I have a friend who likes Japan, and I want to introduce Hikki's music to her. However, I went to show her a Western-friendly song so she can relate with Hikki before I show her more of her music.
Anyone got a good list? Don't include TITO songs please =). Thanks! |

Other than TITO, I wouldn't call any of her songs similar to western ones. The closest I'd say are Time Limit, Kiss & Cry, Tokyo Nights. Maybe Movin On Without You. Maybe Also I don't know if this counts but, having been exposed to only American music until then, Flavor of Life, Prisoner of Love and then BLUE were the songs that really got me into her music. But again, I wouldn't call any of them western-sounding.
Hope this helps! Edit: Yeah... Can't go wrong with First Love / Automatic. |

Exodus? Many good tracks there if your friend likes the ambient/experimental genre. Or you could simply play First Love and gauge her reaction because from past observation, most people would fall in love with that song even though they do not dig Japanese songs or they've no idea who the heck Utada is or they just hate pop.

Final Distance I reckon. If it had English lyrics I always imagine it to do well in the charts.
