensen. Mastered from Sterling Studios once again, this album sounds just as great when listening.

Unless you understand Japanese, you'll probably get a little idea of what the music is about to not understanding it at all. Buy this album regardless of whether you understand Japanese or not. Only then you can understand why such music like this exists in Japan and in today's time in music.

Question Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I love Utada Hikaru's music very much because of her catchy tunes and some of her songs makes the atmosphere soothing to me <3

But before purchasing this album, i would like to ask if the Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan versions are the same since there are difference prices on them.

And since i'm seeing under the "Technical Information" that the language is Japanese. Which parts are the difference?

9/10 Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
The only downside to this album for me is that I wish there were more newer tracks on Hikaru's new album. But at the same time it doesn't hurt the album too much because all the perviously released singles are a pleasure to listen to. I enjoyed all the new tracks on the album. Each brings its own light and texture to the album. No one will be taking a gamble picking up this cd. This will always be an easy choice to always keep around and listen to over and over again. The reason is quite simple - Hikaru's music always leaves a lasting impression on your heart.

Good album Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I certainly have enjoyed listening to this album. The playlist is perfect and has an interesting order. I personally cannot just listen to one song. Once I listen to "Fight The Blues", I automactically want to listen to the rest of the album. You can't ignore the rest of the songs. So, what a great album and once you listen to "Fight The Blues" you're well on your way in listening the whole entire album.

 New Style Hikki Wins My Heart Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Firstly, I’ve never been a really huge fan of Hikki. From First Love till Ultra Blue, there were only a few songs that managed to catch my attention like “ Deep River ” and “ Blue ”. The rest were only so-so. I guess it’s because I’ve been so accustomed and used to songs from Ayumi & BoA ( which are quite different from Utada’s style ). After some time, I decided to give this album a try since people do change and maybe Hikki has a new genre of songs that appeal to me. I was pretty surprised when I heard the first track “ Fight The Blues ”. This song is like a continuation from her previous album Ultra Blue. I absolutely loved the starting and was soon enjoying myself in this great song. The lyrics were pretty meaningful too especially the part where Hikki says : I HATE TO LOSE. Next up was “ Heart Station ”, the absolute perfect song in this album. Again, the melody was somewhat similar to the previous song. But my guess is that Hikki’s new style ( dance ) has won me over to her side ! I kept repeating the first 2 tracks that somehow it felt like the other songs were not there. When it was time to move on, I had another pleasant surprise as my confidence in this album grew with “ Beautiful World ”. This was another track that made me wanna dance along to it, awesome ! What amazes me for all 3 dance tracks is that her vocals remain strong as ever and unwavering. “ Flavor Of Life - Ballad Version ” was not too bad although I prefer the original version which is the last track. This ballad version is much slower and it clearly shows Hikki utilizing her powerful vocals to the max. “ Stay Gold ” is another slow song with some electronica taste in it which carries a meaningful message to her darling. “ Kiss & Cry ” is a good song if not for the starting part with the old music which keeps appearing somewhere in the middle of the song. Quite wasted actually if not it would have been one of my favorites. I’ll skip the interlude before arriving at the song “ Celebrate ”. Nothing really special about this song except it’s pretty catchy. Next up was “ Prisoner Of Love ”, a very mid-tempo and catchy song which is another one of my favorite. As I mentioned above, it was this dance style of Utada that truly intrigued me to like this album. Everything went well till the next song, “ Take 5 ”. Now here’s the weird thing about this song. It's actually pretty good but somehow a big problem occurred right at the end. I was enjoying the song when suddenly it ended abruptly at around 3m43s. How weird can that be ? To make sure my CD was ok, I decided to dl that particular song and try it out. It turned out to be the same ! How weird can that be huh ? Anywayz, the next song “ Boku wa Kuma ” was my least favorite as it sounded so childish and so unlike Hikki. Probably wanted to show us the cute side of Hikki. “Niji-iro Basu ” had a very happy and upbeat tone, not a bad song. Finally, the original version of “Flavor Of Life ” wraps up a fantastic Utada Hikaru album. Other than a slight hiccup in track 10 and a very childish track 11, this album has totally changed my perception towards Hikki. She is good and I hope she can continue this style of music ^^

Fight The Blues : 10/10 Heart Station : 10/10
Beautiful World : 9/10 Flavor Of Life ( Ballad Version ) : 9/10 Stay Gold : 9/10 Kiss & Cry : 8/10 Gentle Beast Interlude : 7/10 Celebrate : 7/10 Prisoner Of Love : 10/10 Take 5 : 6/10
Boku wa Kuma : 5/10
Niji-iro Basu : 8/10 Flavor Of Life ( Original Version ) : 10/10

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Utada's new CD knocked my socks off! It is so perfectly crafted. The production is top-notch. The music is so expertly balanced. The beats are addictive. It has a nice electronic touch to it without being overdone. Her singing is rich and silky as always. The songs are really catchy. I especially like "Prisoner of Love" but just about all the songs are brilliant. It's the kind of CD you can listen to over and over again without getting tired of it. I'm so in love with this CD!

Everything I expected & more! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I just recieved mine in the mail! It's another hit album by utada!

She still is at the top of my list of female jpop artists. Every album she releases has never disappointed me and this one is no exception.

I like that this album has songs from her singles because I don't collect singles; I wait for the full album. I also love the new tracks. Niji-iro Bus, Teiku 5, and Celebrate are my favorite non-advertised tracks on the album.

I love Utada's orginal beats. If you enjoy a mix and beats/techno/pop... this is definitely for you.

She's done it again! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I waited with anticipation for a good week and a half for this album and it was well worth it. Even though I'm clueless in Japanese I still felt connected to her! Her being bilingual definitely brings more to the table! I've been a big fan of hers for a while and this album keeps that going! A definite get! Oh, I love her so much.

Wonderful Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I'm a huge admirer of Utada Hikaru's wonderous individual vocal style and love all of her previous albums, but like many I was unsure what to expect from her latest offering Heart Station. Having already heard Flavor of Life, Kiss & Cry, Beautiful World, Heart Station and Stay Gold, I wondered how much more her new album could have to offer. Well, having recently received my Heart Station cd I can now say that the rest of the album is brilliant. The opening track Fight The Blues is Wonderful, and prepares you for the overall flavor of the album which flows effortlessly from track to track. I can honestly say that there are no tracks that I want to skip, even the children's song Boku wa Kuma ('My Teddy' - Track 11) is a really nice song. Utada's Heart Station is a beautiful music experience, it's kind to your ears and gentle on your mood and I love it! And I'm looking forward to Utada's next English album.
