Hikaru Utada Breaks Hiatus To Release "Evangelion 3.0" Theme




"Sakura Nagashi" (Flowing Cherry Blossoms)

[Cover art + translated lyrics]


Lyrics (translated by Utada herself):

Watching flowers just blossomed fall
"Too early, this year" you said,
In disappointment, regret
And you were beautiful

If you could see me now
I wonder what you would think
Me, living without you

Everybody finds love
In the end

If you could hear the newborn's cry,
Sound and healthy
Ringing in the town you protected
I know you would be so pleased
The footsteps that continue after us

Everybody finds love
In the end

I can't believe that I'll never see you again
I haven't told you anything yet
I haven't told you anything yet

Watching flowers just blossomed fall
The trees stood by, helpless

However great the fear, I will not look away
If at the end of everything, there is love


The song was released to iTunes (Japan) and Recochoku today. "Sakura Nagashi" will have a physical release in the form of a DVD single out on December 26, 2012.

I feel like if Hikki were to try the US market again, it would stick.

She's tried twice, hasn't she?
itscomicrelief 17th-Nov-2012 04:16 am (UTC)
Yup. Flopped both times.

Come Back to Me got a surprising amount of radio play though (at least in Vegas)

Utada!

She better be coming out with her own shit soon.

Amazing song, please come back to us Utada. I miss her so much.

I can't say I liked most of her stuff after her first three albums, but this isn't bad. And her voice sounds less chipmunky/strained here.

im really emotional about this STILL

i wish she would come back full time ugh but ultra blue never gets old
induced_panic 17th-Nov-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
Her voice is flawless
mercystars 17th-Nov-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
out of curiosity, why is oprah crying in that gif?

It was her second to final episode of her talk show. Every celebrity ever decided to stop by and surprise her. Singers, Dancers, Actors/Actresses, Poets, politicians, etc.

And I guess the experience of all that love and appreciation was all a little overwhelming. I'd cry too.
mercystars 18th-Nov-2012 01:05 am (UTC)
ahh, I see

that makes sense

perfection.

Not sure how much I like the song, but I love her forever and I'm happy she's kind of coming back. :)

Hikki can do no wrong in my eyes.

Bawling right now. Too flawless for human ears.

She used to be my jam, I see this being my jam too.
