Hello! I'm in a Japanese pop and rock influenced band called Hoshi Furu (http://facebook.com/hoshifuru) and we recently released a punk cover of Utada Hikaru's "First Love". We hope you like it! Utada Hikaru's a huge influence of mine so I hope people enjoy this little tribute we did, haha. Our cover is available to stream here https://www.facebook.com/hoshifuru/app_178091127385 and to download here http://www.mediafire.com/?mh8j37x1g8ijog9.

Very creative cover, even though I'm not fans of Punk music. But this is wonderful to see that Hikki music influence people music in many genre. Salute

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, as the main songwriter of the band, Utada has influenced me A LOT. Although our vocalist is mainly influenced by a lot of visual kei bands, it's my love for Utada that's "forced" her to sing all the melodies and harmonies like Utada, ahaha.
