Can't get enough of this song...
|
I may live in America but when I got the Kingdom Hearts game the second it started playing I had to hear it again, so I reset my PS2 and listened to it over and over! I really want Utada's CD, but I don't think my parents will let me get it! I love her voice and that song ("Simple and Clean") sooo much, you absolutely have to get it, well I have to go listen to it again!! ^_^ |

In my opinion one of Utada Hikarus best cd singles is Hikari. It was released in 2002 and was the second Utada Hikaru cd that I purchased. There are four tracks on the cd: 1. Hikari 2. Hikari ?Godson Mix 3. Hikari ?PLANITb Remix 4. Hikari - original karaoke The first track, Hikari, is about five minutes long. It is a very nice song with well thought out lyrics. I think that many people can relate to the lyrics of this song, and I think that is one of the reasons why it is so popular. The song is very well written, both the music and lyrics. When you listen to this song you get all kinds of feelings. It can make you cry, but it also can also be encouraging, and very inspiring. Hikaru combines saddens, hope, and joy in one song. Track number two, Hikari ?PLANITb Remix, is something good to dance to. It has the same lyrics as track one, but it is sung faster. Some songs are sung too fast in remixes, and it makes the song seem too rushed, like someone is shoving it down your throat. In this remix, the song is very fast paced, but instead of sounding like shes just rushing threw the song, Hikaru adds lots of life to it, making it sound more natural. The third song on this cd, Hikari- Godson Mix, is kind of a mix between the first two songs. While the first song is sung slowly, and the second is sung fast, this song is sung at a pace some were in between the two. It is a good song that has a fun pop sounding side to it. The fourth track is simply the Karaoke for the first track. This is one of my favorite things that Hikaru does. I love it when she includes karaokes, and/or instrumental versions of her songs. I think this track is great whether youre singing along, or just listening to it. It is nice to listen to, and makes you realize how much work is put into the back ground music. I think the cover and back pictures are good. The back picture is my favorite because it is a nice picture of Hikaru. The cd is a simple grey color with white writing on it, but I think it looks great and is perfect for the whole look and feeling of the single. The cd also comes with the lyrics for Hikari. Thats another thing I love. Hikaru always includes the lyrics to her songs. Over all I rate this single five stars. Whether you can understand the lyrics or not I think you will enjoy it. If you like this cd I recommend Colors, another single by Hikaru. It includes the songs, Colors, Simple and Clean, Simple and Clean- PLANITb Remix, and Colors-Karaoke. I also recommend the sound track of Kingdom Hearts, which includes the instrumental version of Hikari, and other songs by Hikaru, and other artists. |

Love this song. I really like how she started with the chorus then had a small rest after it. Never heard that being done before. The arrangement is fairly simple, but still manages to be a very interesting and different song. Nice and calming song. I like the remixes as well. The PlanitB mix is a nice contrast to the original as it is very upbeat and catchy. The Godson mix is also a very good mix. Kind of has a Pop/R&B feel to it. |
