WOW....AMAZING...SURREAL....adjectives cannot explain how great this utada concert was. Is it a dream-did i really see utada in concert? I was in the 2nd row too!! On one hand, DJ Rizzo was not as bad as i expected--i expected worse from hearing on other states but no one boo'd and ppl did seem semi interested. yes, the music was very clubby and pop charts galore but who cares? just a good way to pump up the crowd before hikki made her presence.

I will do a quick re-cap on my impressions of the songs she sang.

1) Opening intro--from her Exodus album. she doesn't want to cross from genre to genre? too late lol--she experiments with rock, r&b, pop, ballads, japanese, english. This was straight from the CD quality.

2) This is the one album songs: Simply Amazing. Right from the beginning, i can already tell her voice was in top condition. every word was concise and on par. Loved all her versions, especially towards the end when she adds extra tunes (ad-lib?) to her songs. it makes it so original as if its a new song different from the CD. Hikki excels in this througout. Especially loved FYI and Come back to me, and crowd pleaser was dirty desire.

3) First Love Album: Obviously, she sang first love. crowd went crazy and believed many of them (including me) sang the song together with her. Sounded like her unplug version. she needs to release this song again but with her vocals now. And-another crowd favorite--Automatic. Got emotional on this one as this song bought me waaaaay back (10 years) to why i love her! haha. Sounded like the UH 2006 (dare i say, even better!)

4) Distance Album: My personal favorite--Can you Keep a secret? Excellent version.

5) Deep River: I play the piano so when she started playing piano for sakura drops, i lost it. hikki + piano = instant win ha ha. i saw on youtube on other states that she altered the higher pitch parts so i was concerned. But NOPE--she actually sang how it orignally sounded and was pitch perfect! Hikki sometimes can struggle with higher pitches live but omg, she nailed it! 5 stars!

6) Ultra Blue/Heart Station album: Stay gold on piano--instant win but also backed up by the band so it turned out to have some rock flare to it. excellent! Another crowd favorite was Sanctuary/Passion. Showed her bilingual capabilites singing japanese/english. totally loved her bridge part where she even reverses the lines-genius! And, she even added the ending part that starts with "zutto..."

7) Exodus Album: Wow, some really good songs. Devil inside, you make me wanna be a man, kremlim dusk all done VERY well. YES,even better than UH 2006(hard to rival)

8) Encore-Simple and clean(beautiful) and Me Muero. CD wise wasnt a fan of me muero but her live version changed my view of it-jazzy and sultry.

All in all, lost my voice from screaming so much but Utada had greaaat stage presence and knew how to work the crowd. My basis was that she definately sang better than the UH 2006 Concert (very hard to do) How can such a humble artist be so good? Hope everyone enjoyed the concert as much as I did! I truly hope Hikki knows that she has fans in the US ready to support her!! Ganbatte ne!!
