I love Hikki too. I'm not saying that she can't hit the high notes, but I'm saying that if you compare her singing now, say Traveling, from SMAPxSMAP, to back then, it's really different.

Of course when you grow older, your voice changes. But I think that her newer songs, like Stay Gold or Prisoner of Love, you can tell that her voice is different from hers in Ultra Blue.

It's a different style, but you get what I mean.


Nonetheless, I still love her music & lyrics.

Do you think Utada can sing Hikari w/o her voice cracking?

(I saw her Heyheyhey! live performance, and her voice was a bit, Idk. Did she say she was sick?)

Of course! Her music definitely got me through a lot of bad times! (Try listening to Take 5, it's good)
